1.0 FOREWORD
1.1 Congratulations on purchasing an Evolution Mineral Oxidiser & Sanitiser for your
swimming pool. This system is designed for reliability and easy operation to provide
many years of trouble-free service. Please read the instructions thoroughly before
operating the unit. If you have any concerns or require further assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact our friendly staff or any of our Evolution distributors.
2.0 POOL CHEMISTRY
2.1 It is important to note that the Mineral Oxidiser does not maintain the water chemistry
of the swimming poolwater; it simply sanitises the waterfrom a mineral blend solution.
To ensure that the water is chemically balanced within the guidelines listed below,
the pool water should be tested regularly at a pool shop to maintain a sparkling and
healthy pool.
pH 7.2 – 7.6
Total Alkalinity 90 – 150ppm
Cyanuric Acid 40 – 65ppm
Salinity 4,000ppm
Free Chlorine 1.5 – 3.0ppm
2.2 The Mineral Oxidiser is designed to operate on a salinity level of 4,000 parts per million
(ppm). This is achieved with a blend of regular poolsalt and Pure Minerals™ Magnesium
Crystals or other mineral blend products. To correctly dose the pool water with Pure
Minerals™ and salt, follow Sections 6.0 and 7.0 of this manual.
2.3 Note: Before adding minerals and salt to the swimming pool, please ensure the
Mineral Oxidiser is switched off to avoid overload damage. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
VOID WARRANTY.
2.4 Before initial startup, it is recommended to manually add chlorine to the swimming pool
as the Mineral Oxidiser is designed to maintain oxidiser levels over time and not run
for unnecessarily long hours to build an acceptable oxidiser level. The manual addition
of chlorine may also be required for unforeseen situations where the swimming pool
has a high sanitisation demand, for example, after a large bather load or heavy rain.

3.0 CELL INSTALLATION
3.1 The Mineral Oxidiser cell housing must be plumbed into the return line after the filter.
Please refer to the installation diagram, Fig.1, below for the preferred method. The cell
housing has allocations for either 50mm PVC pipe or 40mm PVC pipe using the supplied
PVC reducing bushes.
3.2 If a heater is plumbed into the system, then the cell housing must be installed after the
heater in the return line to protect the elements or heat exchanger. If a solar heating
system is fitted, the cell housing should be installed after the return line comes back
from the roof if it rejoins the main swimming pool return line.

4.0 POWER PACK INSTALLATION
4.1 The Mineral Oxidiser power pack is wall mounted using the supplied mounting bracket
or directly hanging on the wall with screws (300mm centres). The power pack must be
mounted at least 1 metre above the ground and 3 metres or more from the pool edge.
4.2 It is strongly recommended that the power pack be installed where it is protected
from the elements. Rain and sunlight will prematurely age the unit. It should also be
mounted in a position where it is away from accidental water spray. The power pack
should be installed so that adequate airflow can circulate freely around the unit to
allow for sufficient ventilation.
4.3 The power pack comes with a standard 230V 10A power cable that is to be connected to
mains power. Plug the power cable into a suitable weatherproof outlet.
4.4 The power pack is fitted with a 230V 10A power socket located on the right-hand
underside of the power pack. The pool pump should be plugged into this socket so that
the Mineral Oxidiser and pump activate together when the timer switches on at the
allocated time settings. Failure to plug the pool pump into this socket could lead to the
Mineral Oxidiser staying on with no water circulation. Without circulation, and in the
event of a water probe failure, overheating and a possible gas build-up may occur. This
build-up may damage the cell housing.
4.5 The Mineral Oxidiser cell cable is connected to the power pack at the junction box on
the underside of the unit. With power off, remove the protective cover from the junction
box and insert the cell cable wires to the terminals, with the thin wire connecting to the
middle position. The screws must be firmly tightened so there is solid contact between
the wires and the terminals. Replace the protective cover back over the junction box.

5.0 OPERATION
5.1 The control interface on the power pack consists of the following:
Fig. 3
1. Oxidiser Output LEDs
If the correct salinity level is maintained in the water, all ten lights will illuminate at
full output (100%). Each light represents a 10% incremental output. If all lights are not
illuminated, then a higher salinity level will be required. This is achieved by determining
the current salinity level and adding Pure Minerals™ and pool salt according to the
dosage tables in Section 7.0. Ensure all salt and mineral is dissolved correctly before
further additions. The Oxidiser Output (2 in Fig. 3) will increase or decrease the output
to suit the pool requirements. If all of the indicator lights flash, then there is a water
flow fault.
2. Oxidiser Output
The Oxidiser Output dial determines the amount of oxidiser production. By simply
turning the control clockwise, oxidiser output increases, and by turning the control anti-
clockwise, oxidiser output decreases. Do not force the control past its stop, as this will
damage the unit and void warranty.
3. High Salt Light
This light is a red warning indicator and will illuminate when the salinity level in the
swimming pool is higher than 4500ppm. If this light is on, together with the ten output
LED’s (1 in Fig. 3), decrease the output by turning the Oxidiser Output (2 in Fig. 3)
anti-clockwise until the high salt (red light) goes off and all ten Oxidiser Output LEDs
remain on. If the High Salt Light is the only one illuminated, the unit has gone into the
over-temperature cutout and will reset once back to normal running temperature.
4. Polarity Light
The Polarity Light is the first indicator light, 10% in the Oxidiser Output array (1 in Fig.3).
This light will alternate between orange and green every reversing cycle (4-12 hours).
The factory setting is a 12-hour cycle.

