Salt Requirement - ControlOMatic MegaChlor Operating Instructions Manual

Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. Do to the popularity of salt pools there are
now many stores that carry pool salt. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt but it may take this
type of salt longer to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow prussiate of soda colored salt. Salt is added to the
pool or spa water and the electrolytic cell will use this salt to make chlorine. The salt range for the MegaChlor
is 3000 to 4000 PPM. The salt is constantly recycled, salt is lost only when pool water is removed from
splashing or people getting out of the water. Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
Adding Salt
1. Turn on the circulation system for the pool or spa
2. Make sure the MegaChlor is off until the salt is completely dissolved
3. Determine the amount of salt to add. Keep in mind that there may already be some salt in the water,
especially if the water was supplied through a water softener
4. Evenly spread the salt around the inside perimeter of the pool
5. Salt can be added in the skimmer. Make sure the salt doesn't overfill the skimmer or the pump may loose
prime.
6. Once dissolved, turn the MegaChlor on.

Calculating Required Salt
1. Calculate the volume of water. If you don't have the information there are many pool water volume
calculators on the Internet.
2. Multiply gallons by 0.025 for pounds or liters by 0.003 for Kgs
MegaChlor is equipped with a 110/220 VAC Auto-Sensing Power Supply allowing MegaChlor to be installed
on almost any pool or spa. Please follow the installation instructions below. The power supply is not an
outdoor supply and needs to have protection from the environment.
Input Requirements: 100 to 240 VAC, 1.8A, 50-60 HZ. Output 12 VDC 5.0A, 60 Watts Maximum
Control Box
Locate a suitable location for the control box meeting the following conditions:
1. Close enough to the water for the 15 foot cell cable to reach the water
2. Close enough to a GFCI protected outlet
3. Not in direct sunlight. If in direct sunlight that may shorten the life of the controller
