IM ORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ COM LETELY
BEFORE ROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
CAUTION: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
• Follow all applicable electrical codes.
• A qualified licensed electrician should perform electrical
hookup.
• Turn off power at main source before making any electrical
connections or servicing the unit.
• Use only liquid-tight flexible nonmetallic conduit for electrical
connections.
• A terminal marked is located inside the supply terminal
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided
in the electrical supply service panel with a continuous copper
wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this
equipment.

conductor not smaller than 6 AW .
WARNING:
• ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using power equipment
during the installation process.
• Install at least 5 ft from pool or spa water using nonmetallic
plumbing. Mount ozone generator near pool equipment at
least one (1) foot above maximum water level to prevent
water from contacting electrical equipment. Install in
accordance with the installation instructions.
• Short-term inhalation of high concentrations of ozone and
long-term inhalation of low concentrations of ozone gas can
cause serious harmful physiological affects. Do not inhale gas
produced by this unit. If installed in an enclosed space make
sure to account for adequate ventilation.

WHAT IS OZONE AND HOW DOES IT WORK
• Ozone is created from oxygen using a simple yet powerful system of UV bulbs,
to be used as a pure shock (oxidizer) for the swimming pool.
• Ozone is injected into the pool water using the Clear O3®suction injection
system, where the ozone enriched air is mixed with the water going into the
pool circulation pump. This creates a dynamic environment that best mixes the
air and water at high pressure as it is sent into the filter
• Once in the water, the ozone breaks down materials such as ammonia, oils, and
other non-living waste that are detrimental to chlorine's function in the pool.
This occurs between the pump and filter and also
in the filter. Chlorine is in a group of the least stable elements and must be
combined with another material to become stable. In swimming pools, this
process creates the formation of combined chlorines, like chloramines, which
do not sanitize and have adverse effects on human skin. Use of ozone allows
the chlorine to work primarily as a water disinfectant.
• Pool water treatment can be broken down into three primary categories:
1. Disinfectant- The killing of living organisms (virus, bacteria, algae). This
consumes only 10-20% of the chlorine normally placed in a pool.
2. Oxidation- The removal of non-living waste from pool water. This consumes up
to 70% of the chlorine placed in standard treated pools
3. Residual- The remaining, measurable sanitizer
is left in the pool as a safety net to maintain the water quality until it is brought
through the pool equipment again. Usually less than 10% of the chlorine
originally placed in a pool is left over
as residual.
Installing a Clear O3®Water Purification system will reduce the amount of
chlorine needed to maintain
a pool by up to70%.
The benefits of using ozone include:
• Fewer chemicals to maintain the pool.
• Less work to maintain the pool water.
• More enjoyable water, being treated similar to bottled water.
• Longer filter cycles, and increased life for the salt chlorinator cells (if present).

meter counter clockwise until the ball reads in the middle of the two
lines on the flow meter. (Fig. 22)
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE FLOW METER:
1. IF THE P MP THAT THE CLEAR 03®NIT IS INSTALLED ON IS A P MP
R NNING A PARAMO NT IN-FLOOR SYSTEM, lock the water valve on pause
when the valve is switching ports and therefore at it’s maximum flow (the pause
control is located on top of the Paramount water valve). Set the flow meter so the ball
is on the upper line of the Ideal range.
2. WHEN SING M LTIPLE SPEED P MPS, SET THE FLOW METER WITH
THE P MP R NNING ON THE HIGHEST SPEED THAT WILL BE SED.
3. The Clear O3 flow meter is very sensitive and the red ball may drop down below
the ‘ideal’ marker after it has been set. If this happens on your unit, please be aware
that this is normal. The flow meter will still deliver the proper amount of ozone as long
as the blue light is on. You do not need to reset the flow meter until after you clean
your filter.

in-ground swimming
pools is available to
remove excess air from
the filter and send it
downstream (up to 15')
past all equipment. After installing always test per instructions that air is
vented from the filter when the pump is running. You must install an
external air bleed if the filter is old, does not have an internal air bleed,
there is a solar system on the pool or there is a robotic pressure side
cleaner.

NOTE:
Ozone production from direct UV light will decline over time. UV bulbs
continue to illuminate after they stop producing an effective level of ozone
to clean your pool water. To make sure your pool continues to receive all the
benefits of ozone, Paramount recommends that you replace your bulb every
three (3) years.
