2. Installation

2.1 Recommendations

Warning: pH Perfect must be installed by an experienced pool professional.

Before carrying out any installation or maintenance of the pH Perfect control centre, disconnect it

from the mains power supplies.

Before starting to install the pH Perfect, check that you have all the components listed above and

ensure you read this instruction manual carefully.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) that lack experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance

by a responsible person. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. The installation of this device should be carried out by a qualiﬁed person in accordance with the

Australian wiring rules AS/NZS 3000. The control centre should be located in the correct pool zone and connected to supply via a power

outlet that is protected by a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current

not exceeding 30mA. The power outlet should have a degree of protection suitable for the pool zone Ensure that equipotential bonding of all parts of the pool installation is carried out. During the installation phase of the pH Perfect, check the following:

• that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage indicated on the side of the appliance

• that the injection point pressure is lower than 1.5 Bar

• that the peristaltic pump's protection cover is correctly ﬁtted

• that the suction tube is immersed in the corrective solution (pH up or down) container with the suction tube also connected to the peristaltic pump (left side).

• that the injection tube is connected on one side to the peristaltic pump (right side) and on the other side to the pool return pipe via the injection valve.

Zodiac Group Australia Pty Ltd will not be held liable for the use of this device with inappropriate

products.

The pH sensor is fragile, it must be handled with care. Try to avoid touching the tip with your ﬁngers.

If the supply cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or similarly qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

2.3 Installation Diagram

Installation of the pH Perfect on the ﬁltration system:

It is recommended that pH Perfect be installed after the ﬁlter (and any heating device) but before the salt chlorinator cell... if no salt chlorinator is installed it should be the last device on the return line

Hydraulic Diagram

Electrical connection

If you are using an external timer to control your ﬁlter pump please plug the ‘piggyback’ plug located on the pH Perfect into the timer and then plug the ﬁlter pump into the piggyback plug. This will create a controlled time circuit for pH Perfect with the ﬁlter pump.

Now connect the pH Perfect power plug into a power point to power the unit up

Your pH sensor is a very delicate product and can be affected by external forces such as stray electrical current from other devices.

When connecting the sensor into position try to keep the cable away from other power leads

The maximum pressure in the pipes must not be greater than 1.5 Bar. In order to extend the life of the peristaltic tube, the pressure should not exceed 1 bar

Install the pH Perfect control centre using the supplied ﬁxing kit on a rigid support (a vertical wall) in an easy to access location.

Warning:

- Acid fumes are highly corrosive

- Do not store acid directly underneath the control unit

- It is preferable to store acid in a safe place outside the ﬁlter shed

- If storing inside ensure adequate ventilation is provided
