Power Levels
ChlorMaker includes 10 power level settings that are set based on water volume, usage and testing. The
ChlorMaker factory setting is 3 (on 15 minutes and standby is 2 hours and 45 minutes). The output power to
the cell is always the same. The power levels change the amount of time the cell is energized every three
hours. At the start of the three hour period the cell will be energized and then, after the time indicated by the
power level, the cell will go into standby mode and stop producing chlorine. At the start of the next 3 hour
period the cycle repeats. Follow the steps below to increase or decrease the power level.
VIEW THE CURRENT POWER LEVEL SETTING
Simply press the UP or DOWN arrow button once and count the WHITE flashes. Each flash represents a
power level. For example: 3 WHITE flashes = power level 3, 7 WHITE flashes = power level 7.
CHANGE POWER LEVELS
1. Press both the UP arrow and the DOWN arrow at the same time. The WHITE Light will turn on solid
indicating that it is in power change mode.
2. Press the UP arrow to increase power - the GREEN light will flash each time the UP arrow is pressed. If
set at the maximum power level of 10, the GREEN light will be on solid.
3. Press the DOWN arrow to decrease power - the RED light will flash each time the DOWN arrow is
pressed. If at the minimum power level of 1, the RED light will be on solid.
4. When finished do not press any buttons for 3 seconds. The WHITE light will flash (count the flashes)
confirming the new power level setting.
SELECTING THE RIGHT POWER LEVEL
Selecting the right power level requires some testing and adjustment. There are many factors that affect the
sanitizing needs of a spa such as: Frequency of spa use, number of people, if there is an Ozone Generator,
spa temperature, last drain and refill, phosphate level, etc. After the testing and adjustment period, ChlorMaker
will take care of your sanitation needs day after day.
As a starting point, set the power level to the general recommendations shown in the chart below. This is only
a starting point and the final level may be very different. Use the following procedure to find the power level for
your spa.
Power Level Gallons Liters
1 - 3 < 200 < 760
4 200 to 300 760 to 1150
5 300 to 400 1150 to 1500
6 400 to 500 1500 to 1900
7 > 500 > 1900
Day 1: Set the power level according to the table and the
size of your spa.
Day 2: Measure the chlorine level. If it is higher than you
want lower the power level by 1. If it is lower than the level
you want raise the power level by 1.
Day 3: Repeat the Day 2 step until the chlorine remains
constant at the required level for a couple days.
NOTE: If the chlorine level is 0 PPM, 24 hours after
installation, the initial chlorine demand on the spa may be
above what ChlorMaker can produce in order to break away
from zero. In this case, manually add chlorine or shock (according to the product label) to assist in the initial
set-up.
If spa usage drops (vacation, winter, etc), it is important to lower the power level down several levels. If
usage significantly increases (return from vacation, etc), it is important to adjust the power level up accordingly.
Always retest and adjust the power level as needed.
WARNING: The ChlorMaker does not measure the sanitizer level and the power level needs to be properly
adjusted. If the power level is higher than needed and the spa is left alone for a number of days without
measuring the sanitizer, the levels may be too high and potentially damage spa components.
