IF THE COPPER-ION LEVEL IS TOO LOW
Turn the control knob up (or clockwise) a notch. Test the following day. Continue this procedure till the Copper-Ion level
stabilizes. Once you obtain the proper setting, this usually stays the same all season long. If the water gets colder, the chance
of algae and bacteria decrease, thus a lower Copper-Ion level may be required. Be sure to test the Copper-Ion level weekly in
case adjustments are needed.
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AT THIS POINT FROM THE QUICK CHART (BLUE SHEET) INCLUDED
WITH THE PURIFIER.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
CLOUDY WATER OR ALGAE
Brush the algae with a brush. Add chlorine or bromine to the spa. Check filtering system and backwash or clean two times a
day till the water clears up. Check the water chemistry - especially pH and Total Alkalinity. Check the Copper-Ion level. The
amount of chlorine or bromine needed depends on how cloudy the water is and how much algae there is in the spa.
CAN'T OBTAIN PROPER COPPER-ION LEVEL
1.) High algae growth and cloudy water may be using up all available copper-ions the unit can produce. Balance spa water
and turn control knob up. See above.
2.) Correct sizing of spa. Is the spa more than 2,000 gallons? Is there a leak in the spa?
3.) Correct input voltage. Is the unit set to 115 VAC or 230 VAC - the same as the power source?
4.) Scaled, dirty or worn electrodes. Check electrodes for cleaning or replacing. Consult the owners manual for more details.
5.) TDS level too low. See beginning chapter of this manual under "Total Dissolved Solids" on how to increase the water's
TDS level.
6.) Improper test kit readings. Make sure you are following the proper Copper-Ion test kit procedures. Many people look at the
side of the test tubes when testing instead of looking down from the top.
7.) Improper pH reading. The main problem of low or no copper-ion reading. Make sure the pH is under 8.0 and over 7.0 .
When the pH is over 7.8, the copper ions fall out of solution.
8.) Too much chlorine or bromine in the spa. If the spa was just shocked with a lot of chlorine or bromine, this can give you an
improper test kit reading. Always test the copper-ion level before adding anything to the spa.
9.) Metal out removers. As mentioned in the Sequestering Agent Level section in this booklet, there are a few metal out
removers or stain removers that can "tie-up" the copper-ion levels. Test with a Sequestering Agent test kit, or send water
sample to
Clearwater Enviro Tech
to confirm. If the spa does have a metal out remover that is affecting the system, simply
shock the spa with a lot of chlorine or bleach to "burn it out".
10.) Steel plumbing. Never install the electrodes, pH probe or the Ion-Mate on steel piping. Cut out of section of this and
replace with PVC pipe.
11.) Improper installation. Sometimes people install the electrodes on a return line, or bypass line that actually has no water
flow going to it. Also check all wires for proper connections.
12.) Alternating lights do not come on the control box. See next section.
ALTERNATING LIGHTS DO NOT APPEAR ON THE CONTROL BOX
If for any reason you do not get a reading on the control box, and assuming all connections are correct, you should check the
fuse.
A.) Remove control knob using very small screw driver by loosening screw on side of knob.
B.) Carefully lift each comer of the face plate (colored decal) and disconnect the four (4) screws
C.) When all four (4) screws are removed, lift up the face plate and set aside.
D.) Disconnect the four (4) screws holding the printed circuit board in place.
E.) Lift printed circuit board up and turn over. Do not disconnect any wires. Very important.
F.) Locate fuse on back of circuit board.
G.) Check fuse to see if blown.
H.) If blown, replace fuse with a replacement (Radio Shack Part # 270-1249).
I.) Place printed circuit board in place again.
J.) Place collar in original location.
K.) Tighten in the four (4) screws to hold circuit board in place.
L.) Screw face plate back on.
M.) Replace control knob in correct position and tighten screw to secure knob in place.
If the fuse was blown, try to determine what happened. If this repeats again, replace the fuse(s) again with a 250 mA, 5 X 20
mm fast acting type (acceptable replacement Radio Shack stock number 270-1249). You may need to install a surge protector
before the power source if this repeats again.
