MAINTENANCE
6
1-
The pool must be vacuumed as usual and the skimmers emptied whenever necessary.
2-
Filter backwashing: with Sugar Valley systems the filter requires only occasional backwashing; once every 20 days should be sufficient (providing the filter pressure does
not exceed 1 bar, in which case a backwash may be necessary).
3-
ADDING NEW WATER: Always through the skimmers so that the new water passes through the Hidrolife before entering the pool. Remember to add the necessary salt:
6gr. per added litre of water.
4-
In winter CHANGING THE POOL WATER IS NOT RECOMMENDABLE. We recommend that the system runs 2-3 times per week (2-3hrs. per day).
DOSAGE PUMPS: Check regularly to ensure that the container contains liquid to prevent the dosage pump running dry. The dosage pump requires maintenance
(INSTRUCTIONS ON BOX).
PH PROBES/REDOX/CONDUCTIVITY: Probes must be cleaned whenever necessary (check every 5-6 months). To clean the probe insert in distilled water (Clear liquid).
After each cleaning the probes must be calibrated.
General maintenance
VERY IMPORTANT;
Ensure that the system is turned off during filter backwashing.

Cleaning the Titanium cell: Maintenance of the disinfection system (Electrolysis) consists of cleaning the cell or electrode every 2-3 months should it appear necessary (carry
out a visual inspection) To clean the electrode:
-Remove the cell from its support (after turning off the filtration system and closing off the necessary valves).
-Place the electrode for no more than 10 min. in 15% HYDROCHLORIC ACID (salfumant). 1,5l of acid for each 8,5l of water.
-Once the incrustations have softened remove with a hose to complete cleaning the cell.
USE NO METALIC OR SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE INCRUSTATIONS. Scratching the edges or surface of the cell will make it vulnerable to chemicals, deteriorate the
cell and annul the guarantee.
Titanium cell maintenance
During the first 10-15 days your pool system will require more attention and the following care:
1
CHECK THE PH REMAINS BETWEEN THE IDEAL LEVELS (7,2-7,4). If the PH is unusually unstable AND USES A LOT OF ACID check the alkalinity (Recommended
levels between 80 and 125ppm.).
2
The pool must be vacuumed and the skimmers cleaned whenever necessary to ensure perfect water conditions.
REMEMBER
that the Sugar Valley system requires a certain amount of time to adapt to your swimming pool and will require additional chemicals during the first 3-5 days.
Initial days of maintenance
The Redox level advises us of the potential oxidization or reduction level and is used to determine the level of water sterilization. The parameters or Set Points are the
minimum/maximum accepted REDOX levels before the titanium cell is connected/disconnected.
Adjusting the ideal REDOX level (set point) is the last step in the HIDROLIFE start up sequence. To find the optimum REDOX level for your pool follow these steps:
1.
Connect the pool filtration system (The salt in the pool must be adequately dissolved)
2.
Add chlorine to the pool till a level of 1-1,5ppm. Is achieved (Approx. 1-1,5gr/m3 of water). PH levels should be between 7,2 and 7,5.
3.
After 30 min. test the free chlorine levels in the pool (DPD1 manual test kit) If the free chlorine level is between 0,8-1,0ppm. Look at the REDOX screen and memorize
this level as the set point to CONNECT/DISCONNECT the hydrolysis cell (To memorize the set point see section 8)
4.
The next day check free chlorine levels (manual DPD1 test kit)and REDOX, Raise/lower set point if necessary
