CLEANING THE OZONE INJECTOR (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)
On occasion, a mineral build-up may clog the ozone injector, causing a lack of flow, or low flow of ozone bubbles. To prevent this, refer to the
following instructions to clean the injector:
1. Disconnect power to the spa.
2. Access the equipment compartment.
3. Locate the ozonator in the equipment compartment and unplug the ozonator from the control box.
4. Place 16 ounces of white vinegar into a container such as a cup or bucket. Place the container on the equipment compartment floor.
NOTE: White vinegar will not damage any of the spa components.

6. Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.
7. Reconnect power to the spa.
8. Run the spa until all 16 ounces of the vinegar are gone. This should allow an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the
blockage.
9. Disconnect power to the spa.
10. Remove the empty cup or bucket.
11. Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.
12. Plug the ozonator into the control box.
13. Close the equipment compartment door.
14. Reconnect power to the spa.
DOS AND DON’TS
• DOuseonlyagranularformofsanitizer.
• DOaddallchemicalsslowlyinto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surface.
• DON’Tuseswimmingpool(muriatic)acidtolowerpH.
• DON’TsplashpHincreaseradditivesontheEverwood
®
cabinet.
• 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 easily can 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.
WARNING: 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.
• 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).
Water Quality and Maintenance
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 the adapters, fittings or tubing of
the ozonator or injector air lines.
