Awesome Pool Products - THUNDER Spa Ozone Generators

About Electronic Pool & Spa Sanitizers: We recommend that every pool or spa have at least an ionizer which will reduce chemicals 80% to 90%. For pools we recommend model PI-D, and for spas model SI-D, or Instant Ions model IONS-25 and a Copper Test kit model CTK. If you want total chemical free water in your pool, we recommend a THUNDER ozone generator model T2000 or T4000, model TMIS or T24MIS ozone mixing injector system, and an ionizer model PI-D. For a spa Model T500TS will provide total chemical free sanitation. A PURITY combination salt chlorine generator and ionizer is a great option if you do not mind a very low .1 to .2 ppm of chlorine. For pools use model P30RI, smaller above-ground pool use model P12AG, and for spas model PSRI. All these systems are manufactured by Sunshine Pool Products which provides the only combination systems, which provide the best water quality, at the lowest costs, and lowest operating costs, than any other systems available anywhere.

THUNDER
High Output Corona Discharge Spa Ozone Generators

What is Ozone?

Ozone is the strongest and fastest commercially available disinfectant and oxidant for water treatment.
Ozone leaves no harmful chlorinated by-products in the water - ozone quickly reverts back to pure oxygen if unused.
Chemical water treatment leaves long-term chemical effects on the environment - some of which are negative. Ozone does not.
You cannot overdose with ozone as unused ozone escapes out of the water and reverts to oxygen.
Ozone disinfect ion qualities are not dependent on pH, nor does the addition of ozone affect the pH of water.
Ozone is the strongest natural algaecide, bactericide, viricide, fungicide, protozoacide and parasiticide known to man, being used for more than 100 years.

What is Corona Discharge?

In nature thunder and lightning's corona discharge of electricity creates ozone when oxygen is split into two separate atoms. Our THUNDER ozone generator duplicates this natural process in it's generating cell. Corona discharge produces ozone more efficiently, at a much higher output, and the cell lasts much longer, than with the light tube method.

How is THUNDER Installed?

THUNDER is easily installed to new or existing spas. Most spas are pre plumbed and wired for ozone so installation is very easy. The 3/8" tubing is connected to the existing spa ozone tubing and the plug is plugged into the ozone receptacle on the equipment pack. If the spa is not ozone ready THUNDER can be plumbed into the spa air venturi system near an air control so it injects ozone when the spa circulation system operates. Do not use this method if the spa jets are supercharged with an air blower. If Thunder is used on a spa where the circulating system is remotely located and is not located below the spa models T500TS or S24CPK will be needed. The very best method of injecting ozone for spas is to use models T500TS or S24CPK which provide 24 hour ozone injection and proper mixing of ozone with the spa water. See injection section below for more information.

Available with AMP, J&J Mini, or Standard 3-Prong Wall Plug. See your owners manual for type needed. Please specify which you need. If not specified Thunder will be shipped with the J&J Mini plug since it is the most common. Model T500TS will come with a Standard 3-Prong plug.

What do I need to know about my spa when ordering?

You will need to know what type and voltage of plug you need to plug into your spa equipment pack, and if your spa is ozone ready. If it is not ozone ready you will need to order our injector kit or air pump kit. For 240 volts you will need to order a 240 volt unit. Most 240 volt spas have 120 volts to the ozone plug.

Should I ionize my spa water?

Yes, you should purchase our model SI-D ionizer, or a pint bottle of Instant Ions model IONS 25, and a copper Test Kit model CTK, unless you are ordering model T500TS which comes with Instant Ions and a copper test kit. Instant Ions is an ionizer in a bottle and the pint bottle will last 1 to 2 years in most spas. The level of copper in the water from the Instant Ions is tested weekly with the copper test kit, and Instant Ions is added as needed. If your spa water is ionized your chlorine or bromine level will only need to be maintained at only .2 to .5 ppm if used without an ozone generator, or with an ozone generator installed to a typical ozone jet. Ionization will save you money and greatly improve your water quality.

Should I keep a bromide reserve in my spa water with a THUNDER ozonator?

Yes, we recommend that a bromide bank be kept in every spa that uses a THUNDER ozonator. A bromide reserve is created by adding just 2 oz of sodium bromide (Bromine Salt) to your spa water for every 500 gallons. Sodium bromide is a salt and not a bromine sanitizer. This allows the ozonator to activate the bromide ions as they come in contact with ozone, which is an oxidizer. A small bromine residual of .1 to .5 ppm will develop providing more efficient sanitation, and better and clearer water quality. This low level of bromine will not be noticeable or cause any negative problems associated with the use of chemicals. Sodium bromide is a salt and stays in the water and can be used over and over again. This is free additional sanitation as it costs nothing extra to produce once the bromide reserve is established. Sodium Bromide will only need to be added when spa is drained and filled.

THUNDER Injection Systems

If you want 24 hour ozone sanitation and you already have a high output ozone generator of at least 500 mg/h, this 24 hour Circulating Pump Kit and our Instant Ions and a copper test kit will provide total spa sanitation. Your spas large 2 speed pump only operates a few hours a day and will not provide enough ozone for total sanitation. The circulating pump is installed in-line with the ozone jet water line which is usually 3/4" ID tubing. You should make sure you can get to the tubing to install the pump before ordering.

Model S24CPK Includes the pump, injector, spa jet, 20 ft of 3/4" ID tubing, and 5 hose clamps.
The power cord and your ozone generators power cords are connected to the equipment pack power so that they are always on.

Mixing of Ozone and Water is Created in the 4 loops of tubing Greatly Improving the Efficiency of the Ozone Generator. Off-Gassing of ozone is Virtually Eliminated, Eliminating the Contact of Ozone with Spa Components.

Check your spa to be sure you have an ozone jet and you can get to it and can remove it and install the new ozone get, pump and tubing before ordering. Full foam spas will require you to remove foam insulation away from the ozone jet so you can install this system.

Available 115 or 230 volts. Please specify voltage desired when ordering.
