1D How Does it Work
Description:
Your CSS 12 System produces both ozone and chlorine. The Ozone Generator produces ozone with light energy, the way the sun does. Therefore, it
is only emitting pure O3 ozone that has no harmful by-products, unlike other ozone generators that use corona technology which
produce nitrous acid compounds and other harmful byproducts. Ozone is a molecule of oxygen that is formed when three atoms of oxygen are
bound together instead of the normal two atoms. The extra oxygen atom makes ozone the most powerful, naturally occurring oxidizer and sanitizer
readily available. Pioneers of the original ozone generator cartridge, produced the first Ultraviolet Ozone Generating cartridge in 1977 for the
swimming pool and spa industry.
The O3, naturally produced ozone, generated by the CSS 12 System serves as the primary sanitizer and oxidizer, however, a small residual of free
available chlorine is required at all times to control algae growth and provide a residual sanitizer requirement.
The CSS 12 System provides the necessary chlorine residual for your pool. A measured amount of pool salt is dissolved in the pool water. The
Chlorine is made by passing a very low voltage electric current through the salt water as it flows through the Cell and back in to the pool.
The CSS 12 System (Advanced Oxidation Processor™) produces and combines ozone and chlorine. These super oxide compounds, even stronger
oxidizers than ozone or chlorine alone, are injected in to the pool water through a patented Venturi Bypass Installation process.
While the initial costs of the system may seem sizable, the savings begin immediately. Using your CSS 12, you will eliminate almost all chlorine
purchases. You will produce chlorine in your own backyard for pennies a gallon. In addition to the cost savings, you have eliminated the need to
transport and store potent chlorine oxidizers and sanitizers. In most parts of the country, the costs are recovered in three to four seasons.

CSS 12 Mounting Instructions
Your CSS 12 can be mounted outside near the pump and filter, or inside a pool equipment house or basement
C S S 1 2
·
There is a mounting bracket at the top of the Control Box.
·
Use appropriate mounting screws and hardware (not included) for the type of material you will be mounting to,
·
(brick, siding, concrete, etc.).
Make sure the Control Box is mounted in the vertical position, level, with no obstruction of airflow.
·
Control Box should be at least 4 feet above ground, preferably higher than filter.
·
Electrical System Connection
Your CSS 12 is a universal voltage system. It is preferable that this unit be wired so that it comes on when your
·
circulation pump is running and off when pump is off.
Your CSS 12 unit comes completely assembled, with the chlorine and ozone generators connected.
(Must be installed by a qualified electrician)
·
Grounding/bonding lug
The grounding/bonding lug on the bottom of the unit MUST be connected using
a 6AWG solid copper conductor (not included) to the equipotential bonding grid
(common ground point) of the swimming pool, along with any/all other pool
equipment. Generally, this equipotential bonding grid can be the structural
reinforcing steel of a concrete pool, the wall of a bolted/welded metal pool, or
similar assembly. It is highly recommended to install a sacrificial anode, somewhere
in the pool, (usually attached to the ladder).
New Pool Installation
Do not add salt to the pool for at least 2 weeks, allow your pool surface to completely cure and harden.
·
You may turn on your Control Box and allow water to flow through the cell, (This will not damage the cell).
·
Run your CSS 12 while the pump is running so your new Ozone System can oxidize and purify your pool water.
·
It may be necessary to add chlorine to pool water during this process. After pool surface is completely cured,
·
refer to manual and add appropriate amount of salt.

3.0 Air Flow Setup
Your CSS 12 System comes supplied with a 0-10 SCFH air flow meter. This meter is used to properly setup the CSS system to guarantee sufficient air and
water flow through the bypass. To test your system for air flow, verify CSS 12 is turned off. Turn pool pump on. Disconnect 1/4” hose from Injector port # 1.
