Initial Start Up
Once installation is complete, ensure that the added salt has been fully
dissolved in the pool (page 10), and that the pool is clean and chemically
balanced (page 17).
Apply power to the pool pump switch (or timer controls). This should
activate the system, and within moments the green LED lights for
"Power" and "Generating" should be illuminated. During this time, you
may also see the "No-Flow" light flash for up to 60 seconds as your
pump begins its operation.
To find the optimum Chlorine Output setting, start at a setting of 70%
and adjust as needed over the initial start up period. Measure your
available chlorine in the pool after two to three days, and adjust the
Chlorine Output level accordingly. If the available chlorine is too high,
lower the Output level; if the available chlorine is too low, raise the
Output level. It will take a few adjustments to find the ideal setting for
your pool. Once determined, it should only take minor adjustments
throughout the season.
General Operation
By familiarizing yourself with the operation of the RJ PLUS Series, you
can achieve the maximum performance for your pool. There are
typically three factors that you can control which directly contribute to
the free chlorine level that will be available in the pool:
1) The chosen percentage of Chlorine Output on the Control Module,
2) Hours of pump run-time each day, 3) Water chemistry balance,
including the amount of salt in the pool, and chemicals that minimize
chlorine demand, such as stabilizer level in the water. See "Ideal
Chemistry Levels" for more important information.
After making the initial adjustments to your chosen Chlorine Output
level, additional adjustments are typically only necessary due to
changing seasonal temperatures, or changes in pool use and bather
load. Ensure that your pump runs long enough each day to move at
least two times the amount of water in your pool through the filter
daily. This is typically more than a sufficient amount of time for
chlorination of the pool, but if the pool has high chlorine demand,
