Ozanator works great, when tub is off the line fills with water and leaks out of the
bottom of the oz box, there is a valve looking device in the tube but is pvc glued and would have to cut it off, could this be the problem ,,,no leaks when running but off it leaks like a sinking ship.
Thanks for any hints or fixes..

Hey Tom,

Your ozone generator is simply an Ultra Violet Light in a box.
The tubing is attached from the box to a vacuum source (usually a dedicated jet, or Mazzie Injector). When the pump is running, air (infused withe Ozone Gas) is being drawn through the tubing, and spat out into the tub.
This is a "one way affair" :wink:
If water gets into the Ozone Generator, it will trash it. (110 volt transformer to 12 volt bulb in socket...)
That's why we have fail safes in place.
The first is the "Glued in Piece" called a check valve.
http://spapartsnet.com/Ozone-Generators ... 4_1_1.html
This is a diaphragm fitting only allowing a vacuum to occur. Unfortunately, Ozone eats it up.
The second (and probably missing in your case) is a "Hartford Loop"
This is where the ozone tubing travels above the water line a few times to make it impossible (in conjunction with a functioning check valve) for water to enter the ozone generator. :shock:

Replace the check valve, and lengthen the tubing to incorporate a Hartford loop. :)

Hey , I raised the 3/8 tubing and used some Redneck inginuity and "duck taped it up and it quit leaking, but the other nite it just quit - Baahm, stopped and the gfci breaker keept tripping along with me ---Oh NO!!!

No leak and it starts right up ,heating now ,waiting for my honey to get here so she can float and giggle her top while sippin on some moon shine....


Just kidding of course ,JUst happy that it works.
Thanks
For yur help.
Rocky
