Abstract
An ozone injector device comprising a housing having a water passageway through the housing, a corona tube disposed within the housing, an ozone inlet fitting removably coupled to the water passageway, the ozone inlet being in fluid communication with the corona tube via a corona discharge tube, and a clearing piston positioned to move into and out of the water passageway directly opposite the ozone inlet. The clearing piston is biased upwards, towards to the ozone inlet, and configured to prevent flow of ozone into the water passageway.
Claims19
An ozone injector device comprising:
- a) a housing formed by two halves removably coupled together, the housing having:
- i) a water passageway through the housing, wherein the water passageway is a venturi and the water inlet and the water outlet are configured to couple to a water filtration system for a pool or spa;
- and
- ii) an air filter housing with an air filter therein positioned along an exterior surface of the housing;
- b) a corona tube disposed within the housing;
- c) a high-voltage transformer disposed within the housing;
- d) an ozone inlet comprising an ozone inlet fitting removably coupled to the water passageway, the ozone inlet fitting being in fluid communication with the corona tube via a corona discharge tube and in fluid communication with an ozone outlet opening in a side surface of the water passageway;
- and
- e) a clearing piston positioned to move (i) into and out of the water passageway via a piston cavity opening in the side surface of the water passageway directly opposite the ozone outlet opening and (ii) into the ozone outlet opening to prevent flow of ozone into the water passageway, the clearing piston being biased upwards towards the ozone outlet opening.
