IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Attention Operator: This manual contains important information about the operation

and safe use of this product.

 WARNING - READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS

 WARNING – This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the
appliance.

 WARNING – Children less than eight (8) years shall be kept away unless

continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from eight
(8) years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children should not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children without
supervision.

 WARNING – When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER,

NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.

 WARNING – Do not open Electronic Control Unit. There are no serviceable

elements in the control box. Always return to Enviroswim for repair.

 WARNING – Do not operate electrolytic cell without proper flow or water

circulation. A build-up of gases will result in hazardous conditions.

 CAUTION – Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be

hazardous. Follow the Chemical Manufacturer’s Instructions. Do not add
undiluted chemicals directly to the pool as staining may occur. Undiluted Calcium
Hypochlorite reacts with copper and silver and can cause staining, an alternative
such as liquid chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite) or a non-chlorine oxidiser is
recommended if shock treatment is required. Do not use Cyanuric Acid
(Stabiliser) as this will inhibit oxidation processes.

 CAUTION – This unit is for use with permanently – installed pools. Do not use

with storable pools. A permanently – installed pool is constructed in or on the
ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

If you employ a pool maintenance contractor,

ensure that they read and follow these

instructions as an Enviroswim System pool

differs from common chlorine/salt pools.

The best results with the Enviroswim system are obtained by
following a few simple rules:

 Do not use stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid)
 Do not use bromine compounds
 Do not use aluminium based or any other

flocculants

 Do not use Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate)

 Do not use Granular Chlorine. The use of

Granular Chlorine (Calcium Hypochlorite) may
cause black staining of the pool rendering if it is
added undiluted to a pool treated by an Enviroswim
System. Use only unstablised liquid chlorine
(Sodium Hypochlorite) or OxyShock (non chlorine
Oxidiser).

 Do not throw un-dissolved chemicals into

the pool.

 Clean the pool filter regularly.

Due to the many different test kits on the market, we recommend
that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with each
test kit.

1 Operating Instructions

Thank you for purchasing the Enviroswim ES-3. Following these basic instructions will
allow you to enjoy the benefits of low maintenance and exceptional water quality
achievable with this system. During periods of intense use or when there has been

significant water dilution or contamination more frequent testing and active
management may be required.

Warning:

It is important that the ES-3 system only be allowed to operate when the pool
pump is running so that water is flowing through the ionization/oxidation
chamber and the ultrasonic emitter when they are in operation. Ensure that
variable speed pumps maintain sufficient water flow.

1.1 System operation

Water that is totally acceptable for drinking purposes may have a definite mineral
imbalance for use in a swimming pool. In parts of the world where mineral excesses
or deficiencies exist in natural water, the pool will need initial balancing. A balanced
pool is necessary for proper disinfection and will assure freedom from staining and
scaling problems. Mineral imbalance and improper pH control can significantly
complicate maintenance and have a serious deteriorating effect on the pool itself.
After initial balancing of the water, mineral balance must be maintained within the
proper parameters to provide continued protection and ease of maintenance.
Frequency of testing is dependent on weather and pool load.

Avoid prolonged running of the pool with a high pH and or high copper levels. This is
easily avoided by regular testing. Enviroswim recommends that you test the pool
water every two weeks.

The only chemicals necessary to keep your pool balanced and healthy will be a buffer

such as sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid. Naturally, you’ll continue to

remove leaves and dust as usual, as these eat up the sanitizer and provide nutrients
for algae and bacteria.

Clock

If using the timer this is set by

1. To set current time, rotate minute hand clockwise until arrow

head aligns with correct time. Note: This will need to be reset

whenever the power is disconnected from the unit and for
daylight saving time changes. Note: Only rotate clockwise

to set. Rotating incorrectly will damage the time clock.

2. To set ON/OFF times, move required tappets to appropriate
position. Inner position for OFF and outer position for ON. Note :

proper operation requires that the appropriate switch

operated unless the pump is running and the system when properly
installed should preclude this.