Injector is located on top of chlorine cell on the right side of the control unit. Connect the 1/4” hose, on the air flow meter, to injector port # 1. Holding meter
in a vertical position, you should get a reading between 2 SCFH and 10 SCFH. If flow is lower then 2 SCFH, a ball valve will need to be installed in the
plumbing as shown in alternative installation methods on page 10. This may require moving bypass entrance and exit locations. If a ball valve is added to the
system, it will need to be adjusted to maintain the required air flow. This is done by first starting with the ball valve in the fully open position. With the air flow
meter attached to injector port # 1, slowly close ball valve until the meter reads 2 SCFH to 10 SCFH, (5 SCFH is the best air flow). Never turn the ball valve
more that half-way closed. The air flow should never be greater that 10 SCFH. Once air flow is set as required, remove 1/4” meter hose from injector and
reconnect 1/4” system hose to injector port # 1. System can be operated at this point but will not generate chlorine until proper amount of salt is added to the pool.
3.1 Water Testing
Establishing Water Balance
While the CSS 12 systems are designed to reduce the amount of chemical care — it does not eliminate the need for water balance!
Understanding how the unit fits into overall pool care is extremely important. Before starting your new sanitation system, you will need to take a water sample
to your local pool dealer for a full analysis. There are two stages to clean, clear, safe water.
1. Backyard Testing: Your pool water should be checked one to two times per week for pH, Chlorine, and salinity (salt).
c. Salinity should be between 2500 ppm and 3000 ppm. Levels that are too low will result in inadequate chlorine production. Levels that are
Professional Testing: A water sample needs to be brought to your Professional Pool dealer once a month to have the overall water balance checked.
∆ WARNING: Failing to properly balance your water may result in damage to the CSS 12 unit as well as the pool surface and equipment. Bathers
will experience discomfort. Note: This and all related product warranties do not cover failure or damage caused by improper poor water balance.
3.2 Preparing Your Pool
Test and balance the pool water. Pool water must be at the proper salinity level, and chemically balanced before operating the CSS 12. Refer to Table on
page 6 for required levels. Pool should be balanced in this order:
1)BalancepHto7.2-7.6
2)ShockpoolwithChlorineto20PPM
3)Brushpool
4)Vacuumandbackflushtodump
5)Addrequiredsalt
6)Wait4hoursforpooltoequalize
7)BalancepH
8)Runcirculation/CSSsystemfor48hoursandcheckchemicallevels
9)CheckFilter
3.3 Adding Salt
Test the salt level of your pool before calculating the salt requirement, particularly if a salt chlorine generator has been used, or sodium chloride has been
previously added to the pool water. It is best to use an electronic measuring device rather than test strips for accurate measurement. If pool has excessive
salt or salt is not properly mixed, system may eventually shut down and must be re-started by turning power switch off and on again. Salt should be
thoroughly dissolved before turning system on. When adding salt after pool has had initial bank, it is best to dissolve salt prior to adding it to the pool.
Salt should be added per the following formula to meet concentration requirements, providing the pool water has not already had any salt added to it.
21 pounds of salt for every 1,000 gallons of pool water
Pool size in gallons can be determined from the following formulas:
• Rectangular – Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 (for gallons) or x 1000 for liters.
• Round – Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9 (for gallons) or x 785 for liters.
• Oval – Length x Width x Average Depth x 6.7 (for gallons) or x 893 for liters.
12
Section 3 Pool Preparation
3.4 Balance Pool Chemicals
◊ Add Cyanuric acid (chlorine stabilizer) at the same time you add salt. Cyanuric acid helps maintain chlorine levels and it is
required to maintain chlorine levels during hot weather. A pH buffer can also be added at this time. The appropriated
concentration of Cyanuric acid is from 30 to 70 ppm.
◊ Before turning on the CSS 12, add Chlorine Shock to pool to reach 20 ppm for initial start up.
Run the pool pump and Chlorine Generator for a minimum of 12 hours a day. The actual run time will be affected by the
chlorine demand from the environment or bathers.
◊ The initial set up percentage of chlorine should be set at 50% for the first 3 to 5 days. Test and adjust the chlorine percentage
until the chlorine requirement stabilizes and maintains 0.5 to 1.5 ppm of free chlorine.
