EcoSmarte Pool System - Recommended Cycle Times

Proper water balance and filter maintenance are necessary to prevent
algae growth. Also regular brushing prevents dirt from harboring in the
pores of your pool surface, where algae colonies like to start. The use of
specialty chemicals or algaecides may be necessary as a back up to the
ECOsmarte Pool System and existing filtration. Filtration upgrades will
solve 99% of these problems.
Again, ECOsmarte recommends allowing the system to defeat algae on
its own.You will want to adjust valving for optimum circulation and allow
your pump and filter to run 24 hours a day until the pool clears (the
ECOsmarte Pool System can be shut off after a single cycle of oxidation,
providing Copper ppm levels are above 0.4). Turn on any automatic
cleaners to stir things up. Continue to brush the walls. If the pool is real
"swampy" algaecide 40 or 60 may be a good choice. If you cannot see
the bottom of the pool and it is filled with leaves and debris, you must get
all leaves and debris out to clean the water.

CYCLE TIMES
• ECOsmarte pools should operate 24 hours per day the week
you start-up and put in the initial ionization level (Cu 0.4 ppm to
0.7 ppm)
• ECOsmarte pools should circulate 24 hours whenever your
water does not look right.
• ECOsmarte pools must circulate during daylight hours, 6 to 12
hours per day in the OXIDIZE or maintenance IONIZE mode.
• Auto-cover owners should uncover the pool 2 hours minimum
on sunny days for best results.
• “Over oxygenation” can occur on 24 hour constant circulation
after several weeks, so ECOsmarte only timing systems are
recommended for edge pools and environments where 24/7
skimming and filtration is desired.
