MAINTENANCE and

OWNER RESPONSIBILITY

(1) ECOsmarte System: Following the detailed procedure below, the

ECOsmarte Electrode Chamber must be cleaned every third month of

operation and as needed under certain water conditions.

(2) Filter Maintenance: Adequate filtration is required in order to oper-

ate a clear swimming pool. Sand filters can be cleaned by soaking sand

with one gallon of muriatic acid overnight. Apply the undiluted acid direct-

ly to the sand once per year. Cartridge filter elements must be soaked in

5:1 muriatic acid and water solution, then TSP and water for one hour

each (as needed). Replace the cartridge every 6 months for spas and

every 18 months for pools. DE Filter elements need same muriatic bath

as cartridges as well as TSP bath for one hour. (Sand filters backwash

twice after 6lbs. rise, DE filters three times after 12lbs. rise.)

(3) Pool Maintenance: GUNITE pools require pool brushing of areas

where automatic vacuum does not reach on a weekly basis. A cavitating

pump will run our Electrode Chamber dry and result in poor automatic

vacuuming. Vinyl, GUNITE, and Fiberglass pools work best with a suction

wall vacuum, not a sweep.

ELECTRODE CLEANING PROCEDURE

(1) Mix solution 5 parts water to 1 part acid in a bucket. When

adding acid to water be careful not to spill or be down wind when

pouring.

(2) Disconnect terminal clips. The Red & Green wires attach to the copper

side of the chamber, the Black & White to the titanium side.

If uneven

electrode wear is noted on copper electrodes you must reverse position

of the Green & Red terminal clips after cleaning.

(3) Place entire Electrode Chamber in buc

ket for 10 to 15 minutes. The

build-up will slowly dissolve. DO NOT scrape the surface of the elec-

trodes. If you will be cleaning yourself, consider cleaning caps to cut

acid use and speed process. Cleaning caps from your dealer will cut

acid use and simplify this procedure.

(4) Remove Electrode Chamber from bucket and rinse with garden-hose

pressure

. Make sure to rinse your hand as well.

(5) Wipe terminal clips dry and reconnect leads after reinstalling Electrode

Chamber in pressure line. Remember: Red & Green connect to the

copper side, Black & White to the titanium.

WHEN CLEANING

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE chamber OR USE METAL FILES
