is not operating. Bromine needs to be maintained at only 1.0 PPM (parts per million) so that the

trace amount of the product in the water will not be noticed. Chlorine will also work as a

residual oxidizer and may be used effectively in conjunction with the ozone system.

Ozone and Chlorine

For outdoor pools, we recommend the use of chlorine to supplement the ozone. Chlorine

residual will act as a buffer when the ozone system is not operating. Chlorine needs to be

maintained at 1.0 to 2.0 PPM (parts per million).

Water Preparation

To properly prepare the water for the ozone system, make the following adjustments and

maintain the levels outlined below:

Bromine 1.0 PPM or Chlorine 1.0 to 2.0 PPM and pH 7.2 -7.6

Total Alkalinity 100-150 PPM

Calcium Hardness 200-350 PPM

Note:

If

any unusual reactions are experienced when ozone is introduced into the water (such as

abnormal color or odor), please wait a few days to give the ozone and filter system time to

work.

Algae

Always maintain the recommended residual levels of bromine or chlorine (at least 1 .0 PPM) to

help control algae formation. Brushing poolside once a week is also effective, as is any algaecide.

Shock Treatment

If an unusually high bather load causes cloudiness in the water, it is recommended that a

chlorine shock treatment used to assist the ozone in cleaning the water. Routine, periodic

shocking is recommended to prevent buildup of organic contaminants, especially with indoor

pools.

MAINTENANCE - OZONE GENERATOR

Clean the ozone generator cabinet’s air filter:

This filter must be cleaned regularly. Depending on the location of the unit, it may be necessary

to clean the air filter monthly. The filter elements are located on the bottom of the cabinet (see

illustration below). This is the air intake element for the cooling fan and may therefore require

the most frequent cleaning. The element may be cleaned with soap and water and should be

dried completely before reinstalling.

Note: In a clean environment, this procedure may only need to be performed every three

months.

IMPORTANT: CLEAN THIS FILTER REGULARLY! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PROMOTE OVERHEATING AND

WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
