Chlorine Voltage (MegaChlor-CD only)Chlorine Voltage (MegaChlor-CD only)
MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD measures the chlorine as a voltage, and that voltage indicates whether or not there is measures the chlorine as a voltage, and that voltage indicates whether or not there is
any chlorine in the rst place, not necessarily how much there is. In other words, if the voltage is low any chlorine in the rst place, not necessarily how much there is. In other words, if the voltage is low
enough, then that means the chlorine is gone; if the voltage is above that point, then there is chlorine.enough, then that means the chlorine is gone; if the voltage is above that point, then there is chlorine.
If you were to measure chlorine with a test kit, you may get a reading of low or no chlorine. This isIf you were to measure chlorine with a test kit, you may get a reading of low or no chlorine. This is

longer it runs, the more chlorine it adds to your water. For example, the factory setting of 3 indicates that longer it runs, the more chlorine it adds to your water. For example, the factory setting of 3 indicates that
