Operating Instructions
When using a pool pump timer:
The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP)
recommends that all water in a residential pool pass through the filtration system at least
once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However, many factors have an
effect on actual pump and filter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun
light, indoor/outdoor, screened and unscreened, filtration 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 filter system run times. Because of these differences, it is
extremely difficult 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 amount pool pump operating time. When the InteliChlor Salt Chlorator is wired with
a pool pump timer (see page 6) results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the
next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or your pool professional.
