IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Read and be familiar with this manual before installing or operating your new Prozone unit.
2.
All applicable electrical codes must be followed during and after installation. All connections to be made by a qualified electrician.
3.
Disconnect all power at the main breaker before installing the Prozone unit.
4.
Voltage must be determined before unit is installed.
5.
Replace damaged cord immediately
6.
Do not bury cord.
7.
Connect only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
8.
Wear safety glasses when drilling and tapping holes for installation of unit.
9.
A wire connector is provided on the unit to connect a minimum No.8 AWG solid copper conductor between this unit and any
metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipes, or conduit within 5 feet of the unit.
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.
WARNING: Disconnect all power to pool equipment prior to installation, maintenance,
or removal of the Prozone unit.
WARNING: Do not permit children to operate this product
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, fire, or injury, service should only be performed
by a qualified pool service professional.
WARNING: Installation must be performed in accordance with the National Electric Code
and any applicable local or state installation codes.
WARNING: When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER, NEVER
WATER TO ACID.
INTRODUCTION TO OZONE
Ozone (O
) is generated by irradiating air or oxygen (O
3
three atoms of oxygen are bound together instead of the normal two atoms. The extra oxygen atom makes ozone the most powerful
oxidizer and sanitizer readily available.
Since ozone is unstable and quickly decomposes to normal oxygen under normal conditions, it cannot be shipped or stored. Therefore,
it must be manufactured on site for immediate use. In normal air it lasts about an hour. In normal spa water, it lasts just long enough to
purify the water - less than 1 second.
Although ozone is mainly thought of as a sanitizer, it acts primarily as an oxidizer in the spa environment. In a typical spa run on
chlorine only, up to 90 percent of the chlorine may be used up in reactions unrelated to disinfection. The by-products of these reactions
are combined chlorines. Combined chlorines are the cause of eye irritation, odor, and the other unpleasant side effects of chlorination.
When ozone is used, it oxidizes a large portion of the contaminants (usually referred to as bather load) which result in the formation of
combined chlorines. The result is that more chlorine is available for disinfection and less chlorine is required to maintain the spa.
Ozone also provides some disinfection, but an ozone residual cannot be established, so the use of chlorine or bromine is always
recommended.

Summary of Contents for Prozone PZ1
- Page 1 Read and Follow All Safety Instructions Read and be familiar with this manual before installing or operating your new Prozone unit. All applicable electrical codes must be followed during and after installation. All connections to be made by a qualified electrician.
- Page 2 Route the cable under the skirt to the ozone generator and carefully insert it 3 to 5 inches into the hole next to the nipple located on the ballast end of ozone generator (PZ3). The PZ1 ozone generator has a small hole in the end plate or on side of case.
- Page 3 Note: This installation is for spas which have been plumbed for a bypass venturi injector type installation. Install the Prozone Ozone Generator unit under the skirt of the spa or immediately next to it. The unit should be mounted on a solid surface with wood or sheet metal screws. Make sure screws do not penetrate the exterior of the spa skirt.
- Page 4 OPERATION The Prozone system produces ozone when air is drawn across a special high-energy vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp, converting some air to ozone. The ozone is introduced into the water either by direct diffusion (sparging) or with a bypass venturi system. With direct diffusion, air/ozone is forced through a porous metal disk which creates extremely fine bubbles.
