How often do I clean copper anode?
03
04
You will need to clean the copper anode every week otherwise blue/green build-up
may occur in the basket preventing the minerals from being released in the water
properly. Also, this may cause a tear in the basket.
How much Chlorine will I need to use?
We recommend using a small amount (2 to 3 parts per million) of sanitizer to keep
your pool microbe-free. You may still use small quantities of chlorine, bromine, or a
non-chlorine sanitizer. It’s the large expensive quantities of chlorine that you no longer
need to keep your pool crystal clear.
Will the unit work if my pool is covered?
If the panel on the unit does not get direct sunlight it will not work properly. You can
gently tether the unit to an area in the pool where the cover is lifted or cut a small hole
in the cover for the unit to be placed in the pool.
How long does the unit need to be in the sun?
The Solar Ionizer needs at least 4-5 hours of sunlight. (Please note that you will need
to have the unit in the water when it is in the sun, or this may damage the unit). If your
Ionizer is NOT in the sun, it will not work. Therefore, you may need to tether it with a
piece of string (just wrapped around the basket) in a sunny place in your pool.
Can I use a metal screw if I misplace or break
the nylon screw that came with the unit?
No. A metal screw will interfere with the ionization process and will “fuse” into the
copper. It must be non-metallic.

How do I clean the anode and basket?
Remove the unit from the pool, inspect for any damages on the panel and around the
unit.
Flip the unit over onto a soft surface such as grass (you may want to have a trash
bag underneath the unit) and gently remove the nylon screw and basket from the
anode. Remove the anode from the unit and give it a little scrub with the wire brush
provided.
HINT: Easier to clean when wet. When dry, dusty mineralized residue can
be irritating.
Do I need to check the copper ion level?
We recommend testing the copper level weekly and to maintain a level in the range of
0.2 ppm - 0.5 ppm. If you find that your copper level has gone above 0.5 ppm,
remove the device from the water.
Note: Do not allow copper content of the water to go above 1 ppm at any time. High
copper level can tinge the water green and copper can begin to precipitate on solid
surfaces.
How do I check the copper ion level?
Using a copper test strip, please dip the strip into your pool water and remove it
immediately. Then hold the strip level, not shaking the excess water off the strip. After
15 seconds, please compare the pad of the strip to the color chart on the test strip
bottle.
Note: The test strips are not as effective at testing LOW levels of copper ions as they
are at testing for HIGH levels of copper ions. Testing for high levels is what is
important. If over 0.5 ppm, you should remove the ionizer for a week or until the
levels are lower. While it may be difficult to determine the low-level copper readings, if
the copper anode is corroding, ions are being created. Low level of 0.1 ppm is usually
sufficient to prevent algae growth.
