SAFETY INFORMATION
CHAPTER 2
SAFETY WARNINGS
Two aspects of ClearWater Tech ozone generators represent potential dangers – ozone gas and high voltage electricity.
OZONE GAS -
WARNING: HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF OZONE GAS ARE DANGEROUS
TO HUMANS. LOW CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE
EYES, THROAT AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
This ClearWater Tech corona discharge ozone
generator is designed to operate under a pressure
condition. While safety precautions have been taken,
entering the equipment area should be avoided if ozone
gas is detected. Ozone has a very distinctive odor and is
detectable at very low concentrations (0.02 ppm), which
is far below OSHA’s maximum permissible exposure
level of 0.1 ppm.
HIGH VOLTAGE -
WARNING: CLEARWATER TECH OZONE GENERATORS OPERATE
AT HIGH VOLTAGE. DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR DELIBERATELY
BYPASS THE COVER OR SAFETY SWITCHES BUILT INTO THE
OZONE GENERATOR UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THIS
MANUAL. IF CONTACT IS MADE WITH OPERATING HIGH VOLTAGE
COMPONENTS, ELECTRIC SHOCK WILL OCCUR.
ClearWater Tech corona discharge ozone generators take line voltage and convert it to 48 VDC. A high voltage
transformer then boosts the voltage. While each ozone generator has a door switch and other safety interlocks, proper care
must be used by a qualified electrician when making any internal adjustments or performing any maintenance procedures.
