Congratulations, you are now the owner of a Zodiac pH Perfect, which allows you to
regulate the pH of your pool simply and easily.
The pH Perfect measures the pH value between 0.0 (acidic) and 14.0 (alkaline)
using a pH sensor on the filtration system, which constantly analyzes the water in
your pool.
Depending on the value measured, the pH Perfect dosing pump injects the amount
of product needed to maintain the balance of the water in the pool.
The pH Perfect will function with either acid or alkaline dosing.
1.1. Identification of parts
The pack contains the items shown and required to install your pH Perfect:
pH Perfect controller
Wall bracket
2 x Stainless-steel screws and plugs (Ø = 6 mm)
Polyethylene inlet tube (5 metres)

Warning: The pH Perfect must be installed by an experienced pool
professional.
➣Should pH perfect require any electrical maintenance always disconnect
the appliance from the power supply.
➣Before installing the pH Perfect controller, make sure that you have all
the components required and that you have read the instruction manual
carefully.
➣Failure to comply with the instructions contained in this manual can be
dangerous, cause damage to the appliance and may void the warranty.
➣While installing the pH Perfect controller, make sure of the following:
– The supply voltage is as indicated on the label attached to the side of
the appliance
– The pressure at the injection point is less than 150 kpa
– The protective housing on the pump is properly clipped into position
– The suction tube is immersed with the intake pipe in the container of
corrective solution to be injected and is connected to the pump (on
the left). Then retighten the nut on the connector
– The inlet tube will then be connected to both the pump (on the
right), and the inlet pipe to the pool through the injection flap valve
(part# 6).
➣Use pH corrective products as recommended by your pool specialist.
➣The pH sensor should be handled with care.

2.3. Installation diagram
Installation of the pH Perfect on the filtration system
The injection point must be the last element on the return line before the pool.
Keep the sensor cable away from other power cords in order to prevent electrical
interference.
The maximum pressure in the pipes must not exceed 150 kpa.
To increase the life span of the peristaltic pipe, the pressure should not exceed
100 kpa.
If the pool has a chlorinator, a heating system or any other equipment, they must
be situated after the pH sensor but before the acid injection point.
Important:
The distance between the sensor and the injection point must not be less
than 60 cm.

2.4. Installing the control unit
and electrical connections
Install the pH Perfect controller on a wall in an easily accessible place. Fix the
wall bracket to the wall using the screws supplied and attach the pH Perfect.
Before doing any work inside the appliance, make sure that the main switch is on
position 0. By unscrewing the two screws on the right-hand side of the appliance
by a 1/4 turn, the pH Perfect can be opened sideways.
“ Standard ” electrical connections for a pH Perfect
CAUTION:
The electrical connections for the pH Perfect must be done by an experienced
pool professional.

2.5. Installing the pH sensor
Installation instructions
Caution: The length of pipe between sensor and injection point must
not be less than 60 cm.
➣The sensor must be vertical, or at 45° max. and always above the pipe. In no
circumstances should it be positioned horizontally or below the pipe.
➣The sensor should be positioned before any treatment devices.

3.1. Calibration procedure
Refer to paragraph 4.2. to change the language.
> Calibration must be done each time your pool is restarted at the beginning of
the season.
> The procedure should be repeated if an abnormal amount of corrective solution
is consumed (pH minus or pH plus).
> The calibration procedure can only be carried out when filtration is stopped.
> Before calibrating, stop filtration and close the valves so as to isolate the pH
sensor holder from flowing water.

Important:
The sensor must be calibrated when your pH Perfect is first installed and
ideally every two months there after.

> Fill flask n°2 with clean water
(tap water).

> Undo the sensor holder and
remove the sensor from the pipe.
Figure 2.
> Rinse the sensor in flask n°2 (water).
Then shake gently to remove
excess water. Figure 3.
> Immerse the sensor
in flask n°1 (pH 7).
Figure 4.
> Keep the “CAL/Enter” button pressed
for more than 5 seconds until
“Calibration” appears on the
LCD screen (Figure 5a
).
Press the “CAL/Enter” button again
as indicated on the screen for
calibration on pH7 (
Figure 5b):
an automatic progression bar then
appears (Figure 5c
). Keep the
sensor immersed in the buffer
solution for 30 seconds.

• The pH Perfect peristaltic pump is self-starting. However, it is possible
to operate it manually by keeping the “Navigation“up button pressed.
The peristaltic pump will then inject corrective solution as long as the
button is pressed.

.
• When calibration is completed, your
pH Perfect is ready to regulate the
pH in your pool automatically.
• If the pH in the pool is very far
from the set point of the appliance
(7.4 pH by default), pause the
over-feed protection for 24 or
48 hours (see paragraph 4.5.).
