BOOST MODE
Boost Mode is designed to replenish chlorine that was just used during the last spa use. Activating Boost Mode will
take ChlorMaker out of stand-by and re-start the production of chlorine at the power level it is currently set at. To
activate Boost Mode simply turn the dial up 1 power level, wait a few seconds, then turn the dial back down to its
original setting. After a few brief moments, ChlorMaker will re-start the chlorine production process at the original
power level.
SELECTING THE RIGHT POWER LEVEL
Selecting the right power level requires some testing and adjustment. There are many factors that affect the
sanitizing needs of a spa such as: Frequency of spa use, number of people, if there is an Ozone Generator, spa
temperature, last drain and refill, etc. However, after the testing and adjustment period, TechniChlor will take care
of your sanitation needs day after day. As a starting point, please program TechniChlor and set the power level to
the general recommendations shown in the chart below.
Power
Level
TechniChlor
Spa (Gallons)
1 to 3
Less than 200
4
200 to 300
5
300 to 400
6
400 to 500
7 to 10
500 and above
Test the Chlorine Level with test strips after 1 to 2 days. When testing, the best readings are always done about an
hour after restarting TechniChlor with a double tap to initiate chlorine production at the beginning of a power level
cycle. If the chlorine level is LOW, increase the power level by one level. If the chlorine level is HIGH decrease
the power level by one level. Wait a day or so after this initial adjustment, re-test and repeat as necessary until a
consistent chlorine residual has been achieved. If the chlorine level is VERY high or VERY low, adjust by 2 levels,
as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the chlorine level is zero 24 hours after installation, the initial chlorine demand on
the spa may be above what TechniChlor can produce to break away from zero. In this case, manually add
chlorine or shock (according to the product label) to assist in the initial set-up.
If spa usage drops (vacation, winter, etc), it is important to re-set the power level down several levels. If usage
significantly increases, (return from vacation, etc) it is important to adjust the power level up accordingly. Always
retest and adjust the power level as needed.
