8. HELPFUL HINTS

Proper operation of the chlorine generator can be easily verified by checking the lights 

on the control panel. However, if the pool remains cloudy, or the chlorine residual tests 

low, then the chlorine being produced is being lost due to high chlorine demand or 

improper water conditions

To reduce the chlorine demand, check the pH and Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) reading. 

Check for phosphates and nitrates, which commonly contribute to severe chlorine 

demand.  If tests show correct, then a shock treatment with an oxidizer agent is 

advised. Generally, superchlorination is not necessary if the pool is maintained at 

correct levels.

Recommended List:

•Read and keep your manual in a safe place.
•Increase Chlorine Production when temperature goes up.
•Increase Chlorine Production when number of guests goes up.

•Use Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) to protect free chlorine in pool.

•Mount Control Module in shade or out of the direct sunlight whenever possible.

•Decrease Chlorine Production when temperature goes down.

•Take pool  water  sample  to  a  Pool  Professional  at  least  once  per month.

Not Recommended List:

•Do not allow fertilizer anywhere near your pool. Fertilizers are one of many sources 

that contain Nitrates or Phosphates which cause severe chlorine demand in pool water.

•Never use dry acid to adjust pH. A build-up of by-products can damage the Cell.
•Do not add any pool water balancing chemicals (including salt) unless the Control 

Module is turned off.
•Do not add any chemicals (including salt) to the skimmers.
•Do not let salinity level drop below 3000 ppm.
