INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING)
INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED PROFESSIONAL
1. The Chamber must be installed in line on the return side (after the filter) to the pool:
a. Primary position: after the heater, before any salt/chlorination system.
b. Secondary position: after the filter, before the heater.
This unit may be installed vertically or horizontally and has no required flow direction.
Each of the unions on the chamber contains an o-ring. Ensure that these o-rings are
lubed and in the proper position prior to tightening the unions.
2. The Electronic Control Box must be installed no further than 6 (six) feet from the
chamber. It must be connected to the load side of the timer only to run with the
circulation pump.
a. The length of the cable from the chamber to the Electronic Control Box CANNOT
be lengthened or shortened –it is a specific length to ensure that the impedance of
the chamber is matched properly with the control head to maximize calcium
scaling prevention.
b. The AC power connection from the electronic control head to the timer is the
responsibility of the installer and must meet applicable UL standards and must be
installed in accordance with all local ordinances, and the National Electric Code
(NEC) NFPA 70.
3. Connect the plug on the low-voltage cable from the chamber to the appropriate male
ended plug at the bottom of the Electronic Control Box (see following page for further
instruction).
CAUTION: The low-voltage cord is a set length for proper operation, if the
length is modified, the warranty will be void. Use only approved wiring for
power connection.

USING THE MPULSE 3000®WITH A SALT WATER
CHLORINE GENERATOR OR AN OVER-
CHLORINATED SWIMMING POOL
CAUTION: THIS OPERATION SHOULD ONLY BE COMPLETED BY A
PROFESSIONAL
After completely removing power from the input power source using a suitable
disconnect or by unplugging the product, remove the protective plate by removing
the three screws holding it on. You will see the equivalent of the above diagram.
Note the switch labeled “A” and “B”.
Standard position is “A”. This will be used for swimming pools with standard
sanitization (chlorine, etc.).
For use with a “Salt Water Chlorine Generator”, and high conductivity pools
change the switch to the “B” position. Either position can be used to decalcify
pool. Unit will keep salt generators cleaner from scaling.
Replace the protective plate (screw torque: 25-in lbs) and continue with use of the
MPULSE 3000®.

FOR SWIMMING POOL PROFESSIONALS ONLY
TO SWITCH FROM A 220/230V UNIT TO 110/115V UNIT
After turning off the power to your unit, remove the protective plate by removing
the three screws holding it on. You will see the equivalent of the above diagram.
Note the circled Voltage Select Switch. Default position of this unit is 220/230V.
The majority of swimming pool equipment sets are provided with 220-240V
electrical power. If you come across a swimming pool that instead utilizes
100-120V power, please use the following instructions:
1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, place it in the slot in the Voltage Select
Switch currently labeled 230V.
2. Move the Voltage Select Switch to the left carefully, until it reaches the far
left side and reads 115V.
Replace the protective plate (screw torque: 25-in lbs) and continue with use of the
MPULSE 3000®.

