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.
HIGH VOLTAGE
- WARNING: CLEARWATER TECH OZONE GENERATORS OPERATE
AT HIGH VOLTAGES. DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR DELIBERATELY
BYPASS THE DOOR 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
ClearWater Tech corona discharge ozone generators take line voltage and convert it to 48 VDC. A transformer then
takes that current and 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.
ClearWater Tech corona discharge ozone generators
are designed to operate under a vacuum condition.
While this would normally prevent ozone gas from
escaping into the atmosphere, entering the equip-
ment 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.
