I saw this after I posted, I guess they changed the design of the Ozone reactor because I do not have that top disk and the black injection is no longer in the kit. Makes me wonder how well this new style is going to work.
I think I liked the old style better.

I wasn't aware the design change had been made...
Certainly looks simpler... and not that I have done it often but there has been more than one occasion when I've had to clean the Venturi. Plus that extra disk with the o-ring is a bit of a PIA to deal with. I cut the snot out of my finger on it while disassembling the reactor early on for plumbing changes.
Based on my experience it looks like a viable upgrade.

The changes were definitely an upgrade in terms of maintenance. Also, the spray nozzle passes slightly more gph than the venturi at the same back pressure.

Mike, there is an upgrade kit that should be on the website shortly. It is not critical though, unless you have to mess with the venturi often.

Finally hooked this up.
I bought a Mag 7 but talked to Justin about Teeing off my Mag 12 return to feed the reactor and the Ozone since I have a Penductor on my return that creates back pressure. This does work however I will be upgrading a Mag 18 since the overflows seem a little slow.
So for anyone wondering if you can Tee off your return pump to feed your Ozone reactor, yes!
You need the following
Penductor on your return and a Mag 18 unless you want crazy flow; then get a Mag 24 and tell us how it goes.

Where did you get the plumbing parts for between the 2 reactors? I like the clean look you have.

Multiple sources. 1/2" Polyethylene tubing came from Bulk-Reef-Supply. The compression fittings are Kynar. Do a Google search as prices vary widely. Some parts came from US Plastics, others from a supplier of ozone equipment for hot tubs.
Polyethylene does not have the greatest resistance to ozone, so I keep a pretty close eye on it. So far, no issues.

Thanks! I'll check them out. I got my 2 reactors today, but the ozone one was taller than the media one, not identical like yours.
