MIOX RIO Zuni™ Operators Manual System Description The MIOX RIO Zuni system is an on-site mixed oxidant generator that creates mixed oxidant solution from water, salt, and electricity. The system can create either 1.0 lb. or 2.0 lbs. of Free Available Chlorine (FAC) per day, depending on the model ordered. When producing oxidant the RIO Zuni system is automatically controlled by a pair of level switches inside the oxidant storage tank.
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuse only with a fuse of the same type and current rating *Performance may vary depending on salt quality, water quality, and water temperature. ^Refer to MIOX Salt Quality Guidelines for more details. Feed water flow rate is subject to +/- 15% variation.

Disconnect power before working on the system. Do not reconnect the power to the rear panel until installation is complete. All MIOX systems require a good earth ground. A neutral is not a substitute for a proper earth ground. Electrical wiring to all MIOX systems should be performed by a certified electrician.
9) Power Cord (provided with OSG) Tools for install The MIOX RIO Zuni can be installed without any tools, although MIOX recommends using a pair of pliers to tighten the hose clamps on the plumbing I/O panel. Refer to the Integrated Brine Tank Manual for tools needed to install the Integrated Brine Tank.
Without level switches plugged in, the OSG will never operate and instead will remain in ‘Standby’ mode. All MIOX systems require a good earth ground. A neutral is not a substitute for Safety an earth ground.
OSG. Secure with hose clamps. Leave valves closed. 6) Load Salt Load the brine tank with salt. If Integrated Brine Tank was ordered from MIOX, follow instructions in the Integrated Brine Tank Manual. NOTE: Only use salt that meets or exceeds the salt quality specifications in the MIOX Salt Guidelines.

9) Hydrogen Venting Install hydrogen venting in the oxidant tank. Hydrogen must be vented outdoors. Follow the Hydrogen Vent Kit instructions in the Oxidant Tank Manual and MIOX Hydrogen Safety White Paper. 10) Attached Power Cord Attach power cord to IEC on the back panel of OSG. Connect to 220-240 VAC. For a 220-240 VAC connection, replace the supplied power cord with a 10A rated 220VAC IEC Cable (220VAC cable not provided by MIOX).
Plumbing length In some installations, the system must go through multiple priming cycles before liquid reaches the unit. MIOX recommends minimizing the length of hose in between the water and brine supplies and the OSG. NOTE: Assure there are no kinks or pinches in the tubing.

MIOX RIO Zuni™ Operators Manual Normal Operation The system is within the normal operating window for oxidant generation and is running correctly Startup/Shutdown During the startup and shutdown modes of operation, the system flushes the lines and cell with water to remove any excess salt that may crystalize and clog the plumbing while the system is not in use.
The headers for the log are not included but are available through your sales representative or service provider. MIOX recommends always restarting the unit after plugging in a USB memory stick.

These factors can affect the oxidant demand of each individual water system, the oxidant production of the MIOX system, or the life of the cell itself. It is important to use “worst case” measures since water quality can vary from season to season.
