EcoSmarte Pool System Manual page 13

(1) ECOsmarte System:
ECOsmarte Electrode Chamber must be cleaned every third month of
operation and as needed under certain water conditions.
(2) Filter Maintenance:
ate a clear swimming pool. Sand filters can be cleaned by soaking sand
with one gallon of muriatic acid overnight. Apply the undiluted acid direct-
ly to the sand once per year. Cartridge filter elements must be soaked in
5:1 muriatic acid and water solution, then TSP and water for one hour
each (as needed). Replace the cartridge every 6 months for spas and
every 18 months for pools. DE Filter elements need same muriatic bath
as cartridges as well as TSP bath for one hour. (Sand filters backwash
twice after 6lbs. rise, DE filters three times after 12lbs. rise.)
(3) Pool Maintenance:
where automatic vacuum does not reach on a weekly basis. A cavitating
pump will run our Electrode Chamber dry and result in poor automatic
vacuuming. Vinyl, GUNITE, and Fiberglass pools work best with a suction
wall vacuum, not a sweep.
ELECTRODE CLEANING PROCEDURE
(1) Mix solution 5 parts water to 1 part acid in a bucket. When
adding acid to water be careful not to spill or be down wind when
pouring.
(2) Disconnect terminal clips. The Red & Green wires attach to the copper
side of the chamber, the Black & White to the titanium side. If uneven
electrode wear is noted on copper electrodes you must reverse position
of the Green & Red terminal clips after cleaning.
(3) Place entire Electrode Chamber in bucket for 10 to 15 minutes. The
build-up will slowly dissolve. DO NOT scrape the surface of the elec-
trodes. If you will be cleaning yourself, consider cleaning caps to cut
acid use and speed process. Cleaning caps from your dealer will cut
acid use and simplify this procedure.
(4) Remove Electrode Chamber from bucket and rinse with garden-hose
pressure. Make sure to rinse your hand as well.
(5) Wipe terminal clips dry and reconnect leads after reinstalling Electrode
Chamber in pressure line. Remember: Red & Green connect to the
copper side, Black & White to the titanium.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE chamber OR USE METAL FILES
