Regarding Extended Pool Filtration cycles, and Low Flow Rate conditions
THE AMOUNT OF CHLORINE PRODUCED BY YOUR SALT CHLORINE GENERATING SYSTEM IS DEPENDENT ON THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT YOUR FILTER
PUMP RUNS EVERY DAY. SO, YOUR CHLORINATION SETTING SHOULD BE MATCHED TO THE FILTER PUMP RUN TIME OF YOUR POOL.
Whether you plan to INCREASE or DECREASE the filter pump cycle on your pool, adjust the chlorination setting using the dial on your AquaRite chlorina-
tor or the up and down keys on your AquaRite Pro or ProLogic controller. By properly adjusting your setting, you are preventing the over-chlorination
or under-chlorination of your pool.
For example, If you plan on doubling the filter pump operating time (say from 8 hours/day to 16 hours/day), then reduce your chlorination setting by a
factor of 2 (say from 50% to 25%). If you plan to triple your filter pump operating time, then reduce your chlorination setting by a factor of 3. Likewise,
if you reduce your filter pump operating time (say from 12 hours/day to 8 hours/day), then increase your chlorination setting by a factor of 1.5 (i.e.
12/8=1.5)
These adjustments, while necessary and important, are APPROXIMATIONS to the actual adjustment your pool requires. After any chlorination adjust-
ment, monitor the pool's chlorine level closely for 1-2 weeks. If the readings stabilize in the 1-3 ppm range then you are all set—otherwise make
another small adjustment (up or down) to increase or decrease the chlorine level. Once the chlorinator is set, it is good practice to check your chlorine
levels weekly to ensure operation is normal.
WHEN USING 2 SPEED OR VARIABLE SPEED PUMPS ON LOW SPEED, CHECK TO BE SURE YOUR SALT CELL IS RECEIVING ADEQUATE FLOW. Low flow
conditions can result in insufficient water in the cell causing inefficient chlorine production. As a precaution, the cell can be installed vertically or in an
inverted manner (see illustration) to keep it flooded with water.
