installation for the
aquascaPe iongen ™ system
ImPOrtant: Before installing the IonGen ™ System
in existing water features it is recommended to
thoroughly clean the pond of as much algae and
debris as possible. This will maximize the ions’ effectiveness
and speed to achieve desired results. The more algae
and debris in the water feature, the longer it will take the
Aquascape IonGen ™ System to provide noticeable results.
1. Mount the IonGen ™ System Control Panel
Mount the IonGen ™
System Control Panel
in the desired location;
making sure the power
cord reaches the GFI
outlet and the IonGen ™
Probe cord reaches the
desired location of the
IonGen ™ Probe. A 25’
extension Cable with Quick Connects (sold separately) is
available, if needed. The IonGen ™ System Control Panel
is weather-resistant, but in order to maximize the lifespan
of your unit, we suggest mounting the panel above ground
in a location protected from the elements.
2. Install the Flow Chamber
The Flow Chamber for the IonGen
™ System can be located
in several areas within the water feature. The Flow Chamber
is most effective when plumbed directly into the water feature’s
recirculating system. The IonGen ™ Probe can also be installed
without the Flow Chamber by submerging it in a filter, such as
in a skimmer or Pondless ® Waterfall filter. Follow the step-by-
step installation instructions for the method you select.
INSTALLATION OPTION A:
Flow Chamber Installed into Recirculating System
• Cut and insert the Flow
Chamber into the water
feature’s recirculating system.
The Flow Chamber should
be positioned after the water
feature’s pump, and in a
region of the plumbing line
that drains by gravity. This is
enables you to easily service
the IonGen ™ Probe and
allows for overwintering the
Flow Chamber and fittings.
It is recommended to use a
pre-filter, such as a skimmer,
prior to the Flow Chamber,
in order to remove solids
and debris that may interfere
with the IonGen ™ Probe. A
small valve box may be used
for easy access during maintenance.
• Select the fittings needed for the application. The PVC slip
fitting is designed to be used with Schd 40 PVC pipe (Rigid
or Flex) and PVC glue. The multi-hose adapter fitting is
designed to be used with kink-free pipe and hose clamps.
