Why does my CircuPool Water Filtration System cell rarely have mineral buildup?
Rare mineral buildup may indicate that the water is corrosive due to imbalanced water chemistry. Ensure that your Saturation Index is at or near zero, in order to avoid damage or premature Cell failure.
Why does my CircuPool Water Filtration System show zero salinity and cell current?
A zero reading is normal during the rest cycle. No action is required, and the reading will rise after the rest cycle or raising the output. If the issue persists, have a professional check the wiring. Also, verify the Cell Version in the Status Menu.

The CircuPool Universal Series is an advanced saltwater chlorination system designed for swimming pool sanitation. It utilizes electrolysis to continuously generate free chlorine from a low level of salt in the pool water, effectively killing bacteria and algae to maintain a clean and sparkling pool. The system is available in models UL25, UL40, and UL55, catering to various pool sizes and needs.
The Universal Series operates as a chlorine generator, providing a steady supply of chlorine without the need for manual addition of chlorine. The core principle involves applying a small electric charge across a set of titanium plates within the Electrolytic Cell. This process produces Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), which then dissociates into sodium (Na+) and hypochlorite (OCl-) ions. The hypochlorite ions combine with hydrogen (H+) ions from the water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the active agent that destroys bacteria and algae and oxidizes organic matter. This form of chlorine acts quickly in the pipe, leaving a mild residual in the pool. Additionally, the Electrolytic Cell continuously "shocks" the incoming water, burning off oils, organic matter, and other particles that need to be oxidized. The system recycles salt, meaning the original salt molecules reform after cleaning the pool, and the salt itself is not consumed.
The system comprises three main components:
