Operation

CAUTION
Before attempting to operate the device, refer
to Section 4, Pool Water Preparation. Also, do
not adjust Chlorine production above 00% until
it is certain that salt has been dissolved in pool.
Operating without salt will damage the Electrolytic
Cell.
Use of an external pool pump timer is not required
with the saltwater chlorinator power/power pack.
The chlorinator is designed to supply a sufficient
amount of chlorine to sanitize pool water on a daily
basis. If the system is operated for 24 hours a day
at a 100% production rate, more chlorine would be
generated than would be needed by most pools (0.6
- 3.0 ppm). The chlorinator control system has an
internal timer which cycles the electrolytic cell on and
off depending on what percent is set for the Chlorine
Production Rate. For instance, at 100% the cell is
on at all times while the pump is running. When the
system is set at 90%, the cell will rest 10% of the time
which helps prolong the cell life. In order to fine tune
the chlorine production for any size pool just increase
or decrease the Chlorine Production Rate from 00%
to 100% until the chlorine level in the pool stabilizes
between 0.6 - 3.0 ppm while the pump is running (see
Section 5.4.2, "Apply Power" steps 1-5).
NOTE The chlorinating system only operates when the
pump is running. During hot weather months
you may need to increase pump run time to
allow sufficient chlorine production.
If you are connected to the AquaLink
system or use a Pool Pump Timer. The Association
of Pool & 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/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 run-time to 12 hours
per day. It will take a few days to get just the right pool

pump operating time. Adjust accordingly using the
steps listed in Section 5.4.2, Apply Power, steps 1-5.

with either the pool builder or the local qualified

increments at the User Interface or through the

saltwater chlorinator is set to run 24 hours a
day through the winter, extremely cold water
temperatures can contribute to a reduction
in the operating life of the electrolytic cell.
Sometimes it will be necessary to run the
chlorinator at a very low production rate (10 -
20%) or to turn the unit off. See Section 6.7,
Winterizing.

Startup

5.4.1

Shocking

Shock (superoxidation) the pool water from an
alternate source at the time of pool startup to
burn off contaminates. During normal operating
conditions the chlorinator is capable of generating
a sufficient level of chlorine for sanitation within
several hours. However, if the pool water has a
high chlorine demand due to startup conditions
then the chlorinator will not be able to produce
enough chlorine to reach break-point chlorination.
Shocking involves the manual addition of
chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine.
When the chlorine level is quickly raised to 5 - 15
ppm the pool water is said to have been shocked
Wait until the chlorine level has returned to 0.6 -
3.0 ppm before turning on the Nature

1. Turn on the pool pump. When the chlorinator
is first turned on (cold), the unit will beep.
