WARNING
• Never mix chemicals
• Chemicals must be stored in accordance with Relevant Standards
and Dangerous Goods Codes. Consult your authorized builder or
pool shop technician for advice.
• When handling acid, safety gloves and goggles should always
be used.
• Chemicals must be at least 1 m horizontally from control unit in
a well ventilated area to avoid corrosive damage.
• For best results a ratio of 2:1 is recommended.
The unit is designed to run with 2 PARTS WATER,
1 PART ACID (2.1 RATIO). Proper ratio should
always be followed as the machine’s dosing rate is
formulated around the diluted solution. Using neat
acid can lead to overdosing the pH level.
5.1 Chemical Placement
To avoid potential corrosion issues, the liquid
acid drum shouldn’t be placed underneath any
equipment.
