the Milwaukee SMS 510 ORP controller

the Milwaukee SMS 510 ORP controller

mikeguerro---
I just recieved the Milwaukee SMS 510 ORP controller . It has a setting for MINIMUM orp....Isn't the risk that ORP goes to high? So this unit is not appropriate for use with ozonizers? It will turn on the ozonizer when the orp drops. Don't we need a controller that will turn OFF the ozonizer when the orp rises too high?
Maybe I am missing something. Just trying to follow this thread.
 
The minimum ORP means that if it is below that amount it will turn on the ozonator and air pump to bring it up to that minimum amount. Think of it as the high point. It won't let the ozone get higher than that. It's just worded differently.

It will turn on the ozonizer and air pump to raise orp to the minimum. Then the unit will shut off....Got it....I think....
My scalp hurts.....
Thanks, Fred.
 
I have the same unit... ORP goes below set-point(mine is around 390), controller turns on(flashing light). ORP is above set-point, controller turns ozone off(flashing light is out).
 
Ishmael,

I get my unit this Wednesday so I cannot comment on it yet, but I do own the Milwaukee SMS 122 PH controller which acts the same way that both members have told you.

For the PH controller you set the dial on say 7.9 and then walk away. The controller will inject C02 into your reactor until the value hits 7.9 it will shut off the solenoid and the flashing light will shut off.

Then as the value goes abouve 7.9 say 8.0 it will turn the solenoid on and C02 will enter your reactor, thus you'll see the flashing light again.

The SMS 510 should run on those exact principles except it controls the ozone unit and watches for millivolts instead of PH.

Hope this helps out....

To Mike et al.
Thanks a lot. I am trying to do this alone and could not understand why Milwaukee would refer to an UPPER limit as a minimum. I am sure I will be back.....

Vamp,

I don't have my controller unit so I haven't set it up.... Once I do I'll let you know what setting I have my Luft pump on...

Ishmael,
I'll be here to answer your questions, don't worry. Milwaukee is a good product and it's very affordable.

MG

p.s
Can someone chime in and suggest a setting for Vamp???
 
I have a enlay 300 it does 200g/h I can not stop the smell of ozone is there any thing I can do . I already have bought the coralife ozone reactor and also put it into my asm skimmer and put carbon on top of the lid. nothing works is it because I am pushing to much at one time if so what do I need to do to fix it.
thanks

Put carbon in the bag and throw inside the skimmer not on the top. it maybe help IMO. I also smell the Ozoner at my skimmer but if i run couple hours then it won't smell it. I will try to throw a carbon bag inside the skimmer and see how it work.
 
Wouldn't that affect the amount of bubbles and the contact time in the skimmer? On your enlay, how much are you pushing in? You might only need less then 25% of that.
 
Run carbon inside the filter sock of the return line of the skimmer. I have two bags of chemipure in there and that will extract any unwanted odors or gaseous that might enter your living room.

Some people drill a hole in the top side of their collection cup and T the line into the air line going into the skimmer so that the excess ozone is circled back into the skimmer.
 
Disney95: I had an Enlay too.....I got it because people on this thread said it was a good unit or the best buy for your money.....I had it for about a month and then it stopped working......in the time that it was running I got a terrible smell of ozone in the air......200mg is just too much.....after it crapped out I got a 100mg AquaMedic (made by Sanders).....I have it set to about 35% ( its adjustable)......no more ozone smell and my ORP stays at 385

I guess when it comes to ozone....you get what you pay for
 
I have the same problem with the Enaly OZX-300U unit. I smell Ozone all the time no matter how much carbon I use. I'll sell it for $60.00 including air dryer and shipping if anyone wants it. PM me if interested.
 
I'm on the other side of the argument for using the Enaly unit. I believe that this unit may be over powered for smaller tanks. My unit is teed off to 2 different skimmers and neither has carbon on their exits. I can only smell the ozone if I stick my head under the stand. The unit is allowed to run 24/7 via a controller which allows constant regulation of my ORP rather than periodic doses. I think this may account for not smelling the ozone, since it comes on for very brief periods. I keep my ORP between 410 and 420 mv.

One more thing that has kept the ozone going into the skimmers and not into the air is using ozone safe tubing, fittings, and check valves. When I used regular air fittings and tubing I had alot of leakage and ozone smell.

Not saying that those on this thread have not done the same, just throwing in my own experience with the unit.
