iCHLOR System Components
A iCHLOR Salt Chlorinator system consists of one of the following:
• H-52-0802P: Power Center Kit. Provides power to the iCHLOR cell.
• H-52-0801 iCHLOR Cell
Operating Instructions
When using a pool pump timer: The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all water in a
residential pool pass through the filtration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However,
many factors have an effect on actual pump and filter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun light, indoor/
outdoor, screened and unscreened, filtration 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 filter system run times. Because of these differences, it is
extremely difficult to set an initial run time (starting point) for the pool pump and chlorinating system. Try initially setting
the pool pump timer to 12 hours. It will take a few days to get just the right amount pool pump operating time. When the
Chlorinator is wired with a pool pump timer results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be
discussed with either the pool builder or your pool professional.
Installation
The following information describes how to install the iCHLOR Power Center. Before installing, review the iCHLOR kit contents
and required tools.

drill bit (to mount power center).
Installing the iCHLOR Power Center
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Read all the safety precautions in this
manual before attempting any electrical wiring. Be sure to read and follow all safety Instructions. Wiring
should only be performed by a qualified professional. When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Before attempting installation of service, ensure that all power to the circuit supplying power to the system
is disconnected/switched off at the circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT: The power supply must be interconnected with pool pump motor power source. This ensures
the iCHLOR chlorinator and pool pump will switch on and off together.
Grounding (earth bonding) is required. The unit should be installed by a qualified service person.
Install the iCHLOR unit a minimum of 60cm (two feet) from the heater outlet.
•
Allow ample access to the iCHLOR control panel buttons and the iCHLOR Power Center.
•
Pipe couplings: Schedule 80, maximum pressure 5 Bar (75 psi) at 21° C
•
Operate unit with 6m³/h (25 GPM). For high flow applications, use a bypass loop.
Install the Power Center at eye level as close to the iCHLOR pump and filtration as possible.
The Power Center must be installed more than 2.5meter (8 ft.) from the pool edges.
Leave sufficient clearance on all sides of the Power Center. Ensure that 5meter (15 ft.) power cord from the Cell assembly
location can reach the Power Center location. The Power Center enclosure can be mounted on the wall up to 5 meter (15
feet) away from the cell.
Note: For installation instructions about connecting the cell to Power Center, see the "iCHLOR User's Guide".
