6.4 Winterizing

Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Below 51°F (11°C), chlorine production is not permitted; operating the

chlorinator in cold water might result in over-chlorinated pool water.

Ifpreventativemeasuresarenottaken,freezingwatermaycauseseveredamagetothecell.Preventfreezedamageto

thecellbyrunningpumpcontinuouslyorwinterizepoolbydrainingwaterfrompump,lter,andallintakeandreturn

lines.Removethecell,cleanandstoreitindoors.Coilthecellleads,wrapinplasticandtapetothepowerpack.

Anoptionalwinterizingcapisavailabletoreplacethecellduringwinterizingorcellmaintenance.Thiswillenable

pool pump to circulate water with the cell out the of line.

WhenaFREEZECONTROLLERisusedonpumpequipmentandthechlorinatorisrunthroughthewinter,turnthe

CHLORINEPRODUCTIONdownto10-20%.Otherwise,chlorineproductionwillexceedtherecommendedlevel

of 1 - 3 ppm.
