Testing Your Pool's Water - Intec CV40 Instruction Manual

After you have achieved a copper level of 0.5 ppm, you may simply unplug your unit or
turn your control unit off. You only need to run the system again when your copper level falls
below 0.4 ppm.
3.3 Initial Start-up for the CV50
Similar to the above. However, this unit is equipped with a potentiometer to control the
copper output. Turn the dial counter-clockwise to the lowest setting, and turn the unit on with
water flowing through the copper electrode chamber. As the water is flowing through, turn the
dial clockwise until it is on full power. If the power light flashes/blinks sporadically, turn
the knob again counter-clockwise until the power light is solid and not flashing. This is
the maximum output for your pool water conductivity.
Copper ions do not evaporate or dissipate. If you keep your pool, skimmers, filter, and
the weir basket in the front of the pump clean, the copper ions will remain in the pool. It is the
pH level in your pool/spa that is the most IMPORTANT.
If you will keep your pH, alkalinity, copper, and calcium hardness in the recommended
ranges, plus the regular use of your filtration aid, your pool water will always be beautiful,
clear, light blue, and healthy. That's all there is to it. Now, isn't that simple?
SECTION 5.0 TESTING YOUR POOL'S WATER
Your system contains two test kits, the comprehensive test kit (in the hard blue
container) and the copper test kit (in the clear container). The instructions for each test are in
each test kit. Read these instructions carefully. Then do the test. Below are the only tests that
you will need to maintain your pool.

pH

Alkalinity

Acid Demand
*NOTES –
A. 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.
