IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Follow All Instructions
• Read this manual completely before attempting installation.
• All permanent electrical connections should be made by a qualied electrician.
• For cord and plug-connected units, connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only. If the Total Eclipse™ electrical connection
is to be attached to the pool controls, be sure the pool controls are protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.). If the
Total Eclipse™ is connected to an independent electrical supply, then a G.F.C.I. must be installed between the Total Eclipse™ and the
electrical supply.
• Do not bury cord.
• Warning - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
• A pressure wire connector is provided on the outside of the unit to permit connection to a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid bonding conductor between this point and any grounded metal equipment, grounded metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal
water pipes, or conduit within ve (5) feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from wall of pool water using nonmetallic tubing. It is highly recommended that the ozone generator be installed at least one (1) foot above the water level to prevent water from contacting electrical equipment. Install in accordance
with the installation instructions.
• Follow all applicable electrical codes.
• Electric shock hazard. Be sure to turn power OFF and disconnect from power source before any service work is performed. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or death.
• The Total Eclipse™ must be installed in an outdoor location, or indoors in a forced air ventilated room, and installed so that the orientation is exactly as shown in Figure 1. Install to provide water drainage of generator to protect electrical components.
• Mount the Total Eclipse™ so that it is inaccessible to anyone in the pool. Never attempt any servicing if the unit is wet.
• Plastic ozone supply tubing is inside the Total Eclipse™. Never replace this tubing with metal tubing.
• Warning - Short-term inhalation of high concentrations of ozone and long term inhalation of low concentrations of ozone can cause
serious harmful physiological effects. DO NOT inhale ozone gas produced by this device.
• For your safety, do not store or use gasoline, chemicals or other ammable liquids or vapors near this or any other appliance.

SECTION 2 Installation & Operation
2A Installation
The most common pool and pool/spa congurations are
discussed in this manual. For additional installation options
or questions on your specic installation, please contact
DEL Ozone at 805-541-1601, extension 249.
1. The Total Eclipse must be connected to a G.F.C.I. protected
120V/240V outlet providing continuous power.
2. Mount the Total Eclipse in a clean, protected area.
a. Install the Total Eclipse at least one (1) foot above water
level, and no higher than eight feet above the pool’s
main pump.
b. In some installations, the top of the Total Eclipse cabinet
can be mounted up to 36 inches below the surface of the
water. If installed below the surface of the water, isolation valves must be provided as a safeguard in case of
prolonged loss of power where water seepage past check
valves can occur.
NOTE: Exceeding the recommended elevations may affect
the water circulation rate (i.e. Total GPM/ozone delivery).
c. Even though the Total Eclipse is designed for outdoor
use, care should be taken when choosing a mounting
location. To protect your investment, mount the Total
Eclipse where it is protected from the elements (direct
sun, rain, dirt), completely sheltered if possible while
providing adequate ventilation.
3. Install 3/4" PVC piping for circulation of pool water, as shown
in Figure 1.
a. Smaller diameter pipe will increase dynamic pressure
loss, possibly causing inefcient or faulty operation of
the unit.
b. Pipe larger than 3/4" may be used if necessary. However,
in a larger diameter pipe larger air bubbles will collect,
causing gurgling at the pool. Avoid long pipe runs.
Elbows, tees, and sharp bends in the piping should be
avoided when possible.
c. Plumbing an independent return line from the Total
Eclipse is highly recommended. Bubble formation and
gurgling may occur otherwise.
NOTE: Air bubbles in the system can be removed by installing a DEL MDV-20. Contact your local dealer or visit DEL’s
website at www.delozone.com for details.
4. For optimum ozone distribution, the ozonated water should
be returned back to the pool through a dedicated pipe in
the bottom of the pool. If it is not possible to install with
the dedicated return to the bottom of the pool, then install
the Total Eclipse as shown in Figures 2, 3, or 4 based on
the specic conguration of your system. These installation gures cover the following installation types: Figure
2–existing pools with in-oor cleaning system (ICS); Figure
3–existing pool/spa combination without in-oor cleaning
system; Figure 4–existing pool/spa combination with inoor cleaning system.
In case you are building a new pool with an ICS or a new
pool/spa combination with or without an ICS follow these
general guidelines:
a. Plumb the Water Inlet to the Total Eclipse as shown in
Figures 2, 3, and 4,
b. Plumb the Water Return out of the Total Eclipse as a
dedicated line to the bottom of the pool as shown in
Figure 1.
c. The recommended location to plumb the Total Eclipse
inlet "T" is after the lter and before the heater.
NOTE: If returned directly to the skimmer, the ozonated
water will be drawn back into the ltration system and
will not mix with the pool water as effectively. If returned
to the main return line, the line pressure (back-pressure)
could cause a loss of suction and stop ozone from being
mixed with the water, causing large bubbles to be trapped
and released into the pool
5. Ensure that the provided 5lb. check valve is installed at the
location and in the direction shown in the relevant gure.
NOTE: An installed check valve will not affect the Total Eclipse
if the check valve’s opening pressure is 1lb. or less.

