Ozone System Maintenance

POSI-VENT

• Function
  The posi-vent is located on top of the off-gas tank. It is an electrical component designed to release gases such as sulfur, methane, ammonia, and ozone from the water and the tank, so there is no smell in the water. 
• Operation
  When water flows through the filtration system, the float switch is triggered, creating an electric current in a wire to activate an electromagnet in the posi-vent. When this magnet pulls the steel piston away from the exit hole in the posi-vent head, any gases in the tank can escape along with a little water into a tube that is connected to a drainpipe. When water is turned off the power from the flow switch turns off, and a spring on the back side of the piston pushes the piston forward to its normal position. There is a flat rubber button on the hole-side of the piston that is designed to seal off the release hole.
  This means that when water is flowing, the posi-vent should be open and the black drain tube should jerk and wiggle with the flow of water and bursts of air from the ozone pump. 
  When water is off, the tube should be still: there should be nothing flowing out the drain tube because the posi-vent is closed.
