IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper installation and safe use of your DEL spa ozonator is your responsibil-
ity. Read and follow this Owner’s Manual carefully for important installations,
operation and safety information. Basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. All electrical connections should be made by a qualied electrician.
3. Follow all applicable electrical codes.
4. Be sure all the electrical power is shut off at the main circuit breaker
before installing the ozonator.
5. Connect to a grounded grounding-type receptacle only.
6. If the ozonator electrical connections will be attached directly to the
spa controls, be sure the spa controls are protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.). If the DEL spa ozonator is connected to an
independent electrical supply, then a G.F.C.I. must be installed between
he ozonator and the electrical supply.
7. Do not bury the cord.
8. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace a damaged cord
immediately.
9. Per U.L. requirements, the ozonator must be mounted indoors, or under
a cover, sheltered from the natural elements (e.g.: rain, sun, sprinkler).
10. For ozonators equipped with a standard “three-prong” plug (NEMA 5-
15P), the ozonator must be mounted above the water line, at least ve
(5) feet away from the spa and at least one (1) foot above the water
level.
11. Mount the ozonator so that it is inaccessible to anyone in the spa. Never
attempt any servicing while wet.
12. To reduce the risk of injury, this unit should be mounted where it is inac-
cessible to children.
13. Plastic ozone supply tubing is supplied with the ozonator. Never replace
this tubing with metal tubing, as ozone will damage it.
14. Do not operate the ozonator unless sufcient air ow (~2 scfh) is being
drawn through the unit.
15. WARNING: Short term inhalation of high concentrations of ozone and
long term inhalations of low concentrations of ozone can cause serious
harmful physiological effects. Do not directly inhale ozone gas produced
by this device (i.e. do not inhale directly from tubing or ozonator).

HOW THE DEL SPA OZONATOR WORKS
The Spa Eclipse Platinum ozonator that you have just purchased is a high-
output ozonator capable of sanitizing spas up to 1200 gallons. When used
in conjunction with a small residual of chlorine (.5-1 PPM), the Platinum will
simply provide you with the healthiest, clearest and purest water available.
Ozone is created and introduced into your spa through the use of a suction
creating venturi injector or simply an ozone jet. Many spas manufactured
today are “ozone ready” and will plumb easily to your Spa Eclipse Platinum
ozonator. The spa kit includes parts necessary to connect the Platinum
to your existing spa if your spa is ozone ready. If your spa is not ozone
ready, you may need additional parts. Contact the retail store where you
purchased this unit or call DEL Ozone customer support for further help.
Ozone is introduced to the spa when your circulation/ltration pump is running.
Please note that the ozone check valve is correctly plumbed so that water
does not back up into the ozonator. In addition, the use of a Hartford Loop
may be required to prevent water from potentially backing up into the ozonator.
Please refer to pages 8 and 11 for information on creating a Hartford Loop.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
Note: For ozonators equipped with a standard “three-prong” plug (NEMA 5-
15P), the ozonator must be mounted above the water line, at least ve (5) feet
away from the spa and at least one (1) foot above the water level.
Find a suitable location underneath the skirt of the spa to mount the ozonator.
To prevent water from backing up into the ozonator (in case of check valve
failure) mount the unit close to the water surface and include a Hartford
Loop (see page 11) that rises above the water level. Locate the unit so
that electrical and ozone supply tubing connections can be made easily.
The ozonator must be mounted indoors or under a cover, protected from
natural elements. NOTE: If the ozonator is used on an indoor spa, the unit
needs the optional Mixing Degas Valve (MDV) or have adequate ventilation.
Attach the Platinum Spa Eclipse to a solid surface using screws (included).
OZONE SUPPLY TUBING
Your ozonator includes 5’ of tubing. Connect one end to the ozonator and cut
the tubing 4’ foot from the ozonator. Insert the check valve (with the arrow
pointing away from the ozonator) and reconnect the pieces. The check valve
permits ozone to ow through the tubing in one direction while preventing water
from backing up into the ozonator.
There are various locations where the other end of the ozone supply tubing
can be connected. Review the following sections to determine which location
is most applicable to your spa.

