WARNING
Hot tub/Spa care and sanitizing is the sole responsibility of the owner. A residual sanitizer must be present to minimize cross contamination. Hot tubs/Spas are not intended to treat infections. Never allow use of hot tub/spa if you are unable to verify the condition of open sores, wounds, lesions, cuts, sores, abrasions, boil, etc. or infections of any type exist. The best industry practice is to maintain a minimum of 1 PPM residual chlorine sanitizer in the water at all times. The best industry practice will minimize the possibility of cross contamination; however; will not eliminate the possibility.
Note – even in high concentrations residual sanitizers such as chlorine are only 99.9% effective on most contaminants and extremely slow or ineffective on other contaminants.

Equipment Identification

Remove the equipment from the packaging. Care must be taken when handling the components. Do not drop the generator or sintered diffuser, as they are fragile. Identify the equipment components: Ozone Generator, Cycle Timer, Ozone Tube and Sintered Diffuser . aero-spa 102630 Various Kit
01

Equipment Identification

Please note that your product may vary from photos in this installation guide.

Model: AP 1000

Equipment Set-up

For best results it is highly recommended that the hot tub be drained and thoroughly cleaned to remove residual dirt and contaminants prior to installation of the Aero-Spa system. Set the equipment on a level solid spacer block that is at least 2 – 3/8” thick and at least 10’ from the hot tub that is not prone to flooding (equipment is weather proof but not waterproof ). aero-spa 102630 Various Kit 02

Unit Placement

If the supplied ozone tube is not of adequate length, move the equipment closer to the hot tub but not closer than 10’. Do not extend or shorten the ozone tube. If the tube is too long, coil the excess tube in an 8” diameter coil. Do not splice or modify the air line setup, an improperly sized ozone tube will detrimentally affect the performance and life of this product and may void the warranty!

Connect the 20’ ozone tube (connected to diffuser) to the fitting exiting the underside of the Generator. Secure using provided cable tie
Loop the ozone tube over the edge of the hot tub.Air Line installed in hinge with clear plastic protector sleeve
Align the ozone tube with the center seam of the cover and allow it to lie in the gap to ensure that it is not pinched when the cover is closed. The clear protector tube must be positioned in the gap (See Figure 3).
Lower the sintered diffuser into the hot tub and allow it to rest on the bottom. Resting the diffuser in front of the pump inlet(s) will draw the ozone through the piping system assisting in removing organic material in the piping system. If there is more than one pump inlet, moving the diffuser to each inlet is recommended.
Locate the closest electrical outlet on the house or garage that is at least 10’ from the hot tub that can be used to supply power to the equipment.
Insert the electrical plug from the Aero-Spa into provided cycle timer. Adjust the timer to operate 2 hours of run time 2 times per day. Adjust the timer based on your use habits. Reducing the run time while maintaining water clarity will maximize the equipment life and minimize power consumption.
Insert the electrical plug from the cycle timer into a GFCI (Type 15-5R) outlet. The equipment will begin to operate. You will hear a faint hum from the generator and a steady bubble stream will be emitted from the diffuser.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (type 5-15P). The plug must be plugged into an outlet (type 5-15R) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, contact Aero-Spa, LLC or a qualified electrician. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

DANGER:
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. No adapter should be used with this product. This product has an automatic thermal limiter, which shuts off the entire product when an elevated temperature condition exists. When the product cools it will automatically restart. Only if required, obtain a UL outdoor rated extension cord. Never locate the Aero-Spa generator closer than 10’ from the hot tub. In the event of a power outage, the GFCI device will need to be reset manually. Occasionally GFCI breakers will experience nuisance tripping. This will shut off the power to the equipment. If this occurs, press the “reset” button. If pressing the “reset” button does not start the equipment, unplug the cycle timer and press the “reset” button again. If the “reset” button does not “hold in”, replace the GFCI breaker. If the button does “hold in”, plug the generator power cord into the GFCI breaker and circumvent the cycle timer. Press the “reset” button again. If the “reset” button does not “hold in” replace the GFCI breaker. If the “reset” button does “hold in” contact Aero- Spa™.

Do not operate this equipment without a GFCI breaker installed.

Maintenance and Care

This product has no user serviceable parts. If service is required, contact Aero-Spa, LLC. Attempts to service the ozone generator will void the customer satisfaction policy, Limited Warranty, and expose the user to electrical shock which may cause severe injury or death. Keep the area around the product free of leaves and other debris. If debris enters the product through the air intake holes, unplug the product and carefully remove the debris. Restart product. The diffuser stone can be cleaned with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or muriatic acid.

