IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this
product. This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions in this manual can result in serious injury
and/or damage to your equipment. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are
included in this manual.
The Power Supply internally contains live components. There is a danger of electric shock if opened.
If the power cord is damaged then it should be replaced by the manufacturer, their agent or similar.
To reduce the risk of injury,
DO NOT
permit young children to use this product unless they have
been trained by the person responsible for their safety and they acknowledge their ability to use such
equipment. To reduce the risk of accidents or incidents, service on the unit should only be performed
by your local pool Professional.
Ideally, as with all pool equipment, the controller should be installed out of direct weather. The service
life of the
Oasis SmartChem
will be longer if it is not exposed to direct sunlight and rain.
Before installing, and turning on the
Oasis SmartChem
system, take a sample of your Pool/Spa
water to a pool store and have it tested to ensure that the Pool/Spa system is properly balanced.
See below for recommended pool chemical ranges;
CHLORINE: 1 - 3ppm
pH 7.2 - 7.8
TOTAL ALKALINITY: 80 - 150 mg/L
CALCIUM HARDNESS: 90 - 300 mg/L
PHOSPHATE FREE: (0)
TOTAL DISOLVED SOLIDS: Below 1500ppm
Always take a sample of your pool water away from the return jets to ensure as accurate
reading as possible.
Always store Pool Chemicals in a well-ventilated position, at least 1.8M away from your pool
equipment to prevent fume build-up and causing corrosion of your pool equipment.
When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. If
you add water to acid, it will violently react (creating heat and boiling) and you may be splashed with
acid. Wear protective equipment such as Gloves and Face Shield when diluting the acid.
Only use diluted Acid, never use concentrated Acid. ACID should be diluted with water within the
range of 1 part Acid to 1 part Water (1:1) to 1 part Acid to 2 parts Water (1:2). Dilute the acid in a
well ventilate area and have running water ready. In case of spillage, wash down area immediately.
Always seek medical advice if breathing is affected or an Acid Burn occurs.
NEVER MIX CHEMICALS. Store your pool chemicals in containers that are visibly different by either
colour and or size. Poisonous Gas can be produced if you mix chemicals. Always store chemicals
in accordance to the relevant Dangerous Goods Codes and Standards.
It is highly recommended that you check your Water Chemistry (especially the pH and Chlorine
levels) regularly, either with a quality test kit or at your local pool store to ensure that the
Oasis
SmartChem
is working correctly, to ensure there are no malfunctions, and to ensure that the pH and
ORP sensors are reading correctly.
It is highly recommended that before you install the
Oasis SmartChem
system, that you sit the
probe/s in your pool water for 24hrs. This will help the probes to give a more accurate reading from
the time of installation and will help with the longevity of the probes.
