1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Oxymatic Technology
The Oxymatic system generates the most powerful and effective disinfectant, it is one – two thousand times
faster to react and more effective than chlorine and lies a close second in power to fluoride which is forbidden
in recreational waters.
OXYMATIC combines two technologies: the hydrolysis of water and the electrolysis of copper. When the two
processes act in synergy water is automatically disinfected. Maintaining residual copper levels allows water to
be disinfected and ensures that the residual copper is more stable than chlorine. The process eliminates
anything that may cause irritation and eradicates any flavour or scent.
No additional disinfecting is required. Any legal requirements concerning levels of disinfectants within public
pools is no longer a concern as disinfected water runs through the system prior to chlorination/bromination,
thus eradicating potential problems
Automated installation and low maintenance cost
The methodology most commonly in existence relies on chemical disinfectants to prevent waterborne diseases
that can grow to epidemic proportions. Chlorination (water treatment method) has a proven ability to control
infectious diseases such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery. The use of disinfection with chlorine and chemicals
has proven useful and essential but not without cost. There is a high price to pay for the benefits of chemical
control not only financially but the side effects can be harmful: chlorine, bromine, aluminum, phosphates or
chromates etc. can cause harmful side effects on human health. Chlorine is coming under attack from health
organizations and federal governments are beginning to layout new legislation to minimize and eliminate the
use of toxic chemicals and disinfectants within water. The U.S. Registered Center for Disease Control
recognizes Chloroform and dioxin (two bi-products of chlorination) as toxic. Growing awareness and concerns to
the environment and human health due to the use of chlorine is forcing agencies to rethink the strategy and use
of chlorine, bromine and other halogens for all types of water treatment.
1.2. The process of hydrolysys
Hydrolysys is a Bipolar Oxidation Technology (A.B.O.T). It is referred as "bipolar" due to the fact that it has two
electrodes 1.the positive pole or anode, and 2. the negative or cathode.
Every four minutes there occurs an automatic change of polarity which allows the copper electrodes to operate
independently and intermittently whilst self cleaning.
Hydrolysis is the process by which the water molecule is dissociated into various species due to the application
of an electric current. The main reaction of the hydrolysis process is as follows:
2 H2O (OH-) + H3O+
The dissociation of water molecule implies a standard oxidation-reduction potential (E0) of 1.8 V. In the case of
pure water, the dissociation that is produced is very weak, so there must be a certain level of dissolved solids
and conductive molecules (corresponding to the TDS and conductivity parameters, respectively, in the routine
analysis of water) for this process to effectively act as a disinfectant.
There are many secondary chemical reactions, which produce ionic species with an oxidant and disinfectant
power, such as ozone (O3), monatomic oxygen (O1) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
OXYMATIC circuits transform the standard electrical current (220 V, 50 Hz) DC low voltage and amperage by its
titanium electrodes (plated precious metals), creating ionized water, disinfectant chemical species.
The aforesaid results in the creation of a combination of the most powerful oxidizers available for water
disinfection, which avoids the use of chemicals. In the case of hydroxyl ions (oxidation-reduction potential of
2.05, exceeded only by fluorine, but because of its high toxicity can’t be used as a disinfectant).
Table 1 shows the key values of redox potential.

* Oxidants produced by the system OXYMATIC.
1.3. Ionization
From the copper electrodes OXYMATIC system generates copper ions Cu2 +, which effectively remove algae,
bacteria and viruses. Contrary to what happens with various forms of chlorine here is no scientific evidence that
the organisms are developing immunity to copper ions.
An added advantage is that the system has a certain OXYMATIC disinfectant effect. The calcium in the water is
kept in the form of bicarbonate (water soluble), with a pH around 7 and a maximum temperature of
approximately 50 º C. The aforesaid avoids the fouling inside the pipe and reduces the tendency to corrosion.
This phenomenon was tested by ETL Laboratories / EPA and developed by OXYMATIC in 1995.
N.B. It is necessary to take special care where a pool has Line’s covering. PH should not exceed 7.6 due to the
fact that from this point the copper starts precipitating the characteristics of the line. The pool becomes dirty
with blue spots which are difficult to eliminate

The Water Check National Testing Laboratories (Ypsilanti, MI), Spectrum Labs (Minneapolis, MN) and MN
Department of Health have observed the destruction of E Coli from 0.1 to 2.0 ppm at pH ranges from 6.5 to 8.0.
In addition municipal public health inspectors and private companies have conducted additional investigations
into E Coli and have found that copper ion in pipelines has stability until fixed. At present this solution has
proven to be the market leader for the removal of coli forms and E.Coli.

