HOW THE ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION WORKS
The Electrocatalytic Oxidation (E.C.O.) is an Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). When direct
current is applied to the electrocatalytic oxidation electrodes, water will be discharged to generate
“hydroxyl radicals”. The hydroxyl radical is a powerful oxidant, which oxidizes organic
contaminants, and destroys bacteria and algae. Hydroxyl radicals in combination with free
available chlorine provide the strongest and safest pool water sanitation.

Initial startup and operation:
Before operating, be sure that:
• All the hoses have been connected and tightened securely, and correct amount of filter sand
have been loaded.
• The entire system is connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a residual current
device (RCD).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
CAUTION
The filter control valve has a closed position. The pump should
never be on when the valve is in the closed position. If the pump is
operated with the valve closed, and explosive situation could exist.
1.
Turn both plunger valve handles fully counter-clockwise until they stop. This opens the valves
to allow water to flow into the sand filter pump.
2.
Ensure the drain/waste outlet on the 6-way valve is not covered and directed to a proper
draining receptacle.
3.
Ensure the pump is off, depress the 6-way valve and turn
it to the “
BACKWASH” position (see drawings 27 & 32).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the 6-way valve,
always depress the valve handle before turning.
Always switch off pump before changing the 6-way
valve position.
4.
Switch on the pump
(see drawing 33). Water is circulating
backward through the sand media and to waste/drain outlet.
Backwash until a clear flow of water is observed in the
waste/drain outlet or through the drain sediment window.
NOTE: The initial backwash of the filter is recommended to
remove any impurities or fine sand particles in the sand
media.

5.
Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “RINSE” position
(see drawing 28).
6.
Switch on the pump and run the pump for about one minute to level out the sand bed after
backwashing the sand media.
7.
Switch off the pump, change the 6-way valve to “FILTER” position
(see drawing 26).
8.
Switch on the pump. The system is now operating in the normal filtering mode. Run the pump
until the desired pool water clearance is obtained and no more than 12 hours per day.
9.
Record the initial pressure gauge reading when the filter media is clean.
NOTE: During initial setup of the system, it may be necessary to backwash frequently due to
unusual heavy dirt present in the water and sand. After that, as the filter removes dirt and
impurities from the pool water, the accumulated dirt in the sand media will cause the pressure
to rise and the flow to diminish. If there is no vacuuming device attached to the system and
the pressure gauge reading is in the yellow zone it is time to backwash the sand media, see
“BACKWASH” under “initial startup and operation” section.
Vacuuming device (i.e. Intex auto pool cleaner) attached to the system may also cause the
flow to diminish and the pressure to rise. Remove any vacuuming device from the system and
check if the pressure gauge reading has dropped from the yellow zone to the green zone.

SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES
• Whichkindofsalttouse:
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use
water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take
a longer time for them to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda)
colored salt. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create the
sanitizer. So, the purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
• OptimumSaltLevels
The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal
level is 3000 ppm.
A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the saltwater system and result in low sanitizer
production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste to the pool water (this may occur at a salt
level above 3500-4000ppm). Too high of a salt level may damage the power supply and cause
corrosion to pool metal fixtures and accessories. The Salt Table page of this manual, shows the
correct dosage of salt needed. The salt in the pool is constantly recycled. Salt loss occurs only
when pool water is physically removed from the pool. Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
• AddingSalt
1
. Switch on the unit, then press and hold both and button for 5 seconds, the LED
flashes “FP”. The unit is now in a Filter pump working mode and switch the filter pump on to
start the water circulation.
2
. Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
3
. Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
4
. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
5
. Avoid clogging the filter by not adding salt through the skimmer.
6
. Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow salt to pile up on the
bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
7
. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press button
until you hear a “beep”, code “00” flashing (see “System Operation” section steps 2 to 4) and
set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see “Operating Time Table”).
• RemovingSalt
If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see “Alarm Codes”).
You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so, is to partially drain the pool
and refill it with fresh water. Drain and refill approximately 20% of the pool’s water until the “Code
92” disappears.

