Models
Congratulations on your purchase of a new CircuPool GEN-Series Replacement Cell! Please take a moment to familiarize
yourself with your equipment and this User Guide. This aftermarket Cell was designed to provide optimal performance and
reliability. Ensure that you have read and follow all instructions from your original salt chlorine generator system,
including important instructions for safety and operation (refer to original system manufacturer documentation/website).
CELL INSTALLATION
•
IMPORTANT: Always make sure the input power is completely disconnected and all pool equipment is shut off
before attempting any service procedures. All service should be performed by a qualified professional.
•
IMPORTANT: Before installing your new cell, make sure that pool's salinity is between 2700-3400ppm.
•
Remove the old Cell from the plumbing by loosening the threaded collars on both ends of the Cell. Disconnect the
Cell Cord from the control panel.
•
Inspect the O-Rings on the plumbing unions. If damaged or worn, replace before installing the new Cell.
•
Position the new CircuPool GEN-Series Replacement Cell between the plumbing unions. The cell is not directional.
Tighten the two threaded collars by hand for a water-tight seal, do not over-tighten. Plug the Cell Cord into the
control panel.
•
Once power is restored to the control panel (concurrently with the pump and filter), the system can now be
operated as instructed in the original manufacturer's product manual.
NOTE: If your control panel was previously reading incorrectly salt levels, it should recalibrate within 24-48 hours.
NOTE: If you are replacing the same size cell, there are no software compatibility issues. If you are using the CircuPool
GEN-15 to replace a smaller size cell (cell type setting "t-9 or "t-3", for example), be sure to change the "Cell Type"
setting on your original electronic controls to match (only control units made after 2009 with firmware 1.5 or later
have this ability). Please see the electronic controls original manufacturer's product manual for specific instructions.
MAINTENANCE
The CircuPool Replacement Cell operates in the same way as your original Cell. As with your prior system, it may occasionally
be necessary to remove the mineral deposits which can form inside. Cleaning frequency is entirely dependent on your pool's
water chemistry, which depending on environment and chemicals added, can change to become more or less scale forming.
Follow the cleaning instructions in the original manufacturer's product manual, or visit www.circupool.com/help for more
recommendations.
When your cell is depleted, the electronic controls typically display a low salt and/or inspect cell warning, even after
thorough cell cleanings and independent verification that the pool has proper salinity. It is helpful to note that if low residual
chlorine levels in the pool are present and no warning lights are present, this typically indicates that chlorine demand is
exceeding chlorine production from issues such as but not limited to: insufficient operation high bather usage, organic
waste, inclement weather, high / low pH, high / low cyanuric acid, the presence of phosphates or nitrates, or more.
