Ozone is one of the most powerful oxidizers on Earth. It is 55 times more powerful
than chlorine and reacts 3,000 times faster. It greatly improves water clarity and is
effective in controlling cryptosporidium and E. coli while eliminating harmful
chloramines. It will not irritate eyes or dry out your skin.
When combining this with mineral ionization, you have the most effective system at
reducing chlorine use while helping kill harmful microorganisms.
The Perfect Complement to MineralPURE
When combing the new OzoneMAX system with the MineralPURE ionization
system, you will have the most advanced alternative sanitizing system available. The
ionization system will help control algae, bacteria, and viruses, while the ozone provides
the oxidation needed. This will allow you to further reduce chlorine levels along with
this ionizer.

A.) Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. For Model: R-40
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times. This is to prevent accidental injury.
3. For all permanently installed units intended for use on 15 or 20 ampere, 110 through 240 volts,
single phase branch circuits.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a branch circuit
protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if
you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
4. For all permanently installed units intended for use on 15 or 20 ampere, 110 through 240 volts,
single phase branch circuits.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the
reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the unit without the test button being pushed, a
ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit.
Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
5. READ AND SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

C.) Tools and Materials Required
D.) Site Survey
The MineralPURE R-40 should be installed at the pool’s pump and filter area. The preferable
location to mount the electrode chamber(s) is after the pool’s pump and filter, but it can be
installed before the pool’s pump and filter if needed. The electrode chamber(s) will need to be
within 10 feet of the control box for an electrical connection. The control box will need to be
within 7 feet of an electrical source.
NOTE: The MineralPURE R-40 should only receive power when the pump does.

E.) Installing the R-40
First - Mount the Flow Cell Tee
Read All Instructions First
1.) Turn off the pump and close all valves. Disconnect all sources of power going
to the timer or pump.
2.) Locate a space for the electrode flow
cell tee (the 2" slip/slip/threaded tee).
The tee should be installed after the
pump and either before or after the
filter. After the filter is preferred, but it will work fine if installed before the
filter. NEVER INSTALL THE TEE NEXT TO THE POOL'S HEATER.
3.) Using a hacksaw or backsaw, cut a 3" gap in the section of pipe if 2" pipe
exists, or cut out a 4" gap if a 1⁄" pipe exists.
4.) Sand the burrs off the pipe. Dry the pipe and clean the ends with PVC
primer/cleaner.
5.) If 1⁄" pipe exists, cement the 2" to 1⁄" reducer bushings into the tee (included with the
R-40).
6.) The tee should be mounted on the return line after the pump and mounted
slightly downward so that no air-pocket can form in the electrode
chamber (below a horizontal position). THIS IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. If there is not enough “give” to allow insertion of the tee,
install unions. Generously wrap teflon tape around the threaded part of the
electrode assembly several times
before installing to prevent leaks.
7.) Screw the electrode into the downward facing tee. Tighten only by hand, do not
use any tools to perform this step.
MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH ELECTRODE WIRE COMING FROM THE CONTROL BOX LOCATION
TO REACH THE ELECTRODES WHEN INSTALLED ON THE RETURN LINE.

E.) Installing the R-40 (continued)
Mounting the Control Box
1.) Before mounting the R-40 control box, you must determine the voltage at the installation site. By using
your voltage meter, determine if the voltage is 110VAC or 220VAC.
ALL R-40 CONTROL BOXES ARE FACTORY SET AT 220 VAC.
IF THE INSTALLATION CALLS FOR A 110 VAC SETTING,
YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE R-40 CONTROL BOX.
Changing Voltage from 220VAC to 110VAC
a.) Open up the clear control box panel.
b.) Unscrew the four (4) screws holding the faceplate assembly in place.
c.) Lift the face plate out of the enclosure and turn over. Do not disconnect any wires!
d.) Locate switch on circuit board (between fuse and transformer) where 220V - 110V wording is
located. (see page 20)
e.) Slide switch from 220VAC to 110VAC.
f.) Place the faceplate assembly back in its place.
g.) Retighten four (4) screws to hold in place.
FAILURE TO SET THE R-40 ON THE PROPER VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS:
If the actual voltage was 220VAC, and the R-40 was set on 110VAC, the internal fuse will blow.
If the actual voltage was 110VAC, and the R-40 was set on 220VAC, the R-40 will not work at 100% efficiency.

Mounting the Control Box (continued)
2.) Mount the brackets to the
back of the R-40 control box.
Use enclosed screws.
3.) Mount the control box to the wall allowing for the power cable to
reach the source of power and the electrode wire to reach the
electrode chamber. Use proper anchors and screws to mount. (Not
provided)
4.) Make sure the surface is flat, firm, and as close to the power source as possible.
Connecting the Electrode Cable
5.) Connect the two electrode wires coming from the MineralPURE R-40 (inside the gray colored jacket) to
the two electrode terminals. It does not matter which (red or black) wire is connected to the electrode
terminals. Make sure they do not touch each other. These connectors are weatherproof and there is no need
to cover them.

E.) Installing the R-40 (continued)
Choosing the Power Source
When locating the power source, the R-40 should turn on and off when the pump and motor does. The best
location is the pool's timer box. If no timer box exists, you can use the pump motor as its power source by
removing the back plate.
Connecting the control box to the timer box
6.) Connecting the control box to a power source.
If the swimming pools pump stays on 24 hours a day, then connect to the circuit that
supplies power to the pool’s pump motor. This may change the size of the circuit
breaker required, a certified electrician may be required.
We recommend adding a timer box if the swimming pools pump is on 24 hours a day.
The control box would be wired directly into this timer. This will help prolong
the life expectancy of the control box. Also by having control of how long the
control box is on allows the user to regulate the copper ion production more
precisely.
YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL LOCAL, STATE, NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL CODES WHEN
INSTALLING. A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN MAY BE REQUIRED.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure any city, state or national health code/ swimming pool
regulations be followed in accordance for installation of this equipment.
When Connecting to the Timer Box
220 VAC - Connect the black (3 stranded) wire
cable to the 220 VAC timer box by stripping
the 3 wires and connecting the black and
white wires to the LOAD side on the timer
box. It makes no difference which colored
wire goes to the two load screws. Connect the
green wire to GROUND. When installed
correctly, the R-40 should come on and off
when the power comes on and off. If this fails to happen, you have installed the unit improperly.
110 VAC - Connect either the white wire or the
black wire to the LOAD side on the timer box.
It makes no difference which colored wire
goes to the two load screws. Connect the green
wire to ground. When installed properly, the
R-40 should come on and off when the power
comes on and off. If this fails to happen, you
have installed the unit improperly.
