SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Observe strict
operating procedures while using ozone equipment.
It is imperative that only ozone compatible materials
are used in conjunction with the ozone system.
Ensure that the Ozone Generator is in a well-ventilated
area. Do not allow rain or condensation to contact the
Ozone Generator. The Ozone Generator is not weather
proof. The unit must be operated indoors or in an
enclosure in a non-condensing environment.
Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the
following important safety information concerning the
Ozone Generator:
1. Ozone is an extremely aggressive and powerful
oxidizer. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) 8 hour exposure limit is
0.10 PPM. The OSHA 15 minute exposure limit for
ozone is 0.3 PPM. Above 0.3 PPM, there is the risk
of damage to respiratory tissues.
2. People who have no sense of smell should not
operate this equipment.
3. Never attempt to verify ozone production by directly
breathing or smelling the ozone outlet.
4. The Ozone Generator contains high voltages.
Unauthorized entry can result in serious injury or
death. For service instructions, contact Ozone
Solutions.
5. Make sure all connections are secure and are
not leaking. Failure to do so could result in the
discharge of ozone into an undesired space.
Do not attempt to modify or enhance the performance
of the Generator in any way.
INTRODUCTION
This ozone generator produces ozone gas from
atmospheric air. Oxygen is very unstable in its tri-
atomic form (ozone) and naturally attaches to most
organic chemical contaminants, mold spores, odors,
etc., leaving them oxidized and broken down
molecularly. This reaction sanitizes the surfaces it
comes in contact with.
THEORY OF OPERATION
When the machine is turned on, the ozone generator
will begin producing ozone, the solenoid valve will open,
and the internal water pump will begin pumping water
through the ozone injector. This will create a vacuum
pressure on the ozone lines pulling air into the system
and injecting ozone into the water.
This ozone generator produces ozone from ambient
air around the machine. The air is pulled in through a
desiccant air dryer cartridge (to remove moisture), then
into the generation module. The generator uses a form
of controlled spark, called a corona, to split oxygen
molecules into the atomic O-ion. Some of the ions re-
bond with regular oxygen molecules to form ozone.
Water that has been injected with ozone travels through
an extended contact vessel, which includes a static
mixer cartridge, to allow the ozone a chance to properly
mix with the water. The ozonated water then leaves the
machine and goes on to the point of use.

INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS MANUAL
SECTION 2
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
It is recommended that the ozone generator be located
indoors in a well ventillated area not far from the
point of use. Dry ambient air will improve generator
performance and reduce the frequency of service for the
desiccant and generator module. Room temperature
or cooler ambient conditions will also allow for better
performance and longevity of the system.
LOCATION
The system is designed as a xed, wall-mountable,
indoor unit, and will also operate free-standing on
level surfaces. For proper operation and safety of the
equipment, it should only be operated in areas without
excessive dust, debris, and spray.
EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
1. Oxygen Flow Meter with Needle Valve
This ow meter displays the rate of oxygen owing
through the system and into the water. The ow can be
regulated via the needle valve attached.
2. Power Switch
This power switch turns on all aspects of the machine,
including generator, pump, solenoid valve, and pressure
switches. This switch is operated only as ON or OFF.
3. Fuse Holder
This cartridge contains the power fuse in the system. If
too much current is drawn by the machine, the fuse will
burn out and will need to be replaced.
4. Ventillation Filters
These vents contain a small destruct block that
prevents larger airborn particles from passing through,
as well as aiding in the destruction of any off-gassed or
leaked ozone gas.
5. Power Cable
The power cable to the ozone generator will be mounted
through this cord grip.
6. Water Connections
These bulkhead ttings are the water in and ozonated
water out ttings. They are both threaded, 1/2” NPT
brass ttings.

