Calcium Hardness:
1. The most ignored test run on pool water, but just as important.
2. The hardness of your pool water is very important in controlling scale and the corrosive effects of water. A low Calcium
level may cause pool water to become corrosive, even if the pH is within its recommended range. A telltale sign of this is
brown stains on the pool finish. This is metal staining, the source is usually the heater.
3. A high Calcium level may cause pool water to deposit scale even if the pH is within its recommended range.
4. Generally a level of 50 to 200ppm is recommended, with a level of 100ppm considered ideal.
Nitrates:
There should be no Nitrates in your pool water. Most often Nitrates are associated with fertilizers. A high level of Nitrates may
cause a higher than normal demand on Chlorine, often lowering the Chlorine level down to zero (0). OZONE WILL REMOVE
NITRATES FROM WATER.
NOTE: THE OZONE SYSTEM WILL PRECIPITATE ANY NITRATES, HELPING TO SOLVE THIS WATER QUALITY ISSUE
Metals:
Certain metals may either stain the pool and/or cause Chlorine levels to lower. If testing shows a presence of metals in your pool
consult a pool professional for methods of removal. OZONE WILL REMOVE METALS FROM WATER

CYANURIC ACID – CHLORINE STABILIZER
The sun’s ultraviolet light breaks down the Chlorine in your pool’s water within
approximately 2 hours, and therefore the pool’s water content requires, particularly in sunny climates, the use of Chlorine stabilizers.
The Prozone Ozonating/Salt Generator System has been developed as such a stabilizer, and is sized to be used in accordance with
your pool systems directions.
Either a Cyanuric acid system, or the Prozone Operating/Salt Generating system, when used in the pool water to achieve levels of
between 50 to 80ppm, will effectively reduce the breakdown of Chlorine by UV light.
Note: High stabilizer levels may in fact be detrimental and hinder the rate of the Chlorine to perform, as well as reduce the overall
life of the Cell.
SAFETY
Note: When the Pump system is shut down you must also shut down the Salt Generator System. Do not operate the Salt
Generator without a flow of water through the system.
Your Prozone Ozonator/Salt Generator System must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and
Figures/Diagrams provided in this manual.
To have both your Pump system, and the Ozonating/Salt Generator System, operate together as a unit you should wire the two
systems together.
The Salt Generator Cell besides producing Chlorine, also produces a small mixture of other gases, primarily Hydrogen. Hydrogen
is readily dissolved in the water passing through the Cell, and is harmlessly dissipated into the atmosphere when it passes through the
pool’s filtration system.
A vertical orientation, as noted in the instructions, is essential in operating the Salt Generator Cell.
Use only the cord provided with the Ozonator/Salt Generator System to power up the Cell.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. The Prozone Ozonating/Salt Generator System must be installed in a vertical position (Fig.A1), preferably on a flat surface,
with the power cords coming out from the bottom of the unit and the control switch at the top of the unit.
2. Water must flow into the Cell from the bottom and exit from the top.
3. The Cell should be installed as the by-pass system shown in Fig. A-1, after pump (ie: after the pump, before filter). The by-
pass hoses to the Cell should be connected to the pool water supply return line by a saddle clamp and injector assembly as shown
in Diagram A1. Ensure that the Ozonator hose contains one loop as shown in Fig. A-1.
POWER PACK – INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. The Prozone Ozonator/Salt Generating system is supplied with mounting brackets. When the system is properly mounted the
bottom bracket of the Electronics box has a mounting hole that will hold the Cell vertically upright (Fig. A-4 and Fig. A-7). A
separate ‘L’ bracket is provided to properly hold the upper portion of the Cell. Assure that water hoses are installed after the
brackets.
