How the Chlorinator Works
Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chloride. When the system is
installed, a measured quan
� ty of salt is dissolved in the pool water to create a mild saline solu � on. As
part of the daily fi ltra � on cycle, the pool water is passed through the electroly � c cell to produce
chlorine, which is instantly dissolved into the water. The chlorine generator also produces ozone and
hydrogen in the cell as by-products.
In simple, non-technical terms, the chlorine instantly starts to destroy bacteria, viruses and algae, a � er
doing this it reverts back into dissolved salt. This cycle con � nues as new chlorine is produced from the
salt water in the electroly � c cell, sani � zing the pool and changing once more back into dissolved salt.
Every day, when the system and the fi ltra � on system are switched on, dust and debris are
trapped by the fi lter and the chlorinator sani � zes the water to make it safe and sparkling clean.
Water Preperation & Tips on Water Chemistry
Pool water that is not maintained properly will cause damage to the electroly � c cell and possibly void
the warranty of the cell. Properly balancing pool water chemistry is the most important aspect of
maintaining a swimming pool. Pool water must be tested regularly in order to properly maintain its
chemical balance. In accordance with The Associa � on of Pool and Spas Professionals (APSP) standards,
we recommend the following water balance condi � ons be maintained on an ongoing basis to protect
the pool fi nish and equipment, and ensure a pleasing appearance of the water. The system is
warranted to operate properly only if these condi � ons are met.
Free Chlorine 1.0 - 3.0 PPM Chlorine levels above 3.0 may
cause corrosion of pool metals
pH 7.2 - 7.6 High pH reduces sani � zer
e ffi ciency
Total Alkalinity (TA) 80 - 100 PPM The harder the water, the
lower TA should be kept
Cyanuric Acid (CYA) -- Chlorine Stabilizer 20 - 30 PPM Minimizes destruc � on of
chlorine residual by sunlight
Calcium Hardness 200 - 400 PPM Excess calcium may require
you to drain pool and add water
Metals, Phosphates and Nitrates None Depletes chlorine in your pool.
Salt Residual 3000-4000 PPM
