  • Page 9: Intellichlor Saltchlorine Generator Overview

    ® IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator Overview The IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator IC15 (SCG) salt chlorinator uses a process known as electrolysis to produce chlorine gas which immediately dissolves into a solution to create Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous acid pool and spa water sanitizer from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous acid kill bacteria, oxidizes organic material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt.

    Loop Plumbing Diagram The IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator is designed to operate with water flow rates from 95 Litres per minute (Lpm) (25 gallons per minute (gpm)) up to 397 Lpm (105 gpm). Do not exceed 397 Lpm (105 gpm) or pipe manufacturers recommended flow rate, whichever is less.

  • Page 14: Section 1: Intellichlor Control Panel

    Section 1 IntelliChlor Control Panel Salt Level Status LEDs The SCG salt level checks the pool water daily and displays the levels as follows: Green LED: Good salt. The pool water salt level is between 2800 ppm and 4500, and the SCG is producing chlorine. SCG salt LED should always be showing GREEN level for better results.

    Section 2 Pool Water Chemistry, Conditions and Precautions This section describes the start-up procedure and operating instructions for IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator. Pool Water Chemistry, Conditions and Precautions 1. New Pool Water: A recently filled or newly-refinished pool may contain undesirable matter. This undesirable matter could interfere with IntelliChlor’s ability to chlorinate properly.

    6. Metals - Some metals, i.e. copper and iron, can cause loss of chlorine. Also, metals can stain your pool. Metals can also damage the IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator. Have your local pool professional check for metals and recommend methods of removal. 7.

  • Page 18: Chlorine Testing

    Chlorine Testing It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two (2) locations in the pool. Compare the samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the SCG is producing chlorine.

  • Page 19: Calculating The Saturation Index

    Calculating the Saturation Index The saturation index is a formula that relates pH, calcium and alkalinity in the pool water. A well balanced pool water will have a formula result range between -0.3 and 0.3. Outside this range, the pool water is out of The equation to calculate Si is: balance, potentially damaging pool equipment or scaling the SCG.

    How to Add Salt to the Pool CAUTION - FOR ALL NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OR RESURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate the SCG with newly poured or resurfaced pool plaster. Salt is a corrosive element and severe salt damage can occur to your pool. Wait at least ONE (1) MONTH after construction to allow plaster to cure before adding salt and operating SCG.

    Section 3 Operating IntelliChlor This section describes the start-up procedure and operating instructions for IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator (SCG). Before starting up and operating the SCG, the pool in which the SCG will be used must have been completed and filled with water for at least one (1) month (for plaster pools) and the pool water salt level must be stable and being maintained at 3,000 to 3,500 ppm.

    Try initially setting the pool pump timer to twelve (12) hours. It will take a few days to achieve the correct amount of pool pump operating time. When IntelliChlor is wired with a pool pump timer results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with your pool professional.

  • Page 24: General Recommendations

    General Recommendations • After new pool construction has been completed, before installing the IntelliChlor SaltChlorine Generator, install the IntelliChlor “dummy cell” (P/N 520588) to remove debris from the pipes for thirty (30) days and to allow sufficient time for the pool plaster (or other similar material) to properly cure and seal.
