Page 4: General
G E N E R A L AquaBlue is an automatic Natural Chlorine Generator for pool sanitation. The system uses a very low concentration of salt, and converts it into chlorine that treats algae and bacteria in your pool. After treating the algae and bacteria, the chlorine reverts back into sodium chloride. -
Page 5: Adding Salt
A D D I N G S A L T Adding the salt: Turn the Control Box OFF. Failure to do so will cause the fuse to blow. Keep the pump on to circulate the water. Distribute the determined amount of salt evenly around the pool. It will take 8 hours for the salt to disperse evenly in the water. -

O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S Control Knob – The Control Knob is used to adjust chlorine production and to turn the unit on or off. To increase chlorine production, turn the Control Knob up (clockwise). - Page 7 Salinity Indicator - To check the salt level, turn the Control Knob clockwise to full power and check the light reading. 100% reading indicates that the salt level is sufficient. Return the Control Knob to the desired chlorine production setting depending on the chlorine level in your pool (10% to 100% production rate).

Page 9: Installation Instructions
I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S The system comes in three parts, the Control Box, the Cell and the Flow Sensor. Installing them in the most sheltered position will protect them from extreme weather conditions. - Page 10 I n s t a l l t h e C e l l The Cell must be installed after the filter and any heating device but before any “T” in the return line. Install the Cell either horizontally or vertically as needed. Be sure the black o-rings are firmly in place.
- Page 11 I n s t a l l t h e F l o w S e n s o r Always position the flow sensor before the Cell and If possible, install on a horizontal pipe (if installed after the Cell, damage to the flow sensor may result).

Page 12: Control Box
WIRING Control Box Wire the power cable (230 Volt) to the pump’s time clock power, so that the Control Box cannot operate without the pump operating (i.e. load side). Hardwire the power cable (230 Volt) to the time clock along with the pump’s power so that the Control Box cannot operate without the pump operating (i.e. -

Cell Ensure that the connections are perfectly clean of any debris. Connect the two black wires arriving from the Control Box to the two connectors at the sides of the Cell until they “click” together. CLICK CLICK switch Flow Connect the remaining cable to the Flow Sensor – see previews page – connectors no. -
Page 14: Maintenance
M A I N T E N A N C E Cell Maintenance Our Clear Cell allows for easy regular inspections for calcium build up. Check the Cell visually 4 times a year and clean if necessary. CAUTION: Always add acid to water, NOT water to acid Diluted muriatic solution acid: 10 parts water to 1 part acid Note: Follow the instructions of the acid manufacturer. - Page 15 Control Box Maintenance The Control Box requires no regular maintenance other than checking that the wiring between the Control Box and Cell is securely in place. It is recommended to keep the Control Box clean, dry and out of the sun. The Power Meter (Led Bar display) should read between 10% and 100%, as necessary.
