Tank-o3 Tank-o3 system User manual

Instruction Manual

Always adhere to all the instructions described below.

This is a prerequisite for installing and putting into use

this extremely modern and environmentally friendly

electrochemical piece of equipment in the most effective

and safest way possible. We strongly suggest that you ask

an authorized dealer to install this equipment, check

it annually and replace the cellheart.

Always provide airow!

Only maintenance: Clean and descale the electrolytic

cellheart with (cleaning) vinegar or citric acid once

per 2 to 4 weeks. See www.tank-o3.com “Cleaning-tips”

The system is suitable for use in both plastic and

stainless steel tanks but NOT in metal and aluminium

tanks!

Never use in combination with additives.

Why choose Tank-O3?

And what is it exactly?

Those who regularly travel by camper, boat, caravan, tiny

house etc. will - without doubt - sometimes wonder about

the quality of drinking water in the clean water tank!

Consumption of drink water is not a problem, however.

The water is clean and potable.

But what about the development of biolm, legionella,

algae, bacteria, viruses and germs in your tank when

no water is used for a long time? Particularly when you

prefer travelling to warm regions, the development of

microorganisms is not just imaginary.

Of course you have the option to counteract this

development by using all kinds of chemical agents.

However, that is not desirable from an environmental

point of view and it also leaves an unwanted taste and

odour. Besides, it is a cumbersome and time consuming

job and, therefore, it is often “forgotten”. Even if the

water has been left in the tank for several weeks or even

months!

Tank-O3 is the system that solves this difcult problem.

From now on, you are assured of always having a biolm-free,

clean water tank with clean and safe water on board your

camper, boat, caravan, tiny house etc.

Results of Tank-O3

Safe water, legionella prevention

and always a clean water tank!

Tank-O3is an environmentally friendly system that

renders all biolm, bacteria, germs, viruses, fungi,

algae, spores, legionella etc. in the water itself

harmless and, this is truly unique: throughout the

tank, from top to bottom and from left to right.

Your tank is absolutely biolm-free!

Tank-O3produces small amounts of ozone gas to

disinfect the water tank through electrolysis.

Ozone gas is produced by converting oxygen, (O2)

that is naturally present in water, to ozone (O3).

In that way, the treated water also becomes “fuel’.

Adding chemicals or harmful additives is not necessary.

The amount of ozone gas Tank-O3produces, is so

minimal that it is not harmful to health and does not

endanger the environment.

An important condition, however, is that the tank is

bled properly. Often, some bleed air is already

present because of air ow in the tank, necessary

for topping up water. If this is not the case, a

separate bleed air system, e.g. an air release valve,

must be installed!

Tank-O3works on a safe, minimum low voltage, in

contrast to ozone generators or UV equipment which

all work on high voltage! With a tank capacity of

100/150 liters, the cell current is set to only 50 mA.

If the tank capacity is smaller, the cell current will be

proportionally lower (about 30 mA).

With a tank capacity of more than 150 liters, we

recommend that you install 2 or more systems in the

tank, in order to ensure that ozone gas is spread

throughout the tank.

Because ozone gas only has a maximum lifespan of

25 minutes, depending on water temperature and

contamination of both tank and water, the distribution

of ozone in the tank water is of vital importance.

As a result, the effect of ozone gas is optimized, leading

to proper water treatment. A major additional advantage

of the gaseous form of ozone is that the tank is kept

completely clean, not only in the water part but also in

the empty part (above water level, so also the top), and

nothing else can clean both tank and water in such way,

making it truly unique!

The carefree system for clean and safe

water in a tank that is always spotlessly

clean!

