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.
