I. Balancing the Pools Water
Pool Water Chemistry
To achieve optimal performance from the
OzoneMAX
system, it is recommended the following be
performed prior to initial start-up:
• BACKWASH or clean filter
• Test and adjust water chemical balance to recommendations in the chart below
pH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.2 - 7.6
Total Alkalinity (TA) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness (CH) . . . . . . . . . . . . 150 - 350 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). . . . . . . . 300 - 2000 ppm
Copper Ion Levels . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.15 - 0.20 ppm
J. Periodic Inspection
The amazing thing you will notice about the
OzoneMAX
system is the clarity of the water, especially if
you are using the
MineralPURE
ionization system in conjunction with it.
You might initially notice the water getting cloudy the first couple of days.
DO NOT BE ALARMED.
THIS IS NORMAL!
You will want to clean or backwash your filter after the first week.
Visual Inspection
You will want to periodically inspect the power box in the evening to ensure the
unit is functioned correctly. Turn the system on temporarily, if needed. The
indicator light, located next to the output connector will glow a nice blue color.
The ozone unit should only be on when the pump is running.
To insure that the venturi injector and bypass are working correctly, simply
observe to see if small bubbles are entering the pool and the “frothing” effect is
taking place in the clear window of the venturi manifold window.

H. Starting the System / Setting the Ball Valve
(continued)
Adjust the ball valve back until no bubbles and readjust until bubbles just appear and leave the ball
valve set at this “setting”. This bubble/no bubble adjustment can be as sensitive as 1/16” to ¼”
rotation after rough audible or visual adjustment is made. It is recommended to mark this location
with a marker in case the ball valve is accidently changed.
NEVER LEAVE THE BALL VALVE CLOSED EXCEPT FOR
THIS INITIAL ALIGNMENT STAGE. VERY IMPORTANT.
Adjust valve to proper setting
to obtain the “frothing” effect.
