HOW THE ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION WORKS
The Electrocatalytic Oxidation (E.C.O.) is an Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). When direct
current is applied to the electrocatalytic oxidation electrodes, water will be discharged to generate
“hydroxyl radicals”. The hydroxyl radical is a powerful oxidant, which oxidizes organic
contaminants, and destroys bacteria and algae. Hydroxyl radicals in combination with free
available chlorine provide the strongest and safest pool water sanitation.

Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand
have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a residual current
device (RCD).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
CAUTION
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should
never be on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is
operated with the valve closed, and explosive situation could exist.
1. Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves
to allow water to flow into the sand filter pump.
2. Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not covered and directed to a proper
draining receptacle.
3. Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and turn
it to the “BACKWASH” position (see drawings 27 & 32).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve,
always depress the valve handle before turning.
Always switch off pump before changing the 6-way
valve position.
4. Switch on the pump (see drawing 33). Water is circulating
backward through the sand media and to waste/drain outlet.
Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed in the
waste/drain outlet or through the drain sediment window.
NOTE: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to
remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand
media.

5. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “RINSE” position (see drawing 28).
6. Switch on the pump and run the pump for about one minute to level out the sand bed after
backwashing the sand media.
7. Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “FILTER” position (see drawing 26).
8. Switch on the pump. The system is now operating in the normal filtering mode. Run the pump
until the desired pool water clearance is obtained and no more than 12 hours per day.
9. Record the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter media is clean.
NOTE: During initial setup of the system, it may be necessary to backwash frequently due to
unusual heavy dirt present in the water and sand. After that, as the filter removes dirt and
impurities from the pool water, the accumulated dirt in the sand media will cause the pressure
to rise and the flow to diminish. If there is no vacuuming device attached to the system and
the pressure gauge reading is in the yellow zone it is time to backwash the sand media, see
“BACKWASH” under “initial startup and operation” section.
Vacuuming device (i.e. Intex auto pool cleaner) attached to the system may also cause the
flow to diminish and the pressure to rise. Remove any vacuuming device from the system and
check if the pressure gauge reading has dropped from the yellow zone to the green zone.

SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES
• Whichkindofsalttouse:
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use
water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take
a longer time for them to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda)
colored salt. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create the
sanitizer. So, the purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
• OptimumSaltLevels
The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal
level is 3000 ppm.
A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the saltwater system and result in low sanitizer
production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste to the pool water (this may occur at a salt
level above 3500-4000ppm). Too high of a salt level may damage the power supply and cause
corrosion to pool metal fixtures and accessories. The Salt Table page of this manual, shows the
correct dosage of salt needed. The salt in the pool is constantly recycled. Salt loss occurs only
when pool water is physically removed from the pool. Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
• AddingSalt
1. Switch on the unit, then press and hold both and button for 5 seconds, the LED
flashes “FP”. The unit is now in a Filter pump working mode and switch the filter pump on to
start the water circulation.
2. Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
3. Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
4. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5. Avoid clogging the filter by not adding salt through the skimmer.
6. Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow salt to pile up on the
bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
7. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press button
until you hear a “beep”, code “00” flashing (see “System Operation” section steps 2 to 4) and
set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see “Operating Time Table”).
• RemovingSalt
If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see “Alarm Codes”).
You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so, is to partially drain the pool
and refill it with fresh water. Drain and refill approximately 20% of the pool’s water until the “Code
92” disappears.
