OPERATING TIPS
Operating Tips
A. Filtration and chlorination system operating periods.
Run your filtration and chlorination system for at least 6 to 8 hours per day.
During very hot weather it might be necessary to run the system for additional hours, but in
winter where pools remain open, it is only necessary to run the filtration system for around 4
hours per day. Shorter periods will help to lengthen the life of the cell electrodes.
B. Chlorine output settings.
Start operation of the Clearwater LM2 at maximum output. Add salt to the pool if the ‘Add
Salt’ light is showing. For a home pool of about 13,200 gallons, the addition of one (1) 50 lb.
bag of salt will increase the salt concentration by 500 ppm. Refer to ‘Salt:When And How To
Add It’ and the ‘Adding Salt Chart’ on pages 17-18.
C. Free (residual) chlorine reading.
The free chlorine residual in the pool should be between 1 - 3 ppm. Increasing the daily
operating period of the system increases the free chlorine reading, and a shorter operating
period reduces the chlorine reading. Likewise, operating the chlorinator at maximum output
will produce a higher chlorine reading than operating the chlorinator at a lower setting.
D. Chlorine stabilizer (Cyanuric acid) level.
The Chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) reading should be between 40-100 ppm. This will vary
depending on your regional climate. Chlorine stabilizer helps to keep a satisfactory free
chlorine reading in hot sunny climates. Extremely hot and sunny climates will require readings
at the higher end of the given range. Refer to ‘Stabilizer Chart’ on page 19.
E. pH readings.
It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that the pH of the pool be maintained in the range of 7.2 - 7.6.
The effectiveness of chlorine as a sanitizer is significantly reduced as the pH rises. At a pH of
8.0, nearly all of the chlorine being added to the pool is wasted, and it will be almost
impossible to maintain a satisfactory free chlorine reading.
