Welcome to the healthy luxury of a salt water swimming pool
We at ECO-matic are dedicated to providing you with the most luxurious, healthy, ‘natural’ pool water you have ever
experienced, as well as the most reliable product and the best after-sales service you could hope for.
Reading this Guide will help ensure that your ECO-matic system functions correctly and efficiently, help avoid the
expense of unnecessary service calls and make you aware of certain maintenance procedures which, if left undone,
may void warranties offered by the manufacturer. Please refer to the Trouble-Shooting section of this Guide if you are
experiencing problems.
Overview of the ECO-matic Salt Water Pool System
When pool salt is dissolved in pool water and then subjected to simple electrolysis (by way of the in-line ECO-matic
‘Cell’), the chloride portion of the salt (sodium chloride) is transformed into an effective sanitizer,* which has the ability
to oxidize (kill) bacteria, virus, algae and other such radicals which would otherwise flourish in the water. This process is
reversible, so does not consume the salt, which is simply used over and over again.
Sized to suit your particular pool or spa, your ECO-matic system will provide all of the sanitizer necessary to maintain
your pool/spa water in perfectly healthy condition, in an environmentally-perfect manner, by using and recycling a natural
product – salt. Your ECO-matic will do exactly the same thing as ‘pool chlorine’ would do, but without the need to add (or
swim in) potentially harmful, toxic man-made sanitizing chemicals.
*(HOCl the same effective sanitizer as would result if ‘pool chlorine’ was added to the water – but without the potentially
dangerous chlorine compounds and the obnoxious ‘chemical’ effects commonly associated with manual chlorination –
and without the need to handle chemicals.)
Your ECO-matic Equipment
When correctly installed, your ECO-matic will operate ONLY WHEN THE FILTER PUMP IS OPERATING and water is
flowing through the ‘Cell’. Your ECO-matic must not be able to operate while the filter pump is OFF. If your ECO-matic
continues to operate after the filter pump is switched OFF (as indicated by bubbling and cloudiness at the ‘Cell’), contact
your ECO-matic dealer or the person who installed your ECO-matic immediately and ensure that the fault is rectified.