Part E : 1 pc. Electrolysis cell complete with cell nucleus

Part F : 1 pc. Connection cable with fuse to 12V or 24V point

(black / white is + (pos) / black is - (min)

Part G : 1 pc. Connection cable with round plug to electrolysis cell

(black / white is + (pos) / black is - ( min)

Part H : 2 pcs. EPDM O-ring Ø 12 mm

Part I : 2 pcs. Green connection plugs

Part J : 7 cm Velcro self-adhesive

Part K : 1 pc. Awl

Drill a hole of Ø 16 mm in the tank

lid with a spiral or woodspeed drill,

preferably in the lid to make cleaning

the cellheart as easy as possible. You

can also choose to place an extra tank

feed-through Ø 60 mm in which the

above then can be carried out.

Make the hose (C) to length,

this means shorten the hose to the

maximum height inside the tank, i.e.

from the bottom of the tank to the

bottom of the lid, minus 6 cm.

Screw the brass cover lead-through

(A) with the longest thread into the

cover. The already placed piece of plastic

hose in the top of the brass cover lead-

through prevents the connecting cable

from rubbing through.

Bring 1 pc. O-ring (H) on the

inside of the lid around the brass lid

feedthrough (A) and tighten the John

Guest insert bush (B) onto the brass lid

feedthrough (A).

Now rst install the green

connecting plug (I) on the connecting

cable (G). Now run the connecting cable

(G) with the round plug rst through

the brass cover hole (A), through the

John Guest insert (B) and through the

custom-made hose (C).

See “Connecting the power wires to the

green plug”

Then press the hose (C) rmly into

the John Guest insert (B) on the bottom

of the lid.

Now pass the plug and connecting wire (G) through the

lower John Guest insert (B) and put the black O-ring (H)

around the ozone cell (E) on the side where the plug is to be

inserted. Now insert the plug into the ozone cell (E).

Finally, screw the ozone cell (E) tightly into the bottom John

Guest insert (B) and press it extra rmly onto the hose (C).

Now mount the green connection plug (I) on connection

cable (F) and on the other side mount the enclosed fuse on

the black / white + (pos) wire. Connect the power wire from

the 12 / 24V continuous power point to the Tank-O3 digital

ow controller (D). Now the green LED lights up, the system

works! The red LED may also light up at rst moment of

connection, this may take a few minutes. When only the

green LED is lit, the Tank-O3 system is fully and correctly in

operation.

Other information:

Recommended mA: minimum 50mA for tanks up to approx.

150 liters, may be lower (min. 30 mA) for smaller tanks!

With the supplied piece of self-adhesive Velcro (J) you can

attach the ow controller.

The awl (K) is useful when connecting the connecting wires

to the green connecting plugs and when replacing the cell

core.

Tank-O3makes your life easier

Throughout the season!

We recommend that you leave Tank-O3switched on nonstop;

24 hours a day. Given the very low power consumption, there

is no harm. If the vehicle in which the tank is installed is used

regularly, the battery will not go at that quickly.

That’s why you can just leave water in the tank for the entire

season. If your vehicle is stationary or stationary for a long

time, for example during winter or between 2 journeys, it is

preferable to switch off the system by pulling the plug from

the power regulator. You also empty the now spotless water

tank. If you rell the water tank over time, start the procedure

as described below.

At the start of the season or after not using your vehicle for

a long time, rst rinse the tank thoroughly, so without using

any additives. Fill the tank as usual and switch on Tank-O3.

You can select the maximum current of 200 mA for a couple

of days in order to get the tank completely clean and germfree

as soon as possible!

After lling the tank with clean drinking water and

depending on the amount of contamination in the tank,

the whole tank will be spotlessly clean within 48 to 72 hours,

from top to bottom, from left to right. There is no way you

can beat this by scrubbing with a cleaning agent instead!

Most importantly: you protect yourself against a possible

legionella infection! At the time of departure, you set the

desired current; normally a maximum of 50 mA.

It is also important to ensure proper air ow, both in

and out! This is already naturally present, in

combination with the tank ller hole.

From now on, your clean water tank and water

leaves you completely carefree! Congratulations!

