How Your Chlorinator Works
The ChlorSync
®
is designed to handle the purification needs of residential and small commercial
swimming pools and spas. The amount of chlorine required for proper sanitization will vary
based on the pool size and factors such as water temperature, bather load, exposure to direct
sunlight, and special water features.
The system requires a low concentration of dissolved salt (sodium chloride) in the water and is
normally maintained below the taste threshold. The AutoPilot
®
unit uses the salt to generate
chlorine, which your pool/spa requires to remain sanitized. The chlorine reverts back to salt after
treating the water. Since the chlorine generation process does not reduce pool water salinity,
there is minimal loss during a swimming season. Salt can be lost due to filter back washing, rain
water overflow, leaks, or bather splashing/carry out, but not through evaporation.
The water circulation pump must be operating for your chlorinator to produce chlorine, so run
time is one of several key factors to maintaining proper sanitizer levels. Most installations require
a minimum of eight (8) hours-per-day pump run time to properly filter and sanitize the water.
Quick Start
1.
Balance the water chemistry according to the water chemistry parameters and salt recommendations.
See "Water Balance and Chemistry Recommendations" on page 9 . See "Preparing the Pool Water"
on page 13.
l The chlorinator may be started immediately. The salt reading, however, may initially be
inaccurate until the circulation pump has been run for 24 hours to fully dissolve newly added salt.
2.
Use the △or▽ arrow buttons to set the purifier percentage to 50%.
3.
During the first two weeks, test the water chemistry parameters every 3-4 days. Adjust purifier
percentage as needed.
4.
Once ideal purifier percentage has been determined, follow normal maintenance procedures.
