OPERATION

CONTROLS

MAIN SWITCH

AUTO: 

For normal operation, the Main switch should be left in the AUTO position. In this position the 

SPS will produce chlorine according to the “Desired Level %” adjustment setting for the entire filtering / 

pumping cycle.

SUPER CHLORINATE:

 When you have an abnormally high bather load, heavy rainfall, cloudy water 

conditions, or any other condition which requires that a large amount of purification be introduced, set 

the Main Switch in the SUPER CHLORINATE position. This electronically “super chlorinates” (shocks) 

the water for 24 hours (filter pump must be on during this time) or until the power has been turned off, 

whichever comes first. At the end of the super chlorination period, be sure to put the switch back into the 

AUTO position.

OFF:

 The OFF position prevents the SPS from energizing the electrolytic cell. In this position there is no 

chlorine generation.

NOTE:

 In times of servicing, the OFF switch is not to be used. To service the SPS, turn power off the circuit 

breaker.

DESIRED LEVEL ADJUSTMENT KNOB

This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the SPS generates. Adjust this setting to increase or 

decrease the chlorine output level. The reading is from 5 percent output to 100% output capacity of the SPS.

INDICATOR LED

POWER:

 When illuminated, the SPS has input power.

SUPER CHLORINATE:

 Illuminates during Super Chlorination. See description above.

REMOTE CONTROLLED:

 The part is controlled by a remote control system.

NO FLOW: 

When illuminated, the flow switch has detected no flow and SPS is NOT generating chlorine. 

A flashing LED indicates that the flow is restored, but there will be a 60 second delay before generation 

is reestablished.

CHECK SALT:

  When  flashing,  the  salt  level  is  low  (below  2500ppm)  and  SPS  is  generating  at  low 

efficiency. When illuminated steady, the salt level is too low and SPS has shut down.

NOTE

: Before adding large quantities of salt, it is advisable to have your salt level professionally checked.

HIGH SALT:

 When illuminated, the salt level is too high and SPS has shut down. The pool water must 

be diluted with fresh water before operation is restored.

INSPECT CELL: 

If flashing, either the cell efficiency is reduced or it is time for regularly scheduled cell 

inspection. In either case, inspect the cell and clean if necessary. Pressing the “diagnostic” button next 

to the display for 3 seconds will stop the flashing LED. When illuminated steady, cell efficiency is greatly 

reduced and SPS has stopped producing chlorine. Inspect, clean or replace if necessary.

SALT DISPLAY

The Salt Display shows the current salt concentration of the pool water. Readings are in ppm (parts per 

million). If Metric units (grams per liter) are preferred, push the “diagnostic” button next to the display once. 

The display will now show the pool water temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. With the temperature displayed, 

move the main switch from AUTO to SUPER CHLORINATE to AUTO. The temperature display will instantly 

change to degrees Celsius. Repeat this process to switch back to USA units (Fahrenheit).
