3.1. Start-up procedure
Use of a water softener is mandatory with Poolsquad IPO devices in order to prevent any premature damage to
the electrolysis cells. Use of naturally sourced water (rain, runoff, lake, well) may harm the performances of
your apparatus and damage it. In the case of a fault in the water softener (supplying unsoftened water in the
electrolyser), the apparatus must be checked by removing the cell to verify that there are no limescale deposits
on the bottom and remove the salt sensor to verify there is no limescale on the electrodes.
1) Pour granulated salt into the brine tank (the granules must comply with standard without a flow agent and
without an anti-caking agent).
2) When using your own water softener, go directly to step 7. When using a water softener supplied as an option
with your equipment, set up the softener by following the instructions provided with it. Note: The hardness
leakage must be set at the minimum. To do this, turn the screw anticlockwise until it stops (do not force it); the
hardness leakage will then be the lowest.
3)
4) Programme the softener regeneration (for a system running 12 hours/day, it is recommended a regeneration be
performed every 4 days of use).
5) Perform an immediate regeneration of the softener.
6) Ensure that the water hardness obtained at the softener outlet is less that 12°f (120 ppm).
7) Connect the softener to the Poolsquad IPO.
8) Wait until the brine tank fills.
9) Allow the salt to dissolve for 1 hour.
