How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before servicing ozone or UV equipment. Avoid looking directly at UV lamps when energized.

  • 1. Check indicator (if equipped):
    • Some Wellis models have an ozone or UV status indicator; verify if it shows operation.
  • 2. Inspect tubing and check valve:
    • Locate the ozone generator and follow the tubing to the injector.
    • Ensure the check valve is oriented correctly and not blocked.
  • 3. Listen for operation:
    • With power ON and filtration running, listen for a faint buzz from the ozone unit.
  • 4. Replace components:
    • Replace the ozone generator or UV lamp according to Wellis maintenance intervals or if non-functional.
  • 5. Maintain chemistry:
    • Until the system is restored, maintain proper sanitizer levels manually.
