3.5 Chlorine Output Level The LED lights on the user panel set the desired output level or chlorine level. As shown below, the bottom right hand corner of the LCD display indicates the actual level as distinct from the set or desired output indicated by the LED lights. The chlorinator output, or chlorine production, will be affected by water temperature, salt levels and the input voltage of the chlorinator.
3.6 Safety Backwash When backwashing your sand filter, the pool water does not pass through the cell. During the backwash and rinse process, most chlorinators will build up potentially explosive hydrogen gas in the Chlorinator Cell. The Safety Backwash function allows the pump to turn on without applying power to the Chlorinator Cell.
Your SALT EXPERT Chlorinator must be run every day to ensure that your pool is correctly sanitised. As the sun dissipates chlorine, running times are higher in the summer compared to the winter. Certikin recommend that you initiall y run you chlorinator at maximum output Summer You should set your Chlorinator to operate for 8 to 10 hours per day.
