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’. Inlet and outlet piping
to be a minimum of 6” in length (to provide for easy Cell Housing replacement if this becomes necessary in the
future). Refer to following pages for details.
2. Mount the ‘Power Pack’ onto a wall, fence or post, etc., within reach of the ‘Cell’ cord. Connect to power so that
‘Power Pack’ receives power only when the filter pump is operating (both components should switch on and off at
the same times). Refer to following pages for important wiring instructions.
3. Connect ‘Cell’ to ‘Power Pack’. Refer to following pages for connection details.
4. Add salt to the pool water.
The Components of Your ECO-matic
The ‘Power Pack’
The ‘Power Pack’ (or Power Control) contains the
electrical components which transform the mains power
supply to the low voltage DC current required to operate
the ECO-matic ‘Cell’, as well as the other various operating
and control functions of the ECO-matic system.
The ‘Cell’
The ECO-matic ‘Cell’ is the component which comes
into contact with the pool/spa water and which, through a
process of electrolysis, produces (from the ‘natural’ salt
dissolved in the water) the sanitizer/oxidizer necessary
to maintain the water in a healthy condition. The ‘Cell’ is
comprised of sophisticated materials specifically designed
and engineered for ECO-matic’s intended purpose.
The Salt
A basic ingredient of the ECO-matic process is Pool Salt.
The salt is added directly into the pool or spa water to produce the water salinity required to enable your ECO-matic to
function properly. Pool Salt is available in bags of various sizes from your local pool professional.
