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.
D. Test accurately and often. Make small treatments when necessary. Insufficient testing
and treatment will ultimately take more time and more money. Your water will always
be perfect with consistent testing and treatment.
E. Keep on hand all the supplies you might need for two months.
F. Operate the pump during the day which is when your water is under the most stress.
Recommended hours to run pool pump:
Daily High Temp
G. Do not use any algaecides because copper ions are the single best algaestat on planet
earth. Many algaecides are copper based. Adding algaecides will cause you to get a
high false reading on the copper test.
H. When you notice your pool water is discolored (before you do anything else), check and
treat your pH if high. Then wait until the next day because your water may clear. This
is caused by the lower pH reabsorbing whatever caused the discoloration.
I. Get the water from the pool for testing about 12 inches below the surface.
J. Algae should never be allowed to infest the pool. This may happen when you go on
vacation and the pool water has not been properly tested and treated. Once the pool
water is properly tested and treated, the copper will kill the algae but will not make it
disappear. Start an oxidation program (See Section 6.2) of one quart of Bleach or
Hydrogen Peroxide for every 8,000 gallons a day until the algae is no longer visible.
Even though the algae are dead, they may still retain their color and stickiness for several
days.
