• To minimise the risk of gas build-up in the cell, you must ensure there is
sufficient water flow through the cell when the unit is on and producing chlorine.
• It is essential that your pool pump circulates sufficient water through the cell to
completely fill the cell with water during the chlorination process.
• Periodically check the safety flow switch to ensure it is free to move in the
direction of flow as indicated by the arrow on the cell (see Diagram A).
• Always check Davey’s website, davey.com.au for the latest versions
of Installation & Operation Instructions that support these products.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR SANITISER
FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE
& LIFE OF YOUR ECOMINERAL WATER SANITISER
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SANITISER
POOL BUILDERS: Please cover this information with your customer during the
new pool “Handover Session”
Sanitisers are a valuable piece of pool sanitising equipment and must be cared for to get the best
performance and life span from it.
There are THREE main factors that will damage your Sanitiser and reduce the life of the product.
Please monitor the following factors in accordance with your installation & operating instructions.
1. MAINTAIN RECOMMENDED TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) LEVELS
RECOMMENDED OPERATING RANGE: 4,000 - 6,000ppm
• Run Sanitiser at the TDS levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure
optimum sanitiser output and cell life.
• Operating this device at low TDS levels will damage the cell and reduce its life.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warning when the TDS levels are low.
• If no action is taken to rectify the TDS levels, damage to the cell may result which will not be
covered under warranty.
2. MONITOR & MAINTAIN YOUR SANITISER IN-LINE CELL
EcoMineral has a “Reverse Polarity” In-Line cell.
• To keep your EcoMineral Sanitiser in the best possible condition, regular monitoring of the
electrolytic cell is recommended. The ‘Cell’ is the clear plastic housing containing the plates.
• During the sanitisation process a white powdery Calcium scale may naturally build up on the
titanium plates in the cell. Monitor the cell to prevent excessive scale build up. Excessive scale
build up will cause damage to your cell, and dramatically reduce its efciency and lifespan.
• Reverse Polarity models have low maintenance cells that minimise scale build up.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warning when the cell requires cleaning.
• If Calcium scale builds up please clean the cell, following the cleaning instructions provided on
page 14.
• NEVER: Use concentrated acid to clean your cell.
• NEVER: Leave cell in cleaning solution for extended periods of time
• NEVER: Use metal implements, scourers or brushes to clean your cell
3. BALANCED POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
• EcoMineral Salt and Activator TDS levels MUST be maintained at 4,000 - 6,000ppm
for optimum performance and lifespan
• Calcium Hardness levels MUST be kept to ideal ranges of 200 - 275ppm (for Concrete and
Tiled Pools) and 100 - 225ppm (for other surfaces) to prevent excessive scale build up and
damage to equipment
• pH levels MUST be kept to ideal levels to prevent damage to equipment and pool surfaces and
to obtain optimum sanitiser effectiveness.
• Total Alkalinity and Stabiliser levels must also be kept in an ideal range.
Note: Please refer to the POOL WATER CHEMISTRY chart on page 17 for more information.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ECOMINERAL
INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY
Select a convenient well-ventilated location within one metre of lter equipment and mount the Power Supply
vertically onto a post or wall 1.5 metres above ground level. Australian Standards requires that the Power
Supply shall not be located within 3 meters of the pool water. Plug Power supply into a suitable weatherproof
outlet and plug pump into the power outlet of the Power Supply Unit. The Unit must be kept away from acid
and other chemical storage areas. Acid and chemical vapours will corrode the electronics inside the Unit.
It must also be kept away from heat sources. Good ventilation is necessary for correct operation.

Two self-tapping screws and wall plugs have been provided for fast and simple installation.
Use a 6mm masonry drill bit when tting Power Supply to a brick or concrete wall. When mounting to a post
drill pilot holes and t screws provided. Once screws are in position simply hang Sanitiser via bracket on
back of Unit.
IMPORTANT: This diagram is intended to
conform with SPASA for the safe operation of salt
sanitisers. Any deviation is at the installer’s risk
and may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
NOTE: The cell must be tted to allow for easy
removal and cleaning, and positioned after all
accessories such as heater or pool cleaner, but
before it divides if there is more than one return
to pool line.

CONNECTING THE IN-LINE ELECTROLYTIC CELL TO THE POWER SUPPLY
The EcoMineral System uses a reverse polarity In-Line Electrolytic Cell for low maintenance operation.
The EcoMineral Power Supply is tted with a exible lead terminated with push on brass connectors for the
EMX2400 model and push on brass connectors with a securing nut for the EMX3600 model.
These must be correctly tted to the connections on the Cell. Fit black connectors to the outer titanium rods.
Fit the white connector to the middle titanium rod as per illustration below.
EMX2400
EMX3600
NOTE: The EcoMineral Cell is supplied with a paddle type ow switch,
which is to be installed on the Cell as shown in the diagram on page 4.
IMPORTANT: The ow switch must be mounted with the highlighted arrow
on top of the switch pointing in the direction of ow.
Tighten the “push on
cell connectors” on the
EMX2400 by using a pair
of pliers, once applied.
Tighten the nuts with a
suitable spanner to secure
the cell connectors to
the titanium rods, on the
EMX3600 once applied.
Hold the back of the cell
leads when tightening.
