A2Z Ozone SP - Series - Manual (Page 8)

TUBE CONNECTION AND START UP:
Connect silicone tube (if you use oxygen generator or oxygen tank or external air compressor) to
ozone generator (Air IN) and direct it away from hot and humid air to the ozone cell. This will
serve as oxygen, or fresh air for ozone production.
Connect ozone generator Teflon tube (OZONE OUT) to venture injector manifold.
Install a check valve 10 inches after ozone out let tube fitting (even the venturi has internal
check valve). You may do this by cutting tube ten inch after OZONE out fitting. Connect both
ends of cut tubes to the check valve. Please direct the arrow on the check valve toward venturi.
START, first the swimming pool water re-circulation pump. Make sure you have vacuum at the
venturi via a gauge and test it by putting your finger on the venturi opening. You should feel a
small suction, this is what is needed to get the ozone production out of the unit and inject it into
the pool piping system. Check Flow meter, air flow should indicate at least 2 LPM. Now connect
the Teflon tube from the venturi to the ozonator and turn on the power in the internal panel of
ozone generator.
The ozone indicator light up and the fan should turn on. Increase power to the Cells by turning
the ozone control knob clockwise. Please refer to the charts above for the approximate ozone
concentration for your size of pool.
OZONE GENERATOR OPERATION
System Running Time
On residential pools, the ozone generator should operate for six to eight hours per day.
Normally, the ozone system will run whenever the pool filtration system is operating. Since
commercial pool and spa filtration systems normally operate 24 hours a day, the ozone system
will run continuously on a commercial pool.
Understanding Your Water
If a high concentration of any mineral (such as calcium or iron) exists in the water, it is necessary
to treat it before starting the ozone system.
Note: This should be required only when the pool is drained and refilled.
If the water is clean and clear, the ozone system may be started immediately. If the water is
dirty and cloudy, it is recommended that it is drained and the filters thoroughly cleaned before
refilling and starting the system.
Note: It is not recommended that an in-ground pool be drained in the winter or after the first
rain of a season. Use a shock treatment instead of draining to avoid the possibility of severe
damage resulting from “floating” the pool out of the ground.
Ozone and Bromine
Ozone has a short “half-life”, which means it dissipates and re-transforms into oxygen very
quickly. Therefore, a small residual of another disinfectant must be maintained. We recommend
the use of bromine in indoor pools. Bromine residual will act as a buffer when the ozone system
