Water Parameters for Optimal Performance:
The Triton Ionizer works best when the water feature parameters remain within the
limits listed below. The water feature's water parameters can change during the season,
especially in features that experience excessive evaporation and require significant water
to be added. Many times a simple water change can help reset the water feature's water
parameters.
• Total Alkalinity 80-120ppm
Note: Copper becomes less effective the higher the Alkalinity. If the Alkalinity is
over 200ppm, the copper ions will remain in a dormant state.
Warning: Copper ions can be toxic to fish if the alkalinity is below 50ppm
• pH 7.2-7.8
Note: pH can be affected by heavy loads of debris composition
Warning: Copper ions can become toxic when pH is below 6.8
Under ideal water conditions it will take 7 days / 2500 gallons of water for the copper
ions to reach effective mineralization levels. Natural bacteria and algae treatments can be
added to control organics until the copper ions reach effective levels. Bacterial treatments
for sludge control should be used on a regular basis in conjunction with the Triton Ionizer.
Installation
If the Triton Ionizer will be installed in conjunction with a Triton Check Valve in a new
water feature, please refer to the Installation with TR215CV instructions below. If the
Triton Ionizer will be installed in an existing water feature, please refer to the Installation
in existing system instructions below.
Installation with TR215CV:
Install the TR215CV Triton Check Valve at the
appropriate discharge height by following the
instructions included with the product. Install the
union nut and 2" outlet fitting in accordance to
the Triton Check Valve instructions. (Fig. 1)
Attach the 2" outlet fitting on the Triton Check
Valve to the 2" spigot end of the electrode
chamber using PVC glue and cleaner to make
the connection. The Triton Ionizer can operate
with the electrodes facing in a vertical (up or
down) or horizontal direction and can be
adjusted at any time by loosening the union
nut, twisting the electrode chamber and
re-tightening the union nut. (Fig. 2)
Attach the waterfall feed line to the 2" outlet
of the Triton Ionizer. If the waterfall feed line
is 1½" or smaller, replace the 2" outlet fitting
on the Triton Ionizer with the 1½" outlet fitting
included with the Triton Check Valve. Use PVC
glue and cleaner to make the connection.
