EcoSmarte Pool System Manual page 4

PRELIMINARY STEPS
(1) Stop using old sanitation chemical or device, but confirm levels.
(2) Backwash or clean filter thoroughly.
(3) Install ECOsmarte Electrode Chamber either horizontally or vertically.
Note: If chlorine is at zero put one quart Algaecide 60 in the pool until
you get copper to 0.4 ppm.
CONVERSION STEPS
(1) Lower pH to 6.8 - 7.2 range.
(2) Measure copper, see TESTING YOUR WATER
(3) Turn ECOsmarte Electronic Box to Ionize, High for all pools. Take
second Copper test after 24 hours, test pH again.
(4) It will take 48 to 72 hours of consecutive ionizing to get copper above
0.4 ppm.
load. ECOsmarte recommends turning the water over in your pool 1.5
times per-day, running the ECOsmarte Pool System only when filtering
your water. When the Electronic Control Box is in the Oxidize position, your
pool water will be oxidized as it passes through the Electrode Chamber.
The lights on the Electronic Control Box will indicate the mode of operation,
confirm polarity shift, and alert you to certain problems. Under proper oper-
ating conditions a single light will circle whether in the Ionize or Oxidize
mode, and a single steady light will appear next to the selected mode.
(1) A mode light appears next to both Ionize and Oxidize positions regard-
less of mode selection, then power is feeding back from the selected
electrodes to the other electrodes. This is caused by highly conductive
water. As long as the lights are not blinking, leave unit in high mode;
check again the second season.
(2) One or more mode lights blinks, then water is extremely conductive.
Switch Box to Low. Leave box on high if both lights are on but not blinking.
(3) 98% or more of all systems run in high mode in either oxidize or ionize.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX
To Ionize, set the ECOsmarte Electronic Box in the ion-
ize position. A single, circling light indicates power to the
Electronic Box. A small glow-lamp diode at the
Electrode Chamber indicates power to the electrodes.
You will oxidize as the default, unless a copper meas-
urement indicates a need for copper ions. On average,
oxidize 13 days, ionize 1 day, depending on your bather
