16. A copper-deficient diet may cause defective transport of vitamin A from liver to blood. 17. Copper also may play an important role in cancer prevention. 18. Copper is one of the more important antioxidants in the blood stream. 19. Copper in the form of ceruloplasmin keeps iron from rusting within the blood. B. - Page 6 Below is a picture of the electrode: Female Union Bushing Male Reducer Union Figure 2 Installation of the Electrode 2.1.1 1.5” Plumbing You will need to use a 2” to 1.5” reducer bushing (not provided). Take a hacksaw and cut 9 ½ inches out of the pipe after the filter. The electrode can be installed horizontally or vertically.

The electrode can be installed horizontally or vertically. Take the male half of each union and clean and cement them on the remaining pipe ends.
- Page 8 Question: How does copper get into my pool/spa? Answer : Your Intec Ionizer will apply a current to the copper electrode and ionize the water. The electrode will slowly release these copper ions into the water stream. The ions are extremely small and can not be seen even with a powerful microscope.
- Page 9 2.3 Electronic System Overview and Specifications Your new pool ionization system has gone through two separate inspections: (a) by manufacturing, and then, (b) by the shipping department. If you notice any defects on your system, please contact our Quality Assurance Department immediately. Your unit is powered by 110-220 volts (50-60 hertz) and can be plugged into any standard electrical socket.

The unit will automatically shut itself off and then try to come back on after the unit cools down. If this continues, please turn the unit off and call Intec at 800-896-1759 and they will provide you a resistor at no charge. -
Page 13: Testing Your Pool's Water
Calcium Hardness Alkalinity Copper Acid Demand *NOTES – These Test Kits are made exclusively for Intec. Other tests are shown on the chart but those tests are not necessary to maintain an ionized pool. - Page 14 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 15 pH is treated with muriatic acid to bring it lower and baking soda to bring it higher. The muriatic acid will burn up some of the alkaline material, thus reducing your pH. The baking soda will neutralize the acidity, increase the alkalinity, and thus increase your pH. Both chemicals are self-sacrificing and will reach a point of equilibrium, neutralize themselves, and then no longer exist in your pool water in its original form.
- Page 16 If your TA gets below 50ppm, then your pH will bounce. This means that you do not have enough alkalinity in your pool to maintain a constant pH. The pH may test differently in different parts of the pool When your TA reduces to 50ppm add one pound of baking soda for each 5,000 gallons in your pool.

They all do pretty much the same thing. 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 you pool. - Page 18 6.2 Oxidizing Agents These products will physically burn up the microscopic particles in your pool. These products are more commonly utilized because of their ease of use and they are a more economical option. The two most common agents are: 1.

Intec is not recommending that you change your filter, but that you learn to work with the one you have. If ever you have problems with your present filter, then you might consider changing to the cartridge filter. - Page 20 copper ions out of the water as fast as the electronic unit can put them in until all of the Metal-Out is out. C. When you are using the ionization unit, the pool pump must always be running so the copper ions can be flushed from the electrode into the pool.

Page 21: Stains And Scale
SECTION 8.0 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. If the stain or scale still exists then use a product called Stain Tamer to remove the stain or scale. -
