Del Ozone spare parts and consumables for pool and spa ozone systems

Ozone is used on many pools and spas as a supplementary oxidiser, working alongside a residual sanitiser such as chlorine or bromine. A generator produces ozone on site, the gas is drawn into the circulation water by a venturi injector, and the water then passes through a vessel where the gas and water are mixed and the undissolved portion is separated out again. That last step matters: ozone that does not dissolve has to be dealt with before the air is released, and that is the job of a carbon destruct cartridge. Here you will find replacement consumables for Del Ozone MDV systems, listed by the manufacturer’s own part number so the right item can be matched without guesswork.

Where the MDV vessel sits in the circuit

MDV stands for mixing and degas vessel. It is plumbed after the injection point and before the water returns to the pool or spa. Inside, the ozonated water is given contact time, and the gas that has not gone into solution rises to the top of the vessel. Rather than venting that off-gas directly, the system routes it through a cartridge filled with activated carbon media, which breaks the ozone down before the air leaves the unit.

Because the media is consumed in normal use, the cartridge is a maintenance item rather than a permanent component. A spent cartridge does not usually stop the system from running, which is why it is easy to overlook. Signs that it is due for attention include a noticeable sharp smell near the equipment pad or the vent line, or simply the amount of time that has passed since the last change. Treat it the same way as any other consumable on the plant room schedule.

Choosing the right cartridge

Ozone equipment is not interchangeable between manufacturers, and the fittings, vessel diameter and vent arrangement vary between designs. Work from the following before ordering:

• The part number — 9-0620 is the reference for the MDV carbon destruct cartridge. If a number is printed on the old cartridge or on a label inside the system housing, use it in preference to anything else.
• The system family — confirm that the installation is an MDV type rather than another Del Ozone configuration, as the degas arrangement differs between ranges.
• The exploded view — manuals for ozone systems number each component. Noting the position number of the item being replaced avoids ordering a housing cap or a seal when the media cartridge is what is actually needed.
• Physical dimensions — measure the length and diameter of the item being removed, along with the diameter of any tubing connections, and compare before fitting.
• Condition of the surrounding parts — check O-rings, the vent tube and any check valve at the same time, since these are the items most likely to have hardened alongside the media.

Working safely on an ozone installation

Ozone is a gas that should not be inhaled, so a few sensible habits apply whenever the system is opened. Switch off and isolate the generator electrically, shut down the circulation pump, and close the isolating valves on either side of the vessel so that it can be depressurised. Allow the equipment to stand before opening it, and work in a ventilated space rather than a closed plant cupboard.

When refitting, make sure the cartridge seats fully and that any seal is clean, undamaged and lightly lubricated with a silicone product suitable for pool equipment. Petroleum greases should be avoided on ozone equipment. Once the system is back in service, check the vessel and all connections for leaks at operating pressure before leaving the plant room, and note the date so the next change interval can be planned rather than discovered by smell.

Here we list genuine consumables for Del Ozone MDV systems, with the manufacturer’s part numbers kept visible in the product titles. The focus is on the items that are used up or wear out in service, so that an existing installation can be kept running properly rather than replaced because a small component could not be sourced.

If the system on site carries a model label or a part number on the old component, use that as the reference point when comparing the listings. Where a number cannot be found, the system type, the vessel size and clear photographs of the component and its connections are usually enough to identify what is required.
