Oxilife is a water treatment system and a controller for
swimming pools.This water treatment combines electrolysis of
low salinity with hydrolysis.
With the electrolysis of low salinity we produce liquid chlorine
from water which is very slightly salted (from 1,5 to 2,5 g salt
per liter). The hydrolysis produces disinfectants such as oxygen,
peroxide, hydroxyls and ozone. All these oxidants combat and
eliminate organic matter and pathogenic agents present in the
water. The used chlorine reconverts into salt, and the oxidants of
the hydrolysis reconvert into water on its way back to the pool.
Oxilife controls centrally all the components of your pool,
ensuring an efficient interaction.

Adjust the alkalinity between 90 and 110 ppm’s.
Adjust the pH between 7,2 y 7,5.
Adjust the chlorine between 1 y 1,5 ppm’s.
We recommend to add 1,5 to 2,5 grams of salt (without iodine) for each liter of
water in your swimming pool (1,5 to 2,5 kg NaCl per m3water).
Open the bottom valve of your swimming pool and add the salt directly to your
swimming pool water. Let the circulation pump run during the first 24 hours.
In case the water is supplied from a well:
Shock chlorination with trichloroisocyanuric acid
(2 kg / 50 m3of water).
Oxilife system may operate while the salt is dissolving and will operate without problems with
salt concentrations from 2,5 g/l to 50 g/l.
In pools with strong insolation, it’s necessary to add 40 gr/m3of stabiliser (isocyanuric acid).

4.3 Filtration
3.1 Filtration modes
3.2 Manual: Filtration can be switched ON and OFF manually.
3.3 Automatic (or with timer): In this mode the filtration
switches ON/OFF according to 3 timers. The timers always
work on daily bases.
3.4 Smart*: This mode uses, as a basis, the automatic or
timer mode, with its 3 intervals of filtration, but adjusting
the filtration time in function of the water temperature. For
that reason 2 parameters of temperature are provided: The
maximum temperature, from which on the filtration times will
be the ones from the timer setting. The minimum temperature:
below this value the filtration time will be reduced to 5
minutes, which is the minimum working time. Between these
2 temperatures the filtration times will climb linearly. There
is an option to activate the antifreeze mode in which the
filtration will start if the water temperature is below 2° C.
3.5 Timed heating with option of climatization*: This mode
acts equally to the automatic mode, but besides it includes
the option to work on a relay to control the temperature.
The desired temperature is set in this menu, and the system
works with a hysteresis of 1 degree (example: the setting
temperature is 23° C, the system will activate itself when
the temperature goes below 22° C and will not stop before it
passes 23° C).

Clima OFF: The heating only works within the set filtration periods.
Clima ON: Keeps the filtration working when the filtration period is finished if the
water temperature is below the setting temperature. When the setting temperature
is reached the filtration and the heating will stop and will not switch on till the next
programmed filtration period.
3.6 Intelligent*: In this mode the user has 2 working parameters to guaranty the
desired water temperature with a minimum of filtration hours: You select the desired
water temperature and the minimum filtration time (minimum of 2 hours and
maximum of 24 hours). The device divides the selected “minimum filtration time”
in 12 fragments which start up every 2 hours. If one of these fragments finishes,
without the temperature reaching the desired level, the filtration/heating continues
until the desired temperature is accomplished. In order to keep the filtration-
electricity-cost to a minimum, this additional filtration time is subtracted from the
following fragments of the “minimum filtration time”. The first 10 minutes of each
fragment will not be subtracted. Example (see diagram): Minimum temperature =
28°C and minimum filtration time = 12 hours.
3.7 Filter cleaning mode (and pool cleaning by suction): Use the up/down keys to activate or deactivate the filtration pump. The device will inform about the elapsed time
from the moment of activation or deactivation. Follow the instructions of the filter manufacturer to execute an adequate filter cleaning.
* Note: Modes only visible if the option to use temperature and/or heating probe is activated in the “Installer Menu”.