INTERNAL COMPONENTS
1. AD-500 Air Dryer
This component is a cylindrical container with an air
port on either end. Inside is a desiccant media that
absorbs moisture from the air owing through it. This
component requires periodical maintenance in the
form of desiccant regeneration or replacement.
2. HG-1500 Ozone Generator Module
This unit (located behind the shield in the diagram)
produces ozone from the stream of dried air. This unit
is air cooled, so the vents on it should be unobstructed.
3. Pump
This pump provides forced ow and pressure to the
venturi injector, ensuring better performance of the
injector.
4. Ventillation Fan
This fan expels hot air from the enclosure. This also
pulls in cooler air through the opposite vent.
5. Static Mixer
This component creates turbulence within the water
owing through it. It is the last dedicated mixing
opportunity before the treated water leaves the
machine toward the process application.
6. Venturi Injector (behind pressure gauge)
As water ows through the injector, internal geometry
creates a low pressure, which sucks in ozone. This
vacuum pressure is what drives the air and ozone ow
through the rest of the system.
7. Pressure Switch
The pressure switches ensure that water pressure
requirements are met within the system, to prevent
damage to the pump and other components.
8. Solenoid Valve
This valve will open to allow water into the system when
the system is powered on.
SECTION 3
WATER FLOW
Water ow through this Ozone Injection System will
be dependent upon the supply water connection to
maintain pressure on the system. The ozone injection
will occur regardless of the rate of ow through the
contact pipe, as long as the tank remains full of water.
Higher water usage will result in lower dissolved ozone
levels, while lower water usage will result in higher
dissolved ozone levels. This is due only to the ratio
of ozone to water. Keep this in mind when specic
dissolved ozone levels are required for your operation.
WATER PRESSURE
This Ozone Injection System will not operate effectively
with high water pressures. If water pressures are
expected to be much higher than standard municipal
systems, then water pressure should be regulated
ahead of the ozone system so that it can be adjusted
to maintain lower pressures.

INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS MANUAL
In order to protect the system, two pressure switches
have been installed in the system. The low pressure
switch will turn the generator off if water pressure is too
low, and the high pressure switch will stop the machine
if pressure gets too high.
If the water will be used for spraying or washing purposes
the water pressure should be kept below 30 PSI. This
is to ensure that the ozone will remain dissolved into
the water. Higher spray pressures will off-gas a large
amount of the dissolved ozone from the water in the
spraying process. This reduces the effectiveness of the
treated water, and can create unsafe ozone levels in
the air around machine operators.
AIR DRYER DESICCANT
The onboard air dryer (shown below) contains a
desiccantmedia which requiresperiodical regeneration.
The frequency of regeneration is dependent upon
the moisture content of the air passing through the
products.
There are two different desiccants which may be
present in your air dryer: a white colored and a pink
colored variant. The pink variant will darken to a
green color as moisture is absorbed, allowing a visible
indication of when it is time to replace or regenerate the
media. The white media does not change color, so its
condition must be monitored by other means. Replace
or regenerate the media after every 75 hours of run
time, regardless of incoming air moisture content.
To regenerate the desiccant media:
1. Remove the desiccant cartridge from its bracket
inside the SinkZone machine.
2. Remove the threaded cap of the cartridge and pour
the media onto a microwaveable or oven-safe tray.
3. If placed in the oven, bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees
F. If microwaved, use a low power setting and dry
until it returns to the original pink color. (Again, the
white media does not turn color).
4. Return the media into the cartridge and replace the
cap.
5. Reinstall the cartridge into its bracket in the
machine.
The media can be regenerated 4-6 times but should
then be replaced with new desiccant media.
OZONE GENERATOR MODULE
The ozone generator module inside the unit is a low-
maintenance air-cooled generator. The generator itself
can generate up to 1.5 grams of ozone per hour when
fed with pure oxygen at 4 lpm. The SinkZone unit was
not designed to be used with oxygen, nor has it been
designed with an oxygen concentrator onboard. As
such, the actual production of ozone will be less than
this amount and will vary much more severely if the
ambient air quality is dirty or too humid.
The output of the generator module can be adjusted
from 0-100%, however this is recommended to be
left at 100%. To lessen the concentration of injected
ozone, it is recommended to instead use the ow
regulating needle valve and ow meter on the front of
the machine.

APPENDIX B - PERSONAL SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE CONCERNS
Flushing Ozone from the System
NOTE: In most circumstances, a very small amount of ozone will be contained within the system after shut-down
and therefore exposure will be minimal.
Eventually the ozone (even while in the system) will safely revert back to oxygen, but in the right conditions the
ozone can remain in the system for 24 hours or even longer. In the event that maintenance must be performed
on the components in contact with ozone, the following is recommended for reducing the possibility of exposure
to the ozone:
• Whenever possible it is recommended that the machine run with maximum permissible air ow for at least 10
minutes with the Ozone Generator OFF in order to ush out most residual ozone.
• If the machine cannot be operated prior to maintenance or repair, a waiting period of 12 to 24 hours (if ozone
has been produced recently) is recommended to allow the ozone to decay by reverting back into oxygen.
Isolating energy sources
The SinkZone has electrical and mechanical hazards, and maintenance or repair should not take place unless all
energy sources have been turned off, disconnected, and/or drained.