Common Installation Diagrams
NOTE: The following two-dimensional diagrams are for illustration purposes only, indicating the required key components.
Plumbing orientation (i.e. depth below ground) may vary from pool to pool.
Note:
1. To help break up the bubbles at oor entry, we suggest
using a “Salt & Pepper” style tting (not included).
Figure 1: New Pool
Notes:
1. “ICS” stands for Inoor Cleaning System.
2. Even when the ICS is not operating, bubbles from the
ozone generator will escape through the ICS head.

Notes:
1. “V” stands for multiport, diverter valve.
2. The Total Eclipse will shut down when in Spa Mode
and will restart when returned to Pool Mode.
3. We suggest using an eyeball tting or reducer nozzle at
the point of entry (ie: the wall). This will help to break up the
bubbles and push them further out, preventing any
possible discoloration to the pool wall.

6. In all cases the return should be in the pool bottom or as
low as possible on the pool wall.
7. When winterizing takes place, installation of the unions as
shown in Figures 1-4 is necessary. If no winterizing will take
place, unions are still included to facilitate unit removal if
necessary.
2B Operation
Once the Total Eclipse has been properly installed, simply plug
the unit into a 120V / 240V G.F.C.I. protected outlet. Turn the
main pump on to its normal timed cycle. The Total Eclipse will
detect ow from the main pump and start automatically. The
Total Eclipse will continue running when the main pump cycles
off. If water ow is lost to the unit for any reason, the unit will
shut down to protect the internal pump. If power is lost, the
unit will shut down until power is restored to the main pump
and the Total Eclipse. Once the main pump cycles on, ow will
be restored to the Total Eclipse and it will begin running.
Indicator Lights: There are two lights, green and red, on the
front of the unit. The green light indicates when there is power
to the unit (when the unit's power cord is plugged in to an electrical outlet). The red light indicates when there is no water or
ozone ow within the unit.
NOTE: When you initially plug in the Total Eclipse the red light
will be on. As soon as ow is initiated through the unit, via
the main circulation pump, the red light will go out, indicating
that the unit is operating properly.

