3.3 RUN DRY SAFETY FEATURE 

Your VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator incorporates a run dry safety cut out.    When the Chlorinator turns the filter pump on, it will 
check for water flow.   If no water flow is detected within 3 minutes, the chlorinator will turn the pump off.   This is designed to 
protect the pump seal and parts from overheating if no water flow is present. 
 
On initial start-up, you will need to prime the pump.  In some cases, the pump will take more than three minutes to prime and 
for water flow to be detected by the chlorinator.   If this should occur, simply start the pump again by pressing the Pool Mode 
button to “on”. 
 
If during normal operation, the chlorinator switches the pump off after three minutes, then check the position of all valves, 
empty skimmer basket and pump basket and clean the filter.

3.4 GENERAL OPERATION/POOL CHEMISTRY (ALSO SEE CHART ON PAGE 21) 

Your VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator must be run every day to ensure that your pool is correctly sanitized.  As the sun dissipates 
chlorine, running times are higher in the summer compared to the winter.  Astral recommends that you initially run your 
chlorinator at maximum output.
