IONIZING SETTINGS
POOL CONDITION
New Pools
The water condition of a new, freshly filled pool is a great
starting point for the Bionizer system. Simply balance your
pool according to the Snap Pool Balance chart. Your pool
professional will be able to assist with this.
Existing Pools
The Bionizer system should be installed on a clean, well
maintained pool. If the pool is in poor condition due to a
failed salt chlorinator or other cause, then consult a pool
professional to assist with getting back to good condition.
Finally, balance the pool according to the Snap Pool
Balance chart.
COPPER START-UP KIT
Pour the granules of the supplied Copper Start Up Kit at
the suggested dose rate (see page 11) into the skimmer
box whilst the filter is running. This will saturate the filter,
allowing the Bionizer to be effective from start-up.
BOOST FUNCTION
When the Bionizer is first installed on a new or existing
pool, we recommend that you use the Boost function, as
detailed on page 18. This will boost your Copper ion
levels quickly.
ENSURE THAT ALL POOL BALANCE LEVELS ARE
CORRECT BEFORE BOOSTING, ESPECIALLY pH AND
TOTAL ALKALINITY.
RECOMMENDED IONIZING SETTINGS
Drawing on our many years of experience in pool
ionizing, we have made the initial ionizing settings
extremely easy for the first time user.
When you entered your Pool Size during the first time
start-up, the Bionizer automatically adjusted the
Ionizing Output and Ionizing Time settings for your
pool. See page 13 for more information.
If you have changed the Ionizing Output and/or
Ionizing Time settings and wish to restore them to
the initial start-up settings, you can re-enter the Pool
Size again to reset them. See page 13.
!
Test your Copper Levels every 3 to 4 days for the
first 2 to 3 weeks after installation.
!
Ideal Copper Levels are :
Summer . . . . . . . 0.5 to 0.6 ppM
Winter . . . . . . . . 0.3 to 0.4 ppM (unheated pool)
In Tropical climates with high rainfall, the summer
level should be maintained all year round.
!
Adjust the Ionizing Time and/or Ionizing Output
settings until the Bionizer is consistently giving the
ideal Copper Ion Level.
!
Once you have established the best setting to
maintain the correct Copper level in your pool, it
will rarely require adjustment, except at the
beginning of summer or winter. However, we
recommend that you test Copper weekly to be sure
you pool will stay crystal clear.
!
If Copper readings drop in times of heavy rain, wind
or bather load, simply use the Boost (super ionize)
function to compensate for the increased
e nv i ro n m e n t a l s t r e s s t h a t t h e w a t e r i s
experiencing. The ions in the water will be
replenished. See page 18 for instructions.
