INSTALLATION
Installation must be performed in accordance with all Local NEC codes.
Preparing the Pool Water:
Check the pool water chemistry and balance BEFORE activating the salt chlorinator. It is recommended that
you consult a pool professional for the initial water balancing each season.
NOTE:
At the beginning of each season, add metal remover and polymer based (non copper) algaecide to the
pool, as per the manufacturer’s instructions. This operation will ensures a rapid, trouble free transfer to the
SANICLEAR chlorine generation system.
The SANICLEAR control panel is suitable for outdoor mounting. It must be installed a minimum of 5 ft. (1,5
meters) of distance (or more depending on local codes requirements) from the pool or spa.
The control of the SANICLEAR control box is designed to be mounted in a vertical position on a flat surface
with the pre-punched holes downwardly facing. Because the case also used to disperse the heat, it is very
important that the four sides of the control are not blocked to serve as ventilation openings.
Do not mount the case in a closed panel or confined area.
Make sure the salt chlorinator installation does not interfere with the potable water connection. Verify local
plumbing codes.
The switches (cell and flow) are connected in the return line to the pool. They are installed after all the other
pool equipment like filter, heater, solar, etc. The necessary plumbing components are provided

in the same direction of water flow. See below drawing.
