Boost Mode & Power Level Times
Activating Boost Mode will start a chlorine production cycle. To activate Boost Mode simply press the Boost
Mode Button, the GREEN
IMPORTANT: The MegaChlor can't make chlorine faster. The Boost Mode simply turns it on for a single
cycle. If the pool chlorine has dropped to 0 PPM from heavy usage, chlorine may need to be added.
If currently in a production cycle pressing the Boost button will terminate the production cycle and place the
MegaChlor in standby mode for 3 hours. The boost button is an easy way to start or stop a chlorine
production cycle. When Boost Mode is active, the salt level light will flash.
Electrode Life Span Indicator
This feature tracks the amount of time the MegaChlor electrode has been actively producing chlorine. The
typical life span of the electrode is 7,000 hours of chlorine production. The life span indicator is displayed
by a series of flashing lights that represent the percentage of electrode life used.
1. Press the Boost and Down arrow at the same time.
The following lights will flash to indicate the percentage used:
GREEN
BLUE
RED
Example: (5)
2. When electrode life has reached 90%, the
in standby instead of one flash. This is your reminder that the electrode is almost at end of life, so it
is time to order a replacement electrode.
3. Reset the indicator: Press all three buttons at the same time to zero out the indicator. This should
be done when replacing the electrode.
MegaChlor CD: Chlorine Control
When using the MCCD-Electrode the MegaChlor will control the start of a production cycle based on the
chlorine level reaching a low enough level and a 3 hour minimum off time from the previous production
cycle. The MegaChlor control box works with either electrode: MC-Electrode = standard drape over
electrode without the chlorine sensor, MCCD-Electrode = electrode with the chlorine sensor. Both
electrodes have the same chlorine production rate.
Reading the flashing color values: Count the