OZONE SUPPLY TUBING CONNECTION LOCATIONS:
OZONE-READY SPAS
If your spa is factory equipped with an ozone injection point, follow the manu-
facturer’s installation instructions or check with your dealer. After installation,
you will need to test the suction at the injection point. Refer to the section titled
“DEL Suction Test” for instructions on performing this test.
NON OZONE-READY SPAS:
LOCATION “A” & “B” (see Figures 2 & 3): This location can be used if the
air control valves on your spa completely close.
LOCATION “C” (see Figure 2): This location is used if the air control valve
does not have a completely closed position.
LOCATION “D” (see Figure 5): This connection procedure is used on spas
which have a two-speed pump and where the venturi air line is inaccessible
or will not provide sufcient suction to operate the ozonator properly. A DEL
RIGID INJECTOR MANIFOLD (DEL Part Number IU-201) is required and can
be ordered from your local dealer. This connection is also used if an air blower
is provided to “supercharge” the jets.
LOCATION “E” (see Figure 5): Use this location on spas with a single-speed
pump. A DEL ADJUSTABLE INJECTOR MANIFOLD (DEL Part Number IU-
206) is required and can be ordered from your local dealer.
NOTE: Locations “D” and “E” provide the most efcient method for dispersing
ozone into the spa’s water.
OZONE SUPPLY TUBING CONNECTION:
Once a suitable location has been chosen, follow the appropriate connection
instructions below.
LOCATIONS “A”, “B”, “C”:
NOTE: In the case where there are two air control valves, it may be helpful to
determine which one has the best air suction. To do this, operate the pump
on low speed with both air control valves open. Observe the action of the jets.
The lowest jet with the most bubbles will suggest the best location in the air
venturi line for the ozone supply tubing connection.

6
INSTALLATION FOR LOCATIONS “A” & “B”:
Turn off the electrical power and drain the spa at least 12 inches below the
selected “A” (Figure 2) or “B” (Figure 3) location. The installation instruction for
locations “A” & “B” are identical except that location “A” utilizes a vertical air
venturi line and location “B” utilizes a horizontal air venturi line. Use the spa’s
venturi air line which provides the best suction and is connected to the lowest
jet. (See NOTE on page 5).

PLASTIC HOSE CONNECTOR INSTALLATION:
A plastic hose connector installed onto the air venturi line may be used when
the spa is not “ozone ready”. If the spa is plumbed with  exible PVC pipe, an
appropriately sized PVC tee  tting, with the center having 1/2” female threads
(not included) must be installed (see Figure 3). The plastic hose connector
threads into the tee  tting. The plastic hose connector can be purchased from
your dealer using DEL part number 7-0127 (see Figure 7). Select a conve-
nient location, that provides enough room to work, to install the PVC tee  tting
with 1/2” female threads (not included). Cut the existing air venturi line at the
selected “A” or “B” location (see Figures 2 & 3). Glue the  tting into place. Be
sure to use “FLEX-TO-RIGID” PVC Cement. Wrap Te on tape on the plastic
hose connector threads and install into the tee  tting.
SADDLE CLAMP ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION:
If the spa is plumbed with rigid PVC pipe or if there are any rigid locations on
the air venturi line such as a tee or elbow  tting, a saddle clamp assembly can
be utilized. Please contact your local dealer to order DEL part number 9-0001.
To use the saddle clamp assembly,  nd a suitable location to secure it. Possible
locations are shown in Figure 4. Be sure the chosen location is part of the air
venturi system and that there is enough clearance to tightly secure the saddle
clamp. Drill a 3/8” diameter hole at the chosen location. BE CAREFUL not to
drill through the back of the pipe or  tting. Push the nipple into the hole and
secure by tightening down the saddle clamp.
Fully close the air control valve to provide maximum suction. If the spa is
equipped with adjustable jets be sure that they are all completely open. When
 nal electrical connections have been made,  ll the spa to its normal operating
level and turn the power back on. Proceed to the DEL SUCTION TEST section
before  nal connection of ozone supply tubing is made.
Figure 4: Possible Saddle Clamp Locations