3. OXYMATIC SYSTEM INSTALLATION
3.1. Plumbing
It is of the upper most importance that correct/careful plumbing is carried out when installing the Oxymatic
system – this is the basis of a good installation. It is important that the camera is installed after the filtering
circuit and heating - see diagram below
The titanium electrodes should be connected to the entry of the water and the copper electrodes to the output.
Depending on the Oxymatic model, connection of the injection point of pH and chlorine peroxide should be
carried out on a case by case basis.

H2O2/ Cl Systems
For correct installation and easy maintenance we recommend the installation of the camera with a by-pass as
shown in the figure below.
* The material of the camera is compatible with any PVC glue
3.2. Electricity
The equipment is shipped ready for use via 100v to 240v. There is no requirement for a power adapter but we
recommend installing a motor protector before connecting to the mains. This avoids any possible increase in
the tension which will severely affect the electronics of Oxymatic, (not covered by the warranty). (See image)
We OXYMATIC only has one power input – “the computer to the network” and therefore it is important not to
connect the pump or any other components to the mains.

4. OXYMATIC START
4.1. Preparation of treated water
Steps necessary for the initial treatment of water prior to the installation of the OXYMATIC ® system:
Water Balance
It is necessary for the pool water to be balanced to avoid incorrect disinfection, corrosion, precipitation of metal,
limestone, various staining and cloudy or green water. Regardless of the system used (chlorine, bromine,
oxygen, peroxide, ozone etc a pool must be balanced to the following parameters:
Calcium Hardness: 300-500 ppm.
Total Alkalinity: 100-175 ppm.
pH must be between 6.8 and 7.0.x
When water becomes unbalanced it becomes corrosive or scaled and considerably reduces the oxidizing agent
(Chlorine, Bromine, Oxygen, Peroxide, Ozone, Etc.) making disinfection at its minimum. Water flows
progressively, deteriorating the titanium electrodes, copper and other metal parts in the circuit of the water and
swimming pool.
In contrast, when the water is foul, stains and fouling can occur both in the glass of the pool and in the water
pipe circuit and the electrodes. This phenomenon may progressively deteriorate titanium electrodes and copper.
If the water of the swimming pool comes from a well:
Well water of this type is not as balanced as city tap water . It may contain different organisms, bacteria,
materials or heavy metals. In this case, the water needs an intensive preparation before the OXYMATIC system
is operational. The water must be completely free of metals, bacteria, etc..
Electrical conductivity or TDS (total dissolved solids):
The principle of OXYMATIC PLUS based on the hydrolysis determines the conductivity of the pool is an important
factor that favors the creation of ions (the higher the electrical conductivity or the amount of total solids
Dissolved in Water, TDS, the better). For proper operation of the system, the TDS should be above 600 ppm.
PARAMETERS BOARD OF A POOL
NOTE: If it is necessary to decrease the pH of the water, we recommend using sulfuric acid (38%) as pH reducer
instead of hydrochloric acid. This is because the hydrochloric acid also reduces the alkalinity, 2 / 10 while
reducing the pH of the water the same amount of hydrochloric acid. It is also safer than hydrochloric acid and
does not emit fumes or gases.

