Congratulations on your purchase of the Steritron Water Steriliser. Steritron incorporates the latest digital technology, making it one of the most user-friendly and high-performance water sterilisation systems available in the market today.

Steritron systems use ionisation technology, a long-established scientific process,harnessed by NASA in the 1960s for its space program, and commercially applied in numerous locations throughout the world in the last 50 years.

Ionisation is highly-effective for controlling the growth of water-borne micro-organisms. Worldwide, it is used in swimming pools, spas, fountains, water features, water tanks, bores, air-conditioning cooling towers and sewage treatment systems.

Steritron is proudly designed and manufactured in Australia.

Step 1Steritron System Installation 1. Turn off power.

2. Turn off all valves on any existing pool filter and pumps before attempting to fit the anode weir, to prevent any loss of pool water.

3. Equipment required: PVC pressure glue (green in colour) and primer; A fine-tooth saw; Tape measure; Screw driver; Drill. 4. The Steritron weir must be fitted to the return-to-pool pipe AFTER the filter. Refer Page 4. (Figure 4) 5. Saltwater chlorinators fitted on existing pools may be fully removed, or alternatively, remove the old chlorinator cell from the body and fit an end cap; and turn the power off to the cell.

6. Ensure that the anode weir is fitted horizontally with the anode weir connection at the top of it.

7. To maximize contact time with the anodes, ensure that the water enters the return pipe after the filter at the lower inlet of the anode weir and exits at the higher end.

8. The anodes must be at a 45-degree angle to the water flow, and are not either directly inline, or directly across the flow path within the weir. This ensures maximum contact time with the anodes. Refer Page 6. (Figure 8)

9. Schematic diagram of installation procedure is available on Page 6. (Figure 7)

Step 2For new and existing pools, conduct the following tests:

Balance the water to these levels:

This will ensure the optimum performance of the Steritron system.

Control Panel Installation

Remote Internal Alarm Panel

1. Choose an appropriate weather-proof position and ensure the LCD is out of direct sunlight to avoid damage (which would void our product warranty), and affix to wall with wall plugs/screws.

2. NOTE: The control panel has to be within reach of a power outlet and the anode wires are able to be connected to the anodes on the top of the weir.

3. Once the control panel is fitted in the correct position, connect the wires to the anodes (it does not matter which wire goes on a particular anode).

4. Now plug the pool pump into the power socket at the control panel and plug the power cable from the Steritron unit into a power point.

1. Position internal alarm panel in a convenient and clearly visible location, so that it is both visible and audible in the event of a malfunction.

2. The alarm panel must be positioned within 100 metres of the external control panel.

3. On completion of installation, activate the batteries by moving the link near the terminal block to the ON position.

4. The power alarm will sound if the control unit is not connected or power supply to the control unit is absent.

1. If the pool water becomes cloudy, it is generally an indication that the water is

hardness, or a dirty pool filter.

2. Test water for the above indicators and adjust if necessary; clean the pool filter.

3. Optimum readings:

Total alkalinity: 80-120ppm for plaster-finished and tiled pools, 120-150ppm for vinyl, painted or fibreglass pools Calcium hardness: 150-250ppm

For remedial measures, please refer to procedures outlined in your pool test kit.

WEEKLY TESTING PROCEDURES A few minutes each week spent on testing the pool water will ensure clean and

range of 7.2. – 7.5, and copper levels are between 0.5-0.7ppm.

1. Total alkalinity 80-120ppm. 2. Phosphates (encourages algae growth) 100-300ppm.

4. Check anodes for wear (this should not be necessary for two years).

Step 4Press Menu key once to display the “Anodes On Anodes Off” screen. (Anodes should be currently in the OFF position.)Note: Anodes must remain in the OFF position until settings for Auto Time On and Off, time or day adjustment have been completed. To reset Steritron at any time, the anodes must be turned to the OFF position.Press UP arrow to activate anodes. Press Menu to display POWER 1 INC DEC which will oscillate to POWER 2 INC DEC.

The anodes are made of a copper/silver mineral combination and are ‘sacrificial’, i.e. they are designed to slowly wear away as they contribute mineral ions to the pool water. In an average domestic pool, they should last for 2-3 years as the wear depends on the volume of water passing through and the contact time.

When the anodes need replacing, the fault light on the control panel will light up. When this happens, you may extend their life by reducing the current output till the light goes

for the reduced current. If the anodes‘ diameter wears to 10mm in any part, they will have to be replaced. You may replace them yourself, but ensure that the anode cap is screwed on correctly so that the O-Ring is not damaged, as this will cause a water leak. Check that the anodes are positioned correctly. (Refer anode layout on page 6, figure 8) Anodes can be purchased from your local distributor or directly from the factory. Check our website for details.

4. If the fault light flashes, check the following: There is power to the unit. There is water flowing through the anode weir. Once you have ruled out the above, contact the manufacturer for service.

Trouble-Shooting Guide cont’d

WarrantyYour unit has a three-year parts and labour limited warranty, (which excludes consumables such as the sacrificial anodes). The warranty is not an onsite warranty. The unit must be returned to the factory at your expense, and it will either be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s discretion.

Be aware – the following may void your warranty: 1. The system must be installed and operated in accordance with the owner’s manual. 2. The control panel should only be opened by factory-trained personnel. 3. If the control panel is installed in direct sunlight, causing damage to the LCD, and/or installed in a non-weather proof environment. 4. Operating more than one pump at a time from the control panel.
