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.