8
INSTALLATION FOR LOCATION “C”:
Turn off the electrical power and drain the spa at least 12 inches below the air
venturi line which provides the best suction and is connected to the lowest jet.
Cut the PVC ex tube approximately 3” to 4” from the air control valve. Install
an appropriately sized PVC reducer tting (not included), with 1/2” female
threads on one end. Be sure to use FLEX-TO-RIGID- PVC Cement whenever
working with PVC ex tubing. Wrap Teon tape on the plastic hose connector
threads and install into the reducer tting, securing ozone supply tubing. This
entire assembly should be secured as close to the top of the spa waterline as
possible. NOTE: This installation will cause ozone to be drawn only through
the jet(s) dedicated to this venturi air line no matter what position the air control
valve is in.
See ELECTRICAL CONNECTION to complete installation. When nal electri-
cal connections have been made, ll the spa to its normal operating level and
turn the power back on. Proceed to the DEL SUCTION TEST section before
nal connection of ozone supply tubing is made.
INSTALLATION FOR LOCATION “D” (TWO-SPEED PUMPS):
For the location “D” connection, a DEL RIGID INJECTOR MANIFOLD (DEL
Part Number IU-201) is required - contact your local dealer (See Figure 5).

Turn off the electrical power and completely drain the spa. The DEL RIGID
INJECTOR MANIFOLD must be installed in the spa’s return line after all other
equipment (pump, lter and heater). It should be installed as close to the spa
as possible.
Figure 6: Injector Mounting Diagram
Locate an appropriate section of the return line, hold the injector manifold
against the pipe and mark the length. Subtract 2-2/3” from the overall length,
mark this point, and cut out the section. Install the injector manifold with PVC
cement. The injector manifold can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal
position in the return line.
Make sure the water ow arrow on the ball valve is pointed toward the spa.
Locate the plastic hose connector, wrap 3 layers of teon tape on the threads
(do not use thread sealant), and install it hand tight into 1/2” female pipe thread
tting of the DEL Rigid Injector Manifold. Tighten the plastic hose connector
1/2 turn with a wrench. Secure one end of the ozone supply tubing to the barb
end of the plastic hose connector with a supplied gold hose clamp. Locate
the ozone supply check valve and install it into ozone supply tubing by cutting
tubing in two separate places approximately 4’ from the ozonator and insert
the check valve between each cut, securing both ends of the check valve with
gold hose clamps as shown in Figure 7.

See ELECTRICAL CONNECTION to complete installation. When the nal
electrical connections are completed, rell the spa to its normal operating level
(check for leaks as the spa is lling), and turn the power back on. Proceed
to the DEL SUCTION TEST section before nal connections of ozone supply
tubing are made.
INSTALLATION FOR LOCATION “E” (SINGLE-SPEED PUMPS)
For the location “E” connection, a DEL ADJUSTABLE INJECTOR MANIFOLD
(DEL Part Number IU-206) is required. The injector manifold must be installed
on the spa return line after all the spa equipment (See Figure 5). Refer to the
instructions for installing a DEL RIGID INJECTOR MANIFOLD, Installation for
Location “D”, above.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical cord should be wired to the pump controller so that the genera-
tor comes on only when the pump is on (for two speed pumps the generator
should be wired to the low speed control). Ozonators supplied with a special
plug should be connected to the appropriate electrical outlet on the spa pack
on ozone-ready spas.
The Platinum Spa Eclipse requires the addition of a minimum 8 AWG grounding
wire, to comply with local requirements (this wire must be connected from the
open ground lug of the power supply cartridge to a grounding point).
DEL SUCTION TEST
The DEL suction test is used to determine if the selected venturi location will
provide enough suction for proper ozonation of the spa, and for setting the
position of the ball valve on the DEL adjustable injector manifold in location “E”.
To test the suction, disconnect the ozone supply tubing from the ozonator. With
the spa running, place your thumb over the end of the tubing and check how
much suction is applied to your thumb. The suction should be strong enough
to lightly “suck” your thumb to the end of the tubing.

