4 3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Figure 3.1 4

5 3.1 Oxygen UV+ Cell (3) Please refer to Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2. It is recommended to install the oxidation cell within 1.5 metres of a vertical wall or fence to allow the power pack to be easily mounted. The Cell must be installed such that a localized air pocket will form in the event that no water is flowing (See Figure 3.2). Any heaters or other equipment MUST be installed before the cell. Also note that the flow sensor must always be positioned on the side of the cell housing to function effectively. (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 3.2 5

6 WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF THE CELL IS NOT INSTALLED AS SPECIFIED. 3.2 OXYGEN UV+ Power Pack (2) While the Oxygen UV+ power pack has a UV resistant cover for optimum performance & lifespan, the Oxygen UV+ should be installed out of direct sunlight & if installed within an enclosure it should have reasonable ventilation. The Oxygen UV+ power pack must be mounted on a vertical wall or fence within 1.5 metres of the cell and at least 1 metre above the ground. When connecting the cell, there are 3 connections Anode (RED), Cathode (BLACK) & the Sensor (WHITE). (Refer to following diagram in Figure 3.3). Figure 3.3 WARNING: THE OXYGEN UV+ MUST BE RUN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FILTER/PUMP AT ALL TIMES. 6

7 POWER PACK INSTALLATION The power supply is mounted on the wall using the mounting bracket and fittings supplied. After securing the bracket in the appropriate position relative to your needs, the power supply is hung on the bracket and locked into position by ensuring that the unit slips into the slots provided on the mounting bracket. It is preferable that the power supply is mounted in a location where it is protected from accidental water spray and inclement weather. It is strongly recommended that the unit is also protected and screened from the harsh sun, but in such a way that air flows freely through the structure and does not impede the natural air flow through the power supply. You should also ensure that the power supply is not used as a shelf to store or pack objects, as this can also impede the air flow, causing overheating and/or damage to the unit that is not covered by warranty. Mount the power supply so that you can see and reach the various controls and so that the cell lead has a comfortable margin to reach the cell terminal posts. Our recommendation is that the power supply is mounted slightly higher and to one side of the filter plant to allow easy access. (see Figure 3.1)

8 To ensure that the pump is always running while the Oxygen UV+ is operating, the user has the option of plugging the pump into the base of the the Oxygen UV+. If filtration is required beyond the Oxygen UV+ operation, please refer to sections 5.1(D) & 5.2(B). Once everything is securely plugged into to the cell & to the Oxygen UV+ Power Pack, only then plug the power lead into the VAC power. 4. POOL PREPARATION WITH PURASALTS & ALGAECIDE 4.1 Calculating Purasalts Requirement The Oxygen UV+ will produce Active Oxygen with Purasalts mineral concentrations as low as 1,600 parts per million (PPM) & can operate up to levels of 2,800 PPM. Operating your pool at 1,800 2,800 PPM is ideal and will reduce the running time of your pump, filter and also extend cell life. Note: The Purasalts are a true mineral and batches vary but approximate calculations are as follows. 2kg for every 1,000 litres of water will raise the mineral levels by 100ppm. When adding the Purasalts, disperse around the deep sections of the pool. DO NOT attempt to add Purasalts via the skimmer as this can cause damage to the filtration system and the Oxygen UV+ system. DO NOT have any automatic suction type pool cleaners operating until the Purasalts have completely dissolved. Allow the Purasalts to dissolve for 5 hours before Initial powering of the Oxygen UV+ system. 7

9 4.2 Algaecide We recommend using an algaecide especially during the summer months. The ratio is as follows mls per 4 weeks (1 month) PER 65-75,000 litres as a maintenance dose. Incoming water supply varies in all parts of the world. In South East Asia a lot of the water is from ground wells and sometimes sourced from poor water quality locations. This also applies for rural areas and even in some town water instances worldwide. 5. STARTING THE OXYGEN UV+ WARNING THE CHLORINATOR MUST BE RUN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FILTER/PUMP AT ALL TIMES. Before switching ON the Oxy UV Minerale, make sure the pump and Oxygen UV+are plugged into the power outlet. Once the Oxygen UV+is switched ON and salts are present in the water, you can adjust the Oxidation Production Output by pressing the + or buttons. Oxygen UV+will only start up when salts are added. Allow a couple of hours for dilution. At this point, your Oxygen UV+will now generate active oxygen. 8

