SPECIAL NOTE ON CHLORINE:
Your salt water chlorinator is not designed to bring your pool from a zero chlorine read-
ing to an acceptable level but rather to maintain acceptable levels. Should it become
necessary due to unforeseen circumstances (such as the unlikely event of chlorinator
malfunction, severe weather patterns, or massive use of the swimming pool) that you
fi nd your pool requires additional chlorine then chlorine should be manually added rather
than running your fi lter and chlorinator excessively to replace the lost chlorine. Doing this
could put your chlorinator and cell under unnecessary strain which could shorten their
lives.
In situations such as this we recommend the use of liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite)
to supplement and maintain chlorine levels. The use of dry stabilised chlorine (calcium
hypochlorite) is not recommended unless liquid chlorine is unavailable and even then
only in limited amounts.
CHLORINE PRODUCTION IN VARIOUS CLIMATES
Environmental factors such as rainfall, temperature and sunlight will all have an eff ect on the
chlorine demand in your pool, and it is important to understand how this aff ects the treatment
of your pool, at your individual location.
The table below has been provided as a recommended guideline to the ratio of chlorine pro-
duction to typical water volume, treated in diff erent climate conditions.
EXAMPLE: If living in a tropical climate, expect the AutoChlor chlorinator to treat 1500l with 1 g/
hr production.
Therefore, as a rule of thumb, an AutoChlor RP25 in summer would typically be capable of
treating 37,500l of pool water.
