Page 4: Water Chemistry
Water Chemistry CAUTION: Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that can damage the chlorinator cell. CHEMISTRY TIPS New Pool Water: A recently filled or newly-refinished pool may contain undesirable matter. This undesirable matter could interfere with the CFICGEN’s ability to chlorinate properly. Make sure the water is tested by a pool professional and properly balanced before switching on the CFICGEN. - Page 5 or clarity, the pool water professional testing for TDS must be made aware the salt has been added to the CFICGEN system. The individual performing the TDS test (see page 17) may then subtract the salinity level to arrive at a TDS level that would be compatible to a TDS reading with a non-salt water pool.
- Page 6 salt pellets; however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt with more than 1% yellow prussiate of soda (sodium ferrocyanide), salt with more than 1% of anti-caking additives, or iodized salt. FOR ALL NEWLY SURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate the CFICGEN with a newly surfaced pool plaster.
- Page 7 Cyanuric acid in the form of cyanurate ions which contributes to alkalinity. Thus, a correction must be made to total alkalinity. We subtract 1/3 of the cyanuric acid level from the reading obtained in the total alkalinity test. Total Alkalinity - 1/3 Cyanuric Acid = Corrected Alkalinity This correction can be considerable in established pools with high cyanuric acid levels;...

Page 11: Introduction Salt Chlorinator
Introduction: CFICGEN Salt Chlorinator The CFICGEN chlorine generator, by electrolysis, creates chlorine to sanitize your pool from the salt molecules (NaCl) in your water. A small electric charge is applied across a set of titanium plates inside the Electrolytic Cell. This produces Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl). In water, Sodium Hypochlorite dissociates into sodium (NA+) and hypochlorite (OCl-) ions. -
Page 12: Installation
Mark: The salt reading is around +/-300 ppm accuracy. CFICGEN Dual Voltage 115V-230V Power Center: The CFICGEN Power Center is a dual voltage power supply which means both 115V/230V, and no wiring is required. The Power Supply converts AC electrical current to a low-voltage DC electrical current, which is required to produce chlorine. - Page 13 CFICGEN Installation Ensure to Install Chlorine/Bromine Feeders after the CFICGEN cell When using the CFICGEN with an in-floor cleaning system, it is recommended that a separate return line be used for the cleaner to reduce the increased water pressure stress on the CFICGEN cell. Loop Plumbing Diagram The CFICGEN is designed to operate with water flow rates from 25+/-5 gallons per minutes (GPM) up to 105 GPM.

Page 16: Operation
Operation IMPORTANT! Use of an external Pool Pump Timer is Required The CFICGEN is designed to supply a sufficient amount of chlorine to sanitize the pool water daily. If the pool pump is continuously running 24 HOURS and the CFICGEN is operated at 100%, too much chlorine would be generated than would be needed by most pools (2-4 ppm). - Page 17 For example, if salt level is at 2600 ppm, both the LED-Display and LED INSPECT SALT light will indicate that there is not enough salt in the pool to produce chlorine To set at desired output, just press the MIN or MAX button. First-time installations after running 24 hours, use a reliable test method to test the pool water for free available chlorine.

Page 18: Maintenance
Maintenance Every salt system needs maintenance during use, the following describes the recommended maintenance procedures. Weekly service pH Level Test: 7.4 to 7.6, although 7.2 to 7.8 is an acceptable range under APSP’s guidelines. Note: Never use dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal dilution of pool water with fresh water. - Page 19 manganese. These metals can damage the cell and other related pool equipment and should not be present in the pool water. If those metals are present, contact your pool professional. ● TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Test pool water for TDS level by using a test kit or by having a water sample tested by a pool professional.
- Page 20 When cleaning the CFICGEN always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Always add acid to water, do not add water to acid. ● Screw the cap with washer and O-ring onto the threaded end of the CFICGEN cell (the cap, O-ring and washer are provided with the cleaning kit).

Installation Attention: Before installation, ensure power is disconnected! Grounding (earth bonding) is required. The unit should be installed by a qualified service person and grounded. Installation should allow access to cell buttons and power center. Read Safety Precautions and Important Instructions on page Before attempting any electrical wiring, be sure to read and follow Safety Instructions. - Page 22 Connecting the CFICGEN Cell Cable to the Power Center WARNING - Switch OFF main system power to the Power Center before making any connections. 1. Be sure that AC power is switched OFF before connecting the power cord to the Power Center. 2.
