EQUIPMENT RELATED, INSTALLATION AND GENERAL USE

Installation of all EcoClean models

When installin

and usin

the EcoClean unit, basic safety precautions must always be followed,

including the following:

1. Follow all aspects of the local and National Electrical Codes when installing the EcoClean

unit.

2. Durin

installation, mount the EcoClean unit to ensure the least amount of direct exposure to

rain, garden sprinkler water, direct sunlight or any corrosive environment.

3. WARNING - Risk of electrical shock. Plu

the unit into an approved G.F.C.I. electrical outlet

(110VAC ONLY).

4. WARNING - Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction

rates are installed to pre

ent body

and hair entrapment.

5. DANGER - To reduce the risk of drownin

from hair and body entrapment, install suction

fittings with a marked flow rate that equals or exceeds the flow rate on the equipment

assembly.

6. WARNING - Install blower no less than 30cm (1 foot) above the maximum water level to pre-

vent water from contacting electrical equipment.

7. CAUTION - Maintain water chemistry in accordance with values set out on page 5.

8. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar hardware

within 3m (10 feet) of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with

pper conductors not smaller than No. 8 AWG in the U.S.A. and No. 6 AWG in Canada.co

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

110V Models Only

1. WARNING - Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a

roundin

type receptacle protected by

a ground-fault-circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot veri-

fy that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI. The conductors on the load side of the GFCI

shall not occupy conduit boxes or enclosures containing other conductors unless the

additional conductors are also protected by a GFCI.

2. The GFCI must be tested before each use. With the EcoClean unit operatin

push the test

button on the GFCI. The EcoClean unit should stop operating. Push the reset button. The

EcoClean unit should now start to operate normally. If the GFCI fails to operate in this

manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating the possibility of an electrical shock.

Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.

3. WARNING -To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace dama

ed cords immediately.

4. WARNING -To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cords to connect unit

to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.

5. Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hed

e trimmers and

other equipment.

6. Warning – Operating the EcoClean without water flow through the cell can cause a build up

of flammable gases which can result in FIRE or EXPLOSION.

General Use

1. WARNING - To reduce the risk of in

ury do not permit children to use this product unless

they are closely supervised at all times. Children should not use spas or hot tubs without

permanent adult supervision.

2. WARNING - Risk of Accidental Drownin

. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent

unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa

or hot tub.

3. DANGER - To reduce the risk of in

ury, do not remove the suction

rates. Never operate a

spa or hot tub if the suction grates are broken or missing. Never replace a suction grate

with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly.

4. DANGER - Risk of electrical shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a li

ht,

telephone, radio, or television, within 1.5m (5 feet) of spa.

5. To avoid in

ury exercise care when enterin

or exitin

the spa or hot tub.

General: WARNINGS - To reduce the risk of in

ury:

1. People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician

before using a spa or hot tub.

2. People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.

3. The maximum spa water usa

e temperature is 40° C (104° F). Duration in spa water at 40° C

(104° F) should not exceed 15 minutes. Lower water temperatures are recommended for

young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

4. Water temperature in excess of 38°C (100°F) may be dangerous to your health.

5. Pre

nant or possibly pre

nant women should consult a physician before usin

a spa or hot

tub.

6. Since excessive water temperatures have a hi

h potential for causin

fetal dama

e durin

the

1st trimester of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit the spa water

temperatures to 38°C (100°F).

7. Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an

accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating devices varies.

8. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to

unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

9. Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,

circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa/hot

tub.

10. Persons usin

medication should consult a physician before usin

a spa or hot tub since

some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate,

blood pressure, and circulation.

11. Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately followin

strenuous exercise.

12. Prolon

ed immersion in a spa or hot tub may be dan

erous to your health.

Hyperthermia

WARNING -The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot

tubs and spas.

Consult your spa/hot tub manufacturer's manuals for the proper ad

ustment of water tempera-

ture. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when

the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above the normal body

temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). Hyperthermia symptoms include drowsiness, lethargy, and

an increase of internal body temperature.

The effects of hyperthermia include:

1. unawareness of impending hazard

2. failure to perceive heat

3. failure to perceive the need to exit the spa/hot tub

4. physical inability to exit spa

5. fetal damage in pregnant women

6. unconsciousness and danger of drowning

COAST SPAS MANUFACTURING

INC.

NOTE: The EcoClean unit is designed to provide a chlorine/bromine residual whenever the spa IS NOT

in use. With an average residential spa, this “non-use” time represents 95% to 99% of each day.

Supplemental sanitizer/oxidizer should be added before and/or after EACH spa use, to maintain 3-5 ppm

of free available chlorine/bromine.

