This component ensures that there is adequate water flow for the Cell to activate. It also contains additional sensors that ensure optimal operation of the Cell. Cleaning Tool: CircuPool SJ Series This component is unique to the and allows for simple acid-free maintenance of the Cell. -
Page 6: Water Chemistry & Salt Levels
WATER CHEMISTRY & SALT LEVELS Preparing the Pool Water SJ-Series It is important that the pool's water chemistry is balanced before the is powered on and used. In order for the system to be able to work, there must be a minimum level of salt in the pool water, see “Salt Levels”... -

Adding Salt IMPORTANT: Before adding salt at any time, ALWAYS perform an independent water test to measure pre-existing salt levels. If the salt level (PPM) in your pool is currently… 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000... -
Page 8: Ideal Water Chemistry Levels
Ideal Water Chemistry Levels It is important to maintain these chemistry levels in order to ensure that the pool can be enjoyed safely, to minimize the amount of effort required to sanitize the water, and to prevent corrosion or scaling. The only unique requirement for a pool with a chlorine generator is the low level of salt (salinity) to be maintained in the water. -
Page 9: Operation
OPERATION How it works SJ-Series Think of the as a chlorine generator; set it to create a steady supply of chlorine for the pool, instead of buying and adding chlorine by hand. How it works: Using electrolysis, it creates chlorine from the salt molecules (NaCL) in your water in order to sanitize your pool. -
Page 10: Using The Control Module
Using the Control Module CONTROLS: 1) Chlorine Output Level: Press the “-” or “+” buttons to adjust the current level of chlorine output (the rate of chlorine production). Displayed on the LED indicators in the graph above, this is the system's power setting that you will choose in order to customize operation for your pool's needs. - Page 11 7) Generate: This light will illuminate when the system is actively generating chlorine. IMPORTANT: The Generate light will NOT always be on. It will be on less frequently the lower you set the chlorine output setting (example: at 50% output, the Generate light will be on 3 hours and then rest for 3 hours).

Page 12: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Expected Maintenance Monitor your pool’s salinity level as frequently as you check your other water chemistry levels. After the system has run for a time, your cell will eventually need to be cleaned due to natural mineral scaling. The system will notify you of this by turning on the “Cell”... - Page 13 IMPORTANT: If mineral build-up is severe, more than one cleaning may be necessary to dissolve remaining solids. If you can see any remaining scaling, debris, or physical blockages through Cell, flush the cell well with a garden hose nozzle. Repeat the cleaning process if needed. Note: Cleaning this cell is only necessary to remove an excessive build-up of minerals on the plates.

When the titanium blades inside the Electrolytic Cell have reached the end of their lifespan, replacements are readily available so that the whole system does not have to be replaced. Replacements are easily switched out. To ensure quality and value, only genuine CircuPool replacement parts may be used. -
Page 15: Installation
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: If you haven’t already done so, it is necessary to balance the pool's water chemistry before the SJ-Series is powered on and used. See pages 6 - 8 for more information. The following are guidelines for the typical installation using 2” plumbing, which should be performed by a qualified individual. -
Page 16: Installing The Electrolytic Cell
Installing the Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch The Cell and Flow Switch are to be fitted into the return line as the last pieces of equipment the water passes through before returning to the pool: always after the pump, filter, heater (if applicable), etc. If a heater is present, all equipment must be a minimum distance away, per heater manufacturer recommendations. -
Page 17: Installing The Control Module
Installing the Control Module Mount the Control Module as close to the pump and filtration system as possible. For safety concerns, do not install the Control Module within 10 feet of the pool edges, and follow all applicable codes. Verify that the Cell cable can reach the Control Module from the section of pipe selected for plumbing. - Page 18 Wiring (Continued) Wiring to Power Source: The Control Module uses a switch-mode power supply designed to automatically accept either 120VAC or 220VAC (no internal adjustments are needed). The Control Module comes with an un-terminated Power Cord (AC Input) which must be connected to an external timer, which will turn the pump and Control Module on and off together.

HELPFUL HINTS For more detailed information and useful tips, visit www.circupool.com/help. Proper operation of the chlorine generator can be easily verified by checking the lights on the control panel. However, if the pool remains cloudy, or the chlorine residual tests low, then the chlorine being produced is being lost due to high chlorine demand or improper water conditions. -
