E-Clear MK7/CF1-150 Reference guide

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES – Natural Oxygen systems
The MK7/CF1- 75 has a 63mm Cell. Reduce to your pipe size (reducers not supplied)
The MK7/CF1-150 has a 90mm Cell
“CHECK LIST” BEFORE INSTALLATION: - To Achieve a prompt clear non toxic water.
1. Change your sand regardless of age. Filtration is paramount. The sand required is a
minimum of 150kg for a normal sized pool. If unsure, please check with us. The
larger the filter the better the filtration. Use high grade glass (silica) sand
between 0.4 to 0.8 filter grit size.
2. If you have poor grouting, regrout the pool with high grade grouting pH neutral. If
your pool is old then acid wash your pipes to remove calcium. We recommend you do
this even if the pool is just a few years old.
3. If your pool has been used with a salt system, you will need to change all the
water. Salt is simply too corrosive. Even if your pool is new (using salt), you must
also change the sand.
4. Your Chlorine or Bromine needs to be depleted. Do NOT add these products from
here onwards.
5. If the above is adhered to, you will have a trouble free pool that will last for years
and years! This will also make your initial start-up very easy.
REQUIRED FOR WATER SET UP BEFOR SWITCH ON: -
1. 5-10 litres of Active Oxygen. (Depending on pool size)
2. 5-10 litres of non copper based algaecide. (Depending on pool size)
3. Non metallic floc cubes (optional).
FOR YOUR REFERENCE – DIAGRAM ATTACHED.
CELL POSITION: -
The electrode chambers can be installed horizontally or vertically if need be. It is preferable
to keep the unit and cells in the supplied frame but on occasions this may not be possible
depending on your pump room.
CELL CHAMBER PIPE CONNECTIONS: -
Connect are shown in the attached diagram. Please pay attention to these Connections e.g.
Note they are the same connections but fitted in reverse.
WATER FLOW:-
Water must first flow through the pump, filter, eClear chambers and then back to the return
jets and into the pool. Connect the eClear system using a BYPASS.
CABLE CONNECTIONS TO ELECTRODES: -
The White cables – (Figure 10)connect to the Oxygen electrodes with the thin Black Plates!
The Black cables – (Figure 11) connect to the Algaecide electrodes with the thick Red
Plates.

INSTALL: -
Install the unit on the wall (bolts and spacers supplied) where ever convenient for your pipe
work. Cut your existing pipe after the filter and before the return jest. Connect a BYPASS. If
you need to clean your electrodes or replace the algaecide electrodes this will make life easier
and it is just good maintenance to use the bypass when adding pH correction or vacuuming
the pool. The Unit must be OFF! Now Check for leaks and circulate.
Procedure 1: -
1. Open BYPASS pipe Valve and close the eClear pipe Valves so the water will not flow
through the eClear chambers.
2. Backwash and Rinse Filters very well.
3. Switch Multi-Valve to Circulation. Commence to circulate water.
4. Correct pH by mixing pH correction into a bucket of water and add this directly into the
skimmer so that the solution goes through the Circulation (not through the filter) and then
into the Pool-Water.
5. Wait 10 minutes. Switch Multi-Valve back to FILTRATION and circulate water.
6. Considering you have depleted your chlorine or Bromine levels, add ACTIVE OXYGEN
(see product label for instructions) Add directly into the skimmer. You can also add a little
NON COPPER based algaecide. These products are used only for the first 1 or 2 weeks!
These should be added with Multi-Valve on FILTRATION.
7. Check that all the settings on the Unit are set to HIGH. This is achieved by switching the
pool-size switch - (Figure 2) to maximum pool size and setting A. The Potentiometer
knob - (Figure 3) should be fully anti clockwise. Switch the Unit ON - (Figure 7) Make
sure the OXYGEN and IONIZATION switches are ON - (Figure:14-15)If you have
the UV (Optional)Then also switch on the UV - (Figure 9).
8. Check the conductivity mA meter. (Figure 1)Raise to 200mA for the MK7/CF1-75. For
the MK7/CF1-150 raise to 250mA. This is achieved by setting the pool size switch -
(Figure 2) to A or B,then turn the potentiometer knob slowly clockwise - (Figure 3).
This will also depend on the conductivity of your water. If the dosing meter indicates a
very high output e.g. 400mA or above, turn down the potentiometer (Figure 3). If the
reading is still too high change the switch - (Figure 2) to the Bsetting to achieve an
output of 200mA to 300mA maximum.
9. Run the pool 24/7 non-stop for 7 days an Re-Check the pH. Correct if necessary. Check
the copper residual by following the instructions from the test kit provided. Take the water
sample from a depth of at least 40cm and from the centre of the longest pool wall. The
level of Copper residual required is between 0.5ppm and 0.7ppm. If lower, continue
filtration 24/7 until you reach the 0.5ppm – 0.7ppm optimum Copper residual.
10. Whilst the copper residual is rising add a little more Active Oxygen and the non Metallic
algaecide at this point. This will keep your pool clear until the water is fully Ionised.
11. When the above readings are achieved, switch Ionization OFF - (Figure 15)and continue
to sanitize your pool water on the Oxygen Mode only (Figure 14). You will only switch
your Ionization on again if your Copper residual drops below 0.5ppm as indicated by the
test kit supplied. If this happens then run the filtration again 24/7 and check every 24
hours the copper level until you have achieved again the 0.5ppm to 0.7ppm copper
residual. Otherwise you remain constantly on your Oxygen Mode.
12. Now set your filtration to Automatic and the hours necessary.
13. Follow water maintenance weekly programme supplied.