4.1.1. Water totality disinfected (very impoirtant))
It is important that before activating the OXYMATIC system that the water is totally disinfected. When
functioning, the system is capable of keeping water in pristine condition but it cannot disinfect water that is
green with algae. It is therefore important, should the water contain algae, bacteria and pathogens to carry out a
shock treatment as follows:
To make an effective shock treatment, water pH should be below 7.5. If not, adjust (see parameter table).
Add required dose of disinfectant chlorine, bromine active oxygen to enhance the shock treatment. Follow the
specifications of the product sold at your local retailer, then place in the nozzles and around the pool. Using
rapid dissolution products maybe a preferred option e.g. chlorine fast
Once having added the chemical of your choice keep the pumps of the pool operating for 12 hours so that the
chemicals are recycling. It is recommended you carry out this operation during the night to minimize the
evaporation of the disinfectant.
Turn off the pump.
Add flocculants. We recommend using small sacks that are placed in the skimmer, or flocculants liquid directly
on the glass of the pool.
Leave about 6-10 hrs until deposits are formed at the bottom.
Pass the clean-funding to eliminate the dirty water full of flocs (NO Re-circulating).
Filter wash.
4.1.2. Filtre backwash
Filter backwash - this process will clean the filter, removing all waste previously held by the filter. Consult the
manual if necessary.
NOTE: Use the Zeobrita (zeolite, volcanic rock) in replacing the sand filter. You'll get a leak between 2 and 5
microns instead of 40 microns which filters the sand. It should be changed every 4 or 5 years. The Zeobrita
saves 50% water in washing the filter.
4.1.3. Adjustment of the copper
It is necessary to measure the copper disuelto within the water with a colorimetric meter. If the level of copper
is between 0.5-0.7 ppm the OXYMATIC system can be started however, if the copper level is over 0.7 ppm it will
be necessary to reduce the levels. If the level of copper is below 0.5 ppm it will be necessary to increase the
copper – see two options to carry this out below:
Option 1 (recommended by Hydrover):
-Start the equipment Oximatic in manual switching position
-The electrode of copper set to work only (to see paragraph 4.3.1)
-To leave the equipment working 48 followed hours
-measure again the copper.
-Leave the system working for the number of hours necessary to achieve the recommended levels.
Option 2:
-To dissolve in the swimming pool Sulfate of Copper in powder. The recommended dose is 0,5 g for
every 1 m3 (50 g in a swimming pool of 100 m3) to obtain a proportion of 0,5 ppm in the water.
-To dilute the necessary amounts in a container and to distribute it within the swimming pool
-Measure copper levels 12 hours after distribution
-In the event of the required levels not being achieved repeat the process proportionately
The ión Charges, CU2 + is a powerful agent of algicida and bactericidally. In concentrations below 0.4 ppm, it
loses efficiency, and over 0.7 can stain the glass of the swimming pool. In addition value of pH over 7.5-7.6
favor the rainfall of any metallic ión that exists in the water. Generated this way stain of different colors green -
bluish, black and brown can appear.
IMPORTANTLY: This adjustment only has to be carried out when the system is activated since the Oxymatic
takes charge supporting the suitable level of copper in the water. The dosing recommended (0,5 and 0,7 ppm)
There should be no health concerns since according to the WHO (World Health Organization) a water is
drinkable with a content level of up to 2 mg/l of copper.

Once the installation of equipment is completed itcan be configuredto individual requirements
The BASIC Oxymatic- Two ways to commence:
1. Flow Position (Auto)
2. Manual position (Handling staff)
5.1. Automatic position (flow position)
In this position the BASIC Oxymatic automatically works due to the fact it uses a Flow Switch (flow sensor),
which serves to start the computer when the main pump works by detecting the flow rate. The BASIC Oxymatic is
operated together with all its functions (oxidation, ionization / peroxide / chlorine and pH. The hours of
operation of BASIC Oxymatic depends on the hours you have scheduledon the main pool pump.
a) Oxidation: This function works each time, depending on the programming of ionization or peroxide. It is
recommended that oxidation always performs at 100% thus ensuring better performance and maintenanceof
Titanium electrodes. If the oxidation is below 100%, it is recommended to add sea salt (table salt) to the pool to
increase the conductivity of the water and raise the amperage. This way it reduces the voltage of the electrodes
of titanium.
b) Ionization / Peroxide / Chloride: This function starts at the end of each hour of operation, even after
oxidation. It is recommended to maintain the level of copper in the pool between (0.4 and 0.7ppm).

