Controller only has power switch light on. Can't turn it off and no other buttons work. Is there a fuse or something that needs replacing?

  • Page 5: System Overview

    RJ SERIES SYSTEM OVERVIEW RJ-Series The Generation system utilizes two main components for operation: 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. Electrolytic Cell: This component creates chlorine as the water inside passes through and returns to the pool.
  • Page 6: Water Chemistry & Salt Levels

    WATER CHEMISTRY & SALT LEVELS Preparing the Pool Water RJ-Series It is important that the pool's water chemistry is balanced before the is powered on and used. In order for the system to be able to work, there must be a minimum level of salt in the pool water, see “Salt Levels”...
  • 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 RJ-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

    CONTROL BUTTONS: 1) ON/OFF : For normal operation, the system should be left in the “On” position. In this position, the CircuPool RJ Series will produce chlorine according to the desired output %. When using an external timer to provide power, the system will return to the last settings entered each time power is restored.

    Polarity two. This reading may also vary somewhat from independent tests done at the pool store or at poolside. Most electronic testers are subject to a variation of up to fifteen percent. The CircuPool unit works well in a wide salinity range so a great deal of precision is not required. High salt conditions will not harm your CircuPool unit.
  • 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 “Water Fault”...
  • 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.

    INSTALLATION RJ-Series IMPORTANT: If you haven’t already done so, it is necessary to balance the pool's water chemistry before the 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. If 1.5”...
  • Page 15: Installing The Electrolytic Cell And Flow Switch

    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

    Wiring CAUTION: Power must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure to follow local and NEC/CEC electrical codes. The system has been designed to easily wire into typical in-ground pool systems. To provide safe operation, the unit must be properly grounded and bonded. For operation, the Control Module must be wired in to the pump's power source so that both turn on and off together (see diagram below).
  • Page 17 Wiring (Continued) For use with Variable Speed Pumps: When used with variable-speed or other electronically controlled pumps, use a timer to coordinate SJ run time with full-flow pump operation. Power Protection Mechanism: The Control Module has a power protection mechanism, an external Fuse Reset button located on underside of unit.
  • Page 18: Voltage Conversion

    VOLTAGE CONVERSION 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. All service should only be attempted by a person with appropriate electrical skills, with all equipment disconnected from power.

    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.

    TROUBLESHOOTING For more detailed information and extensive troubleshooting, visit www.circupool.com/help. Power LED and LCD Screen Not Turning On • Double verify whether connected to 120 or 240 VAC input power • Verify connection internally to the proper screw terminals. • Verify input voltage with a voltmeter.
