• Hand thread the selected
fitting into the Flow
Chamber. (Do not use tools
to install the fittings into
the Flow Chamber. Fittings
need to be hand-tight only.)
• Hand-tighten the IonGen ™
Probe collar into position.
INSTALLATION OPTION B:
IonGen ™ Probe Only, No Flow Chamber Installed
The IonGen ™ Probe can also be submerged in a filter with
a sufficient flow of water, such as in a skimmer or Pondless ®
Waterfall Vault. The IonGen ™ Probe must be completely
submerged, and have sufficient water flow, in order to function
properly. Failure to provide sufficient water flow across IonGen ™
Probe will affect the IonGen ™ System’s performance.
See troubleshooting table for more information.
oPerating instructions
• before using the IonGen ™ System, please note the following:
– If the total alkalinity of the water is less than 100 ppm, you’ll
need to increase the level of alkalinity. Do not operate the
IonGen ™ System on water features with fish if the alkalinity
levels are below 100 ppm.
– If the total alkalinity of the water is above 250 ppm you will
need to decrease the level of alkalinity. If alkalinity is more
than 250 ppm it can be typically reduced by conducting a
partial water change. Check to make sure your tap water is
within the target water parameters.
– Alkalinity (not hardness) can be determined using the KH/
Alkalinity Test Kit sold separately (part #96019). Alkalinity
levels outside of the recommended parameters will
significantly reduce and possibly eliminate the effectiveness
of the IonGen ™ System to control the algae. See targeted
Water Parameters section for more information.
• If using a diameter pipe larger than the smaller hose tails,
cut off the hose tails not being used with a hack saw in
order to maximize the water flow through the plumbing.
• When using the barbed
Multi-Hose Fitting, use a
metal hose clamp to secure
pipe to fitting.
• When using PVC, glue pipe into Slip Fitting using PVC glue
(not included). Follow the glue manufacturer’s directions for
proper plumbing steps.
• Install the IonGen ™ Probe into the top of Flow Chamber.
• Insert IonGen ™ Probe
cord through the IonGen ™
Probe collar.
• Plug the connector from
the Control Panel into
the IonGen ™ Probe
fitting connector.
