properly grounded GFCI outlet, and that the outlet
cord can reach the electrodes. Connect the outlet
cord to the electrodes and the power cord to the
supplied 12 volt AC transformer using the
quick-connect attachments. (Figure 4)
Inline Installation:
The triton Ionizer can be easily retrofitted to any
existing water feature with a PVC, flexible PVC or
kink-free tubing feed line. If the Ionizer is installed
outside the pump vault or skimmer, an irrigation
valve box should be used to provide access for
routine maintenance.
If the Ionizer is to be installed in a PVC feed line, the
use of a 2" union or rubber coupling on the spigot
end of the electrode housing is recommended. This
will allow the electrode housing to be fully removed
for inspection, winterization or replacement without
further alterations to the plumbing. PVC reducing
fittings (not included) can be used for connection to
PVC feed lines smaller than 2" in diameter.
For Installation in PVC feed lines greater than 2"
diameter, the use of a plumbing bypass is
recommended. Utilizing this plumbing configuration
allows some of the water flow to be diverted through
the electrode housing without causing additional
backpressure to the pump. (Figure 5)
Insert step fittings for connection to 1", 1 ¼" or
1 ½" kink-free tubing are supplied with the Triton
Ionizer. Attach the step fittings to the electrode
housing using PVC glue and cleaner to make
the connection. Install the ionizer and secure
the tubing with stainless steel hose clamps
(not included). If using 1¼" or 1½" tubing, the
insert fitting will need to be trimmed to provide
the proper outlet diameter for maximum water
flow. Use a hacksaw or PVC saw to cut off
smaller, unneeded inset steps at the cut lines
indicated below. (Figure 6)
Operation
The Triton Ionizer must have water flowing through the electrode housing at all times when
the unit is turned on. During operation, ions jump from one electrode rod to the other and
are swept away by the flowing water. The Control Panel reverses polarity
regularly to ensure even consumption of the electrodes.
Operating the Ionizer without a strong flow of water across the electrodes will allow the
ions to simply jump across to the opposite electrode instead of being carried into the water
feature. This "short-circuiting" of the distribution of ions results in excessive corrosion of the
electrodes and insufficient treatment of the water. Turn power off to the Ionizer any time
that power to the pump is turned off. The control panel will return to the previous level of
ionization when power is restored.
