If you've been following my other threads, you will know I have H2S and bacteria, with bacteria fouling that is my main problem.
I've been debating trying an AIO3 system. I really like the simplicity. However, I know I have bacteria and with the filter sanitized once a day, I can be pretty much guaranteed of having bacteria throughout the house and having to sanitize the house on occasion. At the moment, my water is good except there is H2S in the lines going to the downstairs bathroom.
I have been asking myself (and now I'm asking you), why I wouldn't go with a full fledged ozone system instead? I already have a 80 gallon contact tank. I already have a micronizer. I already have centaur carbon filter. I already have a degassifier. In short, I have pretty much all of the equipment to build a system like this one: https://www.oxidationtech.com/media.../home_ozone_system_-_well_water_with_tank.png I think a system like this would give me more continuous sanitization, and because I don't need to buy a new head for my carbon tank, it might be in a somewhat similar price range as AIO3.
In some of my other threads, I've mentioned that it isn't uncommon for bacteria to foul my carbon filter. So far, I've tried hydrogen peroxide and chlorine injection when well pump is pumping to control bacteria. I've been wondering if AIO3, a full on ozonation system like the one I showed above, or chlorine injection protect the media better? I have high pH water (8.7), which reduces the effectiveness of chlorine as a bactericide, which is why I've been wondering about ozone.
Am I on the wrong track?
