Installation Manual

CAUTION

Dose pool with a small amount of chlorine before starting the eQ.   If no chlorine is sensed the eQ may go to fail safe mode 

and not start up.  Some Chlorine should be present before starting the unit..
 Before installing probes, balance pool water.  Total Alkalinity (TA) must be 80 to 120 ppm, Calcium Hardness should be 180 

to 250 ppm, and pH must be between 7.2 and 7.6. 
Cyanuric Acid, sometimes referred to as stabiliser or sunscreen will suppress the Chlorine (ORP) reading when the Chlorine 

sensor is connected.   Refer to section on setting chlorine levels if Cyanuric Acid is present in your pool.
 Product is designed to run with ACID diluted to water to acid ratio of 2:1 should always be followed as the machines 

dosing rate is formulated around the diluted solution. Using neat acid can lead to overdosing the pH level.
