Weekly Service
Chlorine Test: Test pool water chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Maintain ideal range by adjus � ng
Sani � zer Output level (see Basic Opera � on on page 18).
Note:
Chlorine residual above 5.0 PPM
may cause corrosion of pool metals and possible damage to associated pool equipment. It is
recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two places, one at the pool return line, the
other well away from the pool return line. Compare the samples. A higher level of chlorine should be
found at the pool return line, which con fi rms that the system is producing chlorine.
pH Level Test: Test the pH level of your pool with a test kit. If necessary, adjust according to your pool
professional’s recommenda � ons. A pH level of 7.2 - 7.6 is recommended.
Note:
Never use dry acid to
adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evapora � on and minimal dilu � on of pool water with
fresh water. A build-up of byproducts can damage the electroly � c cell.
Monthly Service
To ensure that the correct chemical balance is maintained in your pool, it is important to perform the
following recommended pool water test every month. Take a water sample from your pool to a local
pool store or your pool professional for tes � ng.
1. Salt Level Test: Make sure salt level is within acceptable range (3,000-4,000 PPM). If salt level is
low, see table 1 on page 11 for the amount of salt to add
2. Total Alkalinity Test : Adjust according to your pool professional’s recommenda � ons. 80-100
PPM APSP Standard
3. Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid): Maintain ideal range of 20-30 PPM. Follow your pool professional’s
recommenda � ons.
4. Calcium Hardness: If necessary, adjust according to your pool professional’s recommenda � ons.
APSP standard of 200-400 PPM is recommended.
5.
Metals Test:
It is recommended that the pool water be tested periodically for the presence of
metals such as copper, iron, and manganese. These metals should not be present in the pool
water. If those metals are present, contact your pool professional immediately.
CHLORINE: During peak sani � zer demand (heavy rain, high bather usage, and/or high heat) it may be
necessary to increase the sani � zer level by increasing your sani � zer output se � ng and/or pump
run � me. Conversely, with low sani � zer demand, you can decrease the output level to a lower se � ng.
For extremely heavy sani � zer demand or to increase your sani � zer levels, you can run the system at
100% or supplement with a Potassium Monopersulfate based shock. CAUTION: Excessive chlorine
levels can cause premature cell failure and corrosion damage to other metallic pool equipment. Avoid
over satura � on of chlorine levels.
pH: When your pH falls below the accepted range, your sani � zer is used up very quickly and can be
damaging to your equipment. For pH levels higher than the accepted range, your sani � zer becomes
much less e ff ec � ve and will work harder to keep your pool sani � zed.
CALCIUM HARDNESS AND TOTAL ALKALINITY:
The system provides 100% pure sodium hypochlorite and
does not a ff ect the calcium hardness or total alkalinity levels. Maintain and balance only as needed.
