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®.

19. MAINTENANCE
If necessary, carry out a monthly visual inspection. To clean the cell:
Stop the system and close the valves
Place the cell for no more than 10 minutes in 3% hydrochloric acid or put it for 2 to 4 hours in normal vinegar.
Once the incrustations have softened remove with a hose to complete cleaning the cell.
DO NOT USE METALLIC OR SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE INCRUSTATIONS. Scratching the edges or surface of the cell will make it
vulnerable to chemicals, deteriorate the cell and invalidate the guarantee.
The pool must be vacuumed as usual and the skimmers emptied whenever necessary.
FILTER BACKWASHING: At least once every week for 4 to 5 minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the cell is off while cleaning the lter. If the system controls the ltration pump, use the option “backwash” of the programmed ltration
mode. See chapter 13 - automatic backwash
Check regularly the level of your pH and APF®bottle to prevent the dosing pump from running dry.
pH / Redox / Conductivity – probes: The probes must be cleaned and recalibrated every 2 to 3 months. To clean the probe insert in
electrode cleaner. After each clean the probes must be re-calibrated.
Attention: the probes should never dry out and must be kept wet if stored (when emptying the pool for winterising, make sure
to store the probe head in water).

20. TROUBLESHOOTING
•If the salt concentration is correct (1- 2 kg/m3 MgCl2or 0.75 - 1.5 kg/m3NaCl): The cell is reaching its end of life. As of this moment check the intensity every 15-20 days.
•When polarity 2 does not reach intensity of Polarity 1, we recommend substituting the cell for a new one if it happens during the summer period. If it happens during winter,
change the cell before the next summer period.
Polarity 1 reaches maximum intensity, but polarity 2 (auto clean) does not reach maximum intensity
•Check if ON/OFF switch is illuminated.
•Check the connection wire between display and motherboard.
•Check the 3.15 A fuse of the device – it could have tripped due to overload.
•Check the power supply – 230V/50Hz.
•If the problem persists contact TECHNICAL SERVICE
•Lower hydrolysis cell intensity.
•If your system includes automatic Redox control, check the Redox setpoint value.
Reduce it by 50 to 100 mV.
•If your system includes free chlorine measurment, adjust the setpoint value.
•Check redox probe and calibrate it if necessary.
•Check the free chlorine probe and calibrate it.
Blank display Excess of chlorine in the water
•Attention: At 1200 TDS, 50 - 80% and the warning “LOW” is normal
• Low water temperature.
•Check the salt concentration (TDS) in water.
•Check the cell status (it may be incrusted or calcied).
•Clean the cell according to the instructions in section 19.
•Check that the cell is not worn out (remember that the cell is guaranteed for
5,000 hours, approx. 2-3 years of summer usage).
Hydrolysis does not reach the setpoint value
•Very hard waters with a high pH and total alkalinity: balance water adjusting pH
and total alkalinity.
•Check to ensure that the system automatically changes polarity approximately
every 300 minutes.
•Consult with our technical service to consider accelerating the polarity change
(auto-cleaning) . WARNING: Accelerating the polarity change decreases the cell
life (5,000 hours) proportionally. Don’t go below 200 minutes!
•If the crust is not foaming when in contact with acid, it might be Struvite. In this
case do not use anymore MgCl2, use only NaCl.
Cell incrusted in less than 1 month
•Check gas and paddle ow detector cable.
•Clean for incrustations of the paddle ow detector at the top of the cell housing.
•Check to see if system is free of air (gas detector must always be submerged).
•Metallic elements lack standardised earth connection. Contact an electrician to
solve the problem.
•Rusted components are not stainless steel (minimum 316/V4A/1.4571).
•The salt concentration (TDS) is too high.
•Attention Stainless Steel parts must be cleaned regularly

