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
Chlorine
1.0 to 2.0 PPM and pH 7.2 to 7.6
Total Alkalinity
100 to 150 PPM
Calcium Hardness
200 to 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 the poolside once a week is also effective.
Additionally, using an algaecide is effective.
Shock Treatment
If an unusually high bather load causes cloudiness in the water, it is recommended that
a chlorine shock treatment be used to assist the ozone in cleaning the water. Routine,
periodic shocking is recommended to prevent buildup of organic contaminants, especially
with indoor pools.