INTEX POOLS CYANURIC ACID TABLE
Cyanuric acid is a chemical that reduces the loss of chlorine in water due to ultraviolet rays. To
maintain maximum performance, we recommend that the cyanuric acid level be maintained at
approximately 1% of the salt, i.e. 100 Lbs (45 Kgs) salt x1% = 1 Lbs (0.45 Kgs) cyanuric acid.
If the pool water is dirty, filthy or grimy, DO NOT add chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) as this
will slowdown the sanitation time of the device. Under this condition you must BOOST your
pool water, refer to BOOST cycle steps. Once the pool water has been restored to clear and
clean conditions you may add cyanuric acid.

use a plastic brush to remove deposits from the basket.
Do not use metal brush.
6.
Clean and rinse the inside of the pre-filter housing and
the leaf trap O-ring with a garden hose.
7.
Reinstall the leaf trap O-ring, basket and leaf trap cover
to the pre-filter housing.
8.
Close the sediment release valve
(19) back.
FLOW SENSOR CLEANING
1
. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the collar of the flow sensor
(21) and remove it from
the electrolytic cell conduit
(22). See “Part Reference”.
2
. If deposits and debris are seen on the surface of the flow sensor, then use a garden hose
to wash it off.
3
. If flushing with water does not remove the deposits, use a plastic brush to clean the surface
and the hinge if necessary. Do not use a metal brush.
4
. After the flow sensor has been inspected and cleaned, align the locator notch on the flow
sensor to the connection ridge in the conduit. Now turn the collar in a clockwise motion,

ELECTROLYTIC CELL CLEANING
E.C.O. ELECTRODE CLEANING
The titanium electrode and E.C.O. electrodes have a self cleaning function incorporated into the
electronic control’s programming. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the electrodes
working at optimum efficiency. If the pool water is hard (high mineral content) the electrodes may
require periodic manual cleaning. To maintain maximum performance, we recommend that you
open and visually inspect the titanium and E.C.O. electrodes (4 & 5) monthly.
The following steps are some instructions on how to clean your cell.
1. Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
2
. Disconnect the hose
(12) from the electrolytic cell (22) outlet and cover the outlet with the
drain outlet cover
(3) from the 6-way valve (see drawings 36 and 37).
3.
Remove the electrolytic cell from the 6-way valve outlet by unscrewing the electrolytic cell
(22)
collar
(see drawing 38).
4.
Pour kitchen grade vinegar into the cell to immerse the titanium plates
(see drawing 39).
Soak for about 1 hour and then flush with a high-pressure garden hose.
5.
Reverse steps 2 to 4 to reconnect the electrolytic cell.
1
. Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
2
. In a counter-clockwise motion, unscrew the electrical plug collar from the E.C.O. electrode
cell, and remove the electrical plug from electrode cell (see drawings 40 and 41).
3.
Unscrew the E.C.O. electrode cell collar, then remove the electrode cell and place it on a
bucket.
4.
Pour kitchen grade vinegar into the bucket until the E.C.O. electrode cell is immersed (see
drawing 43)
. Soak for 1 hour and then flush with a high-pressure garden hose.
5. Reverse steps 2 to 4 to reconnect the E.C.O. electrode cell.

