Important Notes

Warning
These products must be installed by a qualified installer.
Chlorinator Cell Housing Installation
The Mineral Swim™ PRO Series cell housing must be plumbed into the return line of the pool filter system after the filter and any diversion valves. In situations where a heater is incorporated, the Mineral Swim™ PRO Series cell housing must be installed after  the heater. Should a solar heating system be installed, the housing must be plumbed after the solar diverters and after the water exits the solar system and re-joins the main stream pool return line. Ensure there is a gas trap by always installing the chlorinator cell at a higher level than the filter (see below). 

Warning
These products must be installed by a qualified installer.

Pump Outlet Socket A 240 volt pump output power socket is supplied and located on the left-hand underside of the Mineral Swim™ control unit. Your pool pump power supply lead should be plugged into the socket so that when the time clock switches at the designated times both the Mineral Swim™ control unit and the pump will activate in unison.
The pump socket is designed to operate a single pool pump of maximum 1.5 hp (horse power) only. On rare occasions, a 2hp pump will be used as an integrated solution for in-floor and pool filtration. Do not attempt to operate any equipment other than your  pool pump from this socket as damage might occur to the Mineral Swim™ control unit that is not covered under warranty.

OPERATIONS

Salt/Mineral Requirements
Mineral Swim™ PRO1, PRO2 and PRO3 control units require 3,500–4,500ppm salt/mineral levels. Using only refined swimming pool salt or minerals, add the desired quantity to the swimming pool water. To assist in the rapid dissolving and mixing, sweep or  brush the solids until they are fully dissolved.
Note: Undissolved salt/minerals may result in staining of your pool’s interior walls. Achieving The Correct Salt/Mineral Levels
For best results, the salt/mineral concentration in the pool water is required to be within an average range of approximately 3,500–4,500ppm.
Check salt/mineral supplier’s guide for achieving correct ppm.
Existing Pools
To establish the salt/mineral (TDS) level in an existing pool, take a water sample to your local pool shop for testing. They will advise of the current salt/mineral levels (TDS), and advise the correct course of action required.
New Pools
It is essential that a new pool is balanced correctly. Consult your pool builder or an authorised pool technician on how to achieve this.
You can find the water chemistry parameters on page 21 of this manual.

Timer Switch
Off The system will not operate.
Auto The time clock will automatically switch your pool equipment on or off at your designated times.
Manual The timer is by-passed, the system will operate all functions permanently.

• Set the master switch to the ON position.
• Set the timer switch to “MANUAL” position to turn the unit on.
• Once the salt/minerals have been added and dissolved turn the cell production dial to the required position based on the season and the size of the pool (set to MAX output to start with and adjust down as required).
• Set the timer to run for the recommended times (4-6 hours for winter / 8-10 hours for summer). Switch the system to AUTO and the unit will now be controlled by the timer.
• 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. Only rotate clockwise to set. Rotating incorrectly will damage the time clock.
• 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 settings below are enabled.
• Each of the tappets on outer edge of the timer represents 15-minute intervals. Note: If you require your Mineral Swim- PRO Series to be connected to an off-peak tariff we recommend the use of an appropriate battery backup time clock for that purpose.

Operating Instructions

Time Setting
The clock measures time for a 24-hour day with the hour numbers shown on the outer dial. The clock also has hour and minute hands with the 12, 9, 6 and 3 o’clock numbers shown on the inner dial.
To set the time, turn the outer dial gradually CLOCKWISE until the correct time of day on the outer dial is aligned with the Permanent Tab on the inner dial (located at the 2 o’clock position).
The hour hand should show the correct hour.
For minute setting, turn the minute hand CLOCKWISE to the exact time of day.

Checking Chlorination Output
The chlorine cell output controller regulates the amount of chlorine production relevant to the position it has been set to. By adjusting the cell output controller clockwise, you increase chlorine production and by turning anti clockwise you reduce production. Do  not attempt to turn the controller beyond its stopping positions as this could cause damage to your unit that is not covered by warranty.

Programming

The time switch is programmed by pushing the Captive Trippers to the outer ring position for the entire time that the pump is to be turned TN”. Trippers function when they are aligned next to the Index Triangle on the inner dial.
Each Tripper controls the pump for 15 minutes. The pump will be “OFF’ for each Tripper pushed to the inside ring. The time of day that each Tripper will control the pump is shown by the hour number and quarter-hour marks next to it on the outer dial. Ensure  that the Permanent Control is pushed down.
To ensure your chlorinator is working correctly, follow the steps below:

• Ensure the cell production is at
• With the unit running take a sample of water from the skimmer box and conduct a chlorine test, note the result.
• Take a sample of water directly in front of the return to the pool outlet and conduct a chlorine test, note the result.
• If the latter is higher in chlorine than the first test, your

Mineral Swim– PRO Series is efficiently producing chlorine (if not please see troubleshooting).

MAINTENANCE

Replacing The Ozone Check Valve
Every 12 months or as required
The Teflon check valve prevents water from returning to the system. Flooded systems (below water level) require a water trap (drain valve) to protect the system in the event that the check valve fails. To replace the check valve simply pull the delivery line off the  check valve at both ends and replace with new check valve.
Ozone Filter Replacement
Regularly (every 3–6 months)
Replace the ozone air filter located under the control unit. To remove the filter turn it anticlockwise, remove the old cotton wool and replace with half a standard cotton wool ball. Only hand tighten the filter when refitting.
Electrode (Cell) Cleaning
Although you have a reverse polarity (automatic cell cleaning) system, it is recommended from time to time that the cell be checked for any accumulation of calcium or other deposits that may have built up. We recommend cleaning the cell once or twice a year  subject to your pool’s application and location.

Water Chemistry (Balancing Information)

Regular water testing must be performed to ensure the water is within the recommended ranges (see below):

Concrete: 7.2–7.6
Total Alkalinity| 80–120ppm
Calcium Hardness| Fibreglass: 175–225ppm
Concrete: 275–325ppm
