OZONE SOLUTIONS
SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Observe strict
operating procedures while using ozone equipment.
It is imperative that only ozone compatible materials
are used in conjunction with the ozone system.
NOTE: If the operator has asthma, he or she must
not enter an airspace that has a significant ozone
concentration. Ozone can induce an asthma attack.
Ensure that the Ozone Generator is in a well-ventilated
area. Do not allow rain or condensation to contact the
Ozone Generator. The Ozone Generator is not weather
proof. The unit must be operated indoors or in an
enclosure in a non-condensing environment.
Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the
following important safety information concerning the
Ozone Generator:
1. Ozone is an extremely aggressive and powerful
oxidizer. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) 8 hour exposure limit is
0.10 PPM. The OSHA 15 minute exposure limit for
ozone is 0.3 PPM. Above 0.3 PPM, there is the risk
of damage to respiratory tissues.
2. People who have no sense of smell should not
operate this equipment.
3. Never attempt to verify ozone production by directly
breathing or smelling the ozone outlet.
4. The Ozone Generator contains high voltages.
Unauthorized entry can result in serious injury or
death. For service instructions, contact Ozone
Solutions.
5. Make sure all connections are secure and are
not leaking. Failure to do so could result in the
discharge of ozone into an undesired space.
Do not attempt to modify or enhance the performance
of the Generator in any way.

INTRODUCTION
This ozone generator produces ozone gas from
atmospheric air. Oxygen is very unstable in its tri-
atomic form (ozone) and naturally attaches to most
organic chemical contaminants, mold spores, odors,
etc., leaving them oxidized and broken down
molecularly. This reaction sanitizes the surfaces it
comes in contact with.

THEORY OF OPERATION
When the machine is turned on, the ozone generator
will begin producing ozone, the solenoid valve will open,
and the internal water pump will begin pumping water
through the ozone injector. This will create a vacuum
pressure on the ozone lines pulling air into the system
and injecting ozone into the water.
This ozone generator produces ozone from ambient
air around the machine. The air is pulled in through a
desiccant air dryer cartridge (to remove moisture), then
into the generation module. The generator uses a form
of controlled spark, called a corona, to split oxygen
molecules into the atomic O
bond with regular oxygen molecules to form ozone.
Water that has been injected with ozone travels through
an extended contact vessel, which includes a static
mixer cartridge, to allow the ozone a chance to properly
mix with the water. The ozonated water then leaves the
machine and goes on to the point of use.
