CORONA DISCHARGE (CD) OZONE SYSTEMS
Ozone is manufactured in the CD ozone generator by drawing in air, which is composed of 20% oxygen
(O
2
), and exposing it to multiple high voltage electrical discharges. This causes a percentage of the oxygen
molecules to dissociate and reassemble as ozone (O
3
). The corona discharge method is the most efcient
way to produce large amounts of ozone.

Chemical Formula (simplied)
for Corona Discharge Ozone
In contrast to ultraviolet ozone generators, corona discharge systems produce a much higher concentration
of ozone and in much larger quantities. In addition, the annual expense of replacing lamps and checking
ballasts is unnecessary with corona discharge systems. Corona discharge ozone generation is the most
economical and effective method to use on most water treatment applications.
ClearWater Tech manufactures high output corona discharge systems capable of producing enough ozone
to oxidize iron, sulde, manganese and act as an efcient sanitizer in a variety of applications. Ozone
reacts to water-borne contaminants signicantly faster than other disinfectants and the primary by-product
is pure oxygen.
ClearWater Tech ozone systems are built with the nest components available. All are air cooled and are
most efcient when used with a venturi injection system to create the best possible contact and mixing of
ozone while maintaining a high level of safety.
UNCRATING and INSPECTION
Shipping Terms
Unless special arrangements have been made, the ozone equipment will be shipped FOB ClearWater
Tech's factory in San Luis Obispo, CA. The freight charges will be prepaid and billed or shipped freight
collect. Transfer of liability to the freight company and the customer occurs as the equipment leaves the
factory loading dock and is accepted by the freight line.
Freight Inspection
All equipment should be thoroughly inspected immediately upon delivery. If any damage is noticed,
promptly notify the freight line and request an on-site inspection.
Unpacking
Typically, the equipment will arrive on a pallet. Compare the components with the packing list. Thoroughly
inspect all packing materials prior to discarding. Inspect all plumbing ttings and tubing for packing mate-
rial inadvertently lodged in any openings.
Placement of Equipment
Select a location for the ozone equipment that is as close as possible to the ozone injection point. Arrange
the components (ozone generator, air dryer and electrical interlock box, if so equipped) in a manner suitable
for convenient electrical access. The system component enclosures are not rain proof, so it is important to
choose a location that will keep the system away from direct weather and excessive heat.
Mounting holes are located on the back of all components for convenient wall mounting. Mounting hardware
is not provided.
ClearWater Tech air preparation and ozone generation systems Models M-1500 and P-2000 are a vacuum type and
will require adjustment of the air ow through the system. On the front of the electrical interlock box is a VAC/PSI
