3.
Total Alkalinity Test:
professional's recommendations. 80-120 PPM APSP Standard.
4.
Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid):
having a water sample tested by a pool professional. Maintain ideal range of 50-75 PPM. Follow your
pool professional's recommendations.
5.
Calcium Hardness:
sample tested by a pool professional. If necessary, adjust according to your pool professional's
recommendations. APSP standard of 200-400 PPM is recommended.
6. It is recommended that the pool water be tested periodically for the presence of metals
Metals Test:
such as copper, iron, and manganese. These metals should not be present in the pool water. If those
metals are present, contact the your pool professional.

Cell Usage Hours Meter

IntelliChlor provides a built-in cell "usage hours" meter that reports how many hours IntelliChlor has been
operating. The cell is designed to operate for approximately 10,000 hours before replacement is needed or
roughly five years of average use.
To access the system status mode:
1. Press and hold the MORE button for three seconds until the lights scroll across the unit.
2. One of the five Output LED indicators (20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%) will be lit, indicating the
hours of usage. The Output LEDs are as follows:
• 2000 hours (20% LED on)
• 4000 hours (40% LED on)
• 6000 hours (60% LED on)
• 8000 hours (80% LED on)
• 10,000 hours (100% LED on)

Electrolytic Cell Cleaning

1. Automatic Cleaning. This unit has an automatic cell-cleaning feature (Cell Reversing) that removes
scale deposits from the electrolytic cell. Note Automatic Cleaning does not interrupt Chlorine
Production. "Scale" is a white crusty deposit that forms in excessively hard water or from pool
water that is out of balance and in a scaling condition. If the cell shows excessive scaling, you need
to perform an acid wash cleaning. Proceed to "Acid Wash Cleaning," Step 2.
2. Acid Wash Cleaning. If the electrolytic cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that every
two months the cell be removed and inspected for scale formation and/or debris. Some filters allow
debris to pass through to the cell, possibly lodging between the plates in the cell. A small amount of
scale formation is normal. If by looking through the cell it is observed that there is excessive scale
formation between the plates or debris is present, the cell must be cleaned as follows:
a. Use a high-pressure jet of water from a garden hose. If the cell cannot be reasonably cleaned in this
manner, acid cleaning is necessary.
