CHECKING ANODES
The copper/silver mineral anodes are "sacrificial" and
designed to slowly disintegrate, contributing mineral ions
to the pool water.
•
After an average of 18 – 36 months,
(for 50,000 Litre
pool), the anodes will wear away and require
replacing.
REPLACEMENT INDICATOR
• This will be apparent when the ion readings start to
drop for no apparent reason. The red light on the
control box (Maximum Output) will light up and the
message "Check Anodes" will appear on the display
screen .
• When this happens it is indicating that the anodes are
wearing down.
NOTE: When the anodes are worn it will not damage
the Bionizer. This is also true if the pump fails or
there is no water passing the anodes when the
Bionizer is operating – no damage to the unit or
pool equipment will result and there will be no
risk of fire or explosion as can occur with many
salt chlorinator electrodes if they are left
running.
ADJUSTING IONIZATION WHEN ANODES
ARE WORN
1. If they are becoming worn reduce the Ionizing Output
setting until the red light goes out.
2. Increase the length of ionizing time that the unit
operates to compensate.
EXAMINING THE ANODES
NOTE: At this time it is important to check the anodes.
1. The Anodes can simply be inspected for wear through
the clear BioPod cartridge.
2. If there is noticeably more wear on one end of the
anodes, remove the cartridge, turn around, and re-fit.
3. Don't forget to have the filter turned off and the taps
or valves closed to prevent water from spurting out
when you remove the BioPod from the pipeline..
