How it works
Think of the Universal Series as a chlorine generator; set it to create a
steady supply of chlorine for the pool, instead of buying and adding
chlorine by hand.
How it works: Using electrolysis, it creates chlorine from the salt
molecules (NaCL) in your water in order to sanitize your pool. A small
electric charge is applied across a set of titanium plates inside the
Electrolytic Cell. This produces Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl). In water,
Sodium Hypochlorite dissociates into sodium (NA+) and hypochlorite
(OCl-) ions. It is the hypochlorite ions that form with the hydrogen (H+)
ions (from the water) to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is the
active agent that destroys bacteria and algae, and oxidizes organic
matter. This form of chlorine works quickly in the pipe, leaving only a
mild residual in the pool. In addition, the Electrolytic Cell continuously
“shocks” the incoming water- burning off any oils, organic matter, or
other particles that need to be oxidized.
Best of all, the process continuously recycles the salt: after cleaning the
pool, the original molecules reform and the whole process begins again.
The salt doesn't get used up!
Initial Start Up
Before starting the system for the first time, verify that the pool water is
chemically balanced (see page 3) and that all installation items are
completed (see page 16)
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.
