Overview (Product Information)
Ionizer Information
Solar Ionizer Overview:
- Function: Disintegrates matter at the atomic level, used for water purification.
- Historical Practice: Ionization used for thousands of years, especially with copper and silver containers.
- Technology: Utilizes a small electrical charge to energize electrodes, enhancing the ionization process.
Working Mechanism:
- Electrodes: Composed of copper/silver or silver/copper/zinc.
- Efficiency: Superior efficacy with chlorine at 0.2 to 0.4 PPM versus chlorine alone.
- Durability of Ions: Ions remain in the water for extended periods, don't evaporate under extreme conditions.
Safety and Compliance:
- Mineral Safety: Safe and essential for human consumption.
- Fish Pools: Safe for use, effectively maintains pool hygiene in fish-inhabited waters.
Longevity and Maintenance:
- Lifespan: Engineered for durability to match the swimming pool's lifetime.
- Electrodes: Consumable, replaceable as needed over time.
Usage Guidelines:
- Continuous Operation: Unneeded and not recommended to minimize electrode wear.
- Initial Activation: Daily deployment is necessary to reach the necessary ion levels.
- Routine Maintenance: Several days each week are adequate after the initial period.
- Adverse Conditions: Use more frequently in larger pools or during harsh weather.
- Safety During Use: It is completely safe to swim while the ionizer operates in the water.
Pool Cover and Solar Ionizer Functionality:
- The solar ionizer requires direct sunlight to function correctly.
- If your pool is covered, ensure the unit can access sunlight by tethering it to a spot where the cover is lifted or cutting a small hole in the cover for the unit.
Addressing Green Pool Water:
- Heavy rain or overcast days can imbalance water due to lack of sunlight for ionization.
- To correct the issue, administer a pool shock treatment, operate the filter for an extended period, and let the water regain its balance.
- Avoid excessive chemicals as they may worsen the situation.
Correct Number of Units for Pool Size:
- It is important to have the appropriate number of ionizer units based on the pool's volume.
- A single unit is suitable for pools up to 22,000 gallons; pools exceeding this size will need more units for effective performance.
Managing High pH Levels:
- The recommended pH range for the Chlorine-Free Sun Shock is now 7.2-7.8.
- The device operates efficiently even at higher pH levels; avoid unnecessary pH adjustments if within this range.
- Focus on maintaining adequate ion levels and minimize chlorine use to keep water clear.
- Allow the water to naturally find its balance without forcing conditions.
Copper Test Strips Information:
Overview of Copper Test Strips:
- Copper test strips are optional and not essential for monitoring.
- High copper levels are not considered hazardous.
Accuracy of Copper Test Strips:
- Test strip readings may be inaccurate due to the presence of other minerals or chemicals in the water.
- Natural minerals in the local water supply can affect readings—this is a normal occurrence.
Interpreting Copper Test Strip Readings:
- Difficulty in obtaining accurate readings from copper test strips is common.
- If readings are low or zero, it might be due to interference from other substances in the water.
- Reducing chlorine levels is advised if the pool remains clear despite these readings.
Action Steps for Clear Pool Water with No Copper Reading:
- The sensitivity of copper test strips may lead to incorrect readings for various reasons, including remnants of previous chemicals or local water treatment substances.
- Zero copper readings with clear pool water suggest the Solar Pool Ionizer is successfully maintaining pool cleanliness.
- Clear water is a sign that the ionizer is functioning properly, and there's no need for concern over the absence of copper readings.
