INSTALLATION

Important prior precautions

Before installing the equipment, follow the instructions below: \

• The Poolsquad iPO production must be adapted to the volume of the pool to be treated, the use of the pool, the presence of any neighboring equipment (infinity edge, reflecting pool, slide, etc.), as well as the weather conditions at the installation site.
• Use water from a softener connected to the mains water network. Prohibit the use of any naturally sourced water (rain, run off, lake, well), at the risk of prematurely damaging the electrolysis cells and the water softener.
• The iPO must be installed in a closed, dry and sufficiently ventilated room, out of reach of from splashes and water projection, and away from UV radiation. The ambient temperature inside this room must not exceed 45°C.

If this room is in a country with a hot and damp climate, it must be air- conditioned.
It this room is in a country with a temperate climate, it must have mechanical ventilation.

• Determine a specific location to install the system, taking its size into account. Also provide for an additional space around the installation, in order to make access to this easier for maintenance operations.  The apparatus must be installed level, on a flat floor and on a stable surface.

• The pH corrector container must be kept 2 metres away from any electrical device or any other chemicals. In order for acid fumes to be expelled outside the pool house, a venting system must be placed on the pH corrector hermetic cap,Failure to follow these instructions may lead to abnormal oxidation of parts possibly resulting in complete device failure. Personal protective equipment (glasses with side protection, suitable gloves refer to product sefty data sheet must be wron whenever to handle the ph  corrector or  the injection circuit.

• The salts authorized with our devices must be stamped according to one of these 4 Standards (EN 14805, EN 16370, EN 16401 or EN 973), otherwise, the warranty will be canceled and evacuated.

• If the pool house is served by gravity-fed drains (for example: a semi-underground or underground room), an evacuation system with a lifting pump must be installed.

• Ensure that all the equipment’s drain-offs (water softener, overflow) are watertight, correctly connected, and evacuated.

• If the pool house is served by gravity-fed drains (for example: a semi-underground or underground room), an evacuation system with a lifting pump must be installed.

It is imperative that this lifting pump:

• * has a minimum flow 2 times greater than the maximum water flow of the network.

  • be cabled to an electrical supply independent of that for the equipment (in order to maintain pump operation in the event the electricity supply to the equipment is cut off or disconnected).
    For a water softener, ensure that the electrical transformer supplied with the softener is out of reach of splashes and any contact with the water.

Installation diagram

• The pH corrector container must be kept 2 metres away from any electrical device or any other chemicals.
• In order for acid fumes to be expelled outside the pool house, a venting system must be placed on the pH corrector’s hermetic cap. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to abnormal oxidation of metal parts, possibly resulting in complete device failure. Personal protective equipment (glasses with side protection, suitable gloves, refer to the product’s safety data sheet) must be worn whenever handling the pH corrector or the injection circuit.
• Never use hydrochloric acid, as this may lead to irreversible damage to the device and void the warranty.
• Only use a sulphuric acid- or alkali-based pH corrector product recommended by your professional dealer.
• Please note that use of a multi-acid pH corrector requires increased maintenance, and its use may also lead to premature wear of the pH circuit and void the warranty. Refer to the product’s safety data sheet.

ELECTRONIC UNIT

Start-up procedure

Use of a water softener is mandatory with Poolsquad IPO devices in order to prevent any premature damage to the electrolysis cells. Use of naturally sourced water (rain, runoff, lake, well) may harm the performance of your apparatus and damage it. In the case of a fault in the water softener (supplying unsoftened water in the electrolyzer), the apparatus must be checked by removing the cell to verify that there are no limescale deposits on the bottom and remove the salt sensor to verify there is no limescale on the electrodes.

1. Pour granulated salt into the brine tank (the granules must comply with the standard without a flow agent and without an anti-caking agent).
2. When using your own water softener, go directly to step 7. When using a water softener supplied as an option with your equipment, set up the softener by following the instructions provided with it. Note: The hardness leakage must be set at the minimum. To do this, turn the screw anticlockwise until it stops (do not force it); the hardness leakage will then be the lowest.
3. Open the softener’s water inlet.
4. Program the softener regeneration (for a system running 12 hours/day, it is recommended a regeneration be performed every 4 days of use).
5. Perform an immediate regeneration of the softener.
6. Ensure that the water hardness obtained at the softener outlet is less than 12°f (120 ppm).
7. Connect the softener to the Poolsquad IPO.
8. Wait until the brine tank fills.
9. Allow the salt to dissolve for 1 hour.

First commissioning

When first powering on the electronic unit:

1.  Carry out the programming below.9) Allow the salt to dissolve for 1 hour

Adjusting the pool water temperature

If the temperature sensor is deactivated, the following menu will not appear.

Setting the inversion of the current powering the cell

The aim of the current inversion is to prevent limescale being deposited on the cell. The inversion frequency must be correctly set following the table below in order to ensure that the cell continues to operate correctly over the long term.

Boost mode

The Boost mode:

• allows for meeting a need for chlorine.
• sets the production setpoint up to 100%, for a fixed period.
• can be stopped manually at any time.

Boost mode cannot substitute for a classic shock treatment in the event water is unsuitable for bathing.
It is impossible to start the Boost mode if:

• An alarm has been activated. (After having resolved and dismissed this alarm, wait a few moments in order to be able to activate the Boost mode.)
• The operating mode of the electrolytic cell is set to “OFF”.

If the Boost mode is restarted manually while it is already running, the Boost mode resets for the duration displayed.
Boost mode continues after powering off the electronics unit. When the Boost mode is manually terminated or stopped, production continues according to the initial setpoint.

Operation with a cover sensor:

It is impossible to start Boost mode when the cover is closed.
If the cover closes with Boost mode activated, Boost mode stops instantly.

Data history

Additional information

MAINTENANCE

• The lifespan of the electrolysis cells is very closely linked to compliance with the settings and instructions indicated in this manual.
• The replacement of cells at the end of their life with so-called ‘compatible’ cells may lead to a decrease in production and reduce the life of the equipment. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you only use so-called original cells.
• Any deterioration due to use of so-called compatible cells cancels the contractual warranty.

Maintenance tips (monthly)

Water softener

Check the water hardness (TH) at the softener outlet using a suitable test kit (not supplied): the TH must be below 12°f.

Electrodes

When the equipment is stopped, there must not be any whiteish deposits on the electrodes. Check the condition of the terminals, pins and power cables.