Fill & Start-Up Recommendations

Our customers have been using the Aero-Spa system as the primary water treatment process for years with limited harsh chemicals. Because we cannot control how your hot tub is used/maintained and according to the EPA it is recommend maintaining at 1 – 2 PPM of an approved residual sanitizer to minimize cross contamination of users. Customers are responsible for monitoring and maintaining these levels. To put this into perspective, to obtain a 1 PPM ratio in a 500 gallon hot tub, you would need to add about 0.63 OZ (1.25 tablespoons) of regular household bleach (6% sodium hypochlorite). If you substitute swimming pool chlorine (10% – 15% sodium hypochlorite) you would need about half as much. The suggested method on fill and start-up would be to use sodium dichlor on the initial application of the sanitizer and then the first time you need to adjust the free chlorine. Any subsequent time the free chlorine needs to be adjusted use 0.63 OZ (1.25 tablespoons) of regular household bleach (6% sodium hypochlorite). The reason for this is that the sodium dichlor contains cyanuric acid (CYA) as a stabilizing agent. The CYA keeps the chlorine from degrading. If you continue to use sodium dichlor to raise the free chlorine, over time the CYA builds up in the water and makes the chlorine ineffective. The initial application of sodium dichlor will have enough CYA to stabilize the chlorine for the long run. This method will minimize maintenance and save you money! The easy formula is first and second application is sodium dichlor and all others bleach.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Aero-Spa not running / No bubble from sintered diffuser

Verify unit is receiving power
- Reset GFCI breaker.
- Reset circuit breaker at house fuse panel.
Bypass timer, if this corrects the problem, replace timer
Verify ozone tube is not broken, pinched, or disconnected
If these steps do not solve the problem call Aero-Spa, LLC

Water is cloudy
A condition typically associated with organic particulates from oils, soaps, or materials inside piping of the hot tub.

Increase runtime by (2) hours. Synchronize circulation pump and Aero-Spa run time.
Move diffuser in front of water inlets so ozone is circulated through piping system for 20 minutes. Repeat for each water inlet.
.Shock water with chlorine to bring the free chlorine level to 8 –10 PPM. Do not enter the water until the free chlorine level is less than 5 PPM.
If not resolved within (4) days, contact Aero-Spa, LLC

Strong ozone odor near Aero-Spa generator

Verify ozone tube is not broken
Verify ozone tube is not pinched or disconnected
Unplug unit and call Aero-Spa, LLC

Strong ozone odor in hot tub

Reduce cycle run time by 25%. Repeat if odor remains strong after 1 hour.
Unplug unit and call Aero-Spa, LLC

Ozone tube is cloudy in color and not flexible
This is normal, periodically check for cracks in ozone tube. Replacement parts are available from Aero-Spa, LLC

Sintered diffuser is turning brown
This is a result of the ozone precipitating the iron out of the water. It will not cause any issues with the operation of the diffuser. This typically occurs when the water used to fill the hot tub has high iron content. The diffuser can be soaked in “rust or stain remover” or similar product and rinsed thoroughly after soaking.

Brown ring at water line
This is normal when the water used to fill the hot tub has high iron content. Using “rust or stain remover” solution, wipe the rust stain with damp sponge containing rust or stain remover. Rinse sponge in solution periodically.

Light scale on surface
This occurs when the water used to fill the hot tub is hard. Using a sponge or “Scouring pad” pad, wipe surface to remove scale. Care should be used if using a “Scouring pad” pad to ensure the surface of the hot tub is not damaged. Recommend use of calcium or scale controller to lower Calcium Hardness

Light brown material on surface of hot tub walls
This occurs when the water is not adequately circulated in the hot tub. Using a sponge, wipe surface to remove scale.

Increase hot tub circulation pump cycle time. Synchronize circulation pump and Aero-Spa run time.

Water is normally clear but turns cloudy during or just after use

Increase the cycle run time by 25%
If these steps do not solve the problem within (4) days, contact Aero-Spa, LLC

Water back siphoned into the ozone tube and or the ozone generator.

A small amount of moisture can be considered normal in high humidity conditions and in such a case nothing needs to be done. If there is more than a few drops proceed to step 2. below
Turn off all power by unplugging Aero-Spa from the 120 volt power outlet. Remove the sintered diffuser from the hot tub and lay it on the ground at a lower elevation than the generator. Allow the unit to purge the water from the ozone tube. When complete, reinstall sintered diffuser in hot tub and make sure the air line is installed as described in the installation procedure.
If these steps do not solve the problem call Aero-Spa, LLC
