™
application and the extra sanitizing power of
ultra-violet light, which in conjunction with
spa sanitizing and water balancing chemicals
provides you with cleaner, healthier water,
reduced chemical usage, and protects your
skin from chemically induced irritation.
Sanitizing with Ozone
PowerPool™ products vary in size, and in
the frequency and conditions of use. For
these reasons you will need to establish your
sanitizing program based upon your own
personal use. When using ozone, you should
start by balancing your water chemistry as
you normally would. A PowerPool™ should
be filtered a minimum of six hours per day
(Pgs. 19 and 21), during which time ozone will
be mixed into the water. If your PowerPool™
is heavily used, this run time should be
increased.
The amount of a residual sanitizer (chlorine
or bromine) that you maintain in the
water will also vary depending on use. It is
recommended that you maintain a residual
of 3.0–5.0 ppm. Periodically, and after periods
of heavy use, it is necessary to “shock” your
PowerPool™ with large amounts of sanitizer.
NOTE: Extra filtration can be provided by
manually starting a clean-up cycle. Turn
Pump 1 on in low speed. The pump will
operate for 4 hours and then automatically
turn off. The heater, ozone generator and UV
system will also operate during this period if
the controls are set in Standard mode.
Specialty Chemicals
While ozone may significantly reduce the
usage of specialty chemicals (chlorine and
bromine), it is not a substitute for these
chemicals. All chemicals should continue to be
monitored, especially during periods of heavy
usage and when changing or replenishing the
PowerPool™ water.
Draining your PowerPool™
NOTE: Always turn the circuit breaker off
when you drain your PowerPool™. Do not turn
the spa heater back on until you have full flow
coming from the jets for several minutes.
High concentrations of impurities caused by
water evaporation, body oils, perfumes, and
other contaminants may accumulate in the
PowerPool™ and cannot be filtered out.
NOTE: Consequently, it is advisable to drain
your PowerPool™ and refill it with fresh
water every six to eight weeks, or more
often depending on the amount of use.
All PowerPool™ products are equipped with
multiple internal drains. These drains are used
to remove water from internal plumbing,
when Winterizing your PowerPool™ (See pg.
27), or if the water is severely contaminated.
NOTE: Use a standard garden hose to direct
the water to an appropriate disposal area.
All
internal
drain hose(s) are located behind
the front access panel. Remove the access
panel screws and the access panel. Locate
the drain hose(s). For each hose drain valve,
remove the cap, attach the garden hose, and
turn the valve handles, located on the drain
valve body, 90° counter-clockwise. Water
will begin to flow. When all water has been
evacuated, turn the valve handle clockwise
until it stops. Remove garden hose and replace
the cap. Repeat for each internal drain hose.
