HOW THE DEL SPA OZONATOR WORKS The Spa Eclipse Platinum ozonator that you have just purchased is a highoutput 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.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING Note: For ozonators equipped with a standard “three-prong” plug (NEMA 515P), the ozonator must be mounted above the water line, at least five (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.
OZONE SUPPLY TUBING CONNECTION LOCATIONS: OZONE-READY SPAS If your spa is factory equipped with an ozone injection point, follow the manufacturer’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.
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 flexible PVC pipe, an appropriately sized PVC tee fitting, with the center having 1/2” female threads (not included) must be installed (see Figure 3). The plastic hose connector threads into the tee fitting. The plastic hose connector can be purchased from your dealer using DEL part number 7-0127 (see Figure 7).
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 flex tube approximately 3” to 4” from the air control valve. Install an appropriately sized PVC reducer fitting (not included), with 1/2” female threads on one end. Be sure to use FLEX-TO-RIGID- PVC Cement whenever working with PVC flex tubing.
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, filter 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.
See ELECTRICAL CONNECTION to complete installation. When the final electrical connections are completed, refill the spa to its normal operating level (check for leaks as the spa is filling), and turn the power back on. Proceed to the DEL SUCTION TEST section before final 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.
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 filter: Clean the filter and test again 2. Clogged jets: Clean and test again 3. Closed adjustable jets: Open completely and test again 4. Jet nozzle orifices too small: Remove orifice reducers or drill larger orifices. 5. Injector Manifold installed before heater or pump: All Injector Manifolds must be installed AFTER all spa support equipment.
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 flapper valve in the strainer basket housing, the pump may lose its prime on an injector installation. Most pump/filter 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, filter, heater, etc.
TROUBLE SHOOTING SYMPTOM: Cloudy water condition even though the unit appears to be operating properly. PROBABLE CAUSE 1. Unit and pump not operating long enough 2. Total alkalinity not correct 3. pH not correctly balanced 4. Not enough suction CORRECTIVE ACTION 1A.Increase operating time (min. 6 hours is recommended) 2A. Adjust total alkalinity betw. 80-150 ppm 3A. Check for proper pH betw. 7.2-7.6 4A. Perform DEL Suction Test.
