General Maintenance
Winterizing
Very little chlorine is necessary at low temperatures. The SJ-Series will automatically reduce its chlorine output
in cold water conditions, and will not produce chlorine at very cold temperatures. Below approximately 60° F,
the “Low Water Temp” LED indicator will be illuminated. This feature extends the lifespan of the Cell.
Additionally, housing end-caps are available, which allow you to continue to run water through the plumbing
without the Electrolytic Cell in place. (sold separately, available at www.circupool.com).
If you “close” your pool for the winter, you can continue to follow all standard procedures for your local area.
The Electrolytic Cell will be damaged by freezing water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas which
experience severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump,
filter, supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. The Control Module is capable of
withstanding any winter weather and does not need to be removed.
Spring Start-up
When opening the pool after a period of inactivity, do not power on and use the chlorine generator until the
pool's water chemistry has been balanced and brought to ideal levels. Salt must be added if water has been
drained over the winter.
Replacing the Cell
When the titanium blades inside the Electrolytic Cell have reached the end of their lifespan, replacements are
readily available so that the whole system does not have to be replaced. Replacements are easily switched
out. To ensure quality and value, only genuine CircuPool replacement parts may be used.