11 A PRODUCTION % Output Display A series of 10 LEDs indicates the output production level of the Oxygen UV+. Adjustment of the output level is performed using the + / - buttons (D). The output level should only be reduced if an excess of chlorine is being produced due to excessive amounts of Minerale in your pool. In this case it will deplete OXYGEN LEVELS due to Water Chemistry. Yellow (Warning too LOW) Green (Correct operating levels)) Red (Warning too HIGH) B LED INDICATOR POLARITY Light on Indicates when the Oxygen UV+ is in reverse polarity. This LED will show that the Oxygen UV+ changes polarity periodically every 1.5 or 3 hours depending on the HIGH CALCIUM setting. C D E LED INDICATOR HIGH CALCIUM INCREASE / DECREASE OXIDATION CALCIUM HIGH / LOW Light on Indicates when the Oxygen UV+ is set to operate in a HIGH calcium environment Press the DOWN arrow to decrease Oxidation. Press the UP Arrow to increase Oxidation. Press the CALCIUM HIGH / LOW button to toggle this setting. Example: USA and South East Asia have many areas of high Calcium. 10

12 F LED INDICATOR COVER ON Indicates when an external switch has been switched on meaning the pool cover is in use or in some circumstances can be used as a winter mode power saving device (cooler climates). In this condition, the oxidation reduces production by 50%. The external switch is connected to the Oxygen UV+ via a DC power socket shown in figure 3.3. The DC power connector is also supplied. * No power is supplied from this socket & warranty will be void if found that the socket has been used for anything other than its designed purpose. G H ECO SALT MODE LED INDICATOR ECO SALT Pressing the ECO SALT mode button will change the system to the low salt chlorinator mode. Use standard pool salt at between ppm and the machine will produce between ppm of chlorine gas Light on indicates ECO SALT Mode 11

13 Figure 5.2 Timer A simple to use timer is used to control the operating time of the Oxygen UV+ & pump for the filtration system. The outer edge of the face of the timer can be turned clockwise to set the time. One revolution of the outer edge of the timer face represents 24 hours & each tag represents a 15-minute interval. Toggling the tags outwards will activate the Oxygen UV+ & pump for that time period. The timer can be overridden by changing switch from either OFF(0) to AUTO(¹) to ON(1). Note: The timer that is shown is designed to run with 50 Hz mains frequency. 60Hz is available for Oxygen UV+ sold in USA. 12

14 6. MAINTAINING THE POOL 6.1 Oxidation Levels Using a 4 in 1 test kit, test the pool water at least once a week to ensure a sufficient chlorine level is being maintained. A chlorine reading of 1.0mg/l (1 PPM) and above is adequate when taken near the skimmer box. Should the level fall below 1.0mg/l, check the Purasalts level to ensure it is correct; increase the production level if not 100% & if this isn t sufficient increase the daily running time for the Oxy UV Minerale, pump & filter. 6.2 ph Level The correct ph is within the range of 6.8 to 7.2 for fibreglass pools and 7.0 to 7.6 for other pools. 6.3 Total Alkalinity (TA) TA should be checked at least once every month and should be maintained between 80 to 110mg/l (80PPM to 120PPM) for correct pool water balance. 7. CELL INFORMATION The cell should be periodically inspected for accumulations of any foreign deposits. Common Causes of Premature Cell Failure:- Operating the cell with too little Minerale in the water. Excessive accumulation of calcium deposits on the cell. Low water flowing though the cell. Damage to electrode coating caused by scraping with sharp object. Cleaning the cell in too strong an acid solution. Acid washing the cell for too long and too often. Note: Warranty is void if any of the above is found to be the case. 13

