show low copper levels after long periods of operating at "full" power.
This is due to copper ions being consumed within the water feature as
they break down organics. If test strips indicate copper levels above
0.25ppm, reduce ionization to one bar until tests results are within the
safe range. A partial water change will also aid in reducing copper
levels.
Maintenance and Inspection:
During normal operation the LED operation light located above the
ionization bars on the control panel will display as solid green. This
indicates that the unit is operating correctly and no maintenance is
required. If the LED operation light displays as flashing green or red,
please refer to the trouble shooting section of the manual and take
corrective measures immediately.
Winterization:
Colder weather will naturally reduce algae growth, which subsequently
reduces the demand for copper ions. It is recommended to shut down
the Triton Ionizer during winter months in colder climates, which will
extend the life of the electrodes during warmer periods when most
needed.
• Unplug the control panel from the electrical outlet. The control panel
is weather proof, but can be removed and stored inside to further
protect it during the winter months.
• If the water feature will be run during freezing temperatures, it is
recommended to remove the copper electrodes from the electrode
housing and replace it with a standard threaded 2" sch40 PVC plug.
Removing the electrodes during winter months will help prevent any
unnecessary corrosion from forming during this period.
• If the water feature will be shut down during the winter months it
is necessary to make sure all water is drained from plumbing line
and electrode housing. If the Triton Ionizer has been installed inside
of an Atlantic Skimmer or Pump Vault according to the Installation
section of this manual, simply loosen the outlet union on the Triton
check valve and allow the water to drain from the plumbing line.
Draining the water will eliminate the potential for damage to the
electrode and electrode housing caused by ice build-up.
