EAAZPOOL SOLAR IONIZER GUICK GUIDE
STEP 1: PREPARING YOUR POOL
STEP 3: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
STEP 2: USING THE SOLAR POOL IONIZER
Start with clear, algae-free water. If your pool water is not clear enough, you may need
to “shock” the does of oxidizer/chlorine prior to floating the Solar Pool Ionizer.
02
/
Starting chlorine levels should be between 1.5–3.0 ppm and pH levels between 7.6 –7.8
ppm.
03
/
Use the included Copper Test Kit to check that levels are between 0.0 – 0.1 ppm. If
levels are higher, this may indicate previously used algaecides, which should be
removed by using a sequestering or chelating agent.
To remove the mesh basket, place downward pressure on it while unscrewing the
screw, otherwise it will be difficult to loosen. Do not over-tighten the screw when
placing back on or it can strip the threads.
Use the supplied metal brush to clean the blue/green mineral build-up from the
copper anode and stainless-steel coil. TIP: Cleaning when wet is much easier.
For easier cleaning, you can soak the copper anode in vinegar overnight and then
rinse it off. The copper anode and stainless-steel coil do not have to be perfectly
clean for the unit to function properly.
This Solar Ionizer purifies and protects against microorganisms by transforming your
water! This transformation into biologically healthy and algae-resistant mineral water
is done using safe and effective low power output. EaazPool’s Solar Ionizer acts as a
percolating charger to generate ions from the power of the sun. This Ionizer can be
used effectively in both saltwater and non-saltwater pool systems. The EaazPool
Solar Ionizer’s ability to generate beneficial mineral ions while collecting undesirable
minerals as calcium and iron truly set it apart from competitors. This ability has an
effect that softens your water.
The Ionizer’s anode is designed to be sacrificial and to slowly erode forming a scale
buildup requiring occasional cleanings. This buildup on the anode is completely
normal and means it is functioning as intended!
01
/
Perform a weekly cleaning of the copper anode, stainless-steel coil, and mesh basket.
01
/
Float the Solar Pool Ionizer in the water and allow it to get full sun all day. The Solar
Ionizer needs at least 4-5 hours of sunlight.
Sufficient copper ions levels will take 2 – 3 weeks to build-up in your water. While in
this waiting period, you will have to keep algae down by continuing your regular
maintenance.
02
/
Operate the pool pump during the daylight hours to promote circulation and distribution
of copper ions.
03
/
You will see a blue/green mineral build-up on the copper anode within 5–7 days,
indicating the unit is functioning.
05
/
Do not add algaecide or water clarifiers to your water.
If you need to shock your pool,
use a chlorine-free shock treatment.
04
/
Once copper levels have reached 0.2 – 0.5 ppm, you can reduce chlorine levels to 1.0-
2.0 ppm. If the ion reading exceeds 0.5 ppm, remove the device from the water for one
week and monitor the ion level (weekly). Once the level drops to 0.3 ppm or lower, return
the Ionizer to the pool and continue the weekly ion check.
(Important: Copper levels may not exceed 1.0 ppm at any time).
Copper levels can be
determined using the monitor that is included in the test kit. Once the maximum levels of
copper are reached, remove the solar ionizer from the water. The target copper ion level
is 0.3 ppm. If the ion level remains at 0.3 ppm, then continue to float all the time.
02
/
The copper anode should be replaced when it reduces to a 1/4" in diameter at its
thinnest point. It is normal to see pitting on the copper core anode as it wears.
Replacement parts are available at eaazpoolworld.com.

/
Do not add algaecides or water clarifiers to your water. These chemicals will remove all
beneficial ions generated by the Solar Pool Ionizer.
