Atlantic Water Gardens TRION2 - Manual (Page 5)

First dry fit the electrode housing within the
waterfall feed line to verify they line up
properly, and then use PVC glue and Cleaner
to make the final connection. (Fig. D)
Operation
The Triton Ionizer must have water flowing
through the electrode housing at all times
when the unit is turned on. During operation,
ions jump from one electrode rod to the other
and are swept away by the flowing water. The
Control panel reverses polarity regularly to
ensure even consumption of the electrodes.
Operating the Ionizer without a strong flow of
water across the electrodes will allow the ions
to simply jump across to the opposite electrode
instead of being carried into the water feature.
This “short-circuiting” of the distribution of ions
results in excessive corrosion of the electrodes
and insufficient treatment of the water. Turn
power off to the Ionizer any time that power to
the pump is turned off. The control panel will
return to the previous level of ionization when
power is restored.
• Turn on the pump and plug in the
outdoor transformer.
• Program the level of ionization. To enter
the program mode, depress and hold the
+ or – button on the front of the control
panel for 3 seconds or until the number
display begins flashing. Use the + and –
buttons to raise and lower the level of
ionization. The control panel will exit the
program mode automatically once
adjustments are complete.
• Monitor copper levels using the supplied
test strips over a period of days. Once
copper levels are elevated between 0.2
and 0.3ppm, lower the level of ionization
to level 1 or 2 on the control panel.
• Test water weekly to ensure that copper
readings are at the correct level. If needed,
the level of ionization can be adjusted using
the + and – buttons on the control panel.
• Once desired water clarity is achieved,
operating the Triton Ionizer at minimum
levels and adjusting based on the conditions
of the water feature will help prolong the
life of the electrodes.
