Congratulations on the purchase of your new Zodiac DuoClear™ complete in-ground pool sanitizing
system. Please take the time to read through the entire DuoClear manual before installing or using
your new unit.
The manual provides useful information on how to operate the DuoClear system most efficiently and
understand more about the maintenance of your pool. Your local pool shop can also be helpful in a more
detailed explanation in the care of your pool and assist you with any questions or problems.
How the DuoClear Works
The DuoClear™ combines Nature
2
mineral sanitizing technology with Clearwater saltwater chlorination.
In the DuoClear pool, trace amounts of silver and copper are used to kill bacteria and inhibit algae
growth.These minerals work with trace amounts of chlorine to provide complete pool sanitizing.
A measured quantity of salt is dissolved in the pool water to create a mild saline solution. As part of the
daily filtration cycle, pool water is passed through the mineral cartridge, then over the DuoClear electrodes
where chlorine is produced and dissolved instantly into the water.The chlorine, along with the silver and
copper minerals destroys bacteria and algae, and in doing so the chlorine reverts back to saltwater.
Every day, when your DuoClear and the filtration system are switched on, dust and debris are trapped by
the filter, and the DuoClear sanitizes the water to make it sparkling clear.
Important:To ensure the DuoClear works at maximum efficiency, regularly check and maintain the
chemistry of your pool.
