Ozone question


I have my ozone hooked to my skimmers venturi. The problem is that the skimmer does not work as well with the restricted air flow. I was wondering if it will be ok to inject ozone through an airstone right into the sump. I have an ORP controller on the ozone unit.

Set up a "T" on the venturi intake and just hook the Ozone in the one side. then the skimmer will suck in any additional air it needs to work right from the other side.

I got the T set up. Its too small of a hole. Maybe a larger T will work. My friend was doing it the airstone method- he got sick

I used a T but wound up using a small air pump to help out. The venturi was having a hard time getting air from the air dryer through the ozone gernerator.
