Since the power output to the electrode is constant for the entire generation process, the power level Since the power output to the electrode is constant for the entire generation process, the power level
instead indicates how much time the ChlorMaker generates chlorine each time it turns on. The longer it instead indicates how much time the ChlorMaker generates chlorine each time it turns on. The longer it
runs, the more chlorine it adds to your spa. For example, the factory setting of 3 indicates that the runs, the more chlorine it adds to your spa. For example, the factory setting of 3 indicates that the
ChlorMaker will run for 15 minutes per 3-hour cycle. ChlorMaker will run for 15 minutes per 3-hour cycle.
