3. At least two lugs marked ‘Bond ing Lugs’ are provided on the external surface or on the inside of
the power control box (‘power s upply’). To reduce the risk of el ectric shock, connect the local
common bonding grid in the ar ea of the hot t ub or spa or pool to these terminals with an
insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.

Welcome to the luxury of a salt water swimming pool
We are dedicated to providing you with the most lu xurious pool water you have ever experienced, a s
well as the most reliable product and solid after-sales service you could hope for.
Reading this Guide will help ensure that your EC O-matic generator functions correctly and efficiently,
help avoid the expense of unnecessary service ca lls and make you aware of certain maintenanc e
procedures which, if left undone, may void warranties offered by the manufacturer. Please refer to the
Trouble-Shooting section of this Guide before calling your dealer.
Overview of the ECO-matic Salt Water Pool System
When salt dissolv ed in pool wat er and then subjected to simple electrolysis (by way of the in-line
ECO-matic ‘Cell’), the chlo ride portion of the salt (sodium chlori de) is transformed into an effective
sanitizer,* which has the ability to oxidize (kill) bacteria, algae and other suc h organics which would
otherwise flourish in the water. This process recycles, so it does not consume the salt, which is simply
used over and over again.
Sized to suit your particular poo l or spa, your ECO-matic system will provide the sanitizer necessary
to maintain your pool/spa water by using and recyc ling a natural product – sa lt. Your ECO-matic will
do exactly the same thing as ‘pool chlorine’ would do.
*(HOCl the same effective sanitizer as would result if ‘pool chlorine’ was added to the water – but
without the unpleasant aspects of chlorine compounds and without the need to handle them.)
Your ECO-matic Equipment
When correctly installed, your ECO-matic will oper ate ONLY WHEN T HE FILTER PUMP IS
OPERATING and water is flowing through the ‘Cell’. Your ECO-matic must NOT be able to oper ate
while the filter pump is OFF. If your ECO-matic cont inues to operate after the filter pump is switched
OFF (as indicated by bubbling and cloudiness at the ‘Cell’),
turn it off immediately , contact your
ECO-matic Dealer or the person w ho installed your ECO-matic imm ediately and ensure that the fault
is rectified.
Installation Summary
This is a quick guide as to how the ECO-matic shou ld be installe d. Refer to the following pag es 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. T he water flow direction through the cell hou sing should be ‘flowing away
from the Cell Head’. Inlet and outlet piping to be a minimum of 15cm (6”) in l ength (to provide for
easy Cell Housing replacem ent if this be comes necessary in the future). Refer to follo wing
pages for details.
2. Mount the power s upply onto a wall, etc.,
within reach of the ‘Cell’ cord. Connect to power so that power supply receives power only
when th
e filter pump is oper ating (both components
should switch on and off coincidentally). Refe r to following pages for important wiring
instructions.
