The ozone system sounds like it's a suction side (in front of the pump) air inlet. Those type systems continuously aerate the pool, and make it impossible to maintain recommended levels of carbonate alkalinity. However, this is only a problem on concrete (plaster, etc.) pools.
That's what I have, concrete w/PebbleTec surface. So, if I read you right, I really should disable this thing to keep from eventually compromising the concrete, right? Or, at least monitor and correct the alkalinity often (which I have never done until this last week after I got my K2006), although when you say 'impossible' is that what you really mean?

On the flip side, if the time comes when I really do need to lower the alkalinity would this be a convenient way to aerate, or is there some other reason why I shouldn't use it? This is probably a silly question, but that's just the way I think sometimes.

I can't believe I haven't destroyed my pool in my ignorance, thankfully it's still fairly new and I can redeem myself (I hope).
