4. Postavljanje i instalacija

Installation of the Clarathon HCD-55 Ozonator is considered moderate difficulty. If you are not comfortable with electrical or plumbing work, consult a qualified professional.

4.1 Koraci prije instalacije

1. Isključite napajanje: Turn off all power to your hot tub or spa at the circuit breaker.
2. Locirajte područje instalacije: Choose a dry, protected location for the ozonator unit, away from direct water spray and excessive heat. Ensure there is enough space for mounting and tubing connections.
3. Identify Ozone Injector: Locate your spa's existing ozone injector (venturi) in the plumbing system. This is where the ozone tubing will connect.

4.2 Mounting the Ozonator

• Mount the ozonator unit vertically, if possible, to allow for proper drainage and air circulation.
• Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to secure the unit to a stable surface.

4.3 Tubing and Check Valve Connection

1. Connect one end of the 1/4" ozone tubing to the ozone output barb on the ozonator unit. Secure with a hose clamp.
2. Install the check valve into the ozone tubing. The arrow on the check valve must point towards the spa's ozone injector, ensuring ozone flows into the water and preventing water from flowing back into the ozonator. Secure both ends of the check valve with hose clamps.
3. Connect the other end of the ozone tubing to your spa's ozone injector barb. Secure with a hose clamp.
4. Create a small loop in the ozone tubing above the water line to act as a water trap, further preventing water from reaching the ozonator.

4.5 Nakon instalacije

• Once installation is complete, restore power to the spa.
• Check for any leaks in the plumbing connections.
• Verify that the ozonator is operating. A faint ozone smell near the spa's water surface or a small indicator light on the unit (if present) may confirm operation.

5. Uputstvo za upotrebu

The Clarathon HCD-55 Ozonator operates automatically when power is supplied through the spa's control system. It is designed to work in conjunction with your spa's filtration cycles.

• Automatski rad: The ozonator will activate and generate ozone during the spa's programmed filtration cycles. No manual intervention is typically required for daily operation.
• Dual Setpoints: The HCD-55 offers dual ozone output setpoints (50mg/Hr and 200mg/Hr). The unit automatically adjusts its output based on the spa's requirements or may be pre-set to one of these levels. Consult your spa's manual or Clarathon support for specific details on setpoint selection if applicable to your model.
• Proizvodnja ozona: Ozone is produced by an internal corona discharge cell. This ozone is then injected into the spa water via the venturi system, assisting in water sanitation.

7. Otkrivanje problema

If your Clarathon HCD-55 Ozonator is not performing as expected, consider the following:

• No Ozone Smell/Output:
  • Verify power is supplied to the spa and the ozonator's power cord is securely connected.
  • Check if the spa's filtration cycle is active, as the ozonator typically operates during these times.
  • Inspect the ozone tubing for kinks, blockages, or damage.
  • Ensure the check valve is installed correctly and not blocked.
  • If the unit is older than 30 months, its ozone production may have significantly decreased, requiring replacement.
• Water in Ozone Tubing/Ozonator:
  • Immediately disconnect power to the ozonator and spa.
  • Inspect the check valve for proper installation and function. Replace if faulty.
  • Ensure the tubing loop (water trap) is correctly positioned above the water line.