15 8. GENERAL QUESTIONS & TROUBLE-SHOOTING 8.1 How does an Oxygen UV+ work? The Oxygen UV+ works by utilising the Purasalts in the water. The Oxygen UV+ supplies current to the cell which, in the presence of the specialised patented catalyst coating (ANODOX FUSION TECHNOLOGY), promotes specific reactions resulting in a combination of both Natural OXYGEN and very small amounts of Sodium Hypochlorite. This kills bacteria. 8.2 How does the Self-Cleaning Oxygen UV+ work? The Oxygen UV+ Cell cleans itself when the polarity is reversed. Note: Oxidation is produced in both polarities. 8.3 Fuse This model of Oxygen UV+ comes with a resettable fuse - located as shown in figure 3.3. Pressing the red button can reset the fuse. If the fuse is unable to be reset, turn off the power to the unit, unplug it & call an authorized service technician. 8.4 Low Oxidation production Please refer to section 6.1 Oxidation Levels. One possible reason for low oxidation production is low mineral levels Purasalts will need to be added - follow the procedure set out in section 4.1 Calculating Purasalts Requirements. It should be noted that generally the pool will not normally lose minerals. Warm weather generally makes the water evaporate raising the mineral level slightly. High rain fall can dilute the pool water reducing the mineral concentration. 14

16 Another possible reason for this problem is that the Oxygen UV+is under-capacity. Generally, the Oxygen UV+capacity is specified by pool size for warm & cool climates. Depending upon the concentration of people per day this can take the Oxygen UV+beyond its limit, if exceeded. WARNING THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE CHLORINATOR HOUSING. TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. 9. CUSTOMER REPONSIBILITIES Before you call for service please read the Operating Instructions carefully and check through the following points regarding your responsibilities as customer. A service fee will be charged should service be required as a result of any of the following: 1. Power point not turned ON. 2. Faulty Power-point. 3. Time Clock set incorrectly. 4. Unit incorrectly installed. 5. Switches and controls incorrectly set. 6. Poor water chemistry (Minerale levels, ph, Alk, Calcium etc). 7. Cell not maintained. 8. Water flow too low. 9. Unit having been tampered with by unauthorized persons. NOTE: If Salt Level is below 1300ppm the machine will not operate a display. 15

21 3.1 Chlorinator Cell (3) Please refer to Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2, it is recommended to install the electrolytic cell within 1.5 metres of a vertical wall or fence to allow the power pack to be easily mounted. The Cell must be installed such that a localized air pocket will form in the event that no water is flowing (See Figure 3.2). Any heaters or other equipment MUST be installed before the cell. Also note that the flow sensor must always be positioned above the cell (7) to function effectively. (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure

22 WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF THE CELL IS NOT INSTALLED AS SPECIFIED. 3.2 Chlorinator Power Pack (2) While the chlorinator power pack has a UV resistant cover, for optimum performance & lifespan, the chlorinator should be installed out of direct sun light & if installed within an enclosure, should have reasonable ventilation. The power pack must be mounted on a vertical wall or fence within 1.5 metres of the cell and at least 1 metre above the ground. Figure 3.3 When connecting the cell, there are 3 connections Anode (RED), Cathode (BLACK) & the Sensor (WHITE). (Refer to following diagram in Figure 3.3). 21

23 WARNING THE CHLORINATOR MUST BE RUN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FILTER/PUMP AT ALL TIMES. To ensure that the pump is always running while the chlorinator is operating, the user has the option of plugging the pump into the base of the chlorinator. If filtration is required beyond the chlorinator operation, please refer to sections 5.1(D) & 5.2(B). Once everything is securely plugged to the cell & to the chlorinator, only then plug the power lead into the VAC power. 4. POOL PREPARATION WITH SALT & STABILIZER 4.1 Calculating Salt Requirement The Salt-Water Chlorinator will produce chlorine with salt concentrations as low as 1,500 parts per million (PPM) & can operate up levels of 35,000 PPM (Seawater levels). Operating your pool at 1,800 2,800 PPM is ideal and will reduce the running time of your pump, filter and also extend cell life. Note that a salt concentration of 2000 PPM is equivalent to 2 grams per litre. When adding the salt, disperse around the deep sections of the pool. DO NOT attempt to add salt via the skimmer as this can cause damage to the filtration system and 22