◊ If the CSS 12 is being installed on a new plaster pool, do not add salt for 2 to 3 weeks after pool has been filled to help
protect plaster, and to allow time for the plaster to cure. Follow your pool builder’s suggestions on cure time allowance.
You may run your new CSS 12 system without salt in the pool. It will not harm the system, but will not generate chlorine until salt has been added.
The patented Venturi Bypass Installation allows Ozone to flow in to the pool water. Ozone helps in the hardening process for plaster and gunite pools.
C S S 1 2
3.5 Pool Circulation
In order for your system to produce chlorine and effectively inject ozone in to the water, the circulation system must operate at optimum levels. Poor
water flow, or short operating cycles will hamper the ability of the CSS 12 to work properly. Below are some of the guidelines for system operation:
The pool circulation/CSS system should operate a minimum of 12 hours per day. Running the system during daylight hours is best. Minimum of
·
8 hours continuously during the day; 4 more hours at night.
The filter should be cleaned or backwashed as described in the equipment manufacturer’s manual. Filters that become clogged with debris will
·
not allow proper water flow and may damage pool equipment including the CSS 12 chlorine generator.
Skimmer and Pump baskets MUST be emptied regularly to keep the circulation system operating and prevent blockage.
·
Debris should be removed quickly from the pool to prevent chlorine demand situations.
·
Periodic brushing of pool surfaces prevents algae from growing and diminishing the ef fectiveness of the pools filtration and sanitation systems.
·
3.6 Pool Preparation Warnings
∆ WARNING: Do not use Copper or Bromine based algaecide products in your pool when the CSS 12 is installed
∆ WARNING: Always disconnect automatic pool cleaners before adding salt. Salt must be completely dissolved before
turning on the pool cleaner.
∆ WARNING: Baquacil (Biguanide) pools must be drained and refilled with fresh water prior to using the CSS 12.
∆ WARNING: Use swimming pool grade salt ONLY (low mineral content sodium chloride)
∆ WARNING: Do not attempt to add salt via the skimmer, this could damage the filter and pump.

Section 4 Operation
C S S 1 2
4.1 System Operation
The recommended run time to generate adequate amounts of chlorine is 12 hours per day. 8 hours continuously during the day; 4 more hours at night.
Increased run times are recommended for highly loaded pools. The system will generate chlorine and ozone ONLY when the pool pump is running.
After break point chlorination and as chlorine levels off at 1 ppm, run system for 48 hours or until the chlorine level stabilizes at 1 ppm. Since your CSS
system also generates ozone, (the primary sanitizer/oxidizer), 0.5 free chlorine is all that is necessary when running the unit for 12 hours per day.
The CSS System is designed to produce a low level of chlorine that ensures the pool has adequate disinfection. This quantity of chlorine can be
as much as 90 percent less than what is required in a chlorine-only pool with no ozonator.
Normal test kits measure chlorine residual (combined chlorine, which is chlorine combined with bather load). Since ozone will normally keep bather
load at very low levels, combined chlorines will be at very low levels, making detection difficult. For water testing, DPD liquid test kits work the best, as
opposed to test strips. To get an accurate chlorine reading, a water sample should be taken to your pool/spa dealer for testing (test strips will not be
accurate enough for this). Water should be tested every week to maintain maximum water quality and enjoyment.
Salt chlorine generators may naturally increase the pH of the spa. Monitor pH regularly and adjust if it is not between 7.2 and 7.6.
NOTE: The pH value is a very important factor for ensuring maximum chlorine readings. As pH increases above 8.0, chlorine readings will decrease
rapidly. pH MUST be kept between 7.2 and 7.6. Test weekly!
Water with high calcium levels will result in scaling of the Chlorine Generator Cell plates (high pH will worsen the effect of high calcium).
Break-point chlorination is required periodically (normally about every 30-60 days) using dichloride. DO NOT use non-chlorine shock or calcium hypo-chloride.
Lightly shocking the pool is not necessary, and not recommended.
