• Total Alkalinity 80-120ppm
Note: Copper becomes less effective the higher the Alkalinity. If the Alkalinity is
over 200ppm, the copper ions will remain in a dormant state.
Warning: Copper ions can be toxic to fish if the alkalinity is below 50ppm
• pH 7.2-7.8
Note: pH can be affected by heavy loads of debris composition
Warning: Copper ions can become toxic when pH is below 6.8
Under ideal water conditions, set at level 10, it will take 7 days to bring copper levels
up to the effective mineralization level of between 0.1 and 0.3 parts per million (ppm) for
every 2500 gallons of water. Larger volumes or poorly circulated water features will require
additional time to reach an effective mineralization level. For example, a water feature with
7,500 gallons of water will take approximately 21 days to reach an effective mineralization
level between 0.1 and 0.3ppm. Natural bacteria and algae treatments should be added to
control organics until the copper ions reach effective levels. Bacterial treatments for sludge
control should be used on a regular basis in
conjunction with the Triton Ionizer.
Installation
TRION3 with Triton TR215CV Check Valve:
Install the TR215CV Triton Check Valve at the
appropriate discharge height by following the
instructions included with the product. Install
the union nut and 2" outlet fitting in accordance
to the Triton Check Valve instructions.
Attach the 2" outlet fitting on the Triton Check
Valve to the 2" spigot end of the electrode
chamber using PVC glue and cleaner to make
the connection. The Triton Ionizer can operate
with the electrodes facing in a vertical (up or down)
or horizontal direction and can be adjusted at any
time by loosening the union nut, twisting the
electrode chamber and re-tightening the
union nut. (Fig. 1)
Attach the waterfall feed line to the 2" outlet of
the Triton Ionizer. If the waterfall feed line is 1½"
or smaller, replace the 2" outlet fitting on the
Triton Ionizer with the 1½" outlet fitting included
with the Triton Check Valve. Use PVC glue and
cleaner to make the connection.
Install the electrodes into the electrode chamber.
The electrode body has a double O-ring to ensure
a watertight seal. Please inspect the electrodes
before installation to verify that both O-rings are
in place. (Fig. 2)
Align the arrow on the top of the electrodes with
the "align" arrow on the electrode housing. Push
downward on the electrodes and turn in the "close"
or clockwise direction until the next arrows align or
the electrode arrow points directly down the center
line of the Ionizer outlet. (Fig. 3)
