- Page 2 WARNING - Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required for proper operation of the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator are relatively low when compared to sea water and other salt solutions, placing any amount of salt in your pool increases the likelihood of corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around your pool.

Page 7: Intellichlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Overview
® IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Overview The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG) salt chlorinator uses a process known as electrolysis to ® produce chlorine gas which immediately dissolves into a solution to create Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous acid pool and spa water sanitizer from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous kill bacteria, oxidizes organic material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt. -
Page 8: Intellichlor Commercial System Components
IntelliChlor Commercial System Components An IntelliChlor Commercial System components can be configured as follows: • Stand-alone - No ORP: This system consists of one CIC60P cell, one PC100 power center, and no oxidation reduction potential (ORP) sensor/panel. Chlorine is dispensed on a timed basis, set by the MORE and LESS buttons on the cell. -
Page 9: Intellichlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Control Panel And Cell Description
IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Control Panel and Cell Description The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG) includes a control panel with buttons and LED indicators to control the IECG and produce chlorine. The IECG measures the water temperature and salt level to produce chlorine at the defined output. -

Page 12: Intellichlor Plumbing Diagram (For Single Cic60 Cell System)
Loop Plumbing Diagram (For single CIC60 cell system) The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator is designed to operate with water flow rates from 25 gallons per minute (gpm) up to 105 gpm. Do not exceed 105 gpm or pipe manufacturers recommended flow rate, whichever is less. -
Page 13: Section 1: Intellichlor Control Panel
Section 1 IntelliChlor Control Panel Salt Level Status LEDs The IECG salt level checks the pool water daily and displays the levels as follows: Green LED: Good salt. The pool water salt level is between 3300 ppm and 5000, and the IECG is producing chlorine. IECG salt LED should always be showing GREEN level for better results. -
Page 14: Sanitizer Output Led Indicators
Operator Control Panel (continued) Sanitizer Output LED Indicators These five (5) LED indicators display the percentage of time chlorine is produced. For multiple cell systems, only the 100% setting is used for the CIC60P and CIC60S cells. When the dry contact wires on the PRIMARY power center are closed, the cell will go to 100% and begin producing chlorine. -

Section 2 Pool Water Chemistry, Conditions and Precautions This section describes the start up procedure and operating instructions for IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator. Pool Water Chemistry, Conditions and Precautions 1. New Pool Water: A recently filled or newly-refinished pool may contain undesirable matter. This undesirable matter could interfere with IntelliChlor’s ability to chlorinate properly. -

6. Metals - Some metals, i.e. copper and iron, can cause loss of chlorine. Also, metals can stain your pool. Metals can also damage the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator. Have your local pool professional check for metals and recommend methods of removal. 7. -
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 IECG is producing chlorine. -
Page 18: Calculating The Saturation Index
Calculating the Saturation Index The saturation index is a formula that relates pH, calcium and alkalinity in the pool water. A well balanced pool water will have a formula result range between -0.3 and 0.3 Outside this range, the pool water is out of The equation to calculate Si is: balance, potentially damaging pool equipment or scaling the IECG. -
Page 19: How To Add Salt To The Pool
How to Add Salt to the Pool CAUTION - FOR ALL NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OR RESURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate the IECG with newly poured or resurfaced pool plaster. Salt is a corrosive element and severe salt damage can occur to your pool. Wait at least ONE (1) MONTH after construction to allow plaster to cure before adding salt and operating IECG. - Page 20 Table 2.

Page 23: Section 3: Operating Intellichlor
Section 3 Operating IntelliChlor This section describes the start up procedure and operating instructions for IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG). Before starting up and operating the IECG, the pool in which the IECG will be used must have been completed and filled with water for at least one (1) month and the pool water salt level must be stable and being maintained at 3,300 to 5,000 ppm. -
Page 24: Startup Procedure (Super Chlorination)
• Operate the pool pump at least the minimum time needed for good filtration and adequate chlorine production by the IECG, according to your pool professional’s recommendations. • While pool pump timers can reduce energy consumption, the pool pump must be running for the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator to provide chlorine and must remain running long enough to maintain proper chlorine levels (i.e., 2.0 - 4.0 ppm of free available chlorine). -
Page 25: General Recommendations
General Recommendations • After new pool construction has been completed, before installing the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator, install the IntelliChlor “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. - Page 26 Blank Page IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Installation and User’s Guide...
