• Use the and buttons to set the Timer
1 start minutes, then press
• Use the and buttons to set the Timer
1 start hours, then press
• Repeat the steps for Timer 2.
• Press the button to store the timers and move to
setting the chlorine production rate.
• Use the and buttons to choose the required
chlorine production rate (from 10% to 100%).

5.3 Chlorine Production Activated

When chlorine production starts, the "Start..."
message is displayed on screen for about 6 seconds.
"CHLORINATION" is then displayed, indicating that the
device is producing chlorine.
A 24 hour countdown will be displayed on the LCD when
"boost' mode is activated.
5.4 Boost Mode Operation
"Boost" mode: chlorine production increased to
100% for 24 hr
In certain cases the pool may need higher than normal
chlorination (stormy weather, high number of bathers,
etc.). "Boost" mode is used to increase chlorine level
quickly.
• Press buttons and
displayed on the screen and 100 % chlorine production
starts.
• To stop "Boost" mode, press
When "Boost" mode is activated, the rated chlorine
production settings are temporarily overridden and the
saltwater chlorinator will operate for a total of 24 hours at
100 % chlorine production.
Section 6. Maintenance
Instructions
Before performance maintenance for the chlorine
generating device please ensure you have read and
understood the Important Safety Instructions section.

IMPORTANT:

Always test the chlorine levels of your pool
before each use.

6.1 Weekly

1. Chlorine Test. Test pool water chlorine level with
a reliable test kit. Maintain ideal range by adjusting
the chlorine output level on the power pack (see
Section 5.3). Recommended free chlorine level is
1 - 3 ppm.

ENGLISH
NOTE: It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken
from two (2) places, one (1) at the pool return line, the
other well away from the pool return line. Compare the
two (2) samples. A higher level should be found at the
pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line
indicates the system is producing chlorine.
2. pH Level Test. Test the pH level of your pool with
a test kit. If necessary, adjust to maintain a pH
level of 7.4 - 7.6 (see Section 4.3).
Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic
areas with excessive evaporation and minimal
dilution of pool water with fresh water. A build up of by
products can damage the electrolytic cell.
3. Total Alkalinity Test. Test pool water for total
alkalinity with a test kit. Take steps necessary to
maintain an alkalinity of 80 - 120 ppm (see Section
4.3).
4. Calcium Hardness. Test pool water for calcium
hardness level using test kit or by having a water
sample tested by a pool professional. Adjust as
necessary to maintain a calcium hardness of 175 -
400 ppm (see Section 4.3).

6.2 Monthly

Although the saltwater chlorine generator is equipped
with reverse polarity technology it is still necessary to
check the cell and if required clean off any build up that
may occasionally occur.
1. Check the cell. It is recommended that every
month the cell be removed and inspected for
scale formation and/or debris. If cell needs to be
cleaned, see Section 6.3 for instructions.
2. Salt Level Test. Use salinity test strips, a TDS/
salinity meter, or another reliable method to test
the salinity of the pool water. Once the existing
salinity has been established, use Table 1 to
determine the amount of salt to add to reach the
desired level. Be conservative when adding salt as
it is easier to add more if needed than it is to dilute
if there is too much salt. If the salinity level in the
pool is correct and the salt LED does not go out,
see Section 7: Troubleshooting.
3. Pool Water Sample. Take water sample to local
pool store for testing.
4. Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid). Test pool water
stabilizer (cyanuric acid) level using a test kit
or by having a water sample tested by a pool
professional. Maintain ideal range of 10 - 50 ppm.
Follow your pool professional's recommendations.
For indoor pools, it is not necessary to add
chlorine stabilizer to the swimming pool water.
