Page 4: Installation Check List
Installation Check List Your Eco-MATIC installation is complete when the following have been completed: • ‘Cell Housing’ installed into plumbing. • ‘Cell Housing’ should be mounted ‘horizontally’. • ‘Cell Housing’ should be located downstream from filter, heater and all other accessories, and before any spa valve. •... -

Page 6: Indicators - What They Mean
Indicators - What They Mean Output readings on the DIGITAL DISPLAY can fall due to any (or combination of) the following: cooler water temperatures, warming of power pack (in heated equipment rooms for example), lower than normal power voltage, lower salt levels, scaling occurring on ‘Cell’. -
Page 7: Stand-By Indicator
Stand-by Indicator The Stand-By indicator will be ON when the Unit is preparing to produce sanitizer. This will be either during the system’s initial Start-Up or when the ‘Cell’ is in an OFF cycle during the filtration cycle (refer System Control). Stand-By indicator can also be ON after System Protection Cut-Out has activated. -
Page 8: Low Salinity Indicator And Cut-Out
Low Salinity Indicator and Cut-Out Your Eco-MATIC is fitted with a number of protective features including the Low Salinity Indicator, and on some models, a Cut-Out feature. As the salt level in the pool decreases, the wear on the ‘Cell’ increases. Although salt is not consumed in the Eco-MATIC process, it is lost through splashing, back-washing and on bathers as they leave the pool. -
Page 9: Gas Sensor
Gas Sensor The smaller of the three leads which connect to the ‘Cell’ head is the Gas Sensor. Whenever the head of the Gas Sensor bolt loses contact with the water (due to gas or air pocket in ‘Cell’, or scale build-up on sensor bolt head), your Eco-MATIC will Cut-Out. - Page 10 Maintenance of Your Eco-MATIC (Continued) Cleaning The ‘Cell’ Mineral salts, calcium, etc. (scale) will accumulate onto the ‘Cell’ and will effect the efficiency of the ‘Cell’ in its production of sanitizer. If allowed to build up unchecked, this scale can damage the ‘Cell’. It is therefore essential that the ‘Cell’ be cleaned whenever necessary, as indicated by visual inspection, a drop in Output and/or RED LED(s).
- Page 11 Maintenance of Your Eco-MATIC (Continued) Maintaining The Salt Level It is important to always maintain at least the minimum recommended salt level (4000 ppm for ESR models, 3000 ppm for ESC models and 3000 ppm for ultra low salt ESR models) in the pool water (in some cases, spas can be operated at lower salt levels –...

Page 12: Maintenance Of The Water
Maintenance of the Water You should always be sure that your pool water is ‘in balance’. The person who maintains the pool should already be checking and adjusting the water for the following. If you need verification of any of the following, take a water sample to your local pool shop for testing (or send to your Eco-MATIC Dealer for testing). -
Page 13: Water Testing - What To Test For
Water Testing • What to Test For • Recommended Levels Sanitizer (or ‘chlorine’) Recommended Level 1.0 - 3.0 ppm How to Test Normal ‘chlorine’ Test Kit (free-chlorine test) Frequency of Testing Test and adjust daily, initially, until you achieve consistent readings. Then test at least weekly, or whenever pool conditions or usage changes. -
Page 14: Trouble Shooting
Water Testing • What to Test For • Recommended Levels (Continued) Why Conditioner? Low levels of conditioner causes loss of sanitizer, especially in sunny locations. Low conditioner levels mean your Eco-MATIC will have to work harder (produce more sanitizer) in order to achieve and maintain correct sanitizer levels. -

Important Safety Instructions - USA When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 2. WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. -
Page 16: Installation Summary
Installation Summary This is a quick guide as to how the ECO-MATIC should be installed. Refer to the following pages for detailed instructions and helpful hints. 1. Install the ECO-MATIC ‘Cell’ into the return line, downstream from all other equipment. The ‘Cell’ must be horizontal. The water flow direction through the cell housing should be ‘flowing away from the Cell Head’. -
Page 17: Before Installing Your Eco-Matic
Before Installing Your Eco-MATIC... How good is the water in your pool/spa? In most instances, pools can be simply converted to the ECO-MATIC system without the need to change the pool water. However, if the water is ‘old’ (older than say 3 years), or if the water has been subjected to high degrees of chemical dosing, or has been kept in generally poor condition, you may want to consider dumping that water and refilling the pool. -
Page 18: Installing The 'Cell Housing
Installing the ‘CELL HOUSING’ Once the correct location for the ‘Cell’ has been established, the ‘Cell Housing’ must be installed into the plumbing at that selected location. The clear plastic ‘Cell Housing’ is PVC compatible, so use ordinary PVC solvent (glue) to attach the ‘Cell Housing’ to the pipework. -
Page 19: Connecting 'Power Pack' To Power Supply
Connecting ‘POWER PACK’ to Power Supply IMPORTANT: It is essential that your ECO-MATIC gets power ONLY WHEN THE FILTER PUMP IS ‘ON’ and water is flowing through the ‘Cell’. The power supply to the ECO-MATIC Power Pack must therefore be controlled by the same switch or timing device which controls power to the filter pump. -