2C Maintenance - Refer to Figure 5
2C-1. Ozone Module Replacement: The CD Module consists
of a high voltage, high frequency power supply & ozone electrode. The ozone-producing CD Modules have a life expectancy
of 15,000 hours (approximately two years for continuous use
and ve years for seasonal use).
1. Turn off the electrical power and unplug the Total Eclipse.
2. Remove the ozone generator from its support if access is
limited.
3. Remove the cover from the ozone generator enclosure (it
is held by three (3) Philips head screws on the cover).
4. Disconnect, then remove the tubing from the electrode
plate sub-assembly.
5. Remove the relay from the right side of the electrode plate
sub-assembly.
6. Remove the electrode plate sub-assembly from the back of
the enclosure by loosening the three (3) nuts that secure it.
SECTION 3 Troubleshooting
1. The green light is on, indicating power to the unit; but the
red light is also on, and the Total Eclipse won’t run.
(1) Ensure that the 5lb. check valve is plumbed in the main
plumbing line after the tee to the water inlet of the Total
Eclipse. This creates the pressure in the plumbing to divert
the water into the Total Eclipse and prime the pump.
(2) There could be an air lock trapped in the Total Eclipse.
With the pool’s main circulation pump running, carefully
open the union in the water out line from the Total Eclipse.
As water starts to ow out of the union, quickly re-connect
it. This will drain the air lock.
2. The Total Eclipse runs with the main circulation pump,
but when the main circulation pump is turned off, the
Total Eclipse shuts down immediately or shortly after.
(1) Ensure that you still have power to the Total Eclipse
(green light is on).
(2) Ensure that your ltration equipment is working properly. The addition of a new sanitation device, like the Total
Eclipse, will destroy a great deal of contaminants in the
water and leave them to be ltered out. Therefore, you
many nd it necessary to clean your lter to un-restrict ow
to your Total Eclipse.
(3) Air is seeping into the Total Eclipse, prime is lost at the
ow switch, thus shutting down the system.
a. Inspect the pool’s plumbing for signs of leaks. Water
seeping out of a tting, when the pump is running, means
air can seap in when the pump is not running.
7. Disconnect the wires coming out of the CD Module power
supplies (black box) by pulling the wire connectors apart.
8. Reverse this procedure to install the new electrode plate
sub-assembly. Be sure the electrical & hose connections
are tight and mountings secure.
2C2. Air Filter and Check Valve Replacement: The air lter
and check valve attached to the ozone electrodes should be
replaced when replacing the ozone modules. To replace the air
lter, unscrew it from its tting and screw in the new air lter.
To replace the check valve, remove the hose clamp and tubing,
then replace the check valve and discard the old one.
2C3. Winterizing the Total Eclipse: To winterize the Total
Eclipse, unscrew the unions connecting it to the inlet and outlet
plumbing. The water will drain out of the Total Eclipse and make it
ready for winter. Once the water has drained, tighten the unions.
When restarting your pool and/or spa equipment, the Total
Eclipse will restart itself once water starts owing through it.
b. Inspect the design of the plumbing for traps where air
pockets can collect. If an air pocket makes its way to the
Total Eclipse, it will disengage the system’s ow switch,
shutting down the unit.
(4) Ensure that the Total Eclipse is plumbed as described,
using a 5lb. check valve at the juncture where the plumbing tees into the Total Eclipse, and returns from the Total
Eclipse back into the main plumbing to the pool.
3. The Total Eclipse has become clogged.
When installed as recommended, the Total Eclipse draws in
ltered water free of debris. If it does however get clogged,
unscrew the base of the expansion tting and carefully
remove the injector. It can be cleaned with vinegar or a
mild acid solution.
4. The Total Eclipse lost power during a power outage.
Once power returns to the main pool pump and the Total
Eclipse, it will restart and continue running as soon as ow
is detected from the main pool pump.
6. The Total Eclipse continues to run when the main ltration system is turned off.
The Total Eclipse is designed to run independent of the
main ltration system. When the main pump to the lter
system shuts down, the Total Eclipse will continue to run,
continuously ozonating the pool water.

7. Bubbles appear in the pool when the unit is running.
Some ne bubbles into the pool are normal. To avoid any
large bubbles being trapped and released, plumb with a
single 3/4” line independently returned to the bottom
of the pool. In addition, keep all pipe runs to the pool
straight and level using a minimum number of elbows
and ttings.
NOTE: The collection of air bubbles in the system can be
minimized by installing a DEL MDV-20.
