DEL Eclipse 1, 2, & 4 Corona Discharge Ozone Generators
2D Plumbing
Ozone gas is introduced to the pool circulation line using
a venturi injector. Suction developed by the venturi allows
the DEL Eclipse generator to operate safely under vacuum.
Note: Water must never travel back to the ozone generator.
2D-1. Plumbing the Injector Manifold: The Injector Manifold
must be installed in the pool's main return line after all other
pool equipment (pump, fi lter, heater, and cleaner). Figure 2
shows the most basic installation. For installation with addi-
tional sanitizers and pool cleaners contact DEL Technical
Support (see section 4E).
Figure 2 DEL Injector Manifold Mounting Location
Locate an appropriate section of the return line and install the
injector manifold with PVC cement. Be very careful to observe
and follow the correct water fl ow direction (as indicated by
the arrow on the injector manifold).
2D-2. Water Check Valve: If the pool equipment is mounted
above the water line, a check valve must be installed between
the pump outlet and the Injector Manifold. This will prevent the
pump from draining and losing its prime (when not in use).
Note: If a 1/3# DELCheck
diately after chlorine feeders.
2D-3. Pressure Test:
If a pressure test is required, it should be performed prior
to connecting the Ozone Gas Line. Install the 3/4" pipe cap
provided onto the Injector for the pressure test.
2D-4. Ozone Gas Line - refer to Figure 3.
1. Install Tube Adapter on injector. Use thread sealant as
needed. (Do not use thread tape.)
2. Connect the end of the Ozone Tube Assembly with the
check valve installed onto the Tube Adapter.
3. Cut off the excess tubing so that the line from the injector
to the DEL Eclipse is as straight and free from dips and
loops as possible.
4. The base of the DEL Eclipse has two tube connections.
Connect the other end of the ozone supply tubing to the
port marked "OZONE OUT" (see Bottom View - Figure 4).
NOTE: Plumbing the Ozone Line to the incorrect port will
cause damage to the ozone generator.

Operation

3A General
To achieve optimal performance from the ozone system, the
pool must be as clean as possible to start with.
1. Backwash or clean fi lters one day before starting the ozone
generator.
2. Superchlorinate pool water using a chlorine based shock
treatment prior to ozone system start-up.
3. Test pool chemistry and adjust pH between 7.4 and 7.6.
Adjust total alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm.
4. Run pool fi ltration continuously for 24 hours prior to starting
ozone system.
3B Initial System Start-Up
Upon completing all of the generator system connections and
cleaning the pool as outlined above, you are ready to start the
ozone generator.
1. Check electrical connections.
2. Check for proper voltage.
3. Adjust the injector manifold valve (if applicable) to half open
(45°) as shown in Figure 2.
4. Turn on pool circulation system.
3C Normal Operation
1. Indicator Lights: When the pool's circulation system starts,
the green LED indicator(s) on the front of the DEL Eclipse
will illuminate. The EC-1, EC-2, and EC-4 should show 1,
2, and 4 indicators, respectively.
2. Gas Flow: Connect the fl owmeter provided to the "AIR IN"
port on the base of the Eclipse. Under worst-case system
conditions the fl owmeter ball should indicate at least a small
amount of air fl ow. Flow may be adjusted as described
below.
Adjustable Injector Manifold: Gas fl ow can be controlled
by adjusting the Valve on the Manifold. Close the valve to
increase gas fl ow, open the Valve to decrease gas fl ow.
