OZONE & OZONE GENERATORS
If your spa is equipped with an ozonator, you will have to set the spa to filter for at least 6 hours per
day, preferably in 2 or 3 time periods. Please note that ozonators and chemical treatment are com-
plimentary. Ozonators cannot totally eliminate the need of chemicals such as chlorine or bromine.
Ozone is a bactericide. The active component in an ozonator is the ultraviolet light bulb. When
power is applied to the bulb, ozone is generated. A tube links the ozone compartment with one or
multiple jets. When the these jets are activated, water movement within the jet creates a venturi
action that draws the ozone out of the ozone compartment and mixes it with the moving water,
purifying it in the process.
The light bulb has a limited service life. Its production of ozone is degraded with use. Consult the
manual of the ozonators manufacturer to determine when the bulb should be replaced.
Ozone is harmful. Do not inhale ozone for an extended period of time. Ultraviolet rays are harmful
to human eyesight. Do not look directly at a burning ozone bulb.

ment.
Every 2 months, more often with heavy use, filter must be cleaned to get rid of objects and particles
that are lodged in the filter pleats. Using a garden hose with a pressurized nozzle, push water from
the inside to the outside of the filter pleats, forcing all trapped particles out. If the filter is far too
dirty to be cleaned as described above, obtain filter cleaner material from your dealer. Soak the filter
