1.2 Sanitation Warning: Safe Use of Ozone
Important Information about Ozone Use and Safety
Ozone generating systems play a crucial role in water treatment by introducing
ozone gas into the water. It’s important to understand the characteristics and
precautions associated with ozone use to ensure the safety and effectiveness
of water treatment processes.
· Nature of Ozone: o Ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms per
molecule and can be readily dissolved in water.
· Odorless Aqueous Ozone: o When gaseous ozone is dissolved in water, it
becomes aqueous ozone, which is odorless.
· Versatile Benefits: o Ozone serves various purposes, including antimicrobial
oxidation for supplemental treatment and secondary disinfection. o It aids in
the oxidation of organic and inorganic contaminants. o Ozone also helps reduce
chlorine byproducts and can contribute to algae reduction.
· Additional Functions: o Ozone can act as a micro-flocculant, aiding in the
removal of small particles. o It also functions as an anti-foaming agent,
helping maintain water clarity.
· Low Residual Presence: o Ozone leaves little to no residual presence in a
pool or spa. Therefore, it is used alongside an EPA-registered primary
sanitizer for comprehensive water treatment.
· Chloramine Control: o Ozone offers the added benefit of destroying
chloramines, which are compounds formed by the reaction of chlorine with
organic and nitrogenous substances. o The use of ozone can lead to reduced
chlorine consumption.
· Compliance with NSF/ANSI Standard 50: o It is essential to comply with
industry standards. NSF/ANSI Standard 50 mandates the use of ozone in
conjunction with chlorine for water treatment.
Safety Precautions:
· Ozone generators should be installed, operated, and maintained by trained
professionals. · Always follow manufacturer instructions for the safe use of
ozone-generating systems. · Regularly monitor and maintain ozone levels to
ensure effective water treatment. · Avoid direct inhalation of ozone gas, as
it may have adverse health effects. · Educate all personnel involved in water
treatment about ozone safety practices.
**Additional Warning:
· Regular Ozone Tubing Inspection: o Regularly check ozone tubing to ensure it
is intact and without breaches. o Any breaching or damage to ozone tubing can
lead to the release of ozone gas, which is dangerous when inhaled. o Breaches
in tubing may cause harm due to the potential release of ozone into the air.

readily available at local hardware stores, pool supply stores, and online at
Amazon.
Step 2: Turn on your ozone o It’s recommended that you set you ozone pump to
run for 2 minutes 5 minutes minimum. This frequency will efficiently help
sanitize the water in your plunge. Note: The effectiveness of ozone is
dependent on balanced water. If the water in your plunge has unbalanced pH or
Alkalinity your ozone will become less effective.
Step 3: Treat your water IMPORTANT: Leaving your water untreated can cause
rapid erosion to the system and is not covered under warranty. Additionally,
it’s incredibly harmful to the skin to bathe in corrosive water. o Add a 1 tsp
of spa shock oxidizer granular (or the recommended ppm of liquid, tablets, or
other oxidizer form). o Wait 15 minutes. o Test your water. Use a test strip
following instructions on bottle. o Ideal Total Alkalinity Range: 125-150 ppm
o Ideal pH is between 7.2 and 7.8. o Adjust your water using Alkalinity and/or
pH increaser/decreaser. o Wait 15 minutes before making any adjustments. o
Adjust 1 tsp at a time and retest after 15 minutes. Repeat until you have the
ideal results. o We highly endorse using a water conditioner after balancing
your water. This will lock in your pH & Alkalinity levels for extended periods
of time. o Test your water daily and adjust as needed.
Step 4: Change your filter IMPORTANT: It’s recommended that you change your
filter every 20 plunges, or as needed. o Turn your pump off. o Close your
inlet/outlet valves on your plunge. o Use the filter wrench to unscrew the
filter housing. o Dispose of the old filter. o Replace with a new filter, then
screw filter housing back on. NOTE: Make sure the gasket on the filter housing
is properly in place before screwing the filter housing back on. Failure to do
so could result in water damage when turning the chiller back on.
Step 5: Test your water o It’s recommended that you test your water daily, or
as needed. o It’s recommended that you contact your local pools & spas dealer
to complete a comprehensive lab water test and chemical maintenance protocol.
Step 6: Change your water o It’s recommended that you change the water in your
tub weekly, or as needed. o Once your water is foggy or highly unbalanced, you
must change the water immediately.
3.6 Unit Maintenance
Maintenance Checklist:
· Regular cleaning: o Wipe down the exterior and fan regularly to prevent dust
and debris from entering the system. o We highly endorse getting a small water
vacuum to clean debris, especially for outdoor units.
· Pump inspection: o Periodically inspect the pump for any signs of damage or
abnormal noise. If it becomes noisy, or triggers a water flow malfunction,
it’s likely time to replace your filter.
· Hose and fitting examination: o Inspect hose connections and fittings for
leaks or damage. Tighten or replace as necessary.
· Water level maintenance: o Maintain the appropriate water level to ensure
proper circulation and prevent damage to the chiller.
· Winterization (if applicable): o Properly winterize the chiller if used in
cold climates, to prevent freezing and damage during winter months. o
IMPORTANT: Freezing parts are not covered under warranty.
3.7 Troubleshooting
My chiller won’t turn on · Try hitting the reset button on your GFCI adapter
on the back of your chiller. · Try resetting your GFCI outlet. · Check the
breaker in your home.
Water flow failure · Replace your filter. When the filter is clogged it will
often trigger this failure. · Clean your hair strainer. Make sure that the
hair strainer is not clogged.
My chiller keeps turning off · Make sure your reset button isn’t in a high
traffic area, where it may be getting accidentally pushed. · Check your
breaker. Make sure you are on a dedicated 15AMP breaker switch. · Check your
electrical box for any moisture. o If moisture is discovered in the electrical
box if could be one of two things: 1. There is a breach in your electrical box
somewhere. Check for damage or improper seal when it’s closed or cracks in the
box. 2. The check valve on your ozone tubing has failed. This would allow a
small amount of water to enter the electrical box and would trigger your GFCI
to shut the system off. If you see water coming through the small ¼” clear
tubing and entering your electrical box, turn off your unit and reach out to
Dynamic Cold Therapy for a replacement part.
My chiller is leaking · It’s likely condensation. A small puddle of
condensation is to be expected daily. It’s best to wipe it down once per day
to avoid moisture buildup. · Test to see if the water level is getting lower
in your plunge tub. Mark it and check again the next day · If your leak is
significant, please reach out to Dynamic Cold Therapy customer service
directly.