Salt level should be checked weekly, using an electronic meter, by taking a water sample to your pool/spa dealer and maintained between 2,500 ppm
and 3,000 ppm.. Salt should be pre-dissolved prior to adding to the pool and system should be turned off. Brush pool thoroughly before restarting system.
If salt level is higher then 3,300 ppm, drain pool a few inches and replenish with fresh water until proper level is reached.
Brush pool thoroughly at least once a week.
Chlorine Generator Cell should be checked periodically for blockages or obstructions and cleaned as necessary.
4.2 Chlorine Adjustment
Adjust chlorine output dial as needed to maintain chlorine level between
0.5 ppm and 1.5 ppm. Higher bather load and/or elevated ambient temperature
may require chlorine output to be increased.

Section 5 Chlorine Cell Function & Maintenance
5.1 Cell Maintenance
Inspect the Cell plates at least once a week to ensure that they are clear of foreign matter and other debris.
NOTE: A filtration problem exists (contaminated water is by-passing the filter) if debris is found to have built up around the electrodes and
plates of the Cell and should immediately be corrected.
5.2 Calcium Deposits
If calcium deposits form on the electrodes and plates, it may be caused by one of the following:
a) Low Water Flow through the Cell – Check the hoses and the injector for blockage of water flow, and/or kinking.
b) Poor water Quality - High calcium content, High pH levels, clean cells (see below).
c) Aged Cell – After 3-5 years loss of plate coatings may decrease the effectiveness of the self-cleaning process. Replace cell.
5.3 Cleaning the Chlorine Generator Cell

Low Chlorine In Pool
No Chlorine Output from Cell
High Chlorine In Pool
X Low Salt Test salt levels, add salt if required
X X Chlorine Generator Cell Dirty Visually check cell, refer to manual for cleaning procedures
X Poor Water Flow Filter dirty / Bypass obstruction / Leaves in basket
X System Operation Time Too Short Increase running time for pump and CSS unit
X pH Range Too High Add acid (hydrochloric or dry acid) refer to manual
X Low Chlorine Stabilizer Refer to manual, consult local pool professional
Possible Cause Possible Remedy
C S S 1 2
X Chlorine Output % Set Too Low Refer to manual for proper setting to get maximum chlorine output
X Pool Filter Dirty Refer to Filter owners manual for proper cleaning procedures
X X Pool Water Circulation Inadequate Increase run time for pool pump, refer to pump manual
X X Pump Problems Refer to pump owners manual
X X Excessive Air In Chlorine Generator Cell Check flow through Bypass
X X Unit Not Turned On At bottom of unit, switch toggle to “On” position
X High Salt Dump pool water to skimmer, add fresh water / Retest salt levels
If pool has excessive salt or if salt is not properly mixed, system may eventually shut down and must be restarted by turning off the power swtich,
(located on the bottom of the unit), and turning it back on again.
If system shuts down due to excessive salt, a water sample should be taken to your pool/spa dealer for an accurate, (electronic), salt reading.
Once salt level exceeds 3,000 ppm, the CSS system automatically lowers power, therefore chlorine production.
If salt exceeds 4,000 ppm, system may shut down and will require a power restart. Dilute pool water to adjust.
If power indicator light does not come on when system is powered up:
Verify system switch is in the “On” position.
Check for water flow through the bypass, ensuring there are no kinks in the hoses.
Verify ozone optic indicator light is on.
If chlorine reading is low or non-existent:
Check for debris in cell.
Run system longer
Reset power switch
Perform “bucket test” to verify chlorine cell is working, by first turning off pool pump. Disconnect 3/4” hose from bypass exit. Screw supplied cap onto
exit point fitting. Turn pool pump on and fill a 5-gallon bucket with the water coming out of the 3/4” bypass hose. Turn pump off. Take a sample of the
water in the bucket. Dilute 10:1 with distilled water and test. Perform this test twice, once with the chlorine dial at 100% and again with the chlorine dial
at 20%. Remove cap and reconnect 3/4” hose to bypass exit point fitting before restarting pool pump.
If you still get no chlorine reading, contact a Prozone customer representative.
