  • Page 6: D.) Installing The Unit

    D.) Installing the Unit Installing the Electrode Chamber Turn off the pump and all valves. Disconnect all power going to the motor, timer box or power source. 1.) Wrap Teflon tape around the two threaded male adapters. You can also use “Liquid Teflon” a thread sealant with Teflon.
  • Page 7 D.) Installing the Unit (Continued) 6.) Seat the “O” ring in the electrode jar and screw into the black flow-cell chamber by using your hands. No Teflon tape or wrench required! Installing the Control Box Keep the protective clear plastic sheet on during installation to stay clear of scratching the unit. 1.) Install the four mounting brackets using the enclosed screws to the back of the control box.
  • Page 8 D.) Installing the Unit (Continued) Choosing the Power Source The RC-50 unit will automatically detect 110 or 220VAC and no adjustments are required. When locating the power source, make sure that when the pump and motor shuts off, the MineralPURE power box does too. The ideal source is the timer box.
  • Page 9 D.) Installing the Unit (Continued) Connecting to the Pump Motor Disconnect the back plate to the motor where the electrical connections are. You will notice two connections where the power source is connected. Connect the MineralPURE’s power cable cord (black, white and green) to the same as the motor’s connections.
  • Page 10 D.) Installing the Unit (Continued) Connecting the ScaleBlaster Signal Cable The most desirable place to install the ScaleBlaster signal cable is on the return line away from any elbows, couplings, tees or valves as possible. You also want to be as far away from any electrical motor as possible as this could affect the signal.

  • Page 11: E.) Balancing The Pool's Water

    D.) Installing the Unit (Continued) 6.) Carefully strip the outer plastic shield from the end of the signal cable, leaving about 1/4” to 3/8” of bare cable. Twist the bare cable and insert the end into the unused receptacle post on the power unit.
  • Page 12 E.) Balancing the Pool’s Water (Continued) pH Reading Must be Between 7.2 and 7.8 The most important factor is in water chemistry is the pH reading. It should be kept between 7.2 and 7.8 at all times. If the pH gets too high, MineralPURE’s ions loose their effectiveness and can fall out of solution. Always get the pH on the lower side –...

  • Page 13: F.) Starting Up The System

    E.) Balancing the Pool’s Water (Continued) Copper Level Before installing the MineralPURE unit, the copper level should be tested. There may be readings of copper sulfate in the water from leached copper piping or from a copper based algaecide. Correct the problem by either locating the copper pipe (usually next to a water heater) and balancing the pH, or eliminating any algaecides completely.
  • Page 14 F.) Starting Up the System (continued) THE DESIRED ION LEVEL IN THE POOL IS 0.2 – 0.3 There are a lot of factors that can effect the rate the MineralPURE will produce the ions (see section in Trou- bleshooting). In order to get the desired reading of 0.2 to 0.3 quickly, you will need to set the unit to its maxi- mum current output (600mA).

  • Page 15: G.) Proper Procedures Of Maintaining A Healthy Pool

    G.) Proper Procedures of Maintaining a Healthy Pool INCLUDED WITH THIS PACKAGE IS A “QUICK CHART” THAT GIVES YOU THE BASICS OF MAINTAINING A PROPER POOL. PLEASE REFER TO THAT SHEET WHENEVER POSSIBLE. IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR CLEARWATER ENVIRO FOR ANY ASSISTANCE.

  • Page 16: H.) Cleaning And/Or Replacing The Electrodes

    H.) Cleaning and/or Replacing the Electrodes The only part of the MineralPURE Ionizer that will need maintenance or replacement is the electrodes. They should last about 1-5 years depending on your pool size, length of swimming season, water temperature and how well the water was balanced (ion level, pH, etc.).

It is adjustable from zero (OFF) to six hundred milliamps (mA) , in five mA increments. Electrode Status Icon STEADY ON - NORMAL OPERATION The electrode icon on the upper right side of the main screen indicates the electrical polarity as well as its operational status.
  • Page 19 I.) RC-50 Control Box Features (Continued) Scrolling Status Messages The scrolling status messages are located at the bottom of the main screen. There are five different messages. 1). UNIT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY: Lets the user know everything is ok and that the control unit is functioning.

  • Page 22 J.) Troubleshooting (Continued) Can’t Obtain the Proper Copper-Ion Level (Continued) 5.) Improper test kit readings. Make sure you follow the proper Ion-Test kit procedures. Many people look at the side of the test tubes instead of looking down from the top. Also, be sure to wait three minutes for the reagents to develop. These reagents should be replaced yearly and kept out of direct sunlight and stored at normal room temperature.

  • Page 23: K.) Optional Rc-50 Components

    J.) Troubleshooting (Continued) No Output Reading on Display / Unit Not Working Properly If for any reason you do not get a reading on the control box, and assuming all connections are correct, you will need to return the circuit board/face plate back to your dealer for repair. The circuit board/face plate assembly can be easily removed without having to un-install the enclosure or wiring.
