COPPER TEST IN POOL AND SPA WATER
Testing water is important to ensure there’s sufficient levels of
FREE
mineral ions available for disinfection
and/or remove unit if there’s too much copper. Chlorine levels may be reduced, once free copper level is
2 ppm. Additional factors such as water temperature, amount of sunlight, humidity, rainfall etc. may affect
the disinfectant(s) needed. Please contact us for more information.
Water testing at a state certified water lab

Visual verification methods
To visually verify is a solar ionizer is functional without a water test, we have found the following to be
helpful:
Solar ionizer LED, is it glowing blue - YES, it’s working!
A blueish tint on bottom of ionizer basket after a few days, is validation that ionization is taking place.
Visually inspect the pool for algae and if you don't see any in pool and/or spa, it is an indication that
copper and silver ions are helping to sanitize the water.
Sooriyan solar pool and spa ionizer will work in a pool with shade and/or reduced sunlight. Pools that have
a lot of shade or in a screened area may require multiple units.
Copper test strips are inaccurate and
provides unreliable information.
