If you use a Pool Pump Timer.

  The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all 

water in a residential pool pass through the 

fi

 ltration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool 

water turnover).  However, many factors have an effect on actual pump and 

fi

 lter system run times.  Pool 

size, source of water, direct sun light, indoor/outdoor, screened/unscreened, 

fi

 ltration system, cold or hot 

weather, swimmer load, rain, organic debris, algae, etc., are all factors which contribute to either more or 
less pool pump and 

fi

 lter system run times.  Because of these differences, it is extremely dif

fi

 cult to set an 

initial run time (starting point) for the pool pump and chlorinating system.

Try initially setting the Pool Pump Timer to 12 hours.  It will take a few days to get just the right pool 
pump operating time.  Adjust accordingly using the steps listed below ( Section 5.4.2, steps 1-5 ).  When 
the AquaPure is wired with a Pool Pump Timer (See page 6 Figure 2) 

results will vary greatly from one 

pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or the local pool 
professional.  The key points are:

•  Operate pool pump at least the minimum time needed for good 

fi

 ltration.

•  The Pool Pump Timer reduces energy consumption.

NOTE

  Exception - For Cold Weather Operation:  If the AquaPure is run 24 hours a day through the winter, extremely 

cold water temperatures can affect Cell life.  Sometimes it will be necessary to run the AquaPure at a very low 
production rate of 10% to 20% or to turn the unit off.  See Winterizing on page 29.

NOTE

  The generator only operates when the pump is running. During hot weather months you may need to increase 

pump run time to allow suffi cient chlorine production.

5.4 Startup

 5.4.1 

Shocking

Shocking (Super Chlorination) is recommended before pool startup. 

Start out with good pool water 

from the beginning.  The AquaPure will build up a suf

fi

 cient level of chlorine for sanitation in several hours.  

However, if pool water has a high demand from the startup the AquaPure will not be able to produce enough 
chlorine to reach break point chlorination.  So, it is best to super chlorinate from an outside source at the 
time of pool startup.  Then, wait until the chlorine level has returned to 1 to 3 PPM before turning on the 
AquaPure.

 5.4.2 

Apply 

Power

1.   Turn on the pool pump switch or Pool Pump Timer.  When the AquaPure is 

fi

 rst turned on (cold), 

the unit will beep. Next it will self-calibrate the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor. After going through an 
internal test and calibration, the LCD will display the current setting for Chlorine Production (00% to 
100%).  During the calibration period “Wait” will appear.  “Wait” means the unit is self calibrating and 
doing internal testing.  This usually takes less than 6 minutes.

2.    Check salinity level by pressing the 

Salinity

 button.  It should read between 3.0 gpl and 3.5 gpl.  If it 

does not then press the 

Salinity

 button two or three more times until the salinity reading stabilizes.  

NOTE

  If still less than 3.0 gpl refer to pages 18 through 20 and adjust salt level.  (Maintain the Recommended 

Salinity Level of 3.0 to 3.5 gpl).  If salinity is below 2.0 gpl the AquaPure will automatically turn the cell off 
until the salinity is raised above 2.0 gpl, since operating with low salt will damage Cell.  Likewise, if salinity is 
above the range of measurement the AquaPure will automatically turn the cell off until the salinity is lowered 
to a measurable level, since operating with high salt will damage the control center.  If salinity is greater than 
3.5 gpl, see Troubleshooting, page 30.

3.    Adjust the Chlorine Production to 50% by pressing the arrow button
