Center. pool pump is on. IntelliChlor IC20, IC40 IC60 Power Center (Model PC 100) IntelliChlor Power Supply The IntelliChlor Power Supply converts AC electrical current to a low-voltage AC electrical current which is required to produce chlorine. The Power Supply is connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the IECG only operates when the pool pump is on. -

Install Chlorine/Bromine Feeders after the IntelliChlor Cell - To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliChlor cell, automatic in-line chlorine/bromine feeders CAUTION (such as Pentair Water Pool and Spa Rainbow models) MUST be installed AFTER the IntelliChlor cell as ® shown below. When using the IntelliChlor with an in-floor cleaner pressure system, it is recommended that a separate return line be used for the cleaner to reduce the increased water pressure stress on the IntelliChlor cell. -
Page 11: Loop Plumbing Diagram
Loop Plumbing Diagram 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. For flow rates over 80 gpm, it is recommend that you use a bypass loop (as shown below) for best chlorine production. - Page 12 Blank Page IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Installation and User’s Guide...

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 2800 ppm and 4500, and the IECG is producing chlorine. IECG salt LED should always be showing GREEN level for better results. -

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 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 (for plaster pools) and the pool water salt level must be stable and being maintained at 3,000 to 3,500 ppm. -
Page 24: Startup Procedure (Super Chlorination)
Try initially setting the pool pump timer to twelve (12) hours. It will take a few days to achieve the correct amount of pool pump operating time. When IntelliChlor is wired with a pool pump timer results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with your pool professional. -
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...