If necessary, carry out a monthly visual inspection. To clean the cell:
Remove the cell from its support (after turning off the filtration system and closing off the necessary valves).
Place the cell for no more than 10 minutes in 15% hydrochloric acid (1,5 l of acid for each 8,5 l of water).
Once the incrustations have softened remove with a hose to complete cleaning the cell.
DO NOT USE METALIC OR SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE INCRUSTATIONS. Scratching the edges or surface of the cell will make it
vulnerable to chemicals, deteriorate the cell and cancel the guarantee.
5SYSTEMS WITH redoX CONTROL
6MAINTENANCE
During the first 10-15 days your pool system will require more attention and the following care:
Make sure the pH remains on the ideal level (7,2 - 7,5). If the pH is unusually unstable and uses a lot of acid check the alkalinity
(recommended levels between 80 y 120 ppm).
The pool must be vacuumed and the skimmers cleaned whenever necessary to ensure perfect water conditions.
REMEMBER that the system requires a certain amount of time to adapt to your swimming pool and will require additional chemicals during the first 3-5 days.
The pool must be vacuumed as usual and the skimmers emptied whenever necessary.
FILTER BACKWASHING: The system requires only occasional filter cleaning; once every 20 days should be sufficient (providing
the filter pressure does not exceed 1 bar, in which case a filter cleaning may be necessary).
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the cell is off while cleaning the filter. If the system controls the filtration pump, use the option “filter cleaning” of the programmed
filtration mode. See section 4.3 – Filtration (Filter Cleaning).
ADDING NEW WATER: Always through the skimmers so that the new water passes through the Oxilife before entering the pool.
Remember to add the necessary salt (1,5-2,5 gr) per added liter of water.
In winter changing the pool water is not recommendable. We recommend that the system runs 2-3 times per week (2-3 hours per day).
DOSING PUMPS: Check regularly to ensure that the container contains liquid to prevent the dosing pump of running dry. The dosing
pump requires maintenance (SEE INSTRUCTIONS ON BOX).
pH PROBES / redoX / CONDUCTIVITY: Probes must be cleaned whenever necessary (check every 5-6 months). To clean the probe
insert in distilled water (clear liquid). After each cleaning the probes must be calibrated. Also: the probes should never dry out and
must be kept wet if stored (when emptying the pool for winterizing, make sure to store the measuring head in water).

The redoX value advises us of the oxidation/reduction potential and is used to determine the level of water sterilization.
The parameters or setpoints are the minimum/maximum accepted redoX levels before the titanium cell is connected/disconnected.
Adjusting the ideal redoX level (setpoint) is the last step in the Oxilife start up sequence. To find the optimum redoX levels for your
pool follow these steps:
Connect the pool filtration system (the salt in the pool must be adequately dissolved).
Add chlorine to the pool till a level of 1-1,5 ppm is achieved (approx. 1-1,5 gr/ m3of water). pH levels should be between 7,2 - 7,5.
After 30 min. test the free chlorine levels in the pool (manual test kit DPD1) if the free chlorine level is between 0,8 - 1,0 ppm.
Look at the redoX screen and memorize this level as the setpoint to CONNECT / DISCONNECT the low salinity electrolysis cell.
The next day check free chlorine levels (manual test kit DPD1) and redoX. Raise / lower setpoint if necessary.
Remember to check the redoX set-point every 2-3 month and/or if the water parameters change (pH / temperature / conductivity).

Check if reactive agents in test kit are expired.
Check if the temperature or amount of users has risen.
If the water pH is above 7,8 it must be adjusted.
Free chlorine levels don’t reach 0,8 ppm
If salt level is correct (1,5-2,5 kg/m3): Cell is reaching its end of life. As of this moment check intensity every 15-30 days.
When polarity 2 does not reach medium intensity, we recommend substituting the cell for a new one if it happens during the summer period. If it happens during winter,
change the cell before the next summer period.
Polarity 1 reaches maximum intensity, but polarity 2 (auto clean) does not reach maximum intensity
Check if ON/OFF switch is illuminated.
Check the connection wire between display and motherboard.
Check fuse of the device 3.15 A – it could have tripped due to overload.

WARNING
Keep chemical levels in pool as instructed in this manual.
CLEANING FILTER
Very Important: Make sure the cell is off while cleaning the filter. If the system controls the filtration pump, use the option “filter cleaning” of the
programmed filtration mode. See section 4.3 – Filtration (Filter Cleaning).
VERY IMPORTANT
Remember that the system needs some time to adapt to your pool and that you will have to increase chemical levels for the first 5 days.
EARTHING
All metallic components in the pool such as lamps, ladders, heat exchangers, drains or similar elements within 3 m from the pool (10 feet) must be
connected to an earth below 37 Ohms. If using heat exchangers, we recommend them to be made of titanium.
SECURITY
To avoid accidents, children should not handle this product unless supervised by an adult. Children should be supervised at all times when in or
near a spa, pool or jacuzzi.
HANDLING AND DOSING DANGEROUS CHEMICALS
Chemicals should be handled with extreme precaution. When preparing acid, always add acid to water, never add water to acid, because very
dangerous gasses may be produced.
The maximum dosing time (standard 200 min.) is accomplished and the acid
dosing pump stops in order to avoid the acidification of the water.
To delete the message and to restart the metering press ESC ( ). Do the
following verifications in order to preclude errors on the device: Verify if the pH
probe reading is correct (if not, calibrate the probe or substitute it with a new
one); Verify if the acid/base deposit is full and if the dosing pump is working
correctly; Verify the variable speed of the dosing pump.
