its normal level, or approximately .0.9.
2.
.The pH may now be in the range of 7.2-7.8. The Solar water purifier works well at higher pH values, so do not arbitrarily attempt to adjust
the pH if it is within this recommended range. In general, use your Solar water purifier just enough to maintain an adequate ion level, and to
determine how little chlorine is necessary to keep the water clear. Allow the water to settle down and seek its own balanced condition .
3.
Clean electrodes weekly, or as required.
ELECTRODE CLEANING
Solar water purifier is the only purifier that, in addition to generating beneficial mineral ions, collects undesirable minerals such as calcium and iron.
This has the effect of softening your water. The sacrificial mineral electrode is designed to slowly erode away, and in the process will form a scale
buildup which will require occasional cleaning. Additionally, the spring electrode may form a calcium scale and should also be cleaned. The initial
rate of buildup will be quicker in harder water, and will slow as the water becomes progressively softened. It is advantageous to clean them
weekly as heavily scaled electrodes will restrict electrical flow and slow the ionization process.
1.
Lay unit face down, preferably on grass.
2.
Remove thumbscrew, screen and end-cap.
3.
Using a garden hose nozzle, blast with water
from different directions to knock off loose
material and scale.
4.
Reduce the water flow and let the water run
over the electrodes. Use a cleaning brush
to remove the remaining residue.
AND/OR
With water running over the electrodes, slide the spring up and down, while making contact with the center electrode from various directions. The
residue will wash away with the water.
The center electrode does not need to be cleaned down to bare metal, although the spring is relatively easy to clean completely. If the majority
of
the scale is removed, the Solar water purifier will perform as designed. It is not possible to clean the electrodes too much or too often. The cleaner
the electrodes, the more efficient the Solar water purifier will be. Occasionally, the screen will require cleaning to ensure a free flow of water and
ion exchange. Because the mesh is very fine, deposits can slowly choke the openings in the screen and restrict water flow. To clean the white
mesh screen.
1.
Hose out loose debris.
2.
Immerse screen in a jar of vinegar until visually free of blue/white scale buildup
OR
1.
Mix about 1/3 muriatic or hydrochloric acid to 2/3 water in a jar and immerse screen into this mixture. The cleaning process will take a
minute or less. Do not expose screen to the acid mix for more than a minute as it could soften the plastic.
2.
Rinse screen and reinstall.
