MAINTENANCE
1. Copper (Ion) Tests: Using a copper test kit, ensure ions are between 0.2 p.p.m. - 0.4 p.p.m.; Test the ion level at least once a
week unl you have found the proper duty cycle for your water feature. Increase or decrease the duty cycle as required. Check
the expiraon date of the Copper test kit as test results may be inaccurate if used aer that date.
2. Anodes: The anodes that deliver current to the water need only be checked once per season and typically last for one year
(2,160 “on” hours under normal use condions). You can purchase addional anodes from your authorized dealer. To replace
your anodes, simply turn old electrodes counter clockwise to release them from the tee, and swap for a new set of
anodes, turning clock wise to fasten them back into the tee.
3. Alkalinity - Keep the total alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm. (Most important!)
4. pH Levels - Keep the pH levels between 7.2 and 7.8.
5. Calcium Hardness - Keep calcium hardness between 200 and 300 ppm.
6. Total Dissolved Solids - Keep total dissolved solids (TDS) between 500 and 2,000 ppm.
NOTE: Adding pond salt to the water feature can help adjust and stabilize the Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and TDS. Make sure to
follow the pond salt manufacture’s dosage instrucons.
CLEANING & CARE
Anodes: Cleaning will remove oxidaon. Some deposits have a tendency to form on the electrodes depending on the water
condions. Clean the face of the anodes using a smooth file and some water. The surface does not have to be “polished”; simply
remove any traces of oxidaon and other sediments. Remove the old Teflon tape, use new tape and wrap it around six mes.
Exterior Housing: The housing of the ionizer is made from a durable PVC plasc. Clean the outside with a mild soap and water; rinse
and dry with a socloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
System Controller: Care should be taken in cleaning the controller. If the controller becomes soiled, wipe the panel with a cloth
dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a socloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners.
Winterizaon - If you choose to winterize your water feature remove the anode assembly from the clear tee and replace it with a
plug. The controller and anode assembly can then be stored indoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instrucons before using this product. When using an electrical appliance, basic precauons should be ob-
served, including the following:
WARNING:
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning or
maintenance.
• Do not operate with a damaged power cord.
• Do not pull or carry the product by the power cord.
• If the power cord is damaged it must repaired by a qualified
repair staon.
• Use the product only for it’s intended use.
• Close aenon is necessary when used by or near children.
• Store product in a dry place when not in use
• Only connect unit to a properly grounded outlet (See
Grounding Instrucons).
• Use only manufacturer’s aachments and spare parts.
• Protect controller from direct elements (rain, sun). A weather
proof outdoor enclosure is recommended.
Grounding Instrucons
This product must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should breakdown or malfuncon, grounding provides a safe path of least
resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this unit has an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. It must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Improper
connecon of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are unsure if the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product or use any type of plug adapter.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The ProEco Ionizer can be easily installed in under 30 minutes. The ion chamber (Clear PVC tee) is usually installed in the circulaon
system aer the pump and filter. It is recommended that you install the tee as close to where the water returns to the water feature
as possible. Please read and follow the instrucons below:
1. Ensure the total alkalinity is between 80 and 120 ppm. (Most important!) Also ensure hardness, ph and TDS are within expect-
able levels (see maintenance secon) Excessive amounts of algae or bacteria should be controlled prior to start-up.
2. Unplug the filtering system.
3. Plan the placement of the tee, electrodes, controller and plug ensuring there is adequate room and all parts reach designated
power source. A qualified electrician can extend the electrodes line cord if required using standard 18/3 cable.
4. Drain the water pipe in which you have chosen to install the tee.
5. Cut out a 3” secon of the horizontal run of pipe where you have chosen to install the tee.
6. Replace this part of the pipe with the tee assembly and fasten with standard PVC glue making sure that the electrodes are
vercal in order to allow maximum contact with water and to avoid dirt formaon or air pockets around the electrodes.
7. Mount the controller on a suitable surface.
8. Connect cable from electrodes and wire from power supply into the controller.
9. Wrap Teflon tape around the threads on the electrodes six mes. Use your hand to turn the electrodes clockwise into the
Tee unl it is secure. For more even wearing of electrodes: Before installing the electrodes and fastening them to the provided
tee, make a small mark on the white PVC cap that indicates the half way point between the two electrode bars. When threading
electrodes into the tee, align the mark with the middle of the tee. This procedure will ensure that the water will flow between
both bars and even erosion of both electrodes. (Oponal)
10.Plug into suitable ground fault protected outlet.

THE DIGITAL DISPLAY
Ionizing When the “ionizing” light is illuminang, it confirms the system is ionizing the water. To operate properly the
electrodes must be fully submersed in water, and at least 80 mA of current must be flowing from the electrodes into
the water. The more ions that are being released into the water, the faster the light will blink. The light will look solid
at maximum dose.
Ion/Acon This user defined seng is the duty cycle, or the number of minutes in each hour the Ionizer is on for. The suggested
duty cycle follows in the operang instrucons.
Large Dose Press this buon to release the maximum amount of ions for the number of hours you choose. There is a 24 hour
default seng. The display will count down the amount of hours le. The system will return to the previously set
ion/acon seng when the large dose ends. Use this funcon at your discreon whenever a large increase in ions is
required. You may choose to use this when the ionizer is first installed, upon re-filling, or during large amounts of rain
or spillage.
“-” This buon will decrease the duty cycle me or large dose hours.
“+” This buon will increase the duty cycle me or large dose hours.
PL Program Lock Feature - To enable the Program Lock Feature hold down the “+” buon and the “-” for 20
seconds. “PL” will appear in the display showing that the controller is lock and the controller cannot be adjusted or
changed unl the controller is unlocked. To unlock the controller use the same process.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Power Up Plug in controller. The digital display should turn on.
2. Program Press the “Ion/Acon” buon to set the duty cycle me. Follow the guidelines below based on the gallons you are
ionizing.
3. Oponal Press the “Large Dose” buon to set the hours of large dose. You many set from 1 to 99 hours. 24 hours will
acvate as the default seng. Follow the guidelines below. When the large dose cycle is finished it will return to the
previously set ion duty cycle.

Please note these are only general guidelines. You will need to adjust the levels based on your copper test kit readings. See the
maintenance secon for more informaon. Based on the ion output, it will take approximately 4 days to aain the minimum copper
residual of 0.2ppm and 9 days to aain the copper residual of 0.4ppm in the maximum volume stated on the label.