EcoClean Model C1 Cell: Maximum output equivalent to 15 grams of free available chlorine per

24 hours @max. dial setting of 100%

Reverse Polarity Function:

The Reverse Polarity Function is designed to automatically clean the cell blades, maximizing the

cell's ability to manufacture chlorine or bromine. This feature is only enabled when the AC power

is on and the L.E.D. light displays a solid GREEN color. The unit reverses polarity after the first

hour of run time; then every three hours from that point on.

Automatic Self Cleaning Feature

OUTPUT: 3.5 VDC, 500 mA. (40°C/104°F)

INPUT: 105 – 125 VAC, 50/60 HZ, 0.5 Amp.

System Sizin

for Spas

System Sizing

Use these three formulas to calculate the volume of water in the spa:

Rectangular: Length(M) x Width(M) x Average Depth(M) x1000 = Total Litres

Length(Ft) x Width(Ft) x Average Depth(Ft) x7.5 = Total U.S. Gallons

Round: 3.14 x Radius (M) x Radius (M) x Average Depth (M) x 1000 = Total Litres

3.14 x Radius (Ft) x Radius (Ft) x Average Depth (Ft) x 7.5 = Total U.S. Gallons

Free Form: Average Length (M) x Average Width (M) x Average Depth (M) x 1000 = Total Litres

Average Length (Ft) x Average Width (Ft) x Average Depth (Ft) x 7.5 = Total U.S. Gal.

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

1 . Sanitizer Demand

The rate at which sanitizer is consumed in any spa depends on the relationship of eight major variables.

Since these variables can vary widely from spa to spa and season to season, precise prediction of the

sanitizer

demand

for

any one spa is difficult. At the end of this section, rules of thumb are provided for the

EcoClean System Sizing.

THE VARIABLES ARE:

olume and surface area of the spa being sanitized.

2. Average water temperature maintained: As the temperature of the water increases, the sanitizer

demand

will

also increase. As the temperature of the water decreases, the sanitizer

demand will

also

decrease. When this happens, the output dial should

be decreased to compensate for this lower

demand

(which will also protect your equipment from excessive levels of sanitizers).

3. Cyanuric acid level

maintained: This chemical, when added to your outdoor spa water, significantly

inhibits sanitizer depletion from exposure to sunlight. Cyanuric acid also inhibits corrosion if your spa is

equipped with any metal components. Minimum levels or better must be maintained to ensure that the

sanitizer being produced is protected from UV breakdown.

4. Bather load:

s the bather load increases, the sanitizer

demand

will also increase.

5. Amount of direct sunlight / UV exposure: Spas exposed to larger amounts of direct sunlight are more

vulnerable to increased sanitizer loss and algae growth. Indoor or screened spas have less sanitizer

demand.

6. Exposure to vegetation and airborne debris: Dense landscaping near the spa, along with increased nitrate

levels (urine, bird droppings, fertilizer, well water, etc.) greatly contribute to increased sanitizer demand.

7. Chemical dilution: Virtually all spa chemicals experience dilution through rainfall, adding of fresh

make-up water due to evaporation, splash-out, filter backwashing, leaks, etc. When freshwater is

added, sanitizer

demand

increases for a brief period.

8. Main filter pump runtime and your spa's circulation patterns: Waterfalls/Fountains and other water

features operated by the filter pump can directly effect sanitizer

demand.

The main filter pump runtime

and/or output dial may need to be increased to satisfy this higher

demand.

Section 1 a

2. Sanitizer Production/ System Sizin

/ "Rules of Thumb"

While sanitizer

demand

varies beyond precise prediction, and you may desire a higher or lower

sanitizer residual in your spa, the following "rules of thumb" will assist you in properly selecting

the correct EcoClean feed rate dial setting.

1. An EcoClean power supply with cell , operated at maximum output (100%), at 3000 ppm salt

residual will produce 15 grams of free available chlorine in 24 hours of continuous operation.

This amount of chlorine could satisfy up to 1,500 L (400 U.S. gallons) of spa water,

depending on the 8 demand variables for sanitizer.

NOTE: Residual salt levels must be maintained above 2800 ppm and below 3200 ppm. Do not

exceed 3200 ppm salt residual if you object to salty tasting water!

Normal System Sizing Guide

The sizing criteria below reflects "

normal

" conditions based on field experience and proper

operation. Sanitizing "demand" varies from one spa to another. The chart below

provides approximate feed rate dial settings required to maintain adequate chlorine (3.0 – 5.0

ppm) or bromine residuals (3.0 – 5.0 ppm) during “non-use” periods, based on spa volume.

For proper sanitation, spa must be completely drained periodically. The number of days between

COMPLETE SPA DRAINAGE is equal to the volume of spa water in litres, divided by 10 times the

maximum number of daily spa users. Refill spa with water and repeat the start-up procedure.
