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.

The Oxilife system is a comprehensive water treatment and control solution for swimming pools, combining low salinity electrolysis with hydrolysis. This dual approach ensures effective water disinfection and purification.

Function Description

The core function of the Oxilife system is to generate disinfectants from pool water. Through low salinity electrolysis, it produces liquid chlorine from water with a salt concentration of 1.5 to 2.5 g per liter. Simultaneously, hydrolysis generates other potent disinfectants such as oxygen, peroxide, hydroxyls, and ozone. These oxidants work in concert to combat and eliminate organic matter and pathogenic agents in the water. The used chlorine is reconverted into salt, and the hydrolysis oxidants revert to water, ensuring a continuous and efficient treatment cycle. The system centrally controls all pool components, optimizing their interaction for superior performance.

Usage Features

The Oxilife system offers a user-friendly interface with a main screen displaying key operational parameters such as current time, hydrolysis intensity, and automatic measurements (pH, redox, free chlorine, conductivity).

Initial Water Adjustments:

• Alkalinity: Adjust between 90 and 110 ppm's.
• pH: Adjust between 7.2 and 7.5.
• Chlorine: Adjust between 1 and 1.5 ppm's.
• Salt Addition: Recommended to add 1.5 to 2.5 grams of salt (without iodine) per liter of water (1.5 to 2.5 kg NaCl per m³ water). The system can operate with salt concentrations from 2.5 g/l to 50 g/l. For pools with strong insolation, 40 gr/m³ of stabilizer (isocyanuric acid) should be added.

Filtration Modes:

• Manual: Manual ON/OFF control.
• Automatic: Filtration based on programmed timers.
• Heating: Filtration linked to heating requirements.
• Smart: Filtration based on temperature and intelligent scheduling.
• Intelligent: User defines desired water temperature and minimum filtration time (2-24 hours). The device divides the minimum filtration time into 12 fragments, ensuring filtration continues until the desired temperature is reached, optimizing electricity cost.
• Filter Cleaning Mode: Activates/deactivates the filtration pump for filter cleaning, with elapsed time tracking.

Auxiliary Relays:

• Controls up to 4 extra auxiliary relays for features like water features, fountains, irrigation systems, cleaning systems, air pumps, and garden lighting.

Redox Control System:

• The system uses redox values to determine water sterilization levels. Parameters and setpoints define minimum/maximum accepted redox levels before the titanium cell connects/disconnects.
• Setup Steps: Connect filtration, add chlorine (1-1.5 ppm, pH 7.2-7.5), test free chlorine (0.8-1.0 ppm) after 30 min and memorize redox level as setpoint, check free chlorine and redox next day, and adjust setpoint if necessary.
• Redox setpoint should be checked every 2-3 months or if water parameters change.

Maintenance Features

First Days of Maintenance (10-15 days):

• pH: Maintain pH between 7.2-7.5. Check alkalinity (80-120 ppm) if pH is unstable.
• Cleaning: Vacuum pool and clean skimmers regularly.
• Adaptation: The system requires time to adapt, and additional chemicals may be needed for the first 3-5 days.

Cleaning the Titanium Cell (Monthly Visual Inspection):

• Remove cell from support (filtration system off, valves closed).
• Place cell in 15% hydrochloric acid (1.5 L acid for 8.5 L water) for no more than 10 minutes.
• Remove incrustations with a hose.
• Caution: Do not use metallic or sharp objects to remove incrustations to avoid damage and warranty void.

Fortnightly Checks:

• Free Chlorine: 1.0 - 2.0 ppm.
• pH: 7.2 - 7.5.

Monthly Checks:

• Total Alkalinity (TAC): 80 - 120 ppm.
• Salt Concentration: 1,500 - 2,500 ppm.
• Cyanuric Acid: 30 - 50 ppm.
• Titanium Cell: Visual inspection for incrustations.

General Maintenance:

• Vacuuming and Skimmers: Vacuum pool and empty skimmers as usual.
• Filter Backwashing: Occasional filter cleaning (every 20 days, or if pressure exceeds 1 bar). Ensure cell is off during cleaning.
• Adding New Water: Always add through skimmers. Add necessary salt (1.5-2.5 gr per added liter).
• Winterizing: Not recommended to change pool water. Run system 2-3 times per week (2-3 hours per day).
• Dosing Pumps: Regularly check liquid levels to prevent dry running. Refer to instructions on the box for maintenance.
• pH/Redox/Conductivity Probes: Clean every 5-6 months by inserting in distilled water. Calibrate after each cleaning. Store probes wet if emptying the pool for winter.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides detailed troubleshooting steps for common issues such as blank display, excess/lack of chlorine, incrusted titanium cell, alarm AL3, pH dosing pump stopped, electrolysis display errors (LOW, FLOW), rust on metallic components, and polarity issues.

Safety Warnings:

• Maintain chemical levels as instructed.
• Ensure the cell is off during filter cleaning.
• Allow system time to adapt and increase chemical levels for the first 5 days.
• All metallic components within 3m of the pool must be earthed (below 37 Ohms). Use titanium heat exchangers if applicable.
• Children should not handle the product unsupervised and must be supervised near the pool/spa.
• Handle dangerous chemicals with extreme precaution: always add acid to water, never water to acid, to avoid dangerous gas production.
