observed, and the Cell is functioning correctly, your pool will have sufficient chlorine
when tested in the morning.
If the level is too low either longer running times are required or the
System Control
needs to be adjusted to maximum. Harsh local conditions such as traffic pollution or
windborne dust require different running times; in which case, seek advice from your
pool shop. During Winter and Spring approximately 4 to 6 hours a day should provide
enough chlorine. Without sufficient filtration/chlorination, your pool will never function
correctly.
ALWAYS RUN THE FILTER WHEN SWIMMING IN THE POOL. In extremely
hot weather or during periods of heavy bathing loads, the running time may need to be
extended to 10 - 14 hours per day.
In some cases you may find your chlorine level to be too high. To determine if this is the
case, run your filter/chlorinator for the suggested times/chlorine production level and test
your pool water on the morning after operation. If your chlorine test shows a high level of
chlorine, either the running times can be reduced slightly, or the
System Control can be
turned anti - clockwise. Test your chlorine level again the following morning at around
the same time. If your chlorine level is still high, repeat the above process until the
correct level is attained.
SUPER - CHLORINATION:
Periodically, especially during extremely hot conditions, it may be necessary to boost the
amount of chlorine in your pool in order to maintain absolute sanitation of the water. This
can be achieved by adding either liquid or granulated chlorine. If granulated chlorine is
added, the Cell must be checked regularly, since the additives from this product will clog
the electrodes. Alternatively, extend the running time of your EcoSalt chlorinator.
