For outdoor use only!
WARNING
Pool care and sanitizing is the sole responsibility of
the owner. In some cases a residual sanitizer must be
present to minimize cross contamination. Pools/Spas
are not intended to treat infections. Never allow use of
pool if you are unable to verify the condition of open
sores, wounds, lesions, cuts, sores, abrasions, boil,
etc. or infections of any type exist. The best industry
practice is to maintain a minimum of 2 PPM residual
chlorine sanitizer in the water at all times. The best
industry practice will minimize the possibility of cross
contamination; however; will not eliminate the
possibility.

Equipment Set-up
For best results it is highly recommended that the pool be
thoroughly cleaned to remove residual dirt and contaminants
prior to installation of the Aero-Pool system.
Set the equipment on a level solid spacer block that is at least 2
–3/8” thick and at least 10’ from the pool that is not prone to
flooding (equipment is weather proof but not waterproof) Figure
2. If the supplied ozone tube is not of adequate length, move
the equipment closer to the pool but not closer than 10’. Do not
extend or shorten the ozone tube. If the tube is too long, coil
the excess tube in an 8” diameter coil.
Note: an improperly sized ozone tube will detrimentally affect the
performance and life of this product and may void the warranty!

that is at least 10’ from the pool that can be used to supply
power to the equipment.
5. Insert the electrical plug from the unit into a GFCI (Type 15-
5R) outlet. The equipment will begin to operate. You will hear a

Grounding Requirements
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug (type 5-15P). The plug must be
plugged into an outlet (type 5-15R) that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, contact
Aero-Spa, LLC or a qualified electrician. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product
is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This
product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. No adapter
should be used with this product. This product has an
automatic thermal limiter, which shuts off the entire product
when an elevated temperature condition exists. When the
product cools it will automatically restart. Only if required,
obtain a UL outdoor rated extension cord. Never locate the
Aero-Spa generator closer than 10’ from the hot tub. In the
event of a power outage, the GFCI device will need to be reset
manually.

DANGER: Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Occasionally GFCI breakers will experience nuisance tripping.
This will shut off the power to the equipment. If this occurs,
press the “reset” button. If pressing the “reset” button does not
start the equipment, unplug the cycle timer and press the
“reset” button again. If the “reset” button does not “hold in”,
replace the GFCI breaker. If the button does “hold in”, plug the
generator power cord into the GFCI breaker and circumvent the
cycle timer. Press the “reset” button again. If the “reset” button
does not “hold in” replace the GFCI breaker. If the “reset”
button does “hold in” contact Aero-Spa, LLC.
Do not operate this equipment without a GFCI breaker installed.
Maintenance and Care
This product has no user serviceable parts. If service is
required, contact Aero-Spa, LLC. Attempts to service the ozone
generator will void the customer satisfaction policy, Limited
Warranty, and expose the user to electrical shock which may
cause severe injury or death.
Keep the area around the product free of leaves and other
debris. If debris enters the product through the air intake holes,
unplug the product and carefully remove the debris. Restart
product.
The diffuser stone can be cleaned with a 3% hydrogen
peroxide solution or muriatic acid.
Fill & Start-Up Recommendations
Our customers have been using the Aero-Pool system as the
primary water treatment process for years with limited harsh
chemicals. Because we cannot control how your pool is
used/maintained and according to the EPA we must
recommend maintaining at 2 PPM of an approved residual
sanitizer to minimize cross contamination of users.
