INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, you have wisely purchased one of the most technologically

advanced salt water chlorinators in the world. The beneﬁts of doing so will be evident

for many years to come.

AquaPower's research and development team is committed to producing the ﬁnest

chlorination systems and being recognized world wide as the leaders in salt

chlorination technology.

Maximum customer satisfaction is achieved if the purchaser knows they have installed

the very best product for their pool and family. We recognize this and therefore

manufacture only the highest quality chlorine generating systems possible using the

most innovative and unique technology.

Thank-you once again for choosing Aquapower-Plus, we trust you will be very happy.

Your Aquapower-Plus chlorinator will eliminate the need to store dangerous quantities

of chlorine, daily manual chlorine dosing and the risks associated with these practices.

It is automatic, clean, safe and economical and for these reasons, salt chlorination as

a method for treating pool water is increasing worldwide.

Mild salt water is gentle on eyes and skin and is said to beneﬁt asthma sufferers and

those people who ﬁnd conventional chlorinated pools irritating. The salinity of seawater

is approx. 35,000ppm or 3.5%, while Aquapower-plus chlorinators require only 2,500

ppm. The human body has a salinity of approx. 4500 to 6000 ppm and fresh water is

zero. It is the similarity between the salinity of the human body and that of a salt pool

that make for a silky luxurious swimming experience.

The chlorinator comprises two basic components, the power supply and cell (Elec-

trode). It is within the cell that the electrolytic reactions occur. Chloride ions in the water

are converted into chlorine gas, this dissolves immediately into the water to ultimately

form sodium hypochlorite, (liquid chlorine). The chlorine oxidizes bacteria, algae and

other harmful matter in the pool water and through this process reverts back into avail-

able chloride ions. The major by-product of the reaction in the cell is the liberation of

Hydrogen gas at the cathode. This explains the small bubbles often seen passing out

of the pool returns.

No salt is lost through this process or as a result of evaporation. The necessity to top

off the salt level approx. twice per year is because of dilution through events such as

backwash and splashing out, or a pool or spa leak. If you are using abnormally large

amounts of salt check your pool or spa for a leak.

All Aquapower-Plus models contain digital time clocks, the four ON/OFF periods avail-

able are easily programmed for fully automatic operation of your pump & chlorinator.

All models have a built in back up power system that will hold all your

programmed information for at least seven days. This suits applications where

the main power is switched off every day for a number of hours.

Our units do not contain batteries.
