SAND FILTRATION IS DEAD,
BUT YOUR SAND FILTER MAY NOT BE.
ECOsmarte® glass is made from 100% re-
cycled glass. It is crushed, dried at 250 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and screened into various
sized fractions to achieve optimal filtration
properties.
As the grains are nearly all angular in shape
and have a fairly high degree of sphericity,
the filter bed tends to have more opened
packing resulting in better permeability than
a filter of spherical silica grains.
Because glass is amorphous and has no in-
ternal crystal structure, the particles are ho-
mogenous and have no grain boundaries.
This gives glass more resistance to break-
down through filtration backwashing cycles.
Furthermore the lack of grain boundaries
minimizes cracks where bacteria can lodge
and resist flushing in backwashing.
Glass particles have a slight negative charge
on their surface, which tend to hold onto
fine particles during the filtration cycle. Upon
backwashing, this weak charge releases these
fine particles to the effluent thereby contrib-
uting to better filtration action. There is less
water to the better permeability of a glass
filter.
As crushed glass is lighter than silica sand,
between 15 and 20% less glass is needed to
fill a filtration unit. With the better filtration
characteristics and lower density glass is a
superior filtration media for many filtration
applications. It can be used in swimming pool
and spa filters as well. Glass filter media is
now being used in storm water runoff filtra-
tion systems as a replacement for silica sand.
Using glass not only results in good perfor-
mance, but in real cost benefits over the life
of a filter bed.

2007 Automated CO2 Feature
Enchancements
The default settings are shown below:
Use ^ >< Keys to set
CO2 Output
CO2 TIMED
Press NEXT when done
Changing the setting should be done after install. All CO2 users must use the
ACC keypad, choose CO2 ON. Right arrow key will bring you to the next screen
that allows to choose between several options such as "ON", "TIMED" and
"OFF". It is strongly recommended that CO2 feed feature be set on "TIMED"
option.

The "NEXT" button will bring you to the screen where CO2 injection time should
be set. Right arrow key used to move cursor to the next necessary entry (from
hours to minutes). The up and down arrow keys allow you to program or change
the number of hours/minutes per day. It is the rule that Southern pools should
begin at 40 minutes (minimum time is 4 minutes).

>< Keys to set
CO2 Output
CO2 TIMED
Press NEXT when done
All pools should make an initial major PH down adjustment with Muriatic
acid before depending on the CO2, the pool should be monitored three times
the first week and minutes modified upward or downward as needed.
CO2 Minutes are injected four times per day with the first injection occuring
at the beginning of the programmed pool run time.
NOTE: Default setting on CO2 feeds constant gas to pool to confirm
no leaks at install. You must reselect "TIMED" and use Right arrow
key to get minutes to appear on the cursor. Your tank can drain in one
day if the time is not entered correctly.
CO2 PH control is a maintenance method only. Acid supplement is
required in early weeks of use.
