System Operation
continued
Basic Opera � on
Engage Power switch (#6 on Illustra � on 5 shown above) by pressing to “On” posi � on. As the system
boots up, the lights will fl ash for about ten seconds. The System Status light (#3) will then remain solid;
the Sani � zer Output lights (# 1) will display the selected chlorine output level. One of the Polarity lights
(# 2) will also illuminate, indica � ng the direc � on of current. Every six hours of system opera � on the
polarity will change automa � cally, which prolongs the life of the cell and minimizes build up between
the cell blades. If the power is interrupted (either by the pump turning o ff or by pu � ng the Power
switch into the o ff posi � on), the system will automa � cally reset to the se � ng when last powered on.
Once the system is in normal opera � on mode, you can adjust output by pressing bu � on #5 (Up) to
increase or #5 (Down) to decrease output one increment. Each adjustment will be accompanied by
illumina � on of the light above the arrow, which indicates ac � va � on of the control system; you will then
see the associated change in the Sani � zer Output level. TIP: Check chlorine level on a regular basis
and adjust output of the chlorinator accordingly. Make sure that all pool chemicals are within
balance.
Provided the chlorinator is sized properly, the unit will supply a su ffi cient amount of chlorine to
sani � ze pool water on a daily basis. If operated 24 hours a day in BOOST, more chlorine would be
generated than would be needed by most pools (1-3 PPM). The BOOST MODE (with the red BOOST light
illuminated) will automa � cally operate for 72 hours of run � me, and then reduce to the 100% level. The
BOOST MODE
should be used to o ff set “out of the ordinary” condi � ons: unusual weather or extremely
high bather load. Unlike other chlorinators, the system is able to produce chlorine at all se � ngs on the
Sani � zer Output scale for its en � re run � me. Adjus � ng the Output control from 75% down to 50%
means that your unit is producing 50% of its capacity, for the en � re run of the system. This has a
posi � ve impact on cell longevity, as well as the amount of chlorine being produced by your system.
CAUTION:
Before opera � ng the Chlorinator for the fi rst � me, refer to “Safety Instruc � ons &
Precau � ons” (pages 4-6) and “Pool Water Prepara � on” (page 8-11). Do not run the system un � l it is
certain that salt has been dissolved in the pool. Opera � ng without adequate salt will result in damage to
the electroly � c cell and will void your warranty.
The Associa � on of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all water in a residen � al pool
pass through the fi ltra � on system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). As
discussed in “Startup Procedures” (page 16), the general rule of thumb for theChlorinator is to
operate the system 1 hour for every 10
o
F ambient air temperature. It may take a few days to achieve
the correct amount of pool pump opera � ng � me (run � me). Results depend on many variables and can
vary from one pool installa � on to the next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or
your pool professional.
The key points are:
• Operate the pool pump at least 1 hour for every 10 degrees of ambient air temperature.
•
Be sure to follow the guide line set forth by The Associa � on of Pool and Spas Professionals for
water chemistry
• The pool pump � mer can reduce energy consump � on; make sure to consult your local electrical
company for o ff peak opera � ng � mes and program your � mer within their guide lines
