- Page 3 Thank you for choosing Spectra’s Z-Ion system! This revolutionary adap- tation of an ancient technology effectively and safely protects the mem- brane and filters on your Spectra watermaker. The Z-Ion system introduces a stream of metallic ions that kill the organ- isms in your watermaker and create an environment that prohibits them from growing and going anaerobic.

Page 10: Testing The System
Testing the system Normally no adjustment is necessary as the unit has been set up at the factory for your water- maker, however it is advisable to make sure it is working properly. You will need Spectra test kit # Once the installation is complete and the unit is powered up, activate EL-ZION-TESTKIT. - Page 11 Z-ion Specifications The Z-ION controller has been specifically designed to batch process (produce) metallic ions for system disinfection. This process has been around for many years, however most systems produce ions on a continuous slow basis rather than a short intermittent process. It was found that the most stable way to produce ions in a batch process is to maintain a constant current to the electrodes and vary the voltage.
