EC–AG
Installation & Operations Manual
Generator to operate safely under vacuum.
Note: The Injector
needs to be installed after all other equipment or possible failure
may occur.
2D-1. Plumbing the Above Ground Injector Assembly
Note: Figure 2 and the instructions below describe Injector
installation immediately after the Filter. For pools equipped with a
heater, the Injector must be installed AFTER the heater. The fittings
provided may be used to connect the Injector directly to the wall of
the pool or the outlet of the heater.
a. Wrap Teflon tape on all male pipe threads.
b. Disconnect the pool’s return hose from the Filter. Keep the hose
elevated to aviod draining the pool.
c. Use either the straight or elbow fittings provided to connect the
Injector to the discharge port of the Filter. Ensure that the flow
arrow on the Injector is pointed in the direction of water flow, and
that the Ozone Port is accessible.
d. Reconnect the pool’s return hose to the outlet of the injector.
e. Attach Hose Barb Fitting to the Ozone Port on the Injector.
2D-2. Ozone Gas Line
Connect the end of the Ozone Supply Tubing that is closest to the
Check Valve to the Hose Barb Fitting on the Injector. Secure with a
supplied hose clamp. If the Ozone Generator is mounted above the
water line attach the other end of the Ozone Supply Tubing to the
ozone out fitting on the EC–AG and secure with the supplied hose
clamps.
If the Ozone Generator is mounted below the water
line, the Ozone Supply Tubing must be run to a point above the
water line. Simply coil the tubing into a complete circle about 6˝
diameter and fasten it above the water line. This will act as a water
trap to prevent water from running back to the Ozone Generator.
SECTION 3 Operation
3A. General
To achieve optimal performance from the Ozone Generator, the pool
must be as clean as possible to start with.
a. Backwash or clean filters one day before starting the Ozone
Generator.
b. Superchlorinate pool water using a chlorine based shock
treatment.