5. Timer
The time switch is a 24-hour timer for controlling the Mineral Oxidiser and associated
circulation pump on/off times.
Setting the Timer
To set the time, turn the minute hand clockwise until the time of day is set on the Inner
Dial. For example, to adjust the time to 8:00pm, adjust the Timer as per Fig. 4.The Outer
Dial has 24-hour markings with 15-minute increments to match the Inner Dial time at
the Activation Point.
It is important to ensure that if the time is set to 8.00pm, the Activation Point on the
Outer Dial will align with 20, not 8, which would be 8.00am.
Program the Timer by pushing the captive trippers to the outer position for the
entire period that the Mineral Oxidiser and pump are to be turned “ON”. Each tripper
corresponds to 15 minutes on the 24-hour dial. When the tripper is pushed inwards, the
Timer is in the “OFF” position.
Fig. 4
6. Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker mounted on the front right-hand side of the Mineral Oxidiser is
designed to trip out in the event of a power surge or overload. When tripped, the yellow
centre button will pop out, shutting down the unit. To reset, press the yellow centre
button back in to resume normal function.
Note: Turn off the Mineral Oxidiser at the power point before attempting to reset
the circuit breaker. Should the circuit breaker continue to trip, then a local Evolution
distributor should be contacted.
7. Switch
This switch allows you to choose the timer operation mode for the Mineral Oxidiser and
pool pump. The Timer selection to the left enables the Mineral Oxidiser and pool pump
to turn on and off at the designated timer settings. The Manual selection to the right
allows the Mineral Oxidiser and pump to work continuously until the switch setting is
physically changed. The Off position in the middle will turn power off to the Mineral
Oxidiser and circulation pump.

6.0 DOSAGE
6.1 The Mineral Oxidiser is designed to work with all mineral blend products to sanitise your
pool effectively, but works best as a complete system with high-quality Pure Minerals™
Magnesium Crystals. Using Pure Minerals™ in conjunction with pool salt will produce
a magnesium-rich and precisely sanitised pool with minimal maintenance. You will
need to follow the given dosage guidelines for properly activating and maintaining your
blended pool salinity levels. These tables are designed to help you integrate or maintain
Pure Minerals™ and pool salt at the right ratios with a target salinity of 4,000ppm.
6.2 If your pool water is not yet conditioned with Pure Minerals™ follow 7.3 Table 1:
Pure Minerals™ Start-Up and Activate Dosage.
6.3 If your pool water has already been enhanced with Pure Minerals™ follow 7.4 Table 2:
Pure Minerals™ Maintenance Dosage.
6.4 To begin using Pure Minerals™ and your Mineral Oxidiser, you will need to know the
pool water salinity level. A pool care professional can perform this test for you. Once
the salinity level is known, add the appropriate Pure Minerals™ amount by following
the dosage tables.
6.5 Your Mineral Oxidiser is designed to operate with a primary salinity of 4,000ppm.
6.6 Note: Before adding minerals and salt to the swimming pool, please ensure the
Mineral Oxidiser is switched off to avoid overload damage. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
VOID WARRANTY.
7.0 ADDING PURE MINERALS™
7.1 1. Ensure pool water is correctly balanced before adding Pure Minerals™. Free
chlorine level must be between 1.5 and 3.0ppm, pH level must be between 7.2 and 7.6.
2. Add the recommended amount of Pure Minerals™ into the shallow end of the pool
and allow to dissolve (sweep in with a broom if required).
3. Run the filter pump for 8 hours (with Mineral Oxidiser turned off) to allow for
complete dilution.
4. You may swim in the pool at any time during this process.
7.2 Note: As magnesium dissolves into the water, the water may sometimes take on
a green tinge. This is a natural effect of the magnesium, and the water colour will
return to normal after 48-72 hours.

8.0 MAINTENANCE
8.1 It is recommended that a pool water sample is taken to a pool shop and tested once per
month for analysis. Please refer to Section 2.0, 6.0 and 7.0 for additional information.
8.2 The Mineral Oxidiser cell operates most efficiently when it is clean. As a natural result
of the electrolytic process, calcium is attracted to the titanium plates in the cell. The
self-cleaning feature helps to inhibit such build-up and scaling. However, the attraction
of calcium and other minerals is inevitable, and eventually, it must be removed by
manual cleaning.
8.3 The transparent housing of the cell allows easy visual inspections, and with correct
water chemistry, the cell will only need cleaning approximately every 3-6 months. In
regions with hard water (high calcium levels), more frequent cleaning may be required.
8.4 To clean the cell follow these instructions:
1. Turn off power to the Mineral Oxidiser and pump.
2. Remove the cell from the cell housing by loosening the cell collar and pulling the
cell out of the housing. If required, disconnect the cell cable wires at the junction box
underneath the power pack (these must be reconnected firmly and tightly).
3. With the cell removed, use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose
scale as possible. Do not use any sharp or metallic objects to remove scale, as this will
damage the cell.
4. If further cleaning is required, the cell needs to be cleaned in a mixture of 1 part
Hydrochloric Acid to 10 parts water. Mix the acid solution in a bucket or tube that will
fit the cell.
5. iWARNING: Chemical Hazard - When mixing acid with water, always add the
acid to the water, never add water to the acid. When using the acid, ensure to use
rubber gloves and appropriate eye protection and follow safety directions on the
Hydrochloric Acid label.
6. Place the cell into the cleaning solution submerging the plates and ensuring that
the cell head (Section 3.0 Fig. 2) does not contact the acid solution. Once the cell is
clean, remove it from the cleaning solution and rinse. Replace the cell into the housing
in the reverse manner to the steps above.
8.5 Only qualified electrical technicians should service the power pack. For the nearest
Evolution recommended service technician, please contact Evolution Water & Lighting
Solutions on 07 5565 0000 or email us at [e-mail].
