D. SYSTEM OPERATION
1. HOW THE CHLORINATOR WORKS
At System Start Up the pool water should have a 4000-4500 ppm salt residual. Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of
two elements, sodium and chloride. As part of the daily filtration cycle, the pool water is passed through the Powerclean Salt
Econ electrolytic cell to produce chlorine, which is instantly dissolved into the water.
The chlorine destroy bacteria, viruses and algae. When the chlorine is spent it reverts back into dissolved salt, restarting the
cycle.
WATER PREPARATION AND TIPS ON WATER CHEMISTRY
Pool water that is not maintained properly will cause damage to the electrolytic 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 Association of Pool and Spas
Professionals (APSP) standards, we recommend the following water balance conditions be maintained on an ongoing basis to
protect the pool finish and equipment, and ensure a pleasing appearance of the water. The Powerclean Salt Econ systems are
warranted to operate properly only if these conditions are met.
2. SALT REQUIREMENTS
a. The Powerclean Salt Econ operates best with a salt range of 4,000 - 4,500 ppm. The cell will continue to operate with a
minimum of 3,000 PPM and up to 35,000 PPM without any adverse effects to the unit.
b. NOTE: HIGH salt level above 8,000 PPM may cause corrosion problems with metallic fixtures, light rings, ladders and
handrails.
c. Only pool grade salt should be used. This can be purchased at pool supply stores and most hardware outlets. NEVER use
salt that contains iodine or anti-caking agents like YPS, which can cause some discoloration of fittings and pool surface
finishes.
d. NOTE: Do not use rock salt due to its high levels of impurities.
WHEN TO ADD SALT
e. Salt level should be checked monthly. The salt level should never be allowed to fall below 3,000 PPM.
f. Salt level is lowered through dilution (adding fresh water or rainfall), water splashed out of the pool and/or backwashing
the filter.
Salt is not lost through evaporation.
If the salinity level drops below the recommended salinity range, use Table 4
on Page 11 to determine the amount of salt that has to be added to obtain the proper salinity level.
g. NOTE: The Powerclean Salt Econ will stop generating and the Power light will flash when one of the following conditions
exist: cold water (under 60°), low salt (under 3,000 PPM) or a dirty cell (see Image 4 or Troubleshooting section for
instructions on what to do when the system goes into service mode).
CAUTION
Do not operate the Powerclean Salt Econ with newly poured pool plaster. Check with the pool
builder or remodeler for specifics on their products before you operate the Powerclean Salt Econ
chlorinator.
HOW TO ADD SALT TO THE POOL
h. Determine salt level as discussed above. Use Table 4 to calculate the amount of salt needed.
i. Power on the pump to circulate the pool water.
j. Slowly pour in the salt around the outer perimeter of the pool for quick and even distribution. To avoid clogging the filter
or damaging the Control Center and pump, do not add salt through the skimmer or surge tank.
k. Brush the pool bottom to distribute the salt evenly and allow water to circulate for 24 hours to dissolve completely. After
24 hours, confirm salt level reading.
l. Power on the Powerclean Salt Econ system and set output percentage to desired Chlorine Output level (see Basic
Operation Section)
