SECURING THE
ANTENNAS
Once you have decided where
to locate the unit you need to
wrap the antennas around the
pipe. It is normally easier to
start by putting a plastic tyrap
loosely around the pipe. Feed
the end of an antenna wire
through the tyrap and secure it
so that there is the least amount
of antenna left between the
tyrap and the unit. The shorter
this length of antenna, the more
you have available to wrap round the pipe and the better
the Aqua-Rex will work.
It is perfectly acceptable to allow the unit to hang
below the pipe, suspended on tyraps or on its
antennas. It does not need to be attached to a wall
or hard surface.
Wind the remaining antenna around the pipe so that there
are at least 12 turns, more if possible. Secure the other end
of the antenna with another plastic tyrap. Repeat the process
with the second antenna. Start it off in the opposite direction
of the first antenna winding as shown in the picture above.
It is important that the antennas are wrapped
around the pipe as tightly as possible. If they are
loose the process doesn’t work. Do not use tape to
secure the wires as the vibration from the flowing
water will loosen the wires.
POWER SUPPLY
The Aqua-Rex requires a standard 120 volt outlet for the
transformer. To reach a suitable outlet it may be necessary
to extend the low voltage 9v AC power cable. Additional
cable may be spliced in between the transformer and its plug.
A waterproof seal should be made over the connections.
Satisfactory tests have been conducted on a cable extension
of 500 yards. The low voltage power supply is 9v AC so
there is no need to be concerned about the polarity of the
wires.
To protect the plug/socket from damp and rain, use the heat
shrink tube supplied. Slide the heat shrink sleeve over the
plug, connect it to the socket and use a hair dryer to shrink
it into place.
PLUG / TRANSFORMER UNIT
Plug in the transformer and switch on the power supply. The
LED on the unit will flash, indicating that the unit is powered
up and that the program is sequencing through the range
of frequencies.
HOW THE UNIT WORKS
Once the unit has been installed correctly on the pool
circulation system it will pass a radio signal into the water
which causes the calcium ions to precipitate in suspension in
the water instead of on the surface of the pool.
Existing scale will also be removed over a few weeks and
any staining will disappear with it. Some Silica scale may
re-appear but it should be considerably less than previously.
Silica scale that has been leached from behind the tiles will
not necessarily be reduced.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING
The Aqua-Rex needs no maintenance or servicing but do
check occasionally to see that the LED light is flashing and
that the wires are tight on the pipe. If the Aqua-Rex stops
working, check first that the power supply to the transformer
is functioning by plugging another appliance or lamp into
the outlet and seeing if it works.
If the transformer is cold that means it has failed.
