5.3 Operation
CAUTION
Before attempting to operate refer to Section 4, Pool Water Preparation.Also,donotadjustChlorine
production above 00% until it is certain that salt has been dissolved in pool. Operating without salt will
damage the Electrolytic Cell.
Use of an external pool pump timer is not required with the salt water chlorinator power/control
center. The chlorinator is designed to supply a sufcient amount of chlorine to sanitize pool water on a
daily basis. If the system is operated for 24 hours a day at a 100% production rate, more chlorine would
be generated than would be needed by most pools (1-3 PPM). The chlorinator control system has an
internal timer which cycles the electrolytic cell on and off depending on what percent is set for the Chlorine
Production Rate. For instance, at 100% the cell is on at all times while the pump is running. When the
system is set at 90%, the cell will rest 10% of the time which helps prolong the cell life. In order to ne
tune the chlorine production for any size pool just increase or decrease the Chlorine Production Rate from
00% to 100% until the chlorine level in the pool stabilizes between 1-3 PPM while the pump is running (see
Section 5.4.2, “Apply Power” steps 1-5).
NOTE The chlorinating system only operates when the pump is running. During hot weather months you may need
toincreasepumpruntimetoallowsufcientchlorineproduction.
If you are connected to the AquaLink
®
RS control system or use a Pool Pump Timer. The Association
of Pool & Spa Professionals
®
(APSP
®
) recommends that all water in a residential pool pass through the
ltration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However, many factors
have an effect on actual pump and lter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun light,
indoor/outdoor, screened/unscreened, ltration system, cold or hot weather, swimmer load, rain, organic
debris, algae, etc., are all factors which contribute to either more or less pool pump and lter system run
times. Because of these differences, it is extremely difcult to set an initial run time (starting point) for the
pool pump and chlorinating system.
Try initially setting the pool pump run-time to 12 hours per day. It will take a few days to get just the
right pool pump operating time. Adjust accordingly using the steps listed in Section 5.4.2, “Apply Power”
steps 1-5. When the AquaPure is wired with a pool pump timer the results will vary greatly from one
pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or the local pool
professional.
The key points are:
• Check Chlorine Level on a regular basis and adjust the chlorine production rate (%) accordingly.
• Operate pool pump at least the minimum time needed for good ltration.
• The Pool Pump Timer reduces energy consumption.
NOTE ChlorineProductioncanbeadjustedin5%incrementsat the User Interface or through the AquaLink RS
control system.
NOTE Exception - For Cold Weather Operation: If the salt water chlorinator is set to run 24 hours a day through the
winter, extremely cold water temperatures can contribute to a reduction in the operating life of the electrolytic
cell. Sometimes it will be necessary to run the chlorinator at a very low production rate (10-20%) or to turn
the unit off. See Section 6.5, Winterizing.
