Page 3: Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Comfort-Chlor Chlorine Generator. Your purchase will minimize the efforts needed to maintain your pool and maximize your enjoyment for many years. Before installation or operation, please read these instructions carefully. This manual contains easy to follow step-by-step procedures to properly install and operate your system. -
Page 4: Cell
I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S The system comes in three sections, the Control Box, Cell and Flow Sensor. They are manufactured from the latest corrosion resistant materials to give you years of trouble free use, and installing them in the most sheltered position from sun and water will protect them from extreme weather conditions for years to come. -
Page 5: Flow Direction
CONFIRM LAYOUT: Lay out equipment pieces to be sure there is enough pipe space between the last piece of apparatus and the tees in the return line to fit the Flow Sensor and the Cell. A Vertical installation may be used to save space (see diagrams above). 1. -

BEFORE ADDING THE SALT Balance the chemicals. See the titled “Understanding the Chemistry” for recommended water balance. Also, add 1 quart of metal remover and 1 quart of non-copper based algaecide to the pool, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will ensure that the transition to the Comfort-Chlor system will be quick and trouble-free. -

Page 12: Basic Operation
O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S Comfort-Chlor is a chlorine generator for pool and/or spa sanitation. It is the workhorse of chlorine generators. The system uses a very low concentration of salt, less than the concentration in a human teardrop, and converts it into free chlorine that kills algae and bacteria in your pool. -
Page 13: Controls
Control Knob (1) – The Control Knob is used to adjust chlorine production and to turn the unit on or off. To increase chlorine production, turn the Control Knob up (clockwise). To decrease chlorine production, turn the Control Knob down (counterclockwise). To turn the unit off, turn the Control Knob down (counterclockwise) until it clicks. - Page 14 Salinity Indicator – To check the salt level, turn the Control Knob clockwise to full power and check the light reading. 100% reading indicates that the salt level is sufficient. Return the Control Knob to the desired chlorine production setting depending on the chlorine level in your pool (10% to 100% production rate).

Page 15: Cleaning With Optional Cleaning Cap
Maintaining your Natural Generator requires minimal work but will maximize the performance and life of the system. POOL WATER TESTING: Pool water should be tested weekly. Cell Maintenance Our clear Cell allows for easy regular inspections for calcium build up. Visually check the Cell periodically, and clean it as necessary (1 to 2 times per year). -
Page 16: Cleaning Without Optional Cleaning Cap
Cleaning Without Optional Cleaning Cap: 1. Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical connections from the Cell and the barrel unions from the cell ends. 2. Remove the black o-rings on the ends of the Cell. 3. Soak entire cell either in undiluted white distilled vinegar or in a solution of diluted muriatic acid (10 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid). -

Be sure to read and follow the respective manufacturer’s instructions. Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is necessary in most outdoor pools to maintain appropriate levels of chlorine. Chlorine stabilizer helps give an appropriate residual chlorine reading of the pool water. Without stabilizer, UV radiation from the sun destroys most chlorine within 2 hours, but excessive amounts of stabilizer can decrease the effectiveness of chlorine.

Note: evaluating the possible causes for each problem from top to bottom (first to last) will avoid extra labor. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES System is turned off. Control Knob is set too low in relation to chlorination demand (e.g. higher number of bathers, warmer weather, increased debris in pool). - Page 21 Note: evaluating the possible causes for each problem from top to bottom (first to last) will avoid extra labor. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES Dirty Cell Loose connection with the Cell’s connection pegs. 9. Salinity Low Not enough salt due to heavy rain, initial miscalculation, etc.
