6.4 Winterizing

NOTE Do not use Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze) in the system.
Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Operating the chlorinator below 11°C (51°F) is not recommended.
Operating the chlorinator in cold water can shorten the life of the cell.
If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water may cause severe damage to the cell. Prevent freeze damage to
the cell by running pump continuously or winterize pool by draining water from pump, fi lter, and all intake and return
lines. Remove the cell, clean and store it indoors. Coil the cell leads, wrap in plastic and tape to the power pack.
A winterizing cap is included with this product to replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance. This will
enable pool pump to circulate water with the cell out the of line.
During the cold season, if you are using a FREEZE CONTROLLER on pump equipment and you choose to keep the
chlorinator installed, turn the CHLORINE PRODUCTION down to 20%, otherwise, chlorine production will exceed
the recommended level of 1 - 3 ppm.

6.4.1 Winterizing Procedure

Disconnect power to the system at the main circuit breaker before performing this procedure to avoid risk of
electric shock which can result in property damage, severe injury or death.
1. Ensure that all power to the power pack and the controller is disconnected/turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Shut off any necessary valves to prevent any water loss.
3. Open the air relief valve to relieve any pressure in the pool system.
4. Remove the terminal cap and cell leads.
5. Undo the locking ring. If required, use the locking ring tool provided (see Figure 26).
6. Remove the cell (see Figure 27).
7. Attach the winterizing cap (see Figure 29).
8. Position the locking ring in proper alignment, making sure the bump aligns with the top thread.
9. Screw down the locking ring to the threaded clamp using the locking ring tool.
NOTE Ensure the locking ring is level when engaging the threading housing (see Figure 30).
