Filling the System
Before filling, ensure the following:

The power switch on the front of the Aclarus Ozone Enclosure must be in
the OFF position.

Fill the water column on the front of the system with regular water to prevent
water backflow into the system. Ensure clear hose on water column is half
full.

Check Serial Number plate for unit voltage and connect to appropriate power
source. Most units will require 110 V. Once plugged in, confirm that the main
power light is OFF.

If filter(s) are equipped with bypass valves, make sure they are in the
bypass position.

Close valve downstream of activated carbon filter to shut off water supply
to the existing plumbing until start up is complete.
Complete the following steps:
1. Beginning with the water supply valve, slowly open the main water
supply and/or bypass valves on Aclarus system to fill the system and
tank.
2. Turn the power switch on the front of the Aclarus head to ON. Red light
will show power on.
3. When the system is full, open part way and quickly close the ball valve
controlling the outgoing water. Open and close it 6-10 times to start
ozone circulation prior to discharge
– NOTE system will run 20-60
seconds after closing the ball valve. If it does not contact your Aclarus
Rep.
4. After priming the system, open the water supply valves fully.
5. Allow water to fill downstream cartridge filter. Once pressurized, check
installation for leaks.
6. If a pressure regulator is installed on system, set the pressure gauge to
regulate the incoming pressure at below 70 PSI.
7. Open the flush valve (if installed) on the discharge side of activated
carbon filter or the closest downstream tap of the activated carbon
system. Allow system to run for 15 minutes.
NOTE: Initial activated carbon filter flushing will cause water to look
grey or black from the activated carbon flush
.
8. Following 15 minute cartridge filter flush, allow the system to sit for 30
minutes and repeat a 15 minute flush of the cartridge filter. Follow flush
timelines provided with the cartridge filter if differs from the above.
NOTE: Aclarus Ozone Water System must be running during the filling and
flush process of the filters.
