Installing the
Aqua Soleil
swimming pools ioniser:
In drafting these instructions we have assumed that the installer has a good all round working knowledge of
basic electronics, pumps, filters, piping, fountains and water features. This unit is designed for
indoor use
and
must be installed in a protected environment by a suitably qualified tradesperson or competent handyman.
Where there is no alternative but to install it outdoors, it must be fully enclosed in a weather-proof enclosure.
Damage resulting from exposure to the elements will void your warranty.
For ease of programming and monitoring, we recommend that it be mounted 1500 mm from the floor and as
near as is practical to the flowcell. Run the electrodes lead from to the control unit to the flowcell and connect
to the electrode terminals. In the event that the flowcell is beyond the reach of the standard electrode cable
supplied, it may be extended by up to 10 metres by adding a length of twin-core “figure 8” cable of equal or
greater cross-sectional area.
Aquavic Flowcell:
To avoid the possibility of air-trapping, this unit must be installed either vertically, or inclined, in the return to
pool line. Having decided on a location, remove a suitable length of pipework, deburr, and install the flowcell
using plumber’s PVC primer and “P” rated solvent cement. Allow 24 hours to cure before running the pump.
And finally:
Because an ioniser must not run on “dead water” it is important to ensure that the ioniser runs only when the
pump is running. To guarantee the all-important interlock between the two, the ioniser’s power pack should
be plugged into the same power outlet as the pump.
If this is not possible, the ioniser’s time-clock must be synchronised with the pump run times. Running the
ioniser on “dead water” will cause the electrodes to become fouled and fail well before their usual 3 to 4
years life span.
