    IntelliChlor SCG Control Panel and Cell Description The IntelliChlor SCG includes a control panel with buttons and LED indicators to control the IntelliChlor SCG and produce chlorine (see page 7). The IntelliChlor SCG measures the water temperature and salt level to produce chlorine at the defined output. If the salt level in the pool water is too low (red on salt display), the cell is turned off until salt is added to the pool.

  • Page 17: Chlorine Testing

    Chlorine Testing It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two (2) locations in the pool. Compare the samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the IntelliChlor SCG is producing chlorine.

  • Page 18: Calculating The Saturation Index

    Calculating the Saturation Index The saturation index is a formula that measures a solution ability to dissolve or deposit calcium carbonate and is used as an indicator of the corroosivity of the solution and temperature. A well balanced water will have a formula result ranging between -0.3 and +0.3 Outside this range, the pool water is considered out of balance, The equation to calculate Si is: potentially damaging pool equipment or scaling the IntelliChlor SCG.
