WARNING: NOT FOR USE IN THE DISINFECTION OF HEMODIALYSIS WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS OR OTHER DEVICES FOR HEMODIALYSIS APPLICATIONS! Manufactured With Pride In The USA www.ameriwater.com • 800-535-5585 AmeriWater • 3345 Stop 8 Rd. • Dayton, OH 45414 98-0109 Rev. B...
The disinfection process is completed during off-hours when the water distribution system is not being used to supply water to a point of use. The AmeriWater Ozone Disinfection System provides dissolved aqueous ozone concentrations of at least 0.5 ppm for disinfection of the water distribution system.
This causes a percentage of the oxygen molecules to dissociate and reassemble as ozone (O The ozone is drawn into the water by a venturi injector / mixer. This allows the ozone to be injected into the water under a vacuum condition, which is the safest and most efficient technology available.
Ozone has a very short half-life and will decompose to oxygen in less than 5 hours. The human nose can detect the ozone odor at .02 PPM, which is 5 times lower than the OSHA safe level.
Just about all the materials except filter cartridges and membranes used in the typical water system are acceptable. Below is a list of materials that are compatible for ozone concentrations up to 6 PPM in water. Piping: Gaskets &...

Check Valve – Controls the direction of flow of ozone into the water stream. 10. Injector – Injects ozone gas into the water flow. 11. Ozone Generator ON / OFF Switch – Turns power to ozone generator ON and OFF and will illuminate when the ozone generator is producing ozone.
The ozone gas collected in the gas off tank is vented automatically to the ozone gas destruct chamber and destroyed.

The gas off tank is in the flow path after the venturi injector. The water-ozone mix enters the bottom of the tank and exits at the bottom of the tank. The excess ozone will gas off and be vented to the destruct chamber to be converted to oxygen.
TANK FITTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Any PVC tank bulkhead fitting can be used in a polyethylene tank. Verify that the gasket material is compatible for use with aqueous ozone (Viton is preferred). 2. Instructions for installing PVC fittings in Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks.
DISINFECTION OF THE RO WATER STORAGE TANK & DISTRIBUTION LOOP Connect the ozone inlet hose to VALVE B, on the ozone bypass (as shown below). Connect the ozone outlet hose to VALVE C, on the storage tank. The quick connect fittings are gender-oriented to prevent incorrect connections.

Turn the ozone generator power switch ON (power switch shown in Figure 1, page 5). If the ON / OFF switch is illuminated, ozone is now being supplied to the system being disinfected. Monitor the FEED FLOWMETER and the VACUUM GAUGE to verify they are in range (Feed Flow = 3.5 - 5 GPM, Vacuum = -3”...

WARNING: Prior to use, test the water at the end of the loop (when the storage tank is full) to verify that there is no residual ozone left in the system. If the residual ozone level is above 0.05 ppm (mg/l), dump the storage tank to drain and refill the tank.
SECTION 4, MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE MAINTENANCE Keep the ozone generator clean. The ozone generator does not need regular service if clean feed oxygen is used. GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem / Symptom Possible Cause Solution Unit does not turn on No power to unit...
GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) Water in unit or ozone Insufficient vacuum Adjust injector vacuum delivery tubing Defective check valve(s) Replace check valve(s) Excessive backpressure on check Backpressure not to exceed 40 PSI, if valve(s) over 40 PSI consult AmeriWater Unit seems noisy...
Allowing water to enter the generator will cause damage not covered under AmeriWater’s product Warranty. Feed gas must be clean, dry Air or Oxygen at –60º F dew point for maximum Ozone production. Provide proper voltage to the generator (100-125 VAC 60 Hz).
