OPERATION
•
The SPS is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool & spa sanitation designed
specifically for above ground pools. The operation requires a low concentration of salt
(sodium chloride) in the pool water at levels low enough that it normally cannot be tasted.
SPS automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine, which kills
bacteria and algae in the pool, through a process called electrolysis.
•
SPS is designed to handle the purification needs of the average residential swimming pool
up to 20,000 gallons (75,000 liters). The actual amount of chlorination required to
properly sanitize a pool varies depending upon bather load, rainfall, air temperature,
water temperature, pool’s exposure to sunlight, pool’s surface, and cleanliness.
NOTE:
It is not recommended to use the SPS to generate Bromine. If
your pool has natural stone as coping or decking, please
check with a stone installation specialist for the maintenance
of the stone before installing the SPS.
NOTE:
The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is
discouraged, especially in arid regions where pool water is
subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly
diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of
by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell.
