What Is an INJECTOR?

 

There are several components that make up an ozonating system. First, the ozonator; either a tube type or CD type.

Then a small tube runs from the ozonator to the plumbing. Since the ozonator doesn't create pressure, you need something to suck the ozonated gas out of the ozonator, down the tube and into the plumbing.

Some techs will splice the ozone gas tube into the airline and have the jets naturally suck the gas when the pumps are on. Problem with this is you want the ozone gas entering the spa on the lowest point you can get so the gas will bubble upward and sanitize. Most Jacuzzi Bath Spas come "Ozone Ready" so there is already a unused fitting in the spa.

Therefore, you run the clear line from to the ozonator and plug into the "T" fitting of the injector. The injector splices into the line going to the low ozone fitting. When the pump is on, the water passes through the injector and causes suction (just like on each jet) and this pulls the ozone gas out of the ozonator and mixes it with water and that is pushed into the spa.

One last note, you typically only install the injector once. It usually lasts indefinitely.
