-
A deep filter bed of between 800mm and 1000mm of filter glass media is ideal. If filter is adequate
and copper residual is 0.5ppm and water is hazy, then a filter flocculant or gel bloc may be
necessary (follow instructions for use on package)
-
An algaecide may also be added (see package instructions). If hazy water persists, the flow rate
through the filter may be too weak.
-
A turnover of the entire pool's volume every 4 hours is necessary. This may be achieved through
use of a stronger pool pump and bigger diameter circulation pipes.
SECTION 5: STANDARD OPERATION
_________________________________________________
5.1 Oxidation (black electrodes, white cable, 2 pin)
When the e-clear electronic box is powered, the oxygen plates should always be powered, i.e. They
need never be switched off independently of the mains power. The electronic box must only be
powered when the pool water is circulating see section 4.4.4.
5.2 Ionization (Copper- pink electrodes, black cable, 3 pin)
. (Silver- 10mm diameter silver grey rod electrode, bridged to copper)
During standard operation, it is necessary to carefully gauge usage of swimming pool i.e. Body load,
amount of sunshine pool water receives and amount of debris falling into water. These factors will
determine the length of time the ionization plates are to be on. This is done by regularly testing the
copper and maintaining the 0.5ppm residual by manually switching the copper on or off at the side of
the electronic box. This also switches silver on or off. Eventually an equilibrium will be reached. For
example, it might be necessary to run the ionization every 4 days out of 7 to maintain the copper
residual at 0.5ppm under current conditions. Silver residual will be 50ppb when copper is 0.5ppm
5.3 Ultraviolet
Lamp life is 10 000? Hours. UV runs when electronic box is powered.
Check UV lamp indicator on face of electronic box for operation. Replace after 10 000 hours of
operation.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
_________________________________________________
6.1 General maintenance
It is extremely important to maintain a pH in the range of 6.8-7.2. This allows for most effective
operation of eClear's natural fresh water oxidation process.
It is extremely important to maintain a copper residual of 0.5ppm. This will ensure the cleanest,
safest pool water.
It is extremely important to maintain clean filter glass media for maximum filtration of all solid matter.
This is done by regularly backwashing and rinsing the filter and by changing or rejuvenating the filter
glass media annually.
Calcium hardness may need to be checked annually, especially in pool's that are topped up with new
water regularly. Ensure that this is carried out by a professional.
