My DIY air dryer for ozone

[PelagicMagic]

Materials list:
PVC pipe
aqua mend
air hose
Desiccant
1/4" irrigation barb
end caps sized to fit pipe
2 Budweiser's

Step 1

Cut pipe to desired size

Put saw down and open beer # 1 (trust me, the loss of fingers is a bad thing)

Step 2

Drill holes in end caps

One end cap gets multiple holes the other only one

Step 3
Insert 1/4" barb and seal air tight w/ aqua mend

Step 4
Attach air hose

Open beer # 2 (I have found that you can substitute this step w/ a shot of tequila if you prefer)

Step 5
Fill tube w/ Desiccant

And thatââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s it

I donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t know how well this will work but I will update you all in a few weeks

Oh, great..... Now it looks like you are making pipe bombs! Oops, here come the off topic cops!

 

[PelagicMagic]

Where did you get the desiccant from?
The only problem I can think of with your design is that you can't see the desiccant so you have to take it apart to see if the color changing beads have changed meaning it's time to recharge them.

I am going to just recharge it on a weekly to bi weekly basis. There is clear pvc available so maybe the next one I build will be clear. Its working well so far, orp jumped up with in 30 min of attaching the dryer. I got the desiccant from my old job where I was an assistant lab manager. I think its fisher scientific desiccant

[PelagicMagic]
