tips and installation instructions
Ozone's practical
use as a water purifier was discovered in the late 1800's in the Netherlands.
Its first large-scale use was the installation of an ozone purification
plant for the city of Nice, France in 1906. Today, more than thirty countries
use ozone systems to purify drinking water. In fact, the city of Los Angeles
has installed one of the largest ozone water treatment plants in the world,
processing more than 74 millions gallons of water per day.
Ozone is a very effective
natural water purifier that is lethal to bacteria, viruses, and contaminants
without harming people and equipment. There are just a few Rules of Thumb
that you should follow. Take the time to learn these simples rules and
you will have no trouble maintaining a clear, clean spa that will provide
you years of enjoyment.
Always maintain the
following spa water operating parameters when using ozone.
pH:
7.2 to 7.8
Total alkalinity: 80 to 120 PPM
Chlorine: 1.0 PPM (optional)
Bromine: 2.0 PPM (optional)
Weekly: add a non-chlorine shock
Operate your spa for
the minimum time according to the following chart. For best results, and
to minimize chlorine or bromine use, you may operate your spa in the low-speed
mode 24 hours per day (recommended). (Top)

FINAL NOTE: Ozone
is introduced into the water via the low speed (filter) mode. It is recommended
that it runs on a 24 hour cycle, although, it can operate on the timer
mode as well. You may have to keep a chlorine or bromine reserve when
operating in this mode. The 24 hour cycle mode will not only cut back
your chlorine or bromine use, but may replace it all together. It is still
recommended you use a non-chlorine shock once a week, or whenever there
is heavy bather use.
