NOTE: It is not unusual to have low, or even no copper

level readings on the test kit, no matter how high the

IonGen System's ionization level setting. This is due to

the copper being used within the water feature. Periodic

copper testing will ensure that the levels are below the

maximum level of .0.25 ppm.

Operating the IonGen System on an existing water

feature with algae present

• Set the IonGen System

to the highest ionization

level possible if there are

significant levels of algae

present in the water feature.

In some water feature

applications you may find

that you are not able to raise

the ionization level to the

higher power setting (levels

7 - 10) (Ex. 13). This is typically due to the water chemistry

of the water feature on the water flow rate across the

IonGen Probe. In most cases, the IonGen System will

still produce sufficient quantity of ions to kill the algae. Be

patient, as it may take several days to a few weeks for

noticeable results to occur. Using the included copper

test kit, test the water over a period of days to ensure that

the copper levels DO NOT rise above .0.25 ppm. The

ionization level can be lowered once the algae levels have

decreased or the copper test kit indicates a maximum

level of .0.25 ppm.

• Pre-existing algae levels, poor water conditions, as well as

the volume of water in the water feature are all factors that

affect the speed at which the IonGen System will achieve

desired results.

• If the level of copper rises above .0.25 ppm, reduce the

IonGen System down to level one or unplug the IonGen

System until the copper levels fall below .0.25 ppm. A

water change can also be conducted if the copper levels

are significantly above .0.25 ppm.

• In the case of a power failure, the IonGen System Control

Panel's internal memory will reset itself to the last setting

before the power failure.

General Maintenance

IonGen Probe Maintenance

• The replaceable IonGen

Probe will typically last one

or more seasons, depending

on the usage, quantity of

water and water chemistry

of the water feature (Ex. 14).

The IonGen System Control

Panel display will read "00"

when the IonGen Probe is

completely exhausted or

there is a fault in the operation of the system.

• It is recommended to visually inspect the bars on the

IonGen Probe from time to time, and replace the IonGen

Probe if the bars are significantly worn.

• The Aquascape IonGen System does contain a built-in,

self-cleaning mechanism that reduces the build-up of

oxidation scale on the bars, but requires sufficient water

flow to work properly. An excessive build-up of scale on

the bars is an indicator that there may not be sufficient

water flow. Significant oxidation scale on the bars will

decrease the distribution of ions being released into the

water, as well as affect the ability to raise and lower the

Control Panel's ionization level. Scale build-up can easily

be brushed or scraped off the bars, immediately improving

IonGen Probe performance. If you notice repeated scale

build-up, you may want to move the IonGen Probe to a

location with higher water flow, such as plumbing it directly

into the main recirculating system.

Ex. 13

• Starting out each year with a new IonGen Probe is

recommended and will significantly boost the performance

of the IonGen System.

Winter Application

• It is recommended to shut down the IonGen

in regions that have climates that experience cold

temperatures. This will prevent elevated copper levels

during the time of the year when there is no algae growth,

and will prolong the life of the IonGen Probe.

• The IonGen System's Control Panel is weather resistant,

but steps to protect it from the elements, such as

mounting the panel above the ground, are recommended

to maximize its lifespan.

• The Flow Chamber, when plumbed directly into the

recirculating system, needs to be located in a region that

will drain for servicing the replacement IonGen Probe, as

well as allowing the Flow Chamber fitting to over-winter.

• If shutting down the water feature during the winter, make

sure the plumbing line is drained free of water. Failure to

do so may cause water remaining in the plumbing line to

freeze, potentially cracking the Flow Chamber and voiding

the warranty.

• Prior to restarting the IonGen System in the spring, it is

a good idea to remove and inspect the IonGen Probe

to ensure it is free of debris and scale build-up, and not

exhausted or worn. Scrape away any scale build-up from

the IonGen Probe's bars. Replace worn IonGen Probes.

See section above the IonGen Probe maintenance for

more information.
