OPERATION
The AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator is an automatic chlorine
generation system for pool or spa sanitation. A Maximum of 95,000 Litres (25,000
Gallons) of water can be treated with one AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine
Generator unit. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the
pool water. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The AquaRite
Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator automatically sanitizes your pool by
converting the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine
will revert back to sodium chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will
continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your
pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool is when water is
replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation).
The AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
is designed to produce hypochlorous acid for most
residential pools up to 95,000 Litres (25,000 Gallons). The maximum output of hypochlorous acid is
equivalent to 0.45 Kg of chlorine per day. Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount of
chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's
cleanliness.
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the recommended water parameters. The only special requirements for the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain
these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your
water periodically. Your Authorized Aqua Rite Dealer (AARD) or most pool stores can provide you with the
chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the pool store that you are using an
Aqua Rite chlorine generator.
•
Do not add pool or spa chemicals directly to the skimmer. This may damage the AquaRite Long
Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator Cell.
•
Maintaining high salt and chlorine levels above recommended range can contribute to corrosion of
pool or spa equipment.
•
Check the expiry date of the test kit as test results may be inaccurate if used after the expiration
date.
•
NOTE: For outdoor pools, chlorine residuals can be protected from destruction by sunlight by the
addition of stabilizer (cyanuric acid).
•
Regulation may exist regarding the use of cyanuric acid. Please consult with your local authority.
•
For swimming pools, a minimum of 1ppm of free available chlorine must be maintained. For spas,
a minimum of 3 ppm of free available chlorine must be maintained.
