Mount the control panel in the desired location.
The control panel is weatherproof, but should be
mounted above the ground on a wall or post.
Ensure that the power cord is within reach of a
properly grounded GFCI outlet, and that the outlet
cord can reach the electrodes. Connect the outlet
cord to the electrodes and the power cord to the
supplied 12 volt AC transformer using the
quick-connect attachments. (Fig. 4)
Inline Installation:
The triton Ionizer can be easily retrofitted to any
existing water feature with a PVC, flexible PVC or
kink-free tubing feed line. If the Ionizer is installed
outside the pump vault or skimmer, an irrigation
valve box should be used to provide access for
routine maintenance.
If the Ionizer is to be installed in a PVC feed line, the
use of a 2" union or rubber coupling on the spigot
end of the electrode housing is recommended. This
will allow the electrode housing to be fully removed
for inspection, winterization or replacement without
further alterations to the plumbing. PVC reducing
fittings (not included) can be used for connection to
PVC feed lines smaller than 2" in diameter.
For Installation in PVC feed lines greater than 2" diameter,
the use of a plumbing bypass is recommended. Utilizing
this plumbing configuration allows some of the water flow
to be diverted through the electrode housing without
causing additional backpressure to the pump. (Fig. 5)
Insert step fittings for connection to 1", 1 ¼" or 1 ½"
kink-free tubing are supplied with the Triton Ionizer.
Attach the step fittings to the electrode housing using PVC glue and cleaner to make the
connection. Install the ionizer and secure the tubing with stainless steel hose clamps (not
included). If using 1¼" or 1½" tubing, the insert fitting will need to be trimmed to provide
the proper outlet diameter for maximum water flow. Use a hacksaw or PVC saw to cut off
smaller, unneeded inset steps at the cut lines indicated below. (Fig. 6)

Operation
The Triton Ionizer must have water flowing through the electrode housing at all times
when the unit is turned on. During operation, ions jump from one electrode rod to the
other and are swept away by the flowing water. The Control Panel reverses polarity
regularly to ensure even consumption of the electrodes.
