Page 14: General Information On Water Care
GENERAL INFORMATION ON WATER CARE A basic knowledge of pool-care fundamentals will allow some insight in to the function of the various pieces of equipment and chemicals used in and around your pool. The four fundamental requirements in maintaining a pool or any body of water are: 1. - Page 15 The acid/alkaline balance of water is measured using the pH scale. PH 14 is alkaline, 0 is acid and 7 is neutral. PH control is the third essential element to good pool care. Within the pH range of 7.0 to 8.0 chlorine will work as a bleach and sterilizer and the precipitates formed will be at their maximum size.
-
Page 16: Conclusions
The pool water passing over the cell should always be in balance relating to the Langlier Index for a pH of 7.2 to 7.6. NOTE: CONTINUAL RUNNING OF THE UNIT WITH A PH HIGHER THAN 7.8 AND FREE CHLORINE OF >5.00PPM WILL CASUE CELL DAMAGE AND VOID ALL CELL WARRANTY. -
Page 17: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Before performing pool maintenance, vacuuming etc. Ensure that the timer is not, and will not, be supplying power to the chlorinator during maintenance period (refer setting of timer – page 10. 1. Turn the Chlorine Level Control to minimum – off – position, fully anticlockwise. -
