MONARCH
®
OZONE SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The Monarch high output ozone system is the only ozone purification system approved for installation in your Caldera
®
spa. The Monarch ozone system utilizes Corona
Discharge (CD) technology to produce a higher concentration of ozone than is produced by competing ultraviolet light (UV) ozone systems.
The Monarch high output ozone system greatly enhances the quality of the spa water when used to supplement the spa owner’s regular water maintenance program.
Contrary to some information circulated throughout the pool and spa industry regarding ozone systems, ozone be used as a single-source sanitizer, water clarifier, anti-
foamer, and mineral chelating agent. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends following the SPA FROG
®
sanitizing system when using an ozone purification
system to assure water sanitation and the highest quality of purified water.
Cleaning the Ozone Injector
On occasion, a mineral build up may clog the ozone injector, causing a lack of flow or low flow, of ozone bubbles. To prevent this, refer to the following instructions to
clean the injector:
Disconnect power to the spa.1.
Access the equipment compartment. 2.
Place 16 ounces of white vinegar into a container such as a cup or bucket. Place the container on the equipment compartment floor. NOTE: White vinegar will not 3.
damage any of the spa components.
Carefully loosen the long tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.4. A liquid substanve may be found inside the tubing. If a liquid substance is present, BE
CERTAIN NOT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID (SEE WARNING BELOW)
Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.5.
Reconnect power to the spa.6.
Run the spa until all 16 ounces of the vinegar are gone. This should allow an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the blockage.7.
Disconnect power to the spa.8.
Remove the empty cup or bucket.9.
Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.10.
Close the equipment compartment door.11.
