Operating Instructions

Whether closing for the winter or for vacation, your pool water should remain

clear for months if you prepare the pool correctly:

1. Ensure ion reading .3 to .5 ppm. The mineralized water will protect against

algae; the ions act as an algaecide, therefore no need to add additional

algaecide.

2. Turn off all equipment, including pumps, chlorinators, etc.

4. Remove floatron

3. Test ion level. Float unit to reestablish .3 ppm.

7.8 Range. Correct if necessary.

3. If the water is clear, no need to oxidize. If less than clear, add chlorine

oxidizer.

5. Drain water, winterize pumps, cover, etc. as desired.

6. Clean and remove electrode from the unit and store in an airtight plastic

bag or jar.

7. Store your floatron indoors. Avoid freezing.

It is highly unlikely that your floatron will not generate ions. Should there be any

doubt, the following quick check will visually prove electrical generation:

1. Fill a clear, glass or plastic, quart sized jar or equivalent with pool or tap

water.

2. Clean electrodes and leave screen off.

3. Place the floatron on the top of the jar, resting on the lip, with the

electrodes immersed in the water.
