Trouble Shooting & Repair
Knowledge of electrical applications is required for trouble shooting. Contact a certified electrician
if you are unsure of your ability to service the equipment. Improper servicing will void the ozonator
warranty. If any condition persists, call UltraPure at 877 281 7603 for further technical assistance.
PUMP IS OVERLY NOISY OR LOOSES PRIME WHILE RUNNING:
Note:
A small amount of noise can be expected since air is being drawn into the pump and works
its way through the filter and pipes. Problems are solved by using one or more of the fol-
lowing alternatives; moving the injection point “up stream“ from the pump; and/or reduc-
ing the airflow; and/or increasing the water flow.
Plug the 3/8”tubing (unit end) with the pump running and check for a suction side plumbing leak.
Install the suction side injection point in the plumbing upstream before the pump.
Reduce air draw by either turning the Dial Flowmeter (on equipped models) clockwise or adding
more Threaded Rod into the tubing.
AIR “BLOW BACK” THROUGH THE SKIMMER LINE(S):
Note:
An air build up in the filter will cause this. When the pump shuts off, air expands and seeks
“the path of least resistance” to escape. This path is usually through the skimmer line. This
problem is solved by completely removing air from the filter while the pump is running, or by
stopping air from backing up through the suction (skimmer) line(s).
Extend or install the internal air bleed line inside the filter. By ensuring this internal air bleed line is
as close to the top of the filter as possible, air readily escapes as the pump runs.
Where the External Safety Air Bleed Kit (ESABK) is installed, ensure that it is actually releasing the
air being introduced into the filter. The pressure gauge port or the manual air bleed port will work
well on most filters. In some instances, the air bleed(s) inside the filter must be drilled out larger. To
check that our ESABK is letting air out of the filter shut off the pump; disconnect the black tubing at
the filter; hold your thumb over the tubing end (to close it off); start the pump and see that air (and
some water) is coming out of the compression fitting at the tee. Once you have a good air bleed,
shut off the pump and reconnect the tubing.
PUMP LOSES PRIME OR HAS TROUBLE “CATCHING PRIME”
AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF:
Note:
This problem is limited to retrofit installations. It is caused by either a suction side air leak;
a filter (multi-port) air leak; or air in the filter partially blowing back past the pump. In any
case, the pump has an “air lock”.
Install a 2 lb. or 1 lb. water line check valve just below (on the suction side) of the pump.
Repair or replace the multi port valve gasket.
To help diagnose a plumbing air leak problem, plug the “unit end” of the black tubing to
see if the problem ceases.
Where the pump has a “lift” more that 3 to 4 feet, order a stronger (than 1
1
/
2
lb.) spring
loaded check valve from UltraPure Water Quality Inc. A 3 lb. or 6 lb. spring loaded check
valve may be required.
