- Page 19 E2 – The most probable cause for this error is having extremely low mineral content in the pool water. The average Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level for a freshwater pool is 500 - 1500 ppm and salt water pools 2800 – 3500 ppm. This error code will show on the display when the TDS is lower than 250 ppm.

Anytime you draw a water sample from the pool for testing, make sure you get that sample 12 inches below the pool surface. If ever you have a problem, you may call Intec at 800-896-1759 for assistance. Please test your pool water for the aforementioned parameters before calling Intec. These tests results are needed to diagnose and help you solve your problem. - Page 22 pH Concentrations Scale Concentrations of Hydrogen Solutions that typically have ions (H ) compared to distilled water this pH 10,000,000 pH = 0 battery acid 1,000,000 pH = 1 stomach acid 100,000 pH = 2 lemon juice, vinegar 10,000 pH = 3 grapefruit, orange juice, soda Acidic pH 1,000...
- Page 23 Therefore, it can be said that you have a chemical-free pool. Muriatic acid is available in one-gallon bottles at Lowes, The Home Depot, and most local hardware stores. Baking soda is available at Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar General, and your local grocery store. Recommended Testing and pH Range The ideal for pH is 7.2 (7.0 to 7.4 is OK).
- Page 24 Copper Ions and Treatment The ideal level for copper ions is 0.5ppm. Levels in the range of 0.4 to 0.6 are acceptable. Once the copper has reached the desired level of 0.5ppm, you only have to run the electronic unit about one time a week during the day. Test as needed. NOTE: When you test your pool’s water for copper ions, you look down through the top of the test tube as you hold it ½...

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 your pool. - Page 26 To keep these instructions simplified, one can substitute hydrogen peroxide in the place of bleach. Hydrogen peroxide can be substituted for those choosing to live a totally chlorine-free lifestyle. (Hydrogen peroxide is available at Whole-Foods in the laundry section as a bleach alternative). However, please do not be concerned about using bleach. Remember, we are not using a stabilizer such as cyanuric acid which is necessary to keep chlorine in the water molecule.

onger visible. Even though the algae are dead, they may still retain their color and stickiness for several days. STAINS AND SCALE This was discussed earlier in Section 5.1 (under pH). In pools, stains and scale are either caused by low pH or high pH. First test and treat your pH, and then wait one day. -
Page 29: Electrode Maintenance - Replacing Bars
ELECTRODE MAINTENANCE – REPLACING BARS 1. Detach the electrode housing from the pool plumbing. Loosen both unions by turning them counterclockwise (This assumes you are standing directly above the electrode and the union at a 6 o’clock position and the center of the electrode is at the 12 o’clock position). -
