Page 20: Chlorine Testing
4.7.2 What Type of Salt to Use • The purer the salt, the better the life and performance of the electrolytic cell. Use a salt that is at least 99.8% pure NaCl. The salt is an evaporated, granulated, food quality, non-iodized salt. Consult your salt supplier. • Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents (sodium ferrocyanide, also known as YPS or yellow prussiate of soda) that could cause some discoloration of fittings and surface finishes in pool. • Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms of evaporated salt and may be used but will take longer to dissolve. • Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt. Use sodium chloride only. • Do not use rock salt because insoluble impurities mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit. CAUTION It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).

Page 21: How Much Salt To Use
Page 21 4.7.3 How Much Salt to Use Use salinity test strips, a TDS/salinity meter, or another reliable method to test the salinity of the pool water. Once the existing salinity has been established, use Table 1 to determine the amount of salt to add to reach the desired level. Be conservative when adding salt as it is easier to add more if needed than it is to dilute if there is too much salt. • 4,000 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions. • Low salt concentration below 3,000 ppm will cause premature cell failure. • High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause corrosion damage to pool fixtures. 4.7.4 How to Add Salt to the Pool 1. - Page 22 Page 22 Table 2.

If the cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that every month the cell be removed and inspected for scale formation and/or debris. Some filters allow debris to pass through to the cell which could lodge between the plates... -
Page 27: Winterizing
Page 27 6.4 Winterizing Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Below 51°F (11°C), chlorine production is not permitted; operating the chlorinator in cold water might result in over-chlorinated pool water. If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water may cause severe damage to the cell. Prevent freeze damage to the cell by running pump continuously or winterize pool by draining water from pump, filter, and all intake and return lines. Remove the cell, clean and store it indoors. Coil the cell leads, wrap in plastic and tape to the power pack. An optional winterizing cap is available to replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance. This will enable pool pump to circulate water with the cell out the of line. When a FREEZE CONTROLLER is used on pump equipment and the chlorinator is run through the winter, turn the CHLORINE PRODUCTION down to 10 - 20%. Otherwise, chlorine production will exceed the recommended level of 1 - 3 ppm. -