The electrolytic cell of Tank-O3

Technical details of the electrolytic cell

Ozone production : max. 16 mg p/u

Electrolytic voltage : 12 / 24 volt

Electrolytic current : 0 – 200 mA

System pressure : max. 16 bar

Measurements : l x w x h: 90 x 36 x 33 mm

Cellheart of the electrolytic cell

Cellheart Clip Installation aid

Replacement of the cellheart

see www.tank-o3.com “Replace the cell nucleus”

Unscrew the lid of the tank and lift it carefully so that

the electrolytic cell is within easy reach. Use the installation

aid (or use the supplied awl) to loosen the cellheart. The

cellheart is fastened to the base of the electrolytic cell with

a clip. Press on both lower ends of the clip, it will now come

loose and you can remove the cellheart from the base

of the electrolytic cell. Clean the base of the electrolytic

cell with (cleaning) vinegar or citric acid, place the new

cellheart on the base of the electrolytic cell. Push

the clip over it and make sure that the clip is securely

fastened to the base of the electrolytic cell. Press each leg

of the clamp rmly onto a hard surface until you hear a click.

Now the clamp is tight! Ret the electrolytic cell.

CAUTION: First press the plug rmly and completely deep

into the electrolytic cell, then screw the John Guest insert

onto the electrolytic cell and press the John Guest insert

rmly back onto the hose.

First check whether the hose remains rmly clamped in the

John Guest insert !! Finally, screw the lid with the hose and

electrolytic cell back into the tank.

The electrolytic current may disrupt the water tank

level indicator. There are 2 solutions:

- By placing a DC Convertor this problem will be solved.

Ask your dealer or contact Tank-O3. Or disconnect the

power supply to the Tank-O3system for a short while

(pull the plug out of the current regulator) so that the

electrolytic current is cut off temporarily, and this will

result in the water tank level indicator functioning

normally.

The John Guest mounting system:

The John Guest mounting system is a push-t tting system.

You must push the pipe - with a diameter of 12 mm

- rmly into the pipe socket.

Disassembly is almost just as easy: press with your ngers

against the raised edge of the pipe socket (see above, left).

You can easily pull out the pipe again!

The plug of Tank-O3

Connecting the power wires to the green plug

Remove approx. 1 cm cable insulation at the end of both

power cables and twist the wires together. Now press the

supplied awl into the bottom right hole (so under the orange

clip), making it possible to insert the + (pos) cable in the top

hole. The + (pos) cable is the wire with the white line in it!

By pulling back the awl, the + (pos) cable is clamped.

Repeat this operation to insert the all black - (minus) cable

on the left.

The Tank-O3 ow controller

Explanation of the indications on the ow controller:

LED light Meaning What you can do:

Green: Power System in use

Green + Red: Short circuit Short circuit, replace cell nucleus

(at the earliest after 6 months!) or

Bad contact, check the connections as follows:

Green always burns......... BUT IF THE RED LIGHT ALSO BURNS:

Check connection of current regulator to electrolytic cell, is it installed according to regulations ?

See Instruction video on www.tank-o3.com “Instruction manual”

A lot of limescale on the cell? Check at least once every 2 to 4 weeks.

Clean if necessary! See www.tank-o3.com “Cleaning tips”

The hose is not pressed tight enough, does this cause water to enter the hose?

Or is the O-ring not mounted?

Result: short circuit at the plug that plugs into the electrolysis cell.

Solution: dry both the plug and the inside of the electrolytic cell (by blowing). Push the plug back into the electrolytic cell,

turn the plug up and down a few times so that the contact is properly restored. And of course now press the hose strong

and well!

If a clamp is not properly secured, there is too little power to the electrolytic cell!

Solution: See below.

The clamp is not properly pressed (after replacement!) So check that the clamp’s legs are tight. Press each leg of the clamp

rmly onto a hard surface until you hear a click. Now the clamp is tight!

Short circuit in the cell nucleus or cell nucleus used up? Replace cell nucleus, see www.tank-o3.com “Replace the cell nucleus”
