Jacuzzi 24 hour Curculation Pump ???

I think my Ozone system only operates during cleaning cycles.

I don't know if it shuts down if you soak during the cycles?

Hamrhed,

Actually.... Yes !   I would think that there is little real danger to humans in the water while the ozonator is running since it is such a small amount and dissapates rapidly.

In fact,  If you get into the tub without turning on the big pumps, the circ pump AND the ozonator would still both be running, so I guess it's OK.  So why it shuts off when the big pumps are on is a good question.

Actually no.  Ozone should shut off when big pumps are turned on.  The circ pump should continue to operate whether big pumps are on or off.  The ozonator (not circ pump) will generate ozone after appox five minutes after big pumps shut off.  It does not sound as if your system is operating correctly.

The ozone should deffinitely shut off when any of the pumps are turned on manually.  Have you ever heard of the people that like to put their mouths over the air injectors and try and breathe underwater?  Imagine if someone did that but put their mouth over the ozone jet while the ozone was on.

I've never heard of such a thing....   What will they think of next?

On my Jacuzzi, the low voltage circ pump runs continuously pushing water thru the heater and ozonator.  In 2 months I have never seen it when the ozone bubbles aren't being produced - whether I'm in the tub or not.

If you research this further you'll find that the bubblies are not indicative of ozone, but are because of a mazzei venturi injector that produces bubbles ozone or not, whenever the circ. pump is on.  Sundance models are producing ozone only when the icon on the display is illuminated.  I think I read somewhere that Jacuzzi is the same.  On my tub, the ozone shuts off while any of the main pumps are on and restarts about 5 minutes after they are shut off...(would be better if it was an hour like the brand I read about earlier in this thread)
