General principles

Correct operation of the chlorinator can be easily verified by checking the lights on the control panel.
However, if the pool remains cloudy and tests show low levels of residual chlorine, the chlorine
produced may have been lost due to high chlorine demand or improper water conditions.
To reduce chlorine demand:
✓
Check pH levels (between 7.0 and 7.4)
✓
Check stabiliser levels (Cyanuric Acid) are between 20 to 50 ppm
✓
Check for the presence of phosphates and nitrates which increase overall chlorine demand :
If these tests are positive, a oxidizer shock treatment is recommended.
In general, BOOST modes are not required if the pool is maintained at the correct levels.

List of recommended actions:

✓
Read the manual and keep in a safe place for future reference.
✓
Adjust chlorine production when temperatures increase or decrease (select the right mode).
✓
Increase chlorine production when bathing load increases (see BOOST modes).
✓
Use a stabiliser (Cyanuric Acid) at concentrations of 20 to 50 ppm to protect the free chlorine
in the pool.
✓
Where possible, install the chlorinator out of direct sunlight.
✓
Regularly get a water sample tested by a qualified pool professional.
✓
Maintain salt concentration levels around 3.5 g/l (3,500 ppm).
✓
Regularly test the parameters of the water.

List of prohibited actions:

×
Do not use fertiliser close to your pool. Fertilisers are an abundant source of Nitrates
and Phosphates, resulting in higher chlorine demand and deposits on the chlorinator
cell.
×
Never use pure acid to adjust the pH. Deposits of by-products can damage the cell.
×
Do not add any chemicals to the water (including salt) when the chlorinator is switched
on (switch it OFF).
×
Do not add chemicals (including salt) directly into the skimmer.
×
Do not allow salinity to fall below 3 g/l (3,000 ppm).
