MAINTENANCE OF YOUR CHLORINATOR
Maintenance Schedule: Your new product incorporates moving parts and withstands high
velocity water with chemicals in it. Some of these parts will wear in the normal course of
use and require regular checks and maintenance. Performing these checks and
maintenance will identify parts that have worn and require repair/replacement before further
serious damage is sustained. A small amount of regular care and attention to your pool
equipment will help ensure long life and trouble free performance.
To protect against extremes of temperature, your unit is vented to allow expensive
electronics to cool.
Ants and some insects are often attracted to the warmer, dry
environment inside the enclosure.
We recommend that, with power turned off, you spray a
surface insecticide on the surfaces surrounding the control to prevent ant and insect
ingress.
Repeat every three months or as necessary.
