IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Follow All Safety Instructions
Read and be familiar with this manual before installing or operating your new Hydroxzone
ozone generator.
• Voltage must be determined before unit is installed.
• Do not bury cord.
• Connect only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• The equipment must be installed outdoor, but must be undercover to avoid exposure to rain
• The mounting position - The unit must be mounted in a horizontal position. See installation
guide for photo of position (Figure 2.1)
• Install at least 1.5m from the inside wall of the pool using non-metallic plumbing. The ozone
generator is to be located 600mm above the maximum water level to prevent water from
contacting electrical equipment. Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical
components.
• Wear safety glasses when drilling and tapping holes for installation of unit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• Disconnect all power to pool equipment prior to installation, maintenance, or
removal of the Hydroxzone ozone Generator.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, re, or injury, service should only be performed
by a qualied pool service professional.
• Installation must be performed in accordance with the National Electric Code
and any applicable local or state installation codes.
NOTE: The instructions in this document provide general installation guides.
Consult your dealer for specic installation instructions. Check system for any
visible shipping damage. If damage has occurred, contact the delivery company
and your dealer immediately. Before beginning installation, please verify that all
listed parts are on hand.

1. HYDROXZONE OZONE GENERATOR
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO OZONE
The Hydroxzone ozone generator system produces ozone when air is drawn across a special
high-energy vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp, converting some air to ozone and hydroxyl radicals.
A Dynamic Venturi is inserted on the return line, by-passing through a venturi, which creates
suction that draws the ozone/hydroxyl radicals into the water ow, mixing the bubbles as the
water returns to the pool.
It is operated automatically by connecting the Hydroxzone ozone generator system directly
to the circulation pump or plugging into a timer. A check valve is employed to prevent water
owing up to the ozone generator, in the event of system failure.
Although ozone is mainly thought of as a sanitiser, it acts primarily as an oxidiser in the pool
environment. In a typical chlorinated pool, up to 90 percent of the pool’s chlorine may be used
up in reactions unrelated to disinfection. The by-products of these reactions are combined
chlorines. Combined chlorine is the cause of eye irritation, odour and the other unpleasant side
effects of chlorination. When the ozone/hydroxyl radical is used, they oxidize a large portion of
the contaminants, which results in the formation of combined chlorine. The result is that more
chlorine is available for disinfection and less chlorine is required to maintain the pool. Ozone
provides some disinfection, but ozone residual cannot be established, so the use of bromine
primary sanitiser [chlorine, bromine, hydrogen peroxide] is always recommended.
