CHLORINE PRODUCTION
Your chlorinator can produce up to a maximum of 24 grams - (0.0529 lbs) model (DAMC24G) per hour in
pool water with a salt level greater than 4000 ppm (and can even run in sea water). It must be run daily to
generate sufficient chlorine to sanitise the pool. During summer this will be for approximately eight hours
per day, preferably in two periods at morning and night. For outdoor pools night time is preferred because
chlorine dissipates rapidly in direct sunlight. If these times are observed, and the cell is functioning correctly,
your pool should have sufficient chlorine when tested in the morning.
CELL OUTPUT
Your chlorinator has been designed to take much of the guess work out of getting your sanitiser settings
right. Simply enter your pool size into the chlorinator and an optimised cell output (in grams per hour) will be
produced. For pools larger than 125kL (33.0kgal) please select the maximum pool size setting. As chlorine
demand is also strongly affected by water temperature, the chlorinator will monitor the water temperature
and automatically adjust the maximum output to suit over a 20 to 30°C range.
The following table illustrates the cell output (in grams of chlorine per hour) for a range of typical pool sizes
and water temperatures based on an eight hour run time.
Note: It is extremely important to enter your pool size correctly. Selecting too small a pool size could
mean consistently low chlorine levels.
For the chlorinator the output is limited to 24 grams per hour.

For large pools where X is listed in the above table, the chlorine demand will require the daily run time to be
longer than eight hours. The following table illustrates the
estimated daily run time required (in hours)
for
large pools with cell production set to 100%.

FOR POOLS WHERE X IS LISTED IN THE ABOVE TABLE, CHLORINE DEMAND EXCEEDS THE CAPACITY OF THIS MODEL AND
EITHER A HIGHER OUTPUT CHLORINATOR OR MULTIPLE CHLORINATORS SHOULD BE MANIFOLDED AND FITTED.
