Operation and Maintenance
Once installed, the Polaris AutoClearPLUS will continuously use existing salt in the pool to
provide chlorination.
LED Bar Graph Display
Consisting of three green lights, three yellow and two
red lights, this display provides a quick visual reference of
current salt levels in the pool.
Proper salt concentration is indicated when all lights
are lit. As salt levels decrease, the green lights will go dark.
For normal operation, at least one green light should be lit.
When only yellow and red lights are lit, check salt levels and
adjust to regain a concentration of 3000-3500 ppm (3250
ppm is the optimum level).
Test Button
Press test button to display the current salt level (ppm), the
output amps, voltage and the operational status code.

Optimizing Performance
To optimize system performance and extend the life of the cell:
•
Keep pool water balanced, maintaining salt levels at the optimum level of 3250 ppm and
stabilizer (cyanuric acid) at levels appropriate for the regional climate.
•
Adjust system run time (percentage on automated systems) and consequent chlorine
output to correspond with chlorine demand. Lengthen run times for heavy bather activity,
sunny days and water temperatures above 85° F. Shorten run times for in-door pools that
are shielded from the sun and require less sanitizer or for cooler water temperatures in
the off season. See Run Time Recommendations table in Reference section.
Always adjust/readjust pump cycles to match or exceed system run time.
•
Maintain chlorine levels of 1.0 - 3.0. Chlorine levels above 3.0 ppm at a pH below 7.2 are
known to cause corrosion of pool metals.
•
Do not use copper-based algaecides or salt with anti-caking agents.
•
Do not add bi-carb or calcium chloride directly to skimmer while AutoClearPLUS is running.
•
Do not operate system if water temperature is below 55° F or salt concentration is less
than 2200 ppm.
If the pool water appears cloudy or algae forms, test water for all values and make
adjustments as necessary to balance. The AutoClearPLUS system is not designed to
balance pool water. To eliminate a full algae bloom, superchlorinate (shock) the pool.
