Thank you for choosing Spectra’s Z-Ion system!  This revolutionary adap-
tation of an ancient technology effectively and safely protects the mem-
brane and filters on your Spectra watermaker. 
 
The Z-Ion system introduces a stream of metallic ions that kill the organ-
isms in your watermaker and create an environment that prohibits them 
from growing and going anaerobic.  The result is that your system will be 
kept ready to operate without any additional flushing, external power 
sources, pickling chemicals, or complex procedures.  The whole operation 
is completely automatic, controlled by the Z-ION circuit! 
 
When properly installed and maintained it will protect your watermaker for 
up to 3 months*, without requiring additional flushes or external power be-
ing present. 
 
Please check the contents of this kit to ensure it is complete.  Report any 
missing items to Customer Service immediately.  Any shortages must be 
reported within 30 days of receiving the equipment.
