The provided manual describes the Clear O3™ Water Purifying System, specifically focusing on the Air-Flow Meter Instructions for this ozone-based purification system. The system utilizes ozone for water purification, aiming to provide "Ozone Pure Water" for pools.

Function Description:

The Clear O3™ Water Purifying System is designed to purify pool water using ozone. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that can effectively sanitize water, reducing the need for traditional chemical treatments. The air-flow meter, which is the primary subject of these instructions, is a crucial component for ensuring the correct operation of the ozone generator. It allows installers and owners to monitor and adjust the air flow into the ozone unit, which directly impacts the ozone production and its effectiveness in water purification. The air-flow meter helps to establish and maintain an optimal flow rate of 4 CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour) for the system.

Important Technical Specifications:

While the manual does not provide a comprehensive list of technical specifications for the entire Clear O3™ system, it does detail the components and tubing related to the air-flow meter:

• Flow Meter: The primary component for measuring air flow. It has a graduated scale, likely in SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour), with markings up to 10.
• Tubing:
  • 3/8" OD X 1/4" ID X 1ft Tubing (likely for connecting to the flow meter or pump/standpipe).
  • 1/2" OD X 3/8" ID X 6" Tubing (purpose not explicitly stated but likely for other connections within the system).
• Part Number for Flow Meter: 004-402-3868-00.
• Flow Rate Setting: The target air flow rate for optimal operation is 4 CFH.
• Compression Fitting: The Clear O3™ unit has a 3/8" compression fitting on its bottom left end for tubing connection.
• Mounting Requirements: The unit must be mounted near pool equipment, at least one (1) foot above the maximum water level, and a minimum of five (5) feet from the pool itself.
• Electrical: Requires electrical hookup by a qualified licensed electrician and proper grounding to the pool equipment bonding system.
• Ventilation: If installed in an enclosed space, adequate ventilation must be accounted for due to the production of ozone gas.

Usage Features (Installation and Operation of Air-Flow Meter):

The manual provides a step-by-step guide for setting the air flow, which is an essential part of the system's initial setup:

1. Preparation: Clean the filter and pump basket before starting.
2. Valve Closure: Turn the knob on the needle valve clockwise to fully close it.
3. Flow Meter Connection: Insert the air-flow meter's tube over the 3/8" tubing connected to the pump or standpipe.
4. Power On: Turn on the power to the filter pump.
5. Priming: Hold a finger over the inlet hole of the flow meter and start the pump, waiting until it primes completely.
6. Initial Reading: Remove the finger from the inlet hole and note the reading on the flow meter.
7. Flow Adjustment: Turn the knob on the needle valve counter-clockwise to increase the air flow.
8. Target Flow Rate: Continue adjusting until a flow rate of 4 CFH is achieved on the flow meter.
9. Final Connection: Remove the flow meter and insert the end of the tubing into the 3/8" compression fitting on the bottom left end of the Clear O3™ unit.
10. Securing Tubing: Use provided wire ties to secure the loose tubing to the conduit or plumbing.

Safety Instructions:

The manual emphasizes several critical safety instructions:

• Electrical Safety: All electrical codes must be followed. Electrical hookup should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician. Power must be turned off at the main source before any electrical connections or servicing. The unit must be properly grounded to the pool equipment bonding system.
• Personal Protective Equipment: ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using power equipment during installation.
• Ozone Gas Hazard: Inhaling ozone gas is hazardous to health. Do not inhale gas produced by this unit. Ensure adequate ventilation if installed in an enclosed space.
• UV Light Hazard: The UV light produced by the unit is harmful to the eyes and can cause blindness. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT A LIT BULB!
• Installation Location: Mount the unit at least one foot above the maximum water level and a minimum of five feet from the pool.
• Documentation: Installers must read and follow all instructions, give them to the facility owner, and follow all applicable codes and regulations for suction outlet fittings. The instructions should be retained and delivered to the pool owner upon completion of installation.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features for the Clear O3™ system itself, beyond the initial cleaning of the filter and pump basket as part of the air-flow setting procedure. However, the importance of maintaining the correct air flow (4 CFH) suggests that periodic checks of the flow meter might be necessary to ensure continued optimal performance of the ozone generator. The general advice to "Read and follow these instructions" implies that proper installation and initial setup are key to the system's long-term function.
