Page 2: Preface
Preface PREFACE Resilience D (model PSC5) is an automatic natural chlorine generator for pool sanitation. The system uses a very low concentration of salt (less than the concentration in a human teardrop) and converts it into free chlorine that destroys algae and bacteria in the pool. After removing the algae and bacteria, the chlorine reverts back into salt. This process of purification continues, making the need of adding extra sanitizing chemicals to the pool virtually unnecessary. - Page 3 Preface ● Wiring of the unit must be performed according to the wiring instructions detailed in this manual or on the front box cover. ● Build-up of flammable fumes can result in a hazardous condition if the cell is allowed to operate without flow.

Page 17: Starting Up
Starting up STARTING UP BEFORE ADDING THE SALT 1. Balance the chemicals: See the section titled "Understanding the chemistry" on page 35 for recommended water balance. Remove metals from the water using a phosphate-free metal remover and test the water to ensure that phosphate levels are lower than 100 ppb (parts per billion). -
Page 18: Adding The Salt
Starting up ADDING THE SALT 1. Measure the pre-existing salinity of your pool. Previous chlorine use may cause the salinity reading to be higher due to residual salt in the chlorine. 2. Determine how much salt is needed from the Salinity Demand Table on the page 19. This table is based on a salt concentration of 3500 ppm (approximately ⅓... -

Page 20: Operating Instructions
Operating instructions OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FILTRATION Proper filtration is critical for maintaining clean and healthy water. It is typically required in the pool industry that all the water of the pool pass through the filter at least one and a half (1½) times per day (at least eight hours in most pools). -
Page 21: Basic Operation
Basic operation BASIC OPERATION The natural chlorine generator produces a pure form of chlorine to sanitize and oxidize the pool water. The chlorine residual needs to be maintained at 1 to 3 ppm. This may be tested using a standard kit or by your local pool store. To obtain the optimal residual buildup of chlorine, the best time to run your filter is in the early morning and after 4pm when there is less UV to destroy the chlorine produced, leaving chlorine in the pool to oxidize the unwanted foreign matter. -

Questions and answers
I have a Resilience D-Series which has stopped generating chlorine. The display is showing a wrench in the special icons section on the right side of the display. What does that mean? What do I need to do to fix this when the wrench icon is showing? By the way, the cell was replaced back in 2022, so it should still be fine. See attached image.