11
FAILED DEL SUCTION TEST
Very little or no suction may be caused by the list of possible problems below.
Review the list then test for suction again.
1. Dirty lter: Clean the lter and test again
2. Clogged jets: Clean and test again
3. Closed adjustable jets: Open completely and test again
4. Jet nozzle orices too small: Remove orice reducers or drill larger ori-
ces.
5. Injector Manifold installed before heater or pump: All Injector Manifolds
must be installed AFTER all spa support equipment. Failure to do this will
result in poor suction as well as damaged equipment.
6. Spa pump sized either too large or too small for number or sizes of jets
located in spa.
7. Check Valve is installed backwards.
HARTFORD LOOP INSTALLATION
Make a loop with the ozone supply tubing and secure it above (or as close
to) the spa water level. This loop will prevent water from backing up into the
ozonator should the check valve fail. A Hartford Loop must be installed to
validate the warranty. If a single loop cannot be secured above the water line,
make two complete eight (8) inch diameter loops with the ozone supply tubing
and secure as high as possible.
FINAL CHECK
Recheck the ozonator installation. Be sure all electrical connections are correct,
the unit is mounted properly and the ozone supply tubing is connected. When
the spa pump comes on, the green LED on the top of the unit will turn on.

12
The spa’s mechanical system will run exactly as before. Note: If the pump is
above the water level of the spa and there is not a apper valve in the strainer
basket housing, the pump may lose its prime on an injector installation. Most
pump/lter systems have this valve. If yours does not, add a DEL CHECK
1/3# check valve (DEL part number C0-0101, not included) between the spa
outlet and the strainer basket housing. Continue to follow the instructions for
the pump, lter, heater, etc., that come with your spa.
Once the ozonator is functioning properly, there is nothing the spa owner must
do to operate it. It should be hooked up so that it operates automatically with
the spa system. If it does not, refer back to the electrical section.
MAINTENANCE
There are no end-user servicable parts on the Platinum ozonator except for a
fuse. See the Trouble Shooting Section for help replacing the fuse.

13
TROUBLE SHOOTING
SYMPTOM: Cloudy water condition even though the unit appears to be
operating properly.
PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Unit and pump not operating 1A.Increase operating time (min. 6 hours
long enough is recommended)
2. Total alkalinity not correct 2A. Adjust total alkalinity betw. 80-150 ppm
3. pH not correctly balanced 3A. Check for proper pH betw. 7.2-7.6
4. Not enough suction 4A. Perform DEL Suction Test. Remove air
control cap and check condition of “O”
ring - replace and tighten cap snugly
5. Too much suction 5A. Adjust the jets to reduce suction
6. Dirty, loose, cracked lter 6A. Check/replace lter as needed
7. Metals or minerals in water 7A. Ozone may react with metals/minerals
in the water (this is common when
new water is added) causing cloudy
water. Check alkalinity, pH, and clean
lter. Run ltration system and ozone
for 24 hours and clean lter.
SYMPTOM: Pump loses prime when system is off.
PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. No apper valve in pump 1A. Add apper valve
strainer
SYMPTOM: System on/off – water backing into ozonator
When your system is in its “on” cycle a suction of air is being pulled through
the tubing from the ozonator to the return line.
When the system is in its “off” cycle water tends to ow back in the tubing
towards the ozonator. Therefore, mounting your ozone unit as high as possible
in relation to the spa water level is important. There is also a one-way check
valve provided to prevent the back ow of water from reaching the ozonator.
As a secondary precaution, a Hartford loop in the tubing, also hanging above
water level, will help prevent water damage to the ozonator (see pg. 6, Fig.
2).
SYMPTOM: The green LED not lit
No power to the ozonator. Check the electrical connections and then the
fuse.
