DESCRIPTION GENERAL INFORMATION The NEXGEN system is an on-site sodium hypochlorite generator designed for commercial swimming pool applications. Depending on the model, the NEXGEN can produce up to 120 pounds of equivalent chlorine per day. The system manufactures bleach continuously from a salt concentration of 5000ppm to 7000ppm and uses the water from the pool as a raw material.
PRINCIPALS OF OPERATION Production Tank Assembly The production tank assembly consists of a polyethylene tank, external electrolytic cells, a circulation pump and heat exchanger. Pool water from the pool return line is fed into the production tank. The circulation pump circulates water through the electrolytic cells and heat exchanger.

THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MUST MATCH THE SYSTEM RATED VOLTAGE AND CURRENT.
BONDING Connect a minimum 8awg bonding wire to the bonding lug on the bottom of the electrical enclosure. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Hydrogen Vent to outside atmosphere ChlorKing Salt NEX-GEN 50 SM Tank NEX-GEN Pump Acid Plumbing Layout Overflow pressure Tank Field Installation switch.
PLUMBING THE CHEMICAL METERING VENTURI It is important that the Chemical Metering Venturi is plumbed correctly, or the system will not function properly, and the warranty will be void. The chemical metering venturi injector requires a pressure differential across the venturi to achieve the rated chemical flow.
Page 15
PLUMBING Plumb the inlet of the venturi to the booster pump which is connected to the return line of the pool after all other pool components such as heaters etc. NEXGEN50: Use a minimum of 2” inch PVC pipe for this connection. NEXGEN100: Use a minimum of 3”...
PLUMBING THE PRESSURE SWITCH Pressure Switch Connection Connect the pressure switch to the return line with ¼ tubing (not supplied) and the ¼ inch valve supplied. The pressure connection should provide a minimum of 5 psi when the pool pump is on, and pressure should be less than 3 psi when the pool pumps are off.
the Saturated Salt Feeder water supply to the fitting on the chemical metering assembly using ½ inch tubing. Note: The NEXGEN50 has one salt pump and the NEXGEN100 has two salt pumps. PLUMBING THE PRODUCTION TANK OVERFLOW Install the overflow with the T provided in the installation kit. This T will remain open on top to prevent syphoning in case of tank overflow.
PREPARING THE pH NEUTRAL SYSTEM Before use, remove the pH probe from the top of the production tank and remove the cover from the end of the pH probe. Re-install the probe. Plumb the suction port of the peristaltic pump with the #2 hose to a container (not supplied with the NEXGEN) specified for muriatic acid solutions.
INSTALLING A SECOND POOL WITH NEXGEN The NEXGEN comes equipped to feed a second pool with the addition of a Venturi Feed System (VFS) or a Pump Dosing System (PDS). These items are purchased separately. CHLORPDSAC40 CHLORVFS CHLORPDS5 DIMENSIONS CHLORVFS L 16”...

VENTURI and VENTURI FEED SYSTEM INSTALLATION (VFS) The venturi injector requires 30 GPM of filtered water to function on pools with up to 25 PSI in the return line. Consult ChlorKing for rates necessary for higher pressures. Use an appropriately sized booster pump to achieve this flow. The venturi should be plumbed as the last component before the water returns to the pool.
Page 22
VENTURI and VENTURI FEED SYSTEM INSTALLATION CONTINUED The Venturi Feed System’s black power cord plugs into a 15a outlet. The blue control cord plugs into a chemical feed controller. The Venturi Feed System Control box is equipped with a contactor rated for 240 Vac and 30a capable of controlling the booster pump for the venturi.
Page 23
VENTURI and VENTURI FEED SYSTEM INSTALLATION CONTINUED Confirm that the Chemical Feed Valve is open, and the Service Valve is closed. Open the chemical flow control valve all the way. Activate the valve by plugging the blue cord into an outlet or by activating the feed function on the chemical feed controller. Ensure that the flow meter will flow more than the desired flow rate of product.

OPERATION START-UP WATER CHEMISTRY ChlorKing® NEXGEN systems operate by electrolyzing sodium chloride (salt) that has been added to machine into sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine). Use standard industry test kit, confirm the pool water is balanced within the following range before turning your ChlorKing® system on: Note: Sulfuric acid is not recommended for use in pools with electrolytic cells.
START-UP PROCEDURES AND CHECKS Check that all components are mounted securely. Check that all plumbing is secure and tight. Check that all plumbing and electrical connections are connected in the proper place. Ensure that all system isolation valves installed during installation are open. Fill the Saturated Salt Feeder with pure rock or pellet salt.
