PURITY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL P10MRI

 

Thank you for purchasing PURITY chlorine generator.  Carefully and completely read these instructions before installing.

                                                                                         

1.      Before installing PURITY the pool should be clean, pH balanced, stabilized (cyanuric acid) at 60 to 80 ppm, free of algae, the filter cleaned, and then shock the pool with chlorine to 5 ppm.  Failure to add the stabilizer will allow the sun to destroy the chlorine as fast as it is produced and you will not be able to maintain your chlorine level.  Do not proceed until you have added the proper stabilizer level to your pool.  You can purchase chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) and a test kit at your local pool dealer.  Your stabilizer level will only need increased once or twice a year as it is diluted due to water replacement.  If you do not have an ionizer installed on your pool we highly recommend you purchase one.  Purity will not properly sanitize your pool without one.

2.      Turn off the power to the pool equipment.

3.      Mount the PURITY control box with the cords facing down, where it is convenient to use, where the cell will reach it when placed deep into the pool water, and where the power supply can be connected to it when plugged into a GFI outlet.  The power supply must be installed at least 5 feet from the pool, and not outdoors unless a weather proof outlet cover is installed over the power supply.  Mount the controller on a wall or vertical surface such as a post, fence, or wall.  It is best to install the controller where it is protected from the sun and weather.  To mount the control box, remove the cover and insert the 4 mounting screws into the slots on the corners and fasten to the vertical surface.

4.      Place the electrode cell in the pool water near the bottom and fasten the cord with the strap and screw provided.

5.      Turn the power switch to the off position.  Plug the cord from the power supply into the receptacle on the bottom of the control box.

 

 

 

PURITY OPERATION

 

 

1.      Turn on the power to the pool equipment.

2.      Turn on the pool filter pump.

3.      Turn the Cell Power switch to the OFF position until the salt is added and completely dissolved.

4.      Test the salt level with the salt test kit.  The older your pool is the less salt you will probably need to add.  On a pool with a salt level below 500 ppm you will need to add about 200 lbs. of salt per 10,000 gals of water.  Use 40 lb. bags of fine grain, untreated, salt.  You can purchase this salt from your local pool dealer.  You can use rock salt (water softener salt) if you are unable to find fine grain salt, but it will take longer to dissolve.  Make sure any salt used is at least 99.5% salt with NO additives.  Be careful not to add too much salt, because if you do you will have to remove some of your pool water and add fresh water to dilute the water.  Before adding salt to the pool, turn on the pump and turn off the PURITY controller and leave it off until all the salt is dissolved.  Add salt by pouring it directly into the pool, or by pouring it slowly into the skimmer while the pump is running.  Maintain the salt level at 2,600 ppm to 3,400 ppm.  Run the pump for 24 hours to ensure that the salt is properly dissolved.

5.      Monitor the chlorine level weekly and turn the Cell Power switch to the OFF position for 1 to 3 days if the chlorine level is to high to maintain the proper chlorine level.  Test the pH weekly and maintain it at 7.2 to 7.6.  Once every 3 to 6 months check the salt level and stabilizer level.  Keep the stabilizer level between 60 and 80 ppm.  If algae are ever present in the pool add a non-copper algaecide and shock the pool with chlorine to 5 to 10 ppm and maintain 3 ppm of chlorine until all algae are gone.

6.      Add Instant Ions to your water following the instructions on the bottle.  Test the copper level with the copper test kit provided.  Test the copper level weekly and maintain at .3 ppm.

7.      Once a week change the switch from the ON position to the OFF position for 10 seconds, and then to the other ON position.  This will reverse the polarity to the electrodes keeping them clean.  The control should be kept in the two on positions equally and switched to the other position and left in that position all week.  Never switch from one ON position to the other ON position without stopping at the OFF position for at least 10 seconds.  Reversing the polarity quickly will damage the electrodes and void the warranty.

8.      The electrodes should stay clean, but if the electrodes should clog with a white calcium build up the cell must be cleaned chemically.  To clean the cell, turn off the power to the PURITY controller.  Add 1 part hydrochloric (muriatic) acid to 5 parts water in a covered container.  Remove the electrodes and place the electrode cell in the solution for about five minutes.  Rinse with water when clean.  Do not try to clean the electrodes with a brush or any other object.  Reinstall the cell.  If you use a container with a tight lid you can store the cleaning solution and use it many times.

9.      Now you can relax and enjoy your pool in the nicest, softest, cleanest, safest water you have ever experienced.

10.  Keep these instructions in a safe place.

 

Winter Operation

How to Winterize PURITY

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

 

 

Please read this guide before calling your dealer or the manufacturer.

 

PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

1.       Low Chlorine Level

 

Cell Power Switch in OFF Position

 

Insufficient Run Time

 

Low Salt Level

 

Electrodes Need Cleaned

 

 

Worn Out Electrodes

 

 

Equipment Failure

Turn to either ON Position

 

Make sure the power supply has power 24 hours every day.

 

Check salt level and add salt if below 2,600 ppm.

 

Clean electrodes according to cleaning instructions under OPERATION.

 

Check electrodes for wear or damage.  The electrodes have a 20,000 hour life and may need replaced if they are old and failing.

 

Check voltage to electrodes.  It should be 5VDC.  If not, either the power supply has failed or there is a loose connection.  Check the power connector on the control box for a loose connection and tighten, clean, or replace.  Check Cell Power Switch for proper voltage into and out of switch.

 

2.    High Chlorine level

Units needs to be turned off

 

Turn the Cell Power switch to the OFF position for 1 to 3 days until the chlorine level returns to the proper level.

 

3.    Cloudy Water

Insufficient Chlorine Level

 

 

Insufficient run time

 

 

 

Dirty filter

Shock water with chlorine and test for at least 5 ppm after 30 minutes.  Shock whenever the water just begins to cloud.

 

Make sure the filter pump run time is at least 8 hours every day.  In hot summer months it may require 12 hours or more every day.

 

Check and clean filter

 

4.    Scale Build-up on Electrodes

 

Electrodes need manual cleaning

 

If there is a scale build-up between the electrodes, clean the electrodes according to the instructions under OPERATION.

 

 

Do not call your PURITY Dealer or Sunshine Pool Products, LLC with spa chemistry problems.
