General Recommendations; General Cautions - Pentair INTELLICHLOR IC15 Installation And User Manual

General Recommendations

• After new pool construction has been completed, before installing the IntelliChlor
Generator , install the IntelliChlor SCG "dummy cell" (P/N 520588) to remove debris from the pipes
for thirty (30) days and to allow sufficient time for the pool plaster (or other similar material) to
properly cure and seal.
• Read and keep this Installation and User's Guide in a safe place.
• Increase Sanitizer Output level as necessary after heavy rain (outdoor pools) and return to normal
afterwards.
• Increase Sanitizer Output level when air and water temperature rise.
• Increase Sanitizer Output level when number of pool users increase.
• Use Cyanuric Acid ONLY as necessary to stabilize chlorine in the pool water in outdoor pools.
NOTE: DO NOT USE CYANURIC ACID IN INDOOR POOLS.
• Once a month take a pool water sample to a pool professional for a complete analysis.
Add the following statements:
• Heavy bather loads may trigger the need for additional chlorine to be added to maintain
appropriate chlorine residual in the water.
• DO NOT add pool or spa chemicals directly to the skimmer. This may damage the cell.
• Check the expiry date of the test kit as test results may be inaccurate if used after that date.
• When replacing the cell, only use replacement cells having a label that clearly states that it is a
replacement cell for the chlorine generating device IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator Model
IC15REGISTRATION NUMBER 30931, PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ACT.
• Follow all aspects of the local and Canadian Electrical Code(s) when installing this device.
• For proper sanitation, spas must be completely drained periodically. The number of days between
COMPLETE SPA DRAINAGE is equal to the volume of spa water in litres, divided by 10 times the
maximum number of daily spa users. Refill spa with water and repeat DIRECTIONS FOR USE of
the device.
• People with a medical condition should consult a physician before entering pool or spa water.
• Maximum spa water usage temperature is 40°C. Bathing in spa water at 40°C should not exceed 15
minutes."

General Cautions

• Do not get fertilizer in your pool. Fertilizers contain nitrates, which cause a high chlorine demand.
• Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal
dilution of pool water with fresh water. A buildup of byproducts can damage the SCG.
• Do not add any pool water balancing chemicals (including salt) unless the SCG is switched off.
• Do not let the Cyanuric Acid level drop below 30 ppm in outdoor pools. NOTE: DO NOT USE
CYANURIC ACID IN INDOOR POOLS.
