1. Clean filter and pump basket before setting airflow.
2. Turn the knob on the needle valve/flow meter clockwise to close
valve completely.
3. Turn the power on to the pump.
4. Turn the knob on the needle valve/flow meter counter clockwise
until the ball reads in the middle of the two lines on the flow meter.
(Fig. 19)
Note: From time to time condensation may collect in the flow meter,
especially in moist climates or following a rain storm. The
moisture may cause the orange ball to become stuck. The
flow meter is not broken. The water will eventually dry up and
the ball will begin to float again. To check draw to the pump
look for air bubbles entering the pump pot.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE FLOW METER:
1. IF THE PUMP THAT THE CLEAR 03 UNIT IS INSTALLED ON IS A PUMP RUNNING A PARAMOUNT
IN-FLOOR SYSTEM, lock the water valve on pause (the pause control is located on top of the Paramount
water valve) when the valve is switching ports and therefore at it’s maximum flow. Set the flow meter so the
ball is on the upper line of the “normal” range.
2. WHEN USING MULTIPLE SPEED PUMPS, SET THE FLOW METER WITH THE PUMP RUNNING ON
THE HIGHEST SPEED THAT WILL BE USED.
3. The Clear O3 flow meter is very sensitive and the red ball may drop down below the ‘normal’ marker after it
has been set. If this happens on your unit, please be aware that this is normal. The flow meter will still deliver
the proper amount of ozone as long as the blue light is on. You do not need to reset the flow meter until after
you clean your filter.
SETTING AIR FLOW
EXTERNAL SAFETY AIR BLEED KIT INSTRUCTIONS
(OPTIONAL)
Sometimes the internal air bleed on the filter is not
sufficient to handle the extra air in the system with an
ozonator installed. An External Safety Air Bleed Kit
(006-402-3872-00) (Fig. 20) for in-ground swimming
pools is available to remove excess air from the filter and
send it downstream (up to 15’) past all equipment. After
installing always test per instructions that air is vented
from the filter when the pump is running. You must install
an external air bleed if the filter is old, does not have an
internal air bleed, there is a solar system on the pool or
there is a robotic pressure side cleaner.
