4 Amp fuse relays
The DA-GEN®is an innovative water treatment system and additional an intelligent pool controller. The DA-GEN®
combines Hydrolysis with Electrolysis with a low mineral content.
The Hydrolysis produces free radicals and other oxygen compounds like ozone, peroxide and persulfate. All these
oxidants destroy organic substances and pathogens in the water. Free radicals are the strongest oxidants we
know. They oxidise and decompose in a few seconds. To guarantee a safe residual disinfection the DA-GEN®
produces a very small amount of chlorine. In combination with Dryden DAISY®we need a very low mineral
content of 1 to 2 kg MgCl2or NaCl per m3.
The DA-GEN®also controls all your pool equipment centrally. Thanks to WiFi you can check and control your
pool system 24/7.

We recommend to add 1 to 2 kg magnesium chloride (MgCl2) or normal salt (NaCl)
per m3of water. The TDS should be at around 1200. It is recommended to mix them,
for example in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:3 (MgCl2:NaCl).
Add the magnesium chloride or salt directly to your swimming pool and let the
system run.
In outdoor pools it is necessary to use ACO®.
Water adjustments Adding activator/salt to the water
Attention: Let the system run 24 hours before
calibrating and make sure to have a free
chlorine level of at least 0.3 ppm free chlorine!

10.11 Calibration of pH probe: Recom-
mended at least every 2-3 months during the
usage season. Calibrate it always rst with
the Buffer (2pt).
10.12 Calibration with buffers (buffer pH7 /
pH10 / neutral): Follow the instructions that
appear on the display.
10.14 Manual calibration: Allows
manual adjustment of the probes – only
recommended to correct small deviations in
the readings.
10.15 Without removing the probe from the
water, use the plus/minus keys to adjust the
reading so it matches your reference value
(photometer or other measurement).

10.31 Calibration of the Free Chlorine probe:
Recommended at least every 2 to 3 months
10.32 Calibration with buffer (photometer
DPD1): Follow the instructions in 6 steps that
appear in the display.
10.33 Step 1 of 6 - Calibrate Cl at 0 ppm
(offset): Close the water ow through the probe
and wait for 5 to 60 min until the reading is close
to 0. Press OK
10.34 Step 3 of 6 - Calibrate Cl: Set the water
ow to the correct rate of 80-100 litres/hour.
Wait for 5 to 20 min until there is a stable ppm
reading. Press OK.
10.35 Step 5 of 6 - Establish the real ppm
values with the plus/minus keys according to
your DPD1 (free chlorine) value
10.36 Step 6 of 6 - If this screen is not shown
repeat the calibration process.
4.38 Manual calibration: Open the water ow
and set the owmeter (rotameter) to the correct
owrate (50-100l/h). Wait until the current level
is stable. Set the chlorine level with the plus/
minus keys, manually (use a manual DPD1 test
kit). Press OK when value is correct.
