Testing the system 

Normally no adjustment is necessary as the unit has been set up at the factory for your water-
maker, however it is advisable to make sure it is working properly. You will need Spectra test 
kit #

EL-ZION-TESTKIT. 

  Once the installation is complete and the unit is powered up, activate 

the FW flush by pushing the auto store button on the MPC controller once. The LED on the Z-
ION controller should start flashing as the unit cycles. Close to the end of the flush cycle, take a 
sample of the brine discharge. If the discharge thru hull isn't accessible you will need to use the 
brine discharge service hose to gain access to the system. Once you have obtained a sample first  
check it with a salinity monitor  to make sure the salinity is below 1000 PPM. Next, use the 
copper test kit to make sure that there is at least 1 PPM of copper in the flush water. This will 
also insure that there is adequate silver in the mix to kill the bacteria. 

If the flush water is above 1000 PPM or does not have adequate copper content then contact 
our technical support for instructions on how to adjust the system.
