Autopilot Pool Pilot Professional PPP-2 Owners & Installation Manual page 7

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The Pool Pilot
l
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be tested on a routine basis. To test,
push the GFCI test button. Power should be interrupted. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If
the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, it is defective.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - If the ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) interrupts power to the
l
equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing with a possibility of an electrical
shock. Do not use equipment. Disconnect the equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.
CHEMICAL HAZARD - To avoid damaging splashes, always add acid to water, never water to acid. Wear
l
safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection equipment.
CHEMICAL HAZARD - Always follow the instructions on the manufacturer's label whenever handling or
l
using chemicals.
CHEMICAL HAZARD – Heavy pool (or spa) usage and higher temperatures may require a higher chlorine
l
output in order to maintain proper free available chlorine residuals.
WATER CHEMISTRY SAFETY - Improper water chemistry can present a serious health hazard. The
l
proper residual chlorine level and water chemistry must be maintained. The addition of certain pool
maintenance chemicals can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. Maintain pool / spa water per standards
detailed later in this manual.
COMBUSTIBLE HAZARD – The AutoPilot
l
automatically turns the unit off in the event of a "low water flow" situation. Do not tamper in any way with this
safety feature.
CHEMICAL HAZARD – CHLORINE GAS BUILDUP CAN OCCUR WITH IMPROPER WIRING: To reduce
l
the risk of personal injury the Pool Pilot
time clock, electronically controlled switch, or relay load side, so that it will receive power only when the pool
pump is on. Dangerous chlorine gas buildup can occur. The Pool Pilot
pool pump is OFF and there is no water flow.
PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this device.
l
RISK OF CHILD DROWNING OR INJURY - Children must be closely supervised at all times around pool or
l
spa equipment.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
®
The Pool Pilot must be installed and operated as specified. Failure to do so will void the equipment
l
warranty.
To permit proper air circulation, the Pool Pilot
l
ground level or any other air flow obstruction.
Special measures are required in the event of freezing conditions. Your chlorinator may be damaged if
l
measures are not taken in advance of freezing conditions. Equipment damage due to freezing conditions is
NOT covered under the equipment warranty.
Do not use a pool cleaner or vacuum head with wheels, as wheels can leave track marks on newly-plastered
l
pools. Do not allow Granular salt to pile up in one location without brushing, as staining may occur.
For all newly constructed or resurfaced plaster pools: Do not operate the Pool Pilot
l
resurfaced pool plaster. Before adding salt and operating the chlorinator, wait 30 days after construction is
completed to allow proper curing of the surface material. Follow the pool surface manufacturer's guidelines
for your specific pool. FOR NEW VINYL LINER POOLS, contact the manufacturer for recommended
instructions before adding salt and operating the Pool Pilot
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the recommended level of salt for your AutoPilot
l
should not damage your equipment, excessively high chlorine levels can cause corrosion damage to pool
fixtures and equipment. Consult your pool professional for equipment selection, proper use and
maintenance of these products.
For maximum cell life, maintain water in a balanced condition according to the Saturation Index. Water
l
maintained in a scaling condition will shorten cell life and may render the Pool Pilot
and / or service calls, caused by improper water balance will NOT be covered under the equipment
warranty.