FOR SWIMMING POOL PROFESSIONALS ONLY
If existing AC cabling is not long enough for installation, external wiring and conduit can be
installed to the box. When installed with conduit, the unit should be connected to an AC branch
circuit with a maximum 20 A circuit breaker or fuse which meets the requirements for branch
circuit protection. A suitable disconnect device must be provided in the branch, either a circuit
breaker or switch, that can be employed to disconnect power to the system during servicing.
1) Remove the safety cover, loosen factory installed power cord from the AC INPUT terminal
and remove strain relief bushing from the opening in the enclosure.
2) Install new ½” trade size, UL Listed conduit fitting into 7/8” diameter opening and
tighten/install in accordance with the fitting’s instructions. Fitting and conduit should be
suitable for the installation environment, such as liquid tight conduit, and installed in
compliance with all applicable local ordinances and the NEC.
a. The AC INPUT terminal can handle COPPER wire 8 to 18 AWG solid or stranded.
3) Pull new copper wiring thru conduit into the box, provide service loop and strip ends of wire
insulation 5/16”.
4) Connect new wiring to the AC INPUT terminal as follows:
115V Configuration: 230V Configuration:
L1 –115V (often black) L1 –230V Phase A (black)
L2 –Neutral (often white) L2 –230V Phase B (black)
GND –Ground (green) GND –Ground (green)
5) Torque terminal screws to 16 in-lbs (1.8 Nm) tight.
6) Set AC VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH to the appropriate input voltage [115 / 230].
7) Select conductivity [A] or [B].
8) Install safety cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE “FUNCTION” LED LIGHT COMES
ON
During normal operation of your MPULSE 3000®, the Power LED will be illuminated
blue and the Function LED red light will be extinguished. Use either conductivity
switch position A or B as long as the LED red light is extinguished.
Whenever power is applied to the Electronic Control Box, the Function LED will
briefly illuminate and then turn off if the Electronic Control Box does not detect any
Fault Conditions. If the Function LED remains illuminated, see below for trouble
shooting options:
Troubleshooting Options:
1. Check to ensure that the Chamber is plugged into the Electronic Control Box.
2. Ensure that there is water flowing through the chamber. Lack of proper water
flow will lead to a Red Function light.
3. Ensure that there are no “shorts” or “opens” in the Chamber cord.
4. Change to alternative conductivity switch position if red LED remains
illuminated.
5. Have you recently treated the pool with muriatic acid or chlorine? This could
change the conductivity of the water leading to a red light. Wait for 48 hours
and check again.
6. Check chemistry and make sure that chlorine and pH levels are within proper
range. If they are out of limits electronic box will give red light until it
measures 48 hours of conductivity acceptable water.
If none of the above options improve proper unit function, turn off the power to the
unit (switch the timer off) for 10 seconds to reset the electronics and test again.
If the Function light continues to glow red, please contact Technical Support at
877-882-4695 or review other information on our website www.4deepblue.com

CONDITIONS IN REGARDS TO USE OF THE MPULSE 3000®POOL
WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
Results of use with the MPULSE 3000®Pool Water Treatment System may vary. As
with any swimming pool product of this nature, overall success depends on many
factors which include but are not limited to:
Amount of calcium hardness contained in the water (Recommended levels are
200-400 PPM)
Age of water (water should be changed every 3-4 years)
Source of water (private well, municipality, etc.)
Age and wear of the swimming pool surfaces
Chemical maintenance and pH balance
Seasonal temperatures and duration of filtering cycle (8 hours minimum in
season adjust as water requires)
Porous surfaces (i.e. rock features) and splash areas around spill-ways and at pool
water level
Pool owners and service personnel must remember that regular maintenance and
scheduled service must be followed in order for the MPULSE 3000®to provide the highest
level of performance. This includes a regular weekly maintenance schedule consisting of
(but not limited to): maintaining a pH level between 7.2 and 7.6, maintaining an Alkalinity
level between 80 to 120 PPM. Maintenance should also include regularly brushing the
water line, spillways, tile, and water features, as well as any other calcium plagued areas of
the swimming pool.
Generally, Muriatic Acid is used in swimming pools to lower the pH level, and to aid in
balancing Alkalinity.
Maintaining a pH level between 7.2 and 7.6 in swimming pool water, helps to ensure
other pool chemicals work properly. It also helps prevent damage to pool surfaces and
equipment, and it also helps prevent eye irritation.
While controlling the form of calcium in the swimming pool, the MPULSE 3000® also
aids in the process of balancing the pH levels by releasing the positive hydrogen ions
from the calcium bicarbonate. In high concentrations, acid can also free these positive
ions from calcium bicarbonate.
Adding unnecessary Muriatic Acid will change the conductivity of the water and could
effect the operation of the MPULSE 3000® and negate the scale reduction. When the acid

10
dissipates, the conductivity will return to normal and the MPULSE 3000® will perform
correctly again. Always check pH levels prior to adding Muriatic Acid.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The mPULSE3000 does not remove calcium and due to evaporative
conditions, calcium will still be visible in SPLASH ZONES around water
features, zero edge pools and spillways the calcium will be evident unless the
water is continuously reintroduced into the main body of water which
continuously retreats the calcium. The variance of this visible calcium is
dependent upon the water in your specific area.
