16. A copper-deficient diet may cause defective transport of vitamin A from liver to blood. 17. Copper also may play an important role in cancer prevention. 18. Copper is one of the more important antioxidants in the blood stream. 19. Copper in the form of ceruloplasmin keeps iron from rusting within the blood.

- Page 8 Question: How does copper get into my pool/spa? Answer : Your Intec Ionizer will apply a current to the copper electrode and ionize the water. The electrode will slowly release these copper ions into the water stream. The ions are extremely small and can not be seen even with a powerful microscope.
- Page 9 2.3 Electronic System Overview and Specifications Your new pool ionization system has gone through two separate inspections: (a) by manufacturing, and then, (b) by the shipping department. If you notice any defects on your system, please contact our Quality Assurance Department immediately. Your unit is powered by 110-220 volts (50-60 hertz) and can be plugged into any standard electrical socket.

- Page 14 Controller Description Functionality 1. The CA10 and CV60 is rated for 2.0 amps. The CV50 is rated at 1.0 amp. 2. The CA10 is rated at 12 VDC. The CV50 and CV60 is rated at 24 VDC. 3. The allowable TDS (salinity) level may be different depending on the internal heating at full load and feedback wave shape.
- Page 15 Setpoint Select The setpoint on the CV60 will be adjusted using scroll up and scroll down panel pushbuttons rather than a potentiometer found on the CV50. The DSP will maintain the setpoint value during power down. Power On & Off Power on and off on the CV60 shall be selected via ON and OFF panel pushbuttons rather than a power toggle switch found on the CV50.

The unit will automatically shut itself off and then try to come back on after the unit cools down. If this continues, please turn the unit off and call Intec at 800-896-1759 and they will provide you a resistor at no charge. -
Page 17: Testing Your Pool's Water
You only need to run the system again when your copper level falls below 0.4 ppm. 3.3 Initial Start-up for the CA10 or CV50 Similar to the above. However, these unit are equipped with a potentiometer to control the copper output. - Page 18 Acid Demand *NOTES – These Test Kits are made exclusively for Intec. Other tests are shown on the chart but those tests are not necessary to maintain an ionized pool. Anytime you draw a water sample from the pool for testing, make sure you get that sample 12 inches below the pool surface.
- Page 19 5.1 Test the pH of your pool water first. If it needs treatment, then treat it before proceeding to the other tests. If you leave your pH higher than 7.4 for an extended period of time, then dissolved minerals and organics inside of the water molecules (which were previously invisible) can precipitate from solution and become suspended (free floating).
- Page 20 ball” relating to the future rise in your pool water’s pH. The higher the alkalinity, the faster your pH will rise. Example: if your pH is 7.0 and your alkalinity is over 140ppm, then your pH will twice as fast as it would if the TA were 70ppm. 5.2.1 The ideal for TA is 50 to 80 ppm (parts per million) Test as needed - You will learn how long to wait between treatments by testing and finding the TA is still in the proper range.

this being an insurance policy against owner negligence. For example, the damaging effects of low pH water would slightly be negated with calcium being present in the water. Calcium Hardness (CH) is treated with calcium chloride. This is available at most stores that carry pool supplies. - Page 22 They all do pretty much the same thing. These products will pull together those small particles until they are large enough for the filter to catch. Intec recommends a product called Super Blue that is manufactured by Robarb™. It is a corn starch durative. Follow the instructions on the label for the amount to add to you pool.

H. When you notice your pool water is discolored (before you do anything else), check and treat your pH if high. Then wait until the next day because your water may clear. This is caused by the lower pH reabsorbing whatever caused the discoloration. I. - Page 26 1. Readjust your pH, 2. Test and adjust copper, 3. Test total alkalinity, and 4. Test calcium hardness F. Add Stain Tamer if needed. Please note - Use only products called Drop-Out and Stain- Tamer. Do not substitute. Results will vary according to the pool condition.
