The Sugar Valley Oxilife OX2NG is an advanced water treatment and pool control system for those who want to treat their pool water efficiently and in a largely automated manner. The system combines hydrolysis with low-salt electrolysis and is suitable for private swimming pools up to 120 m³ at a water temperature below 28°C. For water temperatures above 28°C, a maximum pool volume of approximately 80 m³ is recommended.
A key advantage of the Oxilife technology is the very low salt concentration required. The system can function starting from just 1.5 grams of salt per liter of water. This is significantly less than many traditional salt electrolysis systems. As a result, you benefit from automatic water disinfection without the pool water having to feel strongly salty.
But the OX2NG goes much further than just water disinfection. The integrated pool controller features 7 relays that can be used to control filtration, lighting, pH regulation, and various additional pool functions, among other things. With optional sensors and modules, you can further expand the system with automatic pH, Redox, free chlorine, and temperature regulation, as well as control via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Hydrolysis and electrolysis combined
The power of the Sugar Valley Oxilife lies in the combination of hydrolysis and low-salt electrolysis.
During the process, various oxidative substances are formed from water and the salt present, which contribute to the treatment and disinfection of the pool water. Only a limited amount of free chlorine is required for this.
As a result, the OX2NG forms an interesting alternative for pool owners who want to reduce their dependence on manually added chlorine products while seeking automated water treatment.
The system produces its disinfecting effect during water circulation. Therefore, a properly sized filter installation and sufficient daily circulation time are important for optimal results.
Works from as little as 1.5 grams of salt per liter
One of the most important features of the Oxilife is the low required salt concentration of only 1.5 g/l.
For a pool of, for example, 50,000 liters, 1.5 g/l corresponds to approximately 75 kg of salt. For a 100,000-liter pool, this is approximately 150 kg.
Because the required salt concentration is relatively low, the salty taste and the salty feeling of the water are much less noticeable than with systems that require a significantly higher salt concentration.
The OX2NG can also be used in saltwater and seawater pools.
Suitable for pools up to 120 m³
The Sugar Valley Oxilife OX2NG has been developed for larger private swimming pools.
At a water temperature of less than 28°C, a maximum average pool volume of approximately 120 m³ is recommended.
At higher water temperatures, the need for disinfection increases. Therefore, at temperatures above 28°C, a lower maximum pool volume of approximately 80 m³ is advised.
This difference is important when choosing the right model. For example, if you have a 100 m³ pool that is kept around 30°C for long periods, it is wise to take the harsher conditions into account and not look solely at the theoretical maximum of 120 m³.
Titanium electrolysis cell with 7 plates
The OX2NG is equipped with an electrolysis cell with 7 titanium plates.
During operation, the pool water flows through this cell. The electrolysis cell is thus an essential part of the disinfection process.
The cell is connected using a Ø63 mm connection and requires a minimum water flow of approximately 7 m³ per hour.
A practical advantage of the new NG series is that the cells of earlier Oxilife systems and the new Oxilife NG systems are fully interchangeable. This can be interesting when replacing or upgrading an existing Sugar Valley installation.
Automatic polarity reversal
During electrolysis, limescale can form on the electrodes over time. Especially in harder pool water, this can affect the performance of an electrolysis cell.
The OX2NG therefore features automatic polarity reversal. This periodically reverses the electrical polarity of the cell.
This helps to limit limescale buildup on the cell and thus reduces the maintenance requirement.
The automatic polarity reversal does not mean that the cell never needs to be checked or cleaned. Water hardness and water balance remain important for a long service life of the installation.
4.3-inch full-colour touchscreen
Operation is performed via a modern 4.3-inch full-colour touchscreen.
Through the display, you get access to the water treatment settings and the various connected pool functions. This means you do not have to install a separate controller for each component.
The central control makes the Oxilife OX2NG especially interesting for more extensive technical rooms where filtration, lighting, water treatment, and other equipment should be managed as much as possible from a single system.
Much more than just an electrolysis system
The Sugar Valley Oxilife OX2NG distinguishes itself from a simple salt electrolysis system because it can simultaneously function as a pool controller.
The system has a total of 7 relays.
These can be used to control:
FiltrationPool lightingpH regulation4 configurable auxiliary functions
Depending on the installation, the additional functions can be used for, for example, additional pool equipment.
This allows the OX2NG to become the central control point for a modern pool installation.
Automatic pH regulation possible
A correct pH value is essential for comfortable and well-treated pool water. Therefore, the OX2NG can optionally be expanded with automatic pH measurement and regulation.
Various pH kits are available for this purpose, including versions with a premium plastic sensor or a glass sensor.
In combination with a suitable dosing pump, the system can use the measured pH value to automatically dose correction liquid.
This automates a large part of manual water maintenance.
Optional Redox regulation
In addition to pH, the Oxilife can be expanded with a Redox sensor.
The Redox value provides information about the oxidation capacity of the pool water and can be used to regulate disinfection more accurately.
Various sensors are also available for this, including versions in plastic and glass.
For a fully automated installation, pH and Redox regulation can be combined.
Directly measuring free chlorine
Those who want to regulate even more accurately can expand the OX2NG with a system for the direct measurement of free chlorine.
For this purpose, an amperometric probe and a membrane probe for free chlorine are available, among others.
This offers a different form of regulation than working solely based on Redox. The system can then receive information about the actual measured concentration of free chlorine in the pool water.
These expansions are particularly interesting for users who value comprehensive automatic water monitoring.
Temperature control
A temperature kit is also available as an option.
This allows the water temperature to be included in the control system and enables suitable connected equipment to be controlled based on the temperature.
This makes the Oxilife interesting in combination with, for example, pool heating and other automated installations.
Suitable for variable speed pumps
Modern pool installations increasingly use energy-efficient pumps with a variable speed.
The OX2NG supports the control of variable speed pumps via dry contact.
This allows filtration and water treatment to be better coordinated, and, depending on the connected equipment, it is possible to work with different pump speeds.
Modbus RS485
For more extensive pool and home automation installations, the OX2NG features support for Modbus RS485.
This communication protocol enables integration with broader automation solutions.
This makes the system interesting not only for a simple private installation but also for technically more complex pools where various devices need to communicate centrally.
Optional Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection
Do you want to control the installation not only from the technical room? Then the OX2NG can be expanded with Wi-Fi or Ethernet communication.
In combination with the appropriate communication module, the system can be managed via the Hayward Vistapool app.
This gives you more possibilities to view and manage the pool installation remotely.
Please note that Wi-Fi and Ethernet are optional expansions and are therefore not included as standard with every OX2NG configuration.
Extensive modular system
A major advantage of the Sugar Valley Oxilife series is that you do not necessarily have to install all functions immediately.
You can start with the basic functions for electrolysis, hydrolysis, and pool control and then expand the system with, for example:
pH regulation
Redox regulation
Free chlorine measurement
Temperature measurement
Conductivity measurement
Automatic dosing
Wi-Fi
Ethernet
Empty chemical tank detection
Detachable touchscreen
This allows you to tailor the installation to the level of automation you desire.
