This revolutionary adaptation of an ancient technology effectively and safely protects the mem-
brane and filters on your Spectra Watermaker. Your system will be kept ready to operate with-
out any additional flushing, external power sources, pickling chemicals, or complex procedures.
The Z-Ion should be energized at all times, but will only consume power when water is running
through it. Upon initial power-up the LED will flash red/green and then will turn solid green.
Follow the instructions on page 35 for Normal Operation and Fresh Water Flush. For treatment
with the Z-Ion, the process is identical, only the Z-Ion will release silver and copper ions into the
flush water.
When fresh water flows, the operation cycle begins and the LED will flash green/amber. The
cycle will continue until either the water flow stops or the adjustable timer times out (factory
set for 15 minutes).
If the voltage is out of range, below 10V or above 56V, the LED will flash red every two seconds
and the unit will shut down.
Each fresh water flush with the Z-Ion will protect your watermaker for up to 30 days, after
which the process must be repeated.
After 720 cycles the service light on the front of the control box will light up, indicating that the
probes on your Z-Ion may be wearing down, and should be tested. The service light is just a re-
minder, and the Z-Ion will go on functioning while it is lit. For testing procedures, see the next
page.
To reset the service counter, touch two magnets, at the same time, to the two red reed switch-
es on the Z-Ion circuit board, labeled Switch 1 and Switch 2 below.
