BASIC OPERATING HINTS

1.  Ensure water is balanced with respect to pH, total Alkalinity and calcium hard-

ness otherwise corrosive or scaly conditions may result. These conditions may 
lead to equipment inefficiencies or damage and the resultant water may cause 
staining and mineral deposits. Chlorine effectiveness may be compromised 
along with bather comfort.

2.  Regular testing of pool water is imperative. A free chlorine level of 1.5ppm to 

3.0ppm should be maintained with periodic manual shock dosing to effectively 
remove contaminants. A correctly sized chlorinator will meet the normal demand 
requirements of your pool. Your Aquapower-plus chlorinator displays % chlorine 
output only, not the actual residual chlorine level in the pool.

3.  The use of Cyanuric acid (chlorine stabilizer) will ensure no chlorine is lost due 

to the action of the suns U.V. light is kept to a minimum. The breakdown of chlo-
rine by U.V. light is so significant that we insist on it’s use. Keep CYA between 
50 - 80 ppm. 

4. 

Although regular acid cleaning is not required, it is good practice to periodi-
cally inspect the cell for entrapped debris and remove if necessary. If a mineral 
deposit appears to build on the electrode, contact Aquapower-plus for advice.

5.  Always disconnect automatic pool cleaners when adding salt and only
 

reconnect when salt has fully dissolved.

6.  DO NOT USE COPPER OR BROMINE BASED PRODUCTS IN POOL. 

Usage 

of these may void warranty. Consult your local pool professional for advice.

 

(Some copper based products available are acceptable for use - consult with 
your pool professional or Aquapower-plus)

 

Bromine must never be used in conjunction with our systems.

7.  Generally the pool pump and chlorinator should operate from 4 to 12 hrs per 

day depending on the demand placed on the residual chlorine level by the

 

environment or bather numbers.

8.  Take note of the diagnostic display, it will inform you of the chlorinators activity 

and any abnormal conditions that may exist.

9.  Read the entire owners manual, seek advice from a pool professional on water 

balance, or contact AquaPower-Plus directly . It is important to understand not 
only the operation of your Aquapower-plus salt chlorinator, but indeed some 
basic water chemistry to ensure the pool, the equipment, you, your friends and 
family enjoy healthy swimming pleasure.