FOR POOLS THAT SHUT DOWN IN THE WINTER
PROCEDURE 2: -
1. Back-Wash and rinse filters.
2. Switch Unit to IONIZATION. Run 24/7 non-stop and check Copper level. Run Unit until you
achieve a reading of 1ppm.
3. Shut down the pool. Switch Unit OFF.
4. START-UP procedure beginning of new season: - Unit should be OFF Set BYPASS valves
to BYPASS the eClear system.
5. Back-Wash and rinse filters thoroughly.
6. Adjust pH to between 6.8ppm and 7.2ppm with the Multi-Valve set to CIRCULATION.
7. Set Multi-Valve to FILTRATION. Add ACTIVE OXYGEN to shock pool water - (see product
label for instructions) Add directly into the skimmer.
8. Place a natural Non Metallic Floc cube into the pump Pre-Filter. (Action Cube recommended).
9. Add a Non-Metallic Algaecide through the skimmer (See recommended dosage on the
container) normally at 1 Litre per 40m3
10. Run pump on FILTRATION 24/7 Non-Stop until clear. Back-Wash filters every 24 Hours!
11. When water is clear. Set BYPASS Valves to flow through the eClear.
12. Switch Unit ON. Now begin at number 7of PROCEDURE 1.
WARNING FOR INSTALLATION IN OLD POOLS
PROCEDURE 3: -
After a few days of use, considering the water was crystal clear, your pool may then become
cloudy! The natural OXYGEN process will begin to detoxify your pool walls and pipe-work. It will
begin to leach out the Calcium.
NOTE!!! It could take as long as 2 weeks to finally obtain clear consistent water.
REMEDY:-
This is a short term and initial set up problem meaning that you did not confirm
your pool shell and filtration system with us prior to installation for full advice! If
your tiled pool has sound grouting, the filter sand is new and the pipes have been
cleaned then your pool is being detoxified. The natural Oxygen process is leaching
out calcium from your pool walls, floor and pipe work (if they were not cleaned). It
will give your pool a new lease of life. You will need some Active Oxygen shock
treatment and a non metallic flocculent cube (Action Cube) to be placed into the
pump pre-filter. Run the pump 24/7 non stop until clear, back washing the filters
every 24 hours until your water is perfect. Normally, 3 or 4 days. This may reoccur
2 or 3 times in old pools. Just repeat the process. This process is doing the world
of good for your pool water that has been abused by Toxic chemicals for years.
WHEN USING WELL WATER
PROCEDURE 4: -
Regardless if the water looks clear! Unit OFF!
1. Set BYPASS valves to BYPASS the eClear system.
2. Adjust pH to 7.2ppm
3. Use Metal – Iron remover. Normally 3Lt per 100m3 but read instructions on the
product. Mix in a bucket of water first and put into the skimmer. Circulate on
FILTRATION.
4. Add an Action Cube or non metallic filter flocculent into the pump pre-filter.
5. Run pump Non-Stop 24/7 and Back-Wash filter every 24 Hours.
6. Go to number 3of PROCEDURE 1.

PROCEDURE 5: -
If the water is very murky! Unit OFF!
1. Set BYPASS Valves to BYPASS the eClear system.
2. Adjust pH to 7.4ppm – 7.6ppm
3. Switch PUMP OFF.
4. You will need a surface level flocculent (Alum Powder or liquid)
5. Sprinkle the floc all over the surface of the pool and leave over night.
6. SWITCH PUMP ON. Vacuum all debris to waste and not through the filter.
7. Repeat above points 2 to 4 if still not clear.
8. When clear go to number 3of PROCEDURE 1.
MARBLE AND VINYL - NEW POOLS - Unit OFF!
PROCEDURE 6: -
New Marble pools need to be de-gassed and plaster/cement dust removed. Vinyl pools
need to be de-gassed. The procedure is the same. The process is best over a 3 week
period. This is to the benefit of the owner!
1. Back-Wash and Rinse filters thoroughly.
2. Adjust pH to 6.8ppm – 7.2ppm (Always Pre-Mix pH correction chemicals in water
and enter into skimmer with eClear on Bypass and switched OFF)
3. Use house-hold bleach at 4 Litres per 50m3 and per week.
4. Add a Non-Metallic Algaecide through the skimmer at 1 Litre per 40m3 each week for
3 weeks.
5. Add 1 Action Cube or Non Metallic filter flocculent in to the pump Pre-Filter. Replace
when used.
6. Back-Wash and rinse filters after 24 Hours then once each week.
7. After 3 weeks, go to number 3of PROCEDURE 1.
NOTE: If you continue to use Chlorine then the procedure will take another week. So 4
weeks of degassing and plaster dust removal.
IMPORTANT: - If a Marble pool. After the degassing and cleaning period, remove the filter
top, and remove any debris. Mix well the top sand. If necessary, replace the sand. Back-wash
for 5 minutes and then rinse for 3 minutes.
F.A.Q.
Algae Problems: - Copper residual below 0.5ppm Raise this to 0.7ppm but first shock
treat with ACTIVE OXYGEN and Non metal Algaecide.
Good Maintenance: - It is a good idea to clean your electrodes once each year. Remove
Cell and mix 1 part acid to 2 parts water.
Pass the liquid several times through the Cells in a bucket.
