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. If you have a Ventura
Deluxe initiate a manual flush cycle. 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 please
contact our technical support for instructions on how to adjust the system.
