For my ozone generator I ordered a simple cycle timer that allows me to control the on and off time independently, 1-20s. I have it all wired up to an outlet that I plug the generator into so that I didn't have to mess with the beautiful job the guy did wiring the ozone, and should it ever break I can disconnect it easy. I plan on running that for 1 second on, 20 seconds off and then having that on a timer that will run it in short 1-5 minute intervals every 3 hours. The intervals will be controlled by a standard 8-function digital timer. Its a 3500mg/hr element but gets reduced to as little as 175mg/hr. It seemed like a much more viable option than buying a smaller element or trying to deal with 1-minute intervals only.
In response to another thread about a fan controller I made, since it appears we have a lot of electricians around, I was wondering if there would be a simple way to make something like this with a larger relay and upgraded potentiometers. Would I be wasting my time or can I achieve this with some simple basic circuitry? It actually works pretty well so far but would like to maybe upgrade for other things as well that might need more dialing in more often. Repeat cycle timers are just TOO expensive.

I'll be testing and implementing the thing in the next few days and need to balance out the amount of ozone being generated in the apartment. I'll probably end up ordering some ozone test strips for safety, but any tips or recommendations would be welcomed.
Here's the calculated output and decay chart I made based on a 30 minute half-life. I was aiming for as little ozone left when the next cycle kicks on but it seems like its way too little ozone to only run it for 1 minute.
