A wire connector is provided on the unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG solid copper conductor between this
unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipes, or conduit within 5 feet
of the unit.

WARNING - Short term inhalation of high concentrations of ozone and long term inhalation of low concentrations
of ozone can cause serious harmful physiological effects. Do not inhale ozone gas produced by this device.
1. Replace damaged cord immediately.
2. Do not bury cord.
3. Connect only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
฀NOTE: The instructions in this document provide general installation guides. Consult your dealer for specific installation instructions.
Additional information is available at www.prozoneint.com. Check system for any visible shipping damage. If damage has occurred,
contact the delivery company and your dealer immediately. Before beginning installation, please turn to the Installation Kit Inventory
Section and verify that all listed parts are on hand.
INTRODUCTION TO OZONE
The Prozone system produces ozone when air is drawn across a special high-energy vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp, converting some air to
ozone. Ozone is a molecule of oxygen that is formed when three atoms of oxygen are bound together instead of the normal two atoms. The
extra oxygen atom makes ozone the most powerful oxidizer and sanitizer readily available. Since ozone is unstable and quickly decomposes
to normal oxygen under normal conditions, it cannot be shipped or stored. Therefore, it must be manufactured on site for immediate use. In
normal air it lasts about an hour. In normal spa/pool water it lasts just long enough to purify the water - less than 1 second. Although ozone is
mainly thought of as a sanitizer, it acts primarily as an oxidizer in the pool environment. In a typical spa/pool, using chlorine only, up to 90
percent of the chlorine may be used up in reactions unrelated to disinfection. The by-products of these reactions are combined chlorines.
Combined chlorines are the cause of eye irritation, odor, and the other unpleasant side effects of chlorination. When ozone is used, it oxidizes
a large portion of the contaminants (usually referred to as bather load) which results in the formation of combined chlorines. The result is that
more chlorine is available for disinfection and less chlorine is required to maintain the pool. Ozone also provides some disinfection, but an
ozone residual cannot be established, so the use of chlorine or bromine is always recommended.
The PZ5 Ozone Generator may be mounted in any orientation. Place the unit above water level or loop the ozone delivery hose above
water level. This will prevent water from siphoning down into the ozonator.

Check electrical system: Timer set properly; 240VAC double switched per N.E.C. standards; 120 VAC single switched.
Check for and correct all leaks in plumbing.
Check the filters: Clean or replace as needed.
Shock the spa using non-lithium-based shock. The use of Calcium Hypochlorite or Sodium Hypochlorite is recommended.
For best results, drain water and fill with fresh water. It is easier to clean unused water, thought the ozonator will still remove
substanial impurities from fresh tap water!
CAUTION: Make sure voltage is the same as prescribed on the side of the Prozone Ozone Generator.
Start all equipment and check pressure of the filter.

Cut a 6” length of the 1/4” hose.
Attach one end of the 6” length of hose to the 1/4 barb on the Prozone Ozone Generator and secure with a clamp.
Make sure you can blow air through the Check Valve towards the spa/container, this is the INLET side of the Check Valve. Attach
the other end of the 6” length of hose to the INLET side of the Check Valve and secure with a clamp.
Attach one end of the remaining length of 1/4” hose to the other barb (OUTLET) on the Check Valve and secure with a clamp.
Route the hose so that at some point it passes above the water level. You may need to tie the hose up to keep it in place.
Drain the water from the spa/container.
If using a MP-3 Diffuser;
1. Drill a 3/4” hole in the side of the spa/container near the bottom. Hole should be cut from the inside.
2. Install the MP-3 Diffuser in the 3/4” hole and secure with furnished nut.
If using a MP-1 Diffuser;
1. Drill a 1-1/8” hole in the side of the spa/container near the bottom. Hole should be cut from the inside.
2. Install the bulkhead fitting in the 1-1/8” hole and secure with the furnished nut, then install the MP-1 Diffuser into the bulkhead fitting.
Attach remaining end of the 1/4” hose to the MP-1 or MP-3 fitting and secure with a clamp.
Electrical: If hardwiring, system is either 120VAC, 60Hz; 240VAC, 50/60Hz or 12VAC/DC. Wire Prozone Ozone Generator system
to circulation pump switch or timer. Prozone system and circulation pump should be started simultaneously. Use N.E.C. or local code
grounding and installation procedures for spa equipment.

Operation & Troubleshooting
pH - 7.2 to 7.6. Ozone is pH neutral and will not cause the pH value of the water to fluctuate.
Santizers - A chlorine level of 0.5 ppm to 1 ppm is recommended.
Shock - Non-lithium-based material such as Calcium Hypochlorite or Sodium Hypochlorite, etc.
The use of other chemicals is not usually required and they could cloud the spa water.
The Prozone system produces ozone when air is drawn across a special high-energy vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp, converting some
air to ozone. Ozone is introduced into the water through a porous metal disk (diffuser) which creates extremely fine bubbles. As the
bubbles rise, the ozone is absorbed into the water where it reacts. In the case of spa applications, the ozone is introduced via the
“ozone ready” air venturi inherent in virtually all spas manufactured today. For spa and other water containers not ozone-ready, or for
temporary or simple installations, a diffuser may be inserted into the ozone generator output hose, and the diffuser merely hung over
the side.
