I own an ETSS 500 (Evolution) - I called up the manufacturer and asked the same question - they told me not to run ozone through their skimmers - so I built my own ozone reactor from a "whole house acrylic filter cannister" that you can pick up at Lowes or home depot - in retrospect it would have been easier and probably less expensive to buy one already made - they run for $60.00 on up to around $150 - they work better than putting ozone through a skimmer anyway - there are a couple of DIY ozone reactors in the DIY section of this website - or you can just do a search on "ozone reactor"

You can also look in your local club for a free or cheap sea clone skimmer, they make a good reactor. I would not run my ozone through my reactor. 1) i dont want to tear it up, 2) i want my skimmer to be a skimmer, not a ozone reactor.

Etss states their skimmers may be used with ozone.However it is not efficient due to limited dwell time.

Thanks for the info I will do some research on these ozone reactors.

FWIW, i have had JG fittings melt with extended ozone use, and that was on a ozone approved skimmer (aqua C ev 180)
