A Power Ionizer is a trouble free sanitizer system that discharges copper and silver ions into your swimming water killing bacteria, algae, and viruses. The Power Ionizer is very effective and safe.
The Power Ionizer is a water sanitizer, which installs in minutes, is weather-resistant and will eliminate high levels of expensive pool chemicals.
The Power Ionizer allows for more time swimming with your family with less time on pool maintenance! All you have to do is oxidize / shock your water once a week and occasionally test your pool water! That’s it!
The Power Ionizer uses a low DC voltage current to scatter positively charged copper and silver ions into the water. Given that bacteria is negatively charged, these particles are drawn to the ions and are killed as the charge penetrates the cell walls. The destroyed microorganisms bundle together and are easily filtered.
Releases a precise quantity of copper and silver ions into your pool water to kill algae, bacteria and viruses. Natural mineral disinfectants are safe to you, your family and our environment.
Start Up for The Power Ionizer
- Install on the return side of the filter, any direction, (no flow switch). The Power Ionizer utilizes unique water flow vibration technology.
- Turn system control knob between 3 and 4 to start, be sure green “Active” light is on when the pump is running.
- Add salt (40lbs) one time only, in order to achieve a natural mineral (copper) level between .3 and .5. This usually takes 1-3 days.
Water Testing for Power Ionizer Start Up
- PH level between 7.2 – 7.8ppm.
- Alkalinity level between 80 – 250ppm.
- Natural copper level between .3 – .5ppm.
Maintenance for Power Ionizer
- Weekly water test, balance all levels, including natural minerals (copper).
- Use the control knob to increase or decrease the amount of copper to within the ideal range of .3 – .5ppm.
- Note: If the control knob is turned to Maximum it may shut down and illuminate the red “Chamber” light, simply turn the control knob down until the red light goes off and the green active light is illuminated.
- The green “Active” will be illuminated when the pump is on. This will give you the most accurate temperature reading as well as indicate your Power Ionizer is functioning properly.
- Add 1 bag of pool shock every 2 weeks. Do not test for or maintain a chlorine residual.
- To winterize, use your standard winterizing process, remove and store the Power Ionizer in a cool dry place.
- The power ionizer replacement chamber needs to be replaced every season.
- Chamber replacement is indicated by the red “Chamber” light illuminating.
What is the digital display for on the ionizer?
The digital display on the Power Ionizer displays your pools water temperature. It is an additional feature added to the Power Ionizer.
When opening up my above ground pool, which has an ionizer, for the season, do I need to add the 40lbs of salt? And is this done every season?
No, you only need to add 40 lbs. of salt upon start up with new water. You will only need to add salt if you change the water in the pool.
I have a intex ionizer and it is always blinking low salt I just refilled my pool and put 8 bags of pool salt in what can I do so it works
Salt can take a while to dissolve. It may have settled to the bottom of your pool. Use a brush or a pool vacuum to help dissolve the salt. Also use a salt test kit to make sure you have the correct salt level. Here is a link for Salt Test Kits: https://www.thepoolfactory.com/pool-supplies/pool-chemicals/test-kits/salt-test-kits
Will the power ionizer work correctly if installed vertically? Thanks.
Hi Karrie,
Yes, it can work in a vertical or horizontal position.
I have a sand filter do I add salt to it and where should it be add at
Salt should be added directly to your pool by broadcasting it across the surface and using a brush or a vacuum to make sure it dissolves. Salt raises the TDS (total dissolved solids) level in your pool to help the Power Ionizer work better. One bag or 40lbs is sufficient for most above ground pools using the Power Ionizer.
What is the best way to winterize a pool using this ionizer system? Thanks.
Hi Justin,
Here are instructions for closing your swimming pool. The Power Ionizer should be treated like all pool equipment such as filters heaters, etc. and needs to be drained and stored in a warm dry place for the winter if possible.
If you have a sand filter, you still need the salt or just bleach.
My pool is still turning green every other day, How do I know that my sanitation is working properly, could my levels be off…and what should my salt reading be on a test strip for a 24 ft above ground pool? My pool place always tries to sell me 6 bgs of salt…I just don’t understand.
I recently replaced my chamber on my power ionizer. The pool has since turned green and cloudy. The green light is on the display but blinks every 5 or 10 seconds. How can I know if the new chamber is working properly?
Upon advice from a pool specialist who has very little experience with ionizers I added ph and alkaline plus to the pool water which immediately turned blue. The white skimmer is blue, my kids look like smurfs and the cartridge filter which I am cleaning every day has a blue/green substance embedded within the folds. The ph and alkalinity is fine and the copper is 3.3 but the setting is at the lowest. Any ideas
I am going to start my ionizer for the 1st time, I am going to add salt what other products I need? I would prefer if possible non chemicals. I have non chlorine shock
I am a 1st time pool owner so any help will be great.
Thanks Diana
I have an AGP 24′ X 52″
What happens if you run your ionizer higher than 3-5? Can you use the up or down numbers to correct problem?
This is the third season for my pool. I was never told to add the salt. Should I do that now or is it too late?
