If you use a Pool Pump Timer (Continued)
Try initially setting the pool pump timer to twelve (12) hours. It will take a few days to achieve the correct
amount of pool pump operating time. When IntelliChlor
greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with your pool professional.
The key points are:
•
Operate the pool pump at least the minimum time needed for good filtration and adequate chlorine
production by the IntelliChlor SCG, according to your pool professional's recommendations.
•
While pool pump timers can reduce energy consumption, the pool pump must be running for the
IntelliChlor SCG to provide chlorine and must remain running long enough to maintain proper
chlorine levels (i.e., 2.0 - 4.0 ppm of free available chlorine).
Note: Exception - For Cold Weather Operation: The unit turns off in water temperatures of 52° F, ±3° F
(11° C, ±1.67° C) and below, and will not produce chlorine. This feature extends the life of the cell.
Start-up Procedure (Super Chlorination)
Super Chlorination is recommended before pool start-up. Start out with clean, properly chlorinated, pool
water from the beginning. The IntelliChlor SCG will build up a sufficient level of chlorine for sanitation in
several hours. However, if the pool water has a high demand from the start-up the IntelliChlor SCG will not be
able to produce enough chlorine to reach break-point chlorination. So, it is best to super chlorinate using an
outside source at the time of pool start-up. Then, wait until the chlorine level has returned to 2.0 to 4.0 ppm
before switching on the IntelliChlor SCG.
Sanitizer Output Settings and Adjustments
•
Switch on the pool pump switch or pool pump timer. The salt display will blink both LEDs (bottom to
top) for two (2) minutes, indicating that it has not checked the salt level yet. After two (2) minutes,
the salt will be checked and one (1) of the salt level LEDs will be displayed. If the salinity is below
2600 ppm, the salt display will light the red LOW SALT indicator, and the CELL light will go blank,
indicating there is not enough salt in the pool for chlorine to be produced.
•
Set the Sanitizer Output to 60% by pressing the MORE or LESS button (see page 8).
•
After 24 hours, use a reliable test method to test the pool water for free available chlorine. The ideal
range to maintain is 2.0-4.0 ppm. If the free chlorine level of the pool water is too low,
increase chlorine production by pressing the MORE button. If the free chlorine level of the
pool water is too high, decrease chlorine production by pressing the LESS button.
•
Due to a varying free chlorine demand of pool water, it may take a few days to determine the number
of daily pool operating hours and "Sanitizer Output" percentage setting (see page 8) for your pool.
Continue adjusting as necessary, allowing 24 hours between adjustments until the free chlorine level
of the pool water is stabilized at 2.0 - 4.0 ppm, per APSP recommendations.
Operating in Winter
The IntelliChlor SCG switches off and will not produce chlorine in water temperatures of 52° F, ±3° F (11° C,
±1.67° C) and below. This feature extends the life of the IntelliChlor SCG. See "Winterizing," on page 20.
