BLUE LAGOON UV C COPPER IONIZER 40,000

HOW IT WORKS

EN
The Blue Lagoon UV-C Copper Ionizer treats your swimming pool water through a combination
of copper electrolysis and UV-C radiation. The Blue Lagoon UV-C Copper Ionizer is placed in the
pipe system after the swimming pool filter. The swimming pool water flows through the housing
of the Blue Lagoon UV-C Copper Ionizer. The housing contains a UV-C lamp and a copper unit.
The copper electrode continuously releases copper ions into the water that flows through the
housing. The positively charged copper ions (Cu2+) are attracted to the negatively charged cell wall
of micro-organisms. Once a bond has been established with copper ions, the permeability of the
cell wall is severely disrupted; the organism no longer absorbs nutrients and dies. The process by
which positively charged copper ions are released is called copper electrolysis or copper ionization.
Copper ions remain active until they are absorbed by a cell wall. Therefore the copper remains
effective for a long time, even when the filter is not operating. The UV-C lamp located in the Blue
Lagoon UV-C Copper Ionizer produces UV-C radiation. This radiation, with a wavelength of 254 nm,
damages the DNA of micro-organisms, killing them. The reactor is designed in such a way that the
water is optimally exposed to the UV-C radiation. The 316L stainless steel reactor provides additional
reflection of the UV-C radiation, increasing the efficiency to 35%. With a good water balance, the
combination of UV-C and copper ionization makes it possible to greatly reduce the use of chlorine.
With the Blue Lagoon UV-C Copper Ionizer your water will be treated efficiently and safely, so you
will maintain excellent water quality.
USE
The UV-C lamp will light up as soon as the lead is plugged into a wall socket. It takes some time
before the Ionizer builds up an optimal level of copper ions (i.e. between 0.4 and 0.7 ppm). After
about a week the copper level will be high enough to measure with the copper test strips. The
test strip shows whether the copper content is too high or too low. You switch on the Ionizer by
pressing the '+' button on the display (V) (see figures 2 & 9). The display shows the level of copper
emission in red. This is a number from '0' to '99'. When you set the Ionizer to '00', the Ionizer is off
and no more copper is released. How high you should initially set the display depends on the size
of your pool and the result of your first water test, as indicated by the test strip. If the first test shows
that the copper content is too low or too high, you increase or decrease the copper emission with
the '+' and '-' buttons respectively. Repeat the measurement after a week and adjust the Ionizer if
necessary. If the copper content is too high, reduce the setting to '00' with the '-' button so that
no more copper is released into the water. When you test the water again a week later, the result
shown on the test strip tells you whether it is time to switch on the Ionizer again. By repeatedly
testing and adjusting the setting higher or lower you will ultimately achieve the right copper
balance in your pool.
Every 14 days the Ionizer switches off automatically. You will see that the numbers on the display
are no longer lit. The UV-C lamp will remain on as long as the device is supplied with power. When
the Ionizer switches off, you should test the water with the enclosed test strips. You can switch the
device on again with the '+' button. The level set on the display before it automatically switched
off is now shown on the display again. After switching on the Ionizer you can no longer turn off
