How
the System Works
The
system consists of three major components: Ozone generator, in-line
mixer and filter module:
The
ozone generator either plugs into a standard receptacle (120v-60hz
model) or is hardwired (230v-60hz model). It has an air pump which
provides compressed air to an ultraviolet ozone producing lamp,
thus producing compressed ozone.
The
mixer installs into the well pump water feed pipe to your holding
tank. The ozone gas is routed from the ozone generator, through
the mixer, to the filter module within your holding tank. When your
well pump turns on to provide water to your tank, the mixer automatically
diverts and mixes the ozone gas into the incoming well water before
the water enters your tank.
The
filter module hangs below the water surface inside your holding
tank, includes a 100 square foot filter, a lift pipe and a diffuser
(bubble maker). The ozone gas from the mixer is fed to the filter
module diffuser, which makes millions of tiny ozone saturated bubbles
that rise up the filter module lift pipe, mixing the ozone with
the water and drawing water through the filter at the rate of about
10 gallons per minute. As the ozone saturated bubbles exit the lift
pipe, the bubbles rise up through your holding tank water, continuing
the ozone/water adsorption process and circulating the contents
of your holding tank.
HOLDING
TANK SIZE
One
TWTS-101 system is designed to purify the water in a tank of up
to 10,000 gallons with normal contaminant levels. Larger tanks will
require multiple systems.
As
a rule, the maximum water usage should never exceed 25% of the tank
capacity in a 24 hour period. A typical family of 4 uses about 350
gallons per day and should therefore have a minimum 1500 gallon
tank.
Installation
FILTER
MODULE INSTALLATION
Prepare
the filter module for installation into the tank:
- Attach
the handle/diffuser assembly to the filter top by feeding the
diffuser hose down into the filter module lift pipe and attaching
the quick dis- connect.
- Attach
the stainless steel chain (provided) to the captive chain on the
handle by crimping the end link onto the top link of the handle
chain.
- Connect
the Norprene hose (dull black rubber like hose) to the barb located
on top of the filter module handle. Using the black wire ties
provided, gently tie the Norprene hose at one foot intervals to
the stainless steel chain. Do not over tighten the wire ties as
this will crush the hose and reduce ozone flow.
Prepare
the tank for installation
of the filter module:
- Drill
a 3/16 inch hole through the manhole flange nearest the center
of the tank.
- Insert
the provided #8 bolt through the manhole flange from the outside
of the manhole and secure in place with one of the #8 nuts provided.
Do not discard second #8 nut, this will be used later.
- On
the side of the manhole flange, at the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock
position (12 o'clock is the side of the manhole closest to the
center of the tank as viewed from the top), drill a 5/16 inch
hole through the manhole flange.
Install
the filter module in the tank:
IMPORTANT:
THE BOTTOM OF THE FILTER MODULE SHOULD BE AT A MAXIMUM DEPTH OF
8 FEET BELOW THE HIGHEST TANK WATER LEVEL, BUT NOT CLOSER THAN 1/2
FOOT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK TO PREVENT STIRRING UP SEDIMENT.
- Slowly
lower the filter module down into the water. For deep tanks (water
depths of 9 feet or more), position the bottom of the filter module
8 feet below the highest water level. For shallow tanks (water
depth less than about 8-1/2 feet), lower the filter module down
into the tank until it touches bottom, pull back up 1/2 foot.
- Remove
excess chain and attach chain to the #8 bolt with second #8 nut.
- Insert
the 90 degree hose barb fitting through the 5/16 inch hole in
the side of the manhole flange from the outside of the manhole,
and attach the 3/16 inch black Norprene hose to the barb, cutting
off excess Norprene hose as appropriate.
MIXER
INSTALLATION
The mixer
installs into the well water feed pipe to your tank. For above ground
tanks, the mixer should be installed at about the same vertical level
as the filter module (the bottom of the mixer should be at about the
same level as the bottom of the filter module). For buried tanks,
the mixer can be mounted anywhere above the ground. The mixer can
be mounted in any orientation.
