• Hand thread the selected
fitting into the Flow
Chamber. (Do not use tools
to install the fittings into
the Flow Chamber. Fittings
need to be hand-tight only.)
• Hand-tighten the Probe
collar into position.
INSTALLATION OPTION B:
Probe Only, No Flow Chamber Installed
The Probe can also be submerged in a filter with a sufficient flow
of water, such as in a skimmer or Pondless ® Waterfall Vault. The
Probe must be completely submerged, and have sufficient water
flow, in order to function properly. Failure to provide sufficient
water flow across Probe will affect the IonGen’s ™ performance.
See troubleshooting Table for more information.
oPerating instructions
• Before using the IonGen ™ , please note the following:
– If the total alkalinity of the water is less than 100 ppm,
you’ll need to increase the level of alkalinity.
– If the total alkalinity of the water is above 250 ppm you
will need to decrease the level of alkalinity. If alkalinity
is more than 250 ppm it can be typically reduced by
conducting a partial water change. Check to make sure
your tap water is within the target water parameters.
– Alkalinity (not hardness) can be determined using the pH/
Total Alkalinity Test Kit sold separately (part #98953).
Alkalinity levels outside of the recommended parameters
will significantly reduce and possibly eliminate the
effectiveness of the IonGen ™ . See targeted Water
Parameters section for more information.
• If using a diameter pipe larger than the smaller hose tails, cut
off the hose tails not being used with a hack saw in order to
maximize the water flow through the plumbing.
• When using the Barbed
Multi-Hose Fitting, use a
metal hose clamp to secure
pipe to fitting.
• When using PVC, glue pipe into Slip Fitting using PVC glue
(not included). Follow the glue manufacturer’s directions for
proper plumbing steps.
• Install the Probe into the top of Flow Chamber.
• Insert Probe cord through
the Probe collar.
• Plug the connector from the
Control Panel into the Probe
fitting connector.
