An ozonator produces ozone, which is drawn into the pool through the pipes. Ozone is a powerful sanitizer that will oxidize contaminants in the water.
When you purchase an ozonator with your pool, you'll receive a plumbing kit that will be attached to your plumbing during pool installation. The installers will also connect a green tube that will be connected to an ozone-producing box. To ensure the system is safe and effective, it's your responsibility to secure this box and the green tube attached to it above the pool's water level. Ideally, the tube should be replaced every year. Make sure the small arrow on the tube points toward the pipes and not the box.
To ensure the water is properly disinfected, an ozone system owner must also add a small amount of chlorine. To facilitate this addition, Trévi strongly recommends the use of a chlorinator or chlorine dispenser. These devices, which can be easily installed by the customer at a later date, allow for a constant distribution of chlorine throughout the pool using tablets inserted into a designated container.
When using a chlorinator, it is recommended to add a maximum of one or two chlorine tablets at a time and to set the flow rate to a high setting to avoid premature wear of the device. It is also essential to never use granular chlorine in this type of equipment, as this could cause a dangerous reaction.
