Maintenance And Inspection - Atlantic Triton TRION2 Manual De Operación

The level of ionization can be adjusted on a scale from 1 to 10 in the program mode.
However, if the water does not contain sufficient mineral content for proper conductivity
the control panel will automatically lower the level of ionization to match the level of
conductivity in the water.
Example: The level of ionization is set at '10' in the program mode, however, upon exiting
the program mode the display changes from '10' to '7'. This is because the mineral level
of the water (conductivity) can only support an ionization level of 7. Conductivity can be
increased by adding sea salt to the system at a rate of 1 cup per hundred gallons.
Note: Water volume, total alkalinity and the amount of debris in a pond are all factors that may
affect how quickly copper levels are elevated. Please note that it may take several weeks of
operation for copper levels to become detectable. It is not unusual for the test strips to 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 0.3ppm, reduce ionization to '01' or unplug the control panel 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 power indicator on the control panel will illuminate as a
solid blue color and the ionization indicator will illuminate as solid green. This indicates
that the unit is operating correctly and no maintenance is required. If either indicator light
is flashing, please refer to the trouble shooting section of the manual to identify the cause
and corresponding corrective measure.
Note: Whether the control panel indicates a malfunction or not, it is recommended to
periodically remove the electrodes and inspect for corrosion and debris build-up.
Removing the corrosion or debris will help extend the life of the electrodes. Remove
corrosion with steel wool or fine sandpaper.
Winterization
Colder weather will naturally reduce organic growth, which subsequently reduces the demand
for copper ions. It is recommended to shut down the Triton Ionizer during winter months to
extend the life of the electrodes during warmer periods when most needed. The control panel
is weather proof, but can be removed and stored inside to further protect it during the winter.
Installed with TR215CV:
• If the water feature will be shut down during winter months, it is recommended to
remove the Triton Ionizer along with the pump and check valve. Turn the pump off.
Loosen the outlet fitting on the Triton Ionizer and remove the entire pump assembly.
Clean and thoroughly dry components, then store indoors.
• If the water feature will run during winter months, it is recommended to remove the
Triton Ionizer. Turn the pump off. Loosen the union fittings on both sides of the
electrode housing and remove. Attach the male end of the check valve to the union
fitting on the waterfall feed line. Turn on pump.
In-Line Installation:
• If the water feature will be shut down during winter, it is recommended to remove and store
the Triton Ionizer. Turn the pump off and loosen the factory union fitting on the waterfall
side of the electrode housing and the customer supplied union on the other. Remove the
electrode housing, drain and store. If desired, the unit may be left in place with the unions
open, as long as care is taken to prevent water from accumulating in the Ionizer housing.
