Pool Controls SWC Series User Manual page 16

Select this option by pressing ENT and the LCD will show the start (ON) time of the filter
cycle being adjusted. Use the Y/UP and N/DOWN buttons to adjust the start time. Press
ENT to confirm your selection and then the LCD will show the end (OFF) time for that filter
cycle. Adjust the OFF time in the same way as the ON time and press ENT to confirm.
After ON and OFF times for the first filter cycle have been adjusted, the ON time for the
second filter cycle is shown on the LCD. This can be adjusted in the same way, or if you
do not wish to make any changes, simply press ENT to confirm the time shown on the
LCD. Follow the same process to either adjust or confirm the OFF time for the second
filter cycle, and once this has been confirmed the LCD will display the home screen.
Note: an additional 2 filter cycles can be enabled and programmed via the Advance
Settings Menu – see Advanced Settings Supplementary User Manual, which can be
downloaded from poolcontrols.com.au.
Running Times
We recommend your system be operated for at least 8 hours per day and always run
the system when using the pool.
The amount of chlorine being added to the pool each day is determined by the cell size,
the chlorine output settings (See Chlorine Output Menu below) and the number of hours
that the system is operated. As sunlight destroys chlorine, it is recommended that the
system be run mostly in the evening.
Chlorine is added for sanitation but the filter is needed to remove pollutant particles (dust,
sand etc) and keep the water looking good. The filter must operate for a reasonable
number of hours per day to remove pollutants.
In very hot weather and/or with large bather loads, the pool may need to run for even
longer and if necessary, extra chlorine should also be added manually. If there are
adverse local conditions – such as windborne dust and debris - the chlorine demand will be
higher than normal and you will likely need to operate the system for longer periods to
adequately filter the water.
