4. Carefully loosen the long clear tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.

A liquid substance may be found inside the tubing. If a liquid substance is present, BE

CERTAIN NOT TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE LIQUID (SEE WARNING ON THE NEXT PAGE)

5. Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.

6.  Reconnect power to the spa.
7.  Run the spa until all 0.5 liter of the vinegar is gone. This should allow an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the blockage.
8.  Disconnect power to the spa.
9.  Remove the empty cup or bucket.
10.  Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.
11.  Close the equipment compartment door.
12.  Reconnect power to the spa.
The

MONARCH

ozone system is practically maintenance-free because it is located within the spa’s equipment compartment. If bubbles are appearing at the spa’s

heater return, but the water is not as clear as usual, then the operation of the ozone generator should be checked. Carefully open the equipment compartment door

(remember to use care, as power is still connected to the spa) and verify that the CD tube and its transformer are energized (a slight buzz will be emitted from the ozone

generator housing). If a slight buzz or hum is not audible, verify that the generator is completely plugged into the spa’s control box.

WARNING:

Contact your

CALDERA

dealer if your spa requires troubleshooting beyond the scope of this manual.

MONARCH

ozone systems should only be serviced

by a qualified technician.

WARRANTY NOTE:

Cleaning of the ozone injector is not covered under the warranty. Refer to the Ozone section of this manual for ozone injector cleaning instructions.

DOS AND DON’TS

•

DON’T use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.

•

DON’T splash pH increaser additives on the siding.

•

DON’T use Compressed Sanitizers.

•

The use of bromine sticks or tablets in floaters, which may become entrapped in a lounge or cooling seat (or sink to the spa floor), have been shown to cause

discoloration of or surface distress to a spa’s shell.

•

DON’T use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance solution to your spa maintenance program.

The spa shell can easily withstand the effects of a properly administered sanitizer. Floating dispensers can become trapped in one area and cause an over-sanitization

(or chemical burn) of that particular area.
If the dispenser setting is too high, the high concentration can discolor the spa shell and damage the underside of the cover.
Automatic floating dispensers have a tendency to either over-brominate or under-brominate as the rate of erosion varies greatly. Damage to the spa and cover can occur

very quickly.

IIMPORTANT:

Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not recommend the use of any floating chemical dispenser. Damage to the spa shell or components caused by

a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.

•

DO add all chemicals slowly into or in front of the filter compartment with the jet pump operating for ten minutes.

•

DO use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or exterior plastic surfaces. DON’T use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.

•

DON’T use household bleach (liquid sodium hypochlorite).

•

DON’T broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface. This method may cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering (chemical abuse).

•

DON’T use only a granular form of bromine sanitizer with ozone.

NITRIC ACID ACCUMULATES IN THE AIR LINES OF THE OZONATOR

AND INJECTOR. NITRIC ACID WILL CAUSE SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS

IF DIRECT SKIN CONTACT IS MADE, SO ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE

GLOVES, GLASSES AND CLOTHING WHEN WORKING ON THE OZONATOR

OR INJECTOR LINES. TO PREVENT INHALATION OR INGESTION OF THE

NITRIC ACID, DO NOT BLOW OR INHALE WITH YOUR MOUTH TO ANY OF
