Page 4: Introduction
Electronic Chlorine Generator. CircuPool’s high performance systems offer escape from the routine of manual pool chlorination and sanitization. The SJ Series uses a low level of salt in the pool water to continuously create free chlorine, killing bacteria and algae in the water and thereby helping to maintain a sparkling clean pool. -
Page 5: System Overview
SJ SERIES SYSTEM OVERVIEW CircuPool SJ-Series system comes with three main components: Control Module Electrolytic Cell Cleaning Tool Control Module: This component supplies power to the Cell and allows you to customize the system's operation in order to meet your pool's unique needs. -
Page 6: Water Chemistry & Salt Levels
Ideal Salt Levels & Pool Size The CircuPool SJ-Series can work within a broad salinity range, from a minimum of 3500 ppm (parts per million), to upwards of 5000 ppm. However, the ideal level for operation is around 4000-4500 ppm. To achieve this level of salinity, use the chart on page 7, which will help you add approximately 35 lbs of salt for every 1000 gallons of water (or 4 Kilograms of salt for every 1000 Liters). -
Page 7: Adding Salt
Adding Salt IMPORTANT: Before adding salt at any time, ALWAYS perform an independent water test to measure pre-existing salt levels. If the salt level (PPM) in your pool is currently… 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000... -
Page 8: Ideal Water Chemistry Levels
Ideal Water Chemistry Levels It is important to maintain these chemistry levels in order to ensure that the pool can be enjoyed safely, to minimize the amount of effort required to sanitize the water, and to prevent corrosion or scaling. The only unique requirement for a pool with a chlorine generator is the low level of salt (salinity) to be maintained in the water. -
Page 9: Operation
OPERATION How it works SJ-Series Think of the as a chlorine generator; set it to create a steady supply of chlorine for the pool, instead of buying and adding chlorine by hand. How it works: Using electrolysis, it creates chlorine from the salt molecules (NaCL) in your water in order to sanitize your pool. -
Page 10: Using The Control Module
Using the Control Module CONTROLS: 1) Chlorine Output Level: The LED indicators display the current level of chlorine output (the rate of chlorine production). This is the system's power setting that you will choose in order to customize operation for your pool's needs 2) Power : The green power LED indicator is illuminated during normal operation. - Page 11 Using the Control Module (Continued) The SJ-Series is designed to be unrivaled in its easy operation and minimal maintenance. Leave the Control Module switch in the "On" position, so that it activates when power is engaged by the pool pump timer or controls.

Page 12: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Expected Maintenance Monitor your pool’s salinity level as frequently as you check your other water chemistry levels. After the system has run for a time, your cell will eventually need to be cleaned due to natural mineral scaling. The system will notify you of this by turning on the Service LED light. -
Page 13: General Maintenance
When the titanium blades inside the Electrolytic Cell have reached the end of their lifespan, replacements are readily available so that the whole system does not have to be replaced. Replacements are easily switched out. To ensure quality and value, only genuine CircuPool replacement parts may be used. -
Page 14: Installation
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: If you haven’t already done so, it is necessary to balance the pool's water chemistry before the SJ-Series is powered on and used. See pages 6 - 8 for more information. The following are guidelines for the typical installation using 2” plumbing, which should be performed by a qualified individual. -
Page 15: Installing The Electrolytic Cell
Installing the Electrolytic Cell The Cell is to be fitted into the return line as the last piece of equipment the water passes through before returning to the pool: always after the pump, filter, heater (if applicable), etc. If a heater is present, all equipment must be a minimum distance away, per heater manufacturer recommendations. -
Page 16: Installing The Control Module
Installing the Control Module Mount the Control Module as close to the pump and filtration system as possible. For safety concerns, do not install the Control Module within 10 feet of the pool edges, and follow all applicable codes. Verify that the Cell cable can reach the Control Module from the section of pipe selected for plumbing. - Page 17 Wiring (Continued) Wiring to Power Source: Always double-check the voltage of your power source. Connection to improper voltage can: a) cause severe damage/harm, or b) cause lights and screen to power on without system function. The SJ-Series is shipped from the factory with a 240 VAC configuration. If 120VAC is needed, move the internal jumpers as shown on page 18 (the white wire on the power cord becomes the neutral).
-
Page 18: Voltage Conversion
All service should only be attempted by a person with appropriate electrical skills, with all equipment disconnected from power. The SJ Series is shipped from the factory with a 240 VAC configuration unless specially ordered. If 120VAC is needed, move the internal jumpers as shown below. If unsure, seek professional advice. -

HELPFUL HINTS For more detailed information and useful tips, visit www.circupool.com/help. Proper operation of the chlorine generator can be easily verified by checking the lights on the control panel. However, if the pool remains cloudy, or the chlorine residual tests low, then the chlorine being produced is being lost due to high chlorine demand or improper water conditions. -