The mixer has a 1 inch PVC slip input (lower) and a 1-1/2 inch
slip output (upper). To maximize the effectiveness of the mixer,
1-1/2 inch pipe should be run from the top of the mixer, up the
side of the tank to the point of water introduction into the tank.
If this is not possible, the 1-1/2 inch pipe should be run at least
3 to 4 feet from the top of the mixer before converting to the existing
water well feed pipe, thus providing a "mixing chamber" for the
ozone gas.
Glue the mixer in place in the well water feed line:
- Determine vertical location of the mixer.
- Cut the water pipe in appropriate location. Using PVC fittings,
glue the water feed pipe (from the well pump) to the bottom input
of the mixer. NOTE - MAKE SURE THE MIXER IS CORRECTLY POSITIONED
WITH THE ARROW ON THE BYPASS CHECK VALVE POINTING IN THE DIRECTION
OF WATER FLOW.
- Using appropriate PVC fittings, install 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe
from the top of the mixer to the tank water input fitting.
Ozone hose installation:
- Using the glossy black vinyl hose (50 foot coil supplied), route
the hose from the 3/16 inch barb in the manhole to the top 0 psi
(white) check valve, wrapping the vinyl hose around the 1-1/2
inch water feed pipe for a neat installation. NOTE: If it is cold
outside, heating the vinyl hose slightly with a match will make
it easier to slip onto the barb fittings.
- Connect the 6 psi (red) check valve hose to the venturi eductor
barb.
Freeze Protection:
The mixer assembly is subject to freezing as is the water feed
pipe from the well. In freezing climates, insulate well. Use "heat
tape" in severe climates.
OZONE GENERATOR INSTALLATION
The ozone generator can be mounted up to 200 feet from the holding
tank; 50 feet of black vinyl hose is supplied which is more than
adequate for most installations. Consult factory if additional hose
and connectors are needed.
The generator construction is rain tight and can be mounted indoors
or outdoors. Good ventilation is required since the generator creates
heat.
- Remove generator can lid.
- Mount the can to a solid vertical surface (wall, etc.) with
the 3 screws supplied. Two screws are used to mount the can hanging
tabs, and one screw is used to attach the can back to the mounting
surface through the 1/4 inch hole provided in the back of the
can.
- Write installation date on sticker located on the inside of
the can lid.
- Route the 3/16 black vinyl hose from the ozone generator to
the lower 0 psi (white) check valve of the mixer. Be sure to route
the hose so it will not become accidentally damaged.
- If your generator is cord connected, plug the ozone generator
into a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. Use a waterproof
receptacle/plug cover if installed outdoors. If your generator
is the 230v hard wired version, wire according to local and national
codes.
STARTING UP YOUR SYSTEM
Recheck your installation to verify that it is correct. Turn ON
the ozone generator. You should hear a faint hum - this is the air
pump. A faint blue-green glow should be visible through the lens
near the top center of the generator can - this indicates the UV
lamp is ON and the system is producing ozone. NOTE: The UV lamp
may not fire up immediately if the ambient temperature is below
40 degrees F, and may never fire in extreme cold. However, once
lit, the lamp will stay lit in extreme cold.
Proceed to the tank manhole - you should see a full pattern of
bubbles rising up from the filter module. This may take a few seconds
to develop since the entire ozone hose system must be pressurized.
Now turn ON your well pump. The bubble pattern inside the tank
should decrease or stop completely. This indicates that the ozone
gas is correctly being diverted to the mixer. If you see no change
in the bubble pattern in the tank, recheck your installation and
make sure the ozone hose is correctly installed and the mixer is
installed with the flow arrows pointing in the direction of water
flow.
If the installation is correct, it is possible that your well pump
cannot create enough pressure to fully activate the mixer. With
the well pump ON, pull off the black Norprene hose from the venturi
eductor barb - you should be able to feel suction on the venturi
barb indicating that the mixer is working. Reinstall the Norprene
hose.
If no suction is detected, check for debris in the mixer. The mixer
bypass valve is factory set to 15 psi. If your well pump cannot
produce more than 15 psi, the water flow into your tank will all
pass through the venturi eductor and your well water feed flow rate
will be reduced. This is no cause for alarm as reducing the water
flow rate will not harm your well pump.
