Operating Modes
The WATERMAID® WM44 offers seven operating modes as detailed below. Prior to configuring the
chlorinator, determine the operating mode that best suits your requirements.
Timer Mode:
This is the most commonly utilised mode which turns the chlorinator on at user-defined
times of the day. Refer to section 5.3 of this manual for information on setting timers.
Manual Mode:
This mode is selected when an external timer is utilised to control the scheduled run times.
Refer to section 5.4 and 5.5.
Boost Mode:
During periods of high chlorine demand (such as high bather load or a heat wave), it may
be desirable to use the boost feature. The WM44 allows boost to be set for periods
between 1 and 24 hours running time at 100% production. Simply set the desired boost
time and when the cycle is complete, the WM44 will revert back to its normal operating
state. Refer to section 8 for information on boost mode.
Summer Mode:
In Summer Mode, chlorine output is adjustable between 25% and 100% by using the

buttons. Refer to section 6.2 for information on summer mode.

In Winter Mode, chlorine output is non-adjustable and fixed at an output of 50%. Refer to
section 6.2 for information on winter mode.
Spa Mode:
In Spa Mode, chlorine output is non-adjustable and fixed at an output of 25%. Refer to
section 6.2 for information on spa mode.
Backwash Mode
The WM44 has a back wash feature to minimise the risk of any damage to the pool
equipment whilst back washing the filter. Refer to section 7 for information on performing
a backwash.
