K). SETTING THE UNIT TO THE DESIRED LEVELS
The first step is getting the pool to the desired level of copper-ions as quickly as possible.
We recommend a copper-ion level of .15 to .20 ppm.
Make sure the pH is between 7.2 and 7.6 and never goes over 7.8
Push the button located on the front panel of the control box that has a arrow pointing ↑ up. Push it several times until
the LED lights on the control box reaches the top light, or “11”. This will be the maximum output of approximately
400mA of power going to the electrodes.

There are a lot of factors that can affect the rate the
MineralPURE
will produce the ions (see section O Troubleshooting
on page 12). In order to get the desired reading of 0.15 to 0.20 quickly, you will need to set the unit to its maximum
current output #11.
Other factors that affect the level ions are produced are keeping the pH under 7.8; the number of hours the filter runs, and
the setting of the unit. Other factors include water temperature and the amount of algae/bacteria already in the water.
As a rule of thumb, it will take about 24 hours to get a pool of 10,000 gallons fully "ionized" and to the desired level of
0.15-0.20. So if your pool is 20,000 gallons, it may take two full days of running "around the clock" to reach this level. If
you run the pool 8 hours a day (the normal time) it would take six days to reach the desired level.
Test Copper-ion levels daily at this stage until the desired levels are maintained.
Once the setting is established, it will only need to be adjusted as the seasons change.
