.  Open the 

Pit Return Valve 3

 and close the 

Water Outlet Valve 2

 to allow water to flow back to the pit for continual 

recycling.

2.  Be certain all hoses are securely connected. 
3.  Be certain the incoming air tube to the 

ozone Generator (5)

 is not obstructed.

WX-OPTION:

   Be certain all switches on the 

Control panel (23) 

are in the "OFF" position.

4.  plug the pump plug into the piggyback plug and then into the grounded outlet on the 

Control panel (23)

5.  plug the power supply cord into a grounded outlet.  Turn on the 

power Supply Switch (21)

.  

STarT-Up:

1.  Ensure the pit is filled with water.
2.  Turn on the 

Sump pump Switch (22)

.  Water will flow into the 

oil/Water/Solids Separator (7)

.

3.  Turn on the switch located on the 

ozone Generator (5)

.

4.  Flow  can be increased by opening the 

Water Inlet Flow Control Valve 1.

  Fill the 

oil/Water/Solids Separator (7)

.

5.  As the water fills the 

Holding Tank (14)

, it will begin to flow out the 

Overflow Drain (15)

 at the top of the tank.  at 

this point, flow can be adjusted with the 

Water Inlet Flow Control Valve 1

.  Maximum flow is achieved when the water 

level remains constant in the 

Holding Tank (15)

.

6.  Water is now completely cycled in the system.

Before proceeding, answer all the questions on this checklist.