24 the chlorinator & DO NOT have any automatic suction type pool cleaners operating until the salt has completely dissolved. Allow the salt to dissolve for 5 hours before powering the chlorinator. 4.2 Stabilizer It is also recommended to add cynuric acid stabiliser. This prevents Chlorine from breaking down too quickly, especially during the summer months. Recommended dose of Stabiliser (Cynuric Acid) is 30-60PPM (i.e mg per litre). 5. STARTING THE CHLORINATOR WARNING THE CHLORINATOR MUST BE RUN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FILTER/ PUMP AT ALL TIMES. Before switching ON the chlorinator, making sure the pump and Chlorinator are plugged into the power outlet. Once the chlorinator is switched ON, the Chlorine Production Output Display will show the chlorine production setting. By default, the unit should be set to 100% & should not be changed during the initial setup period. At this point, your Chlorinator will now generate Chlorine. 23

29 6. MAINTAINING THE POOL 6.1 Chlorine Level Using a 4 in 1 test kit, test the pool water at least once a week to ensure a sufficient chlorine level is being maintained. A chlorine reading of 1.6mg/l (1.6 PPM) and above is adequate when taken near the skimmer box. Should the level fall below 1.6mg/l, check the salt level to ensure it is correct; increase the production level if not 100% & if this isn t sufficient, increase the daily running time for the chlorinator, pump & filter. 6.2 ph Level The correct ph is within the range of 6.8 to 7.2 for fibreglass pools and 7.2 to 7.6 for other pools. 6.3 Total Alkalinity TA should be checked at least once every month and should be maintained between 100 to 140mg/l (100PPM to 140PPM) for correct pool water balance. Have the water checked for Cynuric Acid Stabiliser. 28

30 7. CELL INFORMATION The cell should be periodically inspected for accumulations of any foreign deposits. Common Causes of Premature Cell Failure:- Operating the cell with too little salt in the water. Excessive accumulation of calcium deposits on the cell. Low water through cell. Damage to electrode coating caused by scraping with sharp object. Cleaning the cell in too strong an acid solution. Acid washing the cell for too long and too often. Note: Warranty is voided if any of the above is found to be case. 8. GENERAL QUESTIONS & TROUBLE-SHOOTING 8.1 How does a Chlorinator work? The Chlorinator works by utilising the salt in the water which is made up of Sodium & Chlorine. The chlorinator supplies current to the cell which, in the presences of the catalyst coating, promotes specific reactions those results in Sodium Hypochlorite. This kills bacteria & in doing so, brakes down back to salt. 8.2 How does the Self-Cleaning Chlorinator work? In principle, the Chlorinators operation is the same as the standard Chlorinator. The Chlorinator Cell cleans itself when the polarity is reversed. In the Standard Cell, Calcium builds up over a period of time depending on how much calcium the pool contains. White Cement pool finishes are known to have a calcium problem and a Self-Cleaning Chlorinator is an option 29

31 to eliminate frequent cleaning of the chlorinator cell. Note: Chlorine is produced in both polarities. 8.3 Fuse This model of chlorinator comes with a resettable fuse, located as shown in figure 3.3. Pressing the red button can reset the fuse. If the fuse is unable to be reset, turn off the power to the unit, unplug it & call an authorized service technician. 8.4 Low chlorine production Please refer to section 6.1 Chlorine Level. One possible reason for low chlorine production is low salt levels. If this occurs, the display will show a level lower than that set and the user will also be unable to raise the level. Salt will need to be added, following the procedure set out in section 4.1 Calculating Salt Requirement. It should be noted that generally pool will not normally lose salt. Warm weather generally makes the water evaporate, raising the salt level. But high rain fall can dilute the pool water reducing the salt concentration. Another possible reason for this problem is that the chlorinator is under-capacity. Generally, chlorinator s capacity is specified by pool sizes for warm & cool climates. But this assumes a concentration of people per day & this can take a chlorinator beyond its limit, if exceeded. WARNING THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE CHLORINATOR HOUSING. TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. 30