7. MAINTENANCE
6.1. Table of Maintenance and control
From now on, the only thing needed is the maintenance of the equipment and checking the below parameters:
IMPORTANT: In order for the Titanium electrodes (Ti) to work 100% effectively and to avoid deterioration, they
should work at only 9.5 v, otherwise its life expectancy will be only a few months. The GUARANTEE does not
cover the deterioration of the electrodes. The voltage should be measured weekly.
6.2. Cleanliness of the electrodes and duration
Visually, you should ensure that there is not too much dirt between the internal spaces of each pair of
electrodes. As soon as you see that they are dirty, disconnect the cables, unwind the chambers and submerge
them for 10 minutes in 50% vinegar and 50% water and delicately brush them with a tooth brush so as not to
damage the patented lining that the electrodes have. Never use a metallic brush as this will seriously damage
the electrodes and they will no longer work.
Remember that the cables that are connected to the titanium electrodes are the cables that come out of the
control unit if we are stood in front of it, and the cables that lead to the copper electrodes are connected to the
fifth or last port from the left.
The average frequency of cleaning depends on the water quality and quantity of flocculent used.
The average frequency of the cleanliness will depend on the water quality and the quantity of used flocculating
agent.7. Visually check the electrodes every month and clean them when you see dirt between them.
NOTE: Remember to check the parameters of calcium hardness, alkalinity, TDS (total dissolved solids), pH and
residual copper. The more professionally monitored the better (at least once a month, depending on water
losses and filling), this way the water is best disinfected. It will prevent damage to the components of the pool
(including the electrodes) and avoid inconvenience to bathers. This is independent of the disinfection system
used (chlorine, bromine, ozone, OXYMATIC, etc ...), and little by little, owing to the swimmers, filtration and
washing of filters, microorganisms from the water, filled with fresh water, sun , etc ..., change the parameters of
the water.
8. INCOMPATIBILITIES AND POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THE
SYSTEM OXYMATIC
ATTENTION: the disinfection system by oxygen and mineral ions, OXYMATIC, is fully compatible with others such
as chlorine, bromine, active oxygen, etc ...
7.1 Probes of chlorine copper-platinum amperometric probes.
In some cases it was found that the copper ions created by the OXYMATIC system have caused some kind of
interference in the reading of these probes. It is recommended that Platinum or Gold-Platinum-Gold probes are
used using an amperometric chlorine sensor.

7.2. Blue spots on the tiles.
Some cases have occurred where blue spots have appeared on the joints of the tiles. This may be caused by
two things:
a) Well water that originally contained copper: In this case, we initially recommend adding a metal
sequestering agent to the pool, and then use a preventative product to prevent stains when water
replacements are made.
b) A chemical imbalance in the parameters of your pool, imply that the water is fouled:
In the latter case, use a special product to remove copper stains. Once these have been removed,
adjust the parameters of your pool chemicals as indicated in the section of this manual: "START”.

7.3. Use of flocculants in the case your filters contain zeobrite instead of sand.
It is very important not to dispense the flocculants in the filter or just before filtering. We recommend that you
add to the pool.
9. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
1. The pH probe steps out of time, therefore it is necessary to calibrate at least once a month, depending on
water quality. This will need two buffers, one at pH 7.00 and the other at pH 9.00, which are included
initially.
Care must be taken when calibrating the apparatus, as the pH probe must be cleaned correctly between
each measurement, so there is no possible contamination of the buffers. To this end, use distilled water, or
tap water and gently dry, especially the end part where the membrane is.
NOTE: Clean and dry the pH probe before inserting it into the buffer solution.
2. The membrane of the pH probe, which is in the end, should not be dried. It must be placed in the pipe
covered with water, or protected by the cap, which has within itself a solution of potassium chloride (KCl) or
water.
NOTE: If for some reason water does not pass through the pipe over a long period of time via the pipe located
where the pH probe is, it is advisable to remove it and keep it with the cap which is in the interior. As
mentioned before, a solution of potassium chloride or, failing that, water.
3. Caution in the handling of the electrode is highly recommended, it is a delicate component.
4. If there is a relatively high or low pH reading,( and we suspect that it shouldn’t be that way), it is
recommended to calibrate the pH probe.
5. If you get a pH reading and it is unstable and has not maintained a specific value, it is possibly because the
total alkalinity of water is outside the recommended range (100-175 ppm). The solution n is to measure the
total alkalinity of water and if it is unadjusted add product to bring it into its correct value.
NOTE: The warranty covers only manufacturing defects. We do NOT cover misuse or breakage.
6. When there are variations in pH values may be due to two factors:
a) A water pump that makes up the water circuit and / or the OXYMATIC may not have been properly connected