MAINTENANCE (continued)
POOL CARE & CHEMICALS
• All pools require care to keep the water clear and hygienically clean. With proper chemical
control, your filter will help attain this objective. Consult your pool supply dealer for
instructions regarding the proper use of chlorine, algaecide and other chemical agents
required for sparkling clear water.
• Keep pool chemicals away from children.
• Do not replenish chemicals in pool while pool is occupied. Skin or eye irritations could
occur.
• Daily pH checking and chemical treatment of the water is very important and cannot be
overemphasized. Maintenance of proper pH levels are required when filling the pool as well
as during the season. Consult your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• The season's first filling of the pool may have brackish water requiring extra water additives
and extra filtering time. Do not allow swimming in pool until the pH level is balanced. Consult
your local swimming pool supply store for instructions.
• Chlorinated water may damage lawns, gardens or shrubbery as children play in the pool
and splash water outside the pool. Lawn areas underneath the pool liner will be destroyed.
Note that some types of grass may grow through the liner.
• Filter run time depends on pool size, weather and usage level. Experiment with various run
times so as to produce clean clear water.
The Test Strips can test the “Free Chlorine”, “pH”, “Calcium Hardness” and “Total Alkalinity”
levels at the same time. We recommend that you test the water chemistry weekly, and maintain
the chlorine concentration at 0.5-3 ppm.
Directions and Use
1. Dip the entire strip into the water and remove immediately.
2
. Hold the strip level for 15 seconds. Do not shake excess water from the strip.
3
. Now compare the strip pad to the color chart on the packaging label. If necessary, adjust the
chemical level in the pool water. It is very important, to use the proper technique when
testing the water's chemical level. Read and follow the written strip instructions carefully.

POOL MAINTENANCE & CHEMICAL DEFINITIONS
Consult with local swimming pool dealer for water treatment.
• Do not add pool chemicals directly to the skimmer. This may damage the cell.
• Maintaining a salt and sanitizer level above the recommended range can contribute to the
corrosion of the pool equipment.
• Check the expiry date of the test kit as the test results may be inaccurate if the kit is used after
that date.
• If, due to heavy pool usage, it is required to increase the sanitizer level, then use a chemical
based on trichlor, TCCA or dichloro.

Is the chlorine residual present in pool water.
Combined Chlorine
-
Is formed by the reaction of free chlorine with ammonia wastes.
Result if too high - Sharp chlorinous odor, eye irritation.
pH
-
A value that indicates how acidic or basic a solution is.
Result if too low - Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation, destruction of
total alkalinity.
Result if too high - Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter filter runs,
eye & skin irritation, poor chlorine efficiency.
Total Alkalinity
-
Indicates the degree of the water's resistance to change in pH.
It determines the speed and ease of pH change, so always adjust total
alkalinity before adjusting the pH level.
Result if too low - Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation. Low alkalinity
will cause the pH to be unstable. Any chemical
added to the water will have an affect on pH.
Result if too high - Scale formation, cloudy water, eye & skin
irritation, poor chlorine efficiency.
Calcium Hardness
-
Refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in the water.
Result if too high - Eye & skin irritation, difficulty balancing water and
poor chlorine efficiency. Scale will form and will
cause the water to become cloudy.
Stabilizer
-
Stabilizers extend the life of chlorine in swimming pools.

1.
Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed
towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations
for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2.
Switch off the unit, and disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3.
When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and remove the
strainers/plunger valves from the pool wall.
4.
In a counter clockwise motion unscrew the drain valve cap
(9) from the drain valve to
thoroughly drain the tank. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.
5.
Disassemble the pump motor from the tank base.
6.
Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7.
Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• L-shape o-ring
(27).
• o-ring A
(18).
• Pump hose O-rings
(29).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers
(30).
• Flat strainer rubber washers
(32).
8.
Depress the 6-way valve handle and rotate so as to set the pointer on the valve top “N”
position. This allows the water to drain from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this inactive
position.
9.
It is best to place all dry pieces and pump motor in the original packaging for storage. To avoid
condensation or corrosion problem, do not cover or wrap pump motor with plastic bags.
10.
Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature should be
controlled, between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40 degrees Celsius
(104 degrees Fahrenheit).
LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
CAUTION
Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the
warranty. If anti-freeze solution is needed, use only propylene
glycol. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic
system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may
damage plastic components in the system.

• Learn to swim.
• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the use
of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.
• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.
• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.
• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
