OPERATION
The MegaChlor has 3 buttons and 4 lights built into the overlay on the control box. With the buttons you can
check the power level, change the power level and put it into boost mode. The lights will indicate the salt
level, the current mode (making chlorine or standby), reading the power level and changing the power level.
Power Up
When the MegaChlor turns on it will flash the lights as follows:
1. WHITE & RED Blinks the software version (1)
2. WHITE, RED, BLUE, GREEN - will flash in that order
3. GREEN will flash every 10 seconds for about a minute, then chlorine production will start. For the CD
version chlorine production may start depending on the chlorine level.
Making Chlorine (Salt Level Indication)
When making chlorine, MegaChlor will indicate if the salt level is high, low or normal. If it is low that is OK, you
could add more salt if you want, but not required. The salt indicator isn’t a measurement of the actual salt
concentration, it is more of a measurement of the power going to the titanium plates.
If the lights are on solid, MegaChlor is producing chlorine and the light color is an indication of the salt level:
Ÿ Solid GREEN - Salt level over 4000 PPM, don’t add salt
Ÿ Solid BLUE - Salt level 3000 to 4000 PPM, can add salt if not making enough chlorine
Ÿ Solid RED - Salt level less than 3000 PPM, should add salt, especially if not making enough chlorine
Ÿ Solid RED / GREEN at the same time - Salt Level has exceeded the maximum and the MegaChlor has
shut down to protect the power supply and the cell. Drain out some water and refill to dilute the salt level.
Cycle power or press the boost button to have it check again. Perform the tests in the troubleshooting
section.
Not Making Chlorine (Standby Mode)
The MegaChlor will produce chlorine for a period of time and then go into an off cycle (standby mode) for 3
hours and then repeat. The length of time for the on part of the cycle is determined from the power level
setting and is 30 minutes for power level 1, 1 hour for power level 2 and an additional hour per power level.
On level 3 it will be on for 2 hours. There will be visible bubbles coming out of the cell and you can tell the salt
concentration from the light color. When the time is up it will turn off and wait 3 hours and then repeat. When
it is in the off mode (standby) the lights will flash GREEN every 10 seconds.
