WATER PREPARATION AND SYSTEM START UP
Page 8
a. Balance your pool water according to Table 1: Water Chemistry Parameters (see
below).
b. Add the proper amount of mineral salts ( PURASALTS recommended ).
See Table 2: Salt Addition Guide (page 11).
c. Circulate pool water for 36 hours before starting the OXYGEN MINERALE.
d. Start system at the 80% Oxygen output level and operate normally. For the first 2
weeks test the water every 2-3 days for proper sanitation residual levels. Raise or lower
the Oxygen Output by pressing the output control arrows as needed (see operation
instructions on pages 12-14).
e. If sanitation residuals are still below the 1 ppm range, PRESS the 18hr BOOST
button. (see Troubleshooting on pages 17-18)
f. The rule of thumb for daily runtime of the OXYGEN MINERALE system
(with balanced water and running at >70% production) is;
1 hour of operation for every 3°C of ambient temperature.
(i.e. 30°C would equal 10 hours of run time).*
* For high humidity conditions, irregular flow rates, undersized pumps/ filters or variable
speed pumps please add 2 hours to runtimes. (e.g Asia, Africa, South America).
g. Once oxygen output percentage setting is set, output should only be adjusted for
increased sanitation demand situations.
PARAMETER LEVEL DETAILS
FREE CHLORINE 1.0 - 2.0 ppm
pH 7.2 - 7.6
TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA) 90 - 130 ppm Protects pH and prevents rapid pH "bounce".
CYANURIC ACID / STABILIZER N/A Small doses 10-20ppm can be used if required
CALCIUM HARDNESS 200 - 400 ppm
PHOSPHATES ZERO
SALT RESIDUAL 1800 - 3800 ppm Ideal level for oxygen production.
Recommended level for residential pools to
keep chlorine at a proper range for sanitization
High pH reduces sanitizer efficiency. Low pH
damages pool surfaces and irritates skin and eyes
Excess calcium can increase scaling problems.
Low calcium (soft water) can damage surfaces)
Can deplete free available chlorine.
