GETTING STARTED 
 

Solar-Clear®/Solar Pür™ natural pool water purifiers help protect your pool against 
algae and other microorganisms. Solar-Clear®/Solar Pür™ natural pool water purifiers 
will transform your swimming pool water into a more natural, mineral infused, water that 
is biologically healthy and algae resistant. Using a safe and effective low power output, 
Solar-Clear®/Solar Pür™ natural pool water purifiers act as a trickle charger to generate 
ions from the mineral anode using the solar power of the sun

a process called “solar 

ionization”. During an initialization period it is imperative to maintain a normal sanitizer 
level of 1-3 ppm free available chlorine until the ion concentration level has reached the 
desired level. 
 

1.  Test pool water for free available chlorine and pH using a standard pool water 

test kit or strips. Maintain a free available chlorine level of 1-3 ppm and a pH in 
the range of 7.2-7.6. 

2.  Maintain water clarity by “shocking” the pool water using an appropriate dosage 

of non-chlorine oxidizer. 

3.  Using the copper ion test strips provided, check for the presence of copper ions 

in the pool water (see ion testing below). At the outset the expected level of 
copper ions in the pool water should be 0-.1 ppm. Higher concentrations of 
copper ions may be detected if a copper based algaecide was previously used 
and/or if the pool water is acidic and copper pipes are present in the filter 
circulation system. 

4.  Place the Solar-Clear®/Solar Pür™ natural pool water purifier in the pool and 

allow it to float freely. Be sure that the unit is receiving direct sunlight. To ensure 
that the unit is getting sufficient sunlight it may be necessary to tether it in a 
suitable area of the pool using a suitable rope or cord. 

5.  For maximum efficiency the pump and filter system should be operated during 

the daylight hours, during which time the Solar-Clear®/Solar Pür™ natural pool 
water purifier is generating mineral ions, to permit optimum mixing and 
circulation. 

6.  Whether or not the pump and filter system are operated at night it is not 

necessary to remove the Solar-Clear®/Solar Pür™ natural pool water purifier  
from the pool.
