a definite “clarity and sparkle” that you may not have experienced before. In addition, after
the ozone does its work, it reverts back to oxygen. This added oxygen will make the water
look, feel and even taste better.
How should I prepare my pool or installation of the ozonator?
• Backwash pool
• Adjust alkalinity with hydrochloric acid or sodium bicarbonate 80-100ppm
• Adjust pH 7.2 to 7.8 (HCL acid to lower and sodium bicarbonate to increase)
• Shock treat with hydrogen peroxide 35% (100mL/1000 Liters pool water)
• Ozone is used as primary sanitizer and sodium bromide as secondary or residual
sanitizer
• Sodium bromide should test between 1-2 ppm (dosage: 20g per 1000 liters of water
every 6 months)
What special maintenance will the swimming pool require?
• Shock treat with hydrogen peroxide
• Maintain total alkalinity with hydrochloric acid or sodium bicarbonate 80-100ppm
• Maintain pH 7.2 to 7.8 (HCL acid to lower and sodium bicarbonate to increase)
• Shock treat with hydrogen peroxide 35% (100mL/1000 Liters pool water)
• Keep pool clear of leaves and debris
• Check and clean basket daily. Backwash regularly.
• Use Algaecide if required—consult supplier for ozone compatible type
What special maintenance does the SP unit require?
• Check non-return valve for signs of water returning into the tube to the ozone generator
– replace if necessary.
• Check the silicone tube for deterioration – replace if necessary.
• Check the unit for internal air filter for blockage.
• Check that small, fine bubbles are coming from pool return jet.
• Make sure no debris or dirt is blocking fan guards.
• Use the fingertip test on the air inlet port to the ozone generator to check that suction is
still present and venturi injector is working correctly.
How do I know if there is enough ozone for proper sanitation?
This can be a difficult question to answer. Experts have not been able to develop minimum
