DISPLAY SCREEN
The display screen shows the current salt concentration of the pool water. Readings are in ppm (parts per
million). If you prefer metric reading for metric units (grams per liter), push the “diagnostic” button next to
the display once. The display will now show the pool water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. With the
temperature displayed, move the main switch from AUTO to SUPER CHLORINATE to AUTO. The
temperature display will instantly change to degrees Celsius and the salt display will switch to grams/liter.
Repeat this process to switch back to USA units (ppm and Fahrenheit).
Sequential pushes of the small “diagnostic” button next to the LCD display will allow the salt chlorinator to
display the following information:
1.
Pool temperature (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
2.
Cell voltage (typically 20.0 to 26.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 30V)
3.
Cell current (typically 2.00 to 8.00 amps when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 0 amps)
4.
Desired Output % (“5P”—“100P” depending on knob position)
5.
Instant salinity (ppm or grams/Liter)
6.
Product name sent to the display
7.
Software revision level
On the 8th push of the button, the display will revert back to the default salt display. Also if the button is not
pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to the standard salt display.
PERFORMANCE
By familiarizing yourself with the operation of the SANICLEAR chlorine generation system, you can achieve
maximum performance for your pool. When chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are FOUR
factors that you can control to achieve the amount of chlorine the SANICLEAR SYSTEM can produce:
-
Number of hours of filter time each day
-
The quantity of salt in the pool
-
The setting of “Desired Level %”
-
Stabilizer level in the water.
To find the optimum setting of “Desired Level %”, start at a fairly high setting and work downward. It will
take a few days of adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool. Once determined, proceed with the
minor adjustments. The salt chlorinator control will not produce chlorine at temperatures below 50’F (10 C).
If your pool water is colder than 50’F (10 C), you must chlorinate manually.
MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM
It is recommended to inspect the cell every 3 month in order to maintain maximum efficiency. The salt
chlorinator will automatically flash the “Inspect Cell” LED light after approximately 500 hours for
inspection. After inspecting the cell (clean if needed) press the “diagnostic” button for 3 seconds to stop the
flashing LED light “Inspect Cell” and start the timer to engage the next 500 hour inspection period.
To enable the cell to work at its optimum efficiency, the salt chlorinator cell has a self-cleaning characteristic
integrated into the control. This self-cleaning mechanism will allow the cell to work at optimum capacity. In
locality where the water is hard (high calcium and/or mineral content) and in swimming pools where the
water chemistry is not balanced, the cell could necessitate cleaning. When the “Inspect Cell” LED light stays
ON along with the “check salt” LED light after it has been cleaned, this means the cell may need replacement
because it has worn.
