Installation and Initialization:

1. Preparation: Start with normal chlorinated water to establish a balanced pH level. Maintain chlorine content around 1.0 ppm using a standard test kit. Adjust chlorine levels as needed for optimal water clarity.

2. Initial Setup: Place the Solar-Powered Floating Ionizer (CFSI) in your pool. Initialization time varies from one to several weeks depending on water volume, weather, and usage patterns. The CFSI operates as a trickle charger, gradually releasing ions with safe and efficient low power output.

3. Monitoring Ion Levels: Utilize the Ion detection kit, as outlined in the instruction manual's "Ion Test" section, to measure ion concentration in the water. Typical readings range from zero to trace amounts (.01 - 0.1 ppm). Follow instructions in the manual's "Ion Test Chapter" for higher ion concentrations.

4. Optimal Placement: For maximum effectiveness, ensure the CFSI floats freely in direct sunlight. Alternatively, tether it to a sunny area of your pool.

5. Operational Tips: When the CFSI begins ionizing, run your pump and filtration system during daylight hours for proper mineral circulation. Nighttime pump operation is optional; the unit can safely remain in the pool overnight.
