is low on salt.

BASIC OPERATING HINTS

Ensure water is balanced with respect to pH, total Alkalinity and calcium hard-

ness otherwise corrosive or scaly conditions may result. These conditions may

lead to equipment inefﬁciencies or damage and the resultant water may cause

staining and mineral deposits. Chlorine effectiveness may be compromised

along with bather comfort.

Regular testing of pool water is imperative. A free chlorine level of 1.5ppm to

3.0ppm should be maintained with periodic manual shock dosing to effectively

remove contaminants. A correctly sized chlorinator will meet the normal demand

requirements of your pool. Your Aquapower-plus chlorinator displays % chlorine

output only, not the actual residual chlorine level in the pool.

The use of Cyanuric acid (chlorine stabilizer) will ensure no chlorine is lost due

to the action of the suns U.V. light is kept to a minimum. The breakdown of chlo-

rine by U.V. light is so signiﬁcant that we insist on it's use. Keep CYA between

50 - 80 ppm.

Although regular acid cleaning is not required, it is good practice to periodi-

cally inspect the cell for entrapped debris and remove if necessary. If a mineral

deposit appears to build on the electrode, contact Aquapower-plus for advice.

Always disconnect automatic pool cleaners when adding salt and only

reconnect when salt has fully dissolved.

DO NOT USE COPPER OR BROMINE BASED PRODUCTS IN POOL. Usage

of these may void warranty. Consult your local pool professional for advice.

(Some copper based products available are acceptable for use - consult with

your pool professional or Aquapower-plus)

Bromine must never be used in conjunction with our systems.

Generally the pool pump and chlorinator should operate from 4 to 12 hrs per

day depending on the demand placed on the residual chlorine level by the

environment or bather numbers.

Take note of the diagnostic display, it will inform you of the chlorinators activity

and any abnormal conditions that may exist.

Read the entire owners manual, seek advice from a pool professional on water

balance, or contact AquaPower-Plus directly . It is important to understand not

only the operation of your Aquapower-plus salt chlorinator, but indeed some

basic water chemistry to ensure the pool, the equipment, you, your friends and

family enjoy healthy swimming pleasure.
