responsible for their safety or have been instructed in the use of the appliance.
Children should be supervised in order to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.
OPERATION
The Copper Electrolyzer purifies the water in your pond by means of copper electrolysis. It is
recommended to use this device in combination with a UV-C device in order to achieve the best
possible result. The Copper Electrolyzer must be installed in the part of the piping system that will
return to the pond. In the case of a closed filter, install the Electrolyzer behind the filter; install the
device in front of the filter in the case of an open filter. The pond water flows through the housing of the
Copper Electrolyzer.
A copper unit, which is the actual electrolyzer, is fitted inside the housing. The copper unit releases
a little copper into the water that flows through the housing. These copper ions (Cu2+) in the water
have a positive charge, which will affect the cell walls of algae, bacteria, viruses and other primitive
organisms.
These organisms can no longer absorb nutrients through the damaged cell wall, and multiplication
becomes impossible. This process of generating a positive copper charge is called copper electrolysis.
By keeping the copper value in the pond between 0.1 and 0.2 ppm, hair algae will be destroyed and
their growth will be stopped. The copper in the water will act as a disinfecting buffer in your pond.
Thanks to the Copper Electrolyzer, the water in your pond will be disinfected in an efficient and safe
manner, and the development of hair algae, slime algae and floating algae can be controlled.