WARNING
Keep chemical levels in pool as instructed in this manual.
CLEANING FILTER
Very Important: Make sure the cell is off while cleaning/backwashing the lter. If the system controls the ltration pump, use the option “lter cleaning” of the programmed
ltration mode. See section 5 – Filtration / Filter Cleaning of the General Installation Guide.
VERY IMPORTANT
Remember that the system needs some time to adapt to your pool (up to 14 days)!
SECURITY
To avoid accidents, children should not handle this product unless supervised by an adult. Children should be supervised at all times when in or near a spa, pool or jacuzzi.
HANDLING AND DOSING DANGEROUS CHEMICALS
Chemicals should be handled with extreme caution. When preparing acid, always add acid to water, never add water to acid, because very dangerous gases may be produced.
•Increase the ltration hours to 24 hours
•Increase the hydrolysis level (to 100%).
•Increase the salt concentraion (TDS) in the water. Setpoint app. 1200 ppm.
•In an outdoor pool: Add ACO®to the water.
•Check if the reagents in test kit are in date.
•Check if the temperature or number of users has risen.
• If you want a higher chlorine level you have to increase the salt concentration.
Attention: Higher risk of corrosion!
Free chlorine level doesn’t reach the setpoint
•The maximum dosing time (standard 999 min.) is accomplished and the pH-
Minus dosing pump stops in order to avoid the acidication of the water.
•To delete the message and to restart the metering press ESC ( ). Do the
following verications in order to preclude errors on the device: Verify if the pH
probe reading is correct (if not, calibrate the probe or substitute it with a new
one); Verify if the acid/base reservoir is full and if the dosing pump is working
correctly; Verify the variable speed of the dosing pump.
Alarm AL3 and pH dosing pump stopped
Dosing pump is not working properly
21. IMPORTANT NOTES
•Check fuse on the right side of the dosing pump
• Check (and change) the dosing speed
• Check electrical connections
• Check tubes and ttings for leaks
• Check if injection valve is blocked
• Check if suction lance/suction weight is blocked
• Check if error message «TANK» appears. If yes replace bottle, if not check the
polarity of the suction lance or replace the suction lance

E.2 With the plus/minus keys, select
the pump type connected to the system
(the default is a standard pump type).
The conguration allows the control
of two different variable speed pumps
(Variable Speed A or Variable Speed B).
In case of a variable speed pump (A or
B), establish the speed when the cover
is closed, when the pool heating is
connected and/or it controls a backwash
lter (Besgo).
E.3 Variable Speed Pump A (Hayward® or similar):
During the ltration periods, the corresponding relay
closes. The ltration pump opens and closes contacts
depending on the speed:
Common + 1 – Slow speed
Common + 1 + 2 – Medium speed
Common + 1 + 2 + 3 – Fast speed
Variable Speed Pump A B (Speck® or similar): During
the ltration periods, the corresponding relay closes.
It’s necessary to connect a wire from the ltration relay
to the common. The ltration pump opens and closes
contacts depending on the speed:
Common + 1 – Slow speed
Common + 2 – Medium speed
Common + 3 – Fast speed

F.10 You can associate the level sensor (TANK) to the pH or chlorine (rX). This menu corresponds to the behavior of
the system after the TANK signal activation (acid deposit level TANK).
Ignore – TANK is not shown in the display
Inform – When the sensor detects that the level is low, the TANK alarm is displayed.
Force stop – When the sensor detects that the level is low, the TANK alarm is displayed and the associated dosing
pump stops.
F.1 F.2 F.3 F.2 There are 2 modes for the pH dosing pump:
F.3 Normal: Delay - Delay time between detection of incorrect
value and the start of dosing.
F.4 Repetitive: With the two timers you can programm the ON
and OFF time of the dosing pump
Scaling: Proportional reduction of the dosing time (Pump On
time) when getting close to the setpoint. Example 100%: The
pump time is reduced proportionally if the pH is closer than
1 to the setpoint. Example 50%: The pump time is reduced
proportionally if the pH is closer than 0.5 to the setpoint.
F.6 Other pumps: With the two timers you can programm the
ON and OFF time of the dosing pump
F.8 It corresponds to the behavior of the system after AL3
activation:
Ignore – AL3 is not shown in the display.
Inform – After the selected interval, the AL3 alarm is displayed.
Force stop – After the selected interval, the AL3 alarm is
displayed on the display and the dosing pump stops. To reset
the alarm and the dosing pump, press .
