CHLORINE OUTPUT
To adjust the chlorine output:
(a)
Use Increase/Decrease arrows for setting the chlorine output level of the Salt Chlorine Generator. The Salt
Chlorine Generator output can be set from levels 1 through 5.
(b)

SETTING THE RIGHT CHLORINE OUTPUT AND FILTRATION TIME
Summer
To prevent consumption of chlorine by sunlight, try adding Cyanuric Acid as recommended by your local pool
professional. Additional benefit will be gained by operating your Salt Chlorine Generator and pump into the evening
when the strong sunlight has abated.
Chlorine is most effective when the pH of your pool water is 7.4. The electro-chemical process of the Salt Chlorine
Generator (change salt into chlorine) will automatically raise the pH of your pool water, so it is very important to check
your pH weekly and adjust as necessary.
Checking Chlorine Level
Ideally, check your Chlorine level in the morning. The free chlorine residual level should be somewhere between 1 and
3 parts per million. Increase or decrease the output of the Salt Chlorine Generator to get the right residual chlorine
level.
STABILIZER
As previously mentioned, sunlight rapidly dissipates the amount of free chlorine in your pool. Chlorine stabilizer greatly
reduces this effect. Without stabilizer, you may need to run your Salt Chlorine Generator at a higher output to maintain
correct chlorine levels.
