Control Keypad

CONTROL BUTTONS:

1)Power: Use this button to manually power the system on or off.

2)Salinity: Displays the average measurement of the most recent salinity levels in the pool

water. The average is constantly being updated by real-time salinity readings.

Notice: When first installed, this reading may display the last salinity readings taken at the

factory. This average will begin to update with your pool's operation over the first 24

hours.

3)Super CL: Temporarily boosts Chlorine Output to Maximum Power for 24 hours, or until

power is removed from the system.
