3.7.3 Testing the Connection
Once the power pack has been wired to the AquaLink
RS Control System or PDA, follow these steps to test
the connection:
1. Apply power to the power pack and the
AquaLink RS Control System or PDA.
2. Wait about 20 seconds. If the connection was
successful, a Ŧ symbol will appear in the top
right corner of the power pack display.
nOTE: If the power pack does not connect to the controller,
turn the power off to both devices and repeat steps
1 and 2. If the power pack still does not connect to
the controller, re-check the wiring connections (see
Section 3.7.2) and the controller setting on the power
pack (see Section 3.7.1).

section 4. Pool Water

Preparation

4.1 Determining Pool Size (Litres of
Water in Your Pool)
• Rectangular Pools
Average length (metres) x average width (metres) x
average depth (metres) x 1000 = litres capacity.
• Circular Pools
Diameter (metres) x diameter (metres) x average
depth (metres) x 785 = litres capacity.
• Oval Pools
Long diameter (metres) x short diameter (metres) x
average depth (metres) x 785 = litres capacity.
• Sloping Sides
Multiply total litres by 0.85 = litres capacity.
4.2 Determining Pool Size (Gallons of
Water in Your Pool)
• Rectangular Pools
Average length (feet) x average width (feet) x
average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity.
• Circular Pools
Diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) x average depth
(feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity.
• Oval Pools
Long diameter (feet) x short diameter (feet) x
average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity.
• Sloping Sides
Multiply total gallons by 0.85 = gallon capacity.

Chemistry You need to Know

• Chlorine Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is needed to
maintain proper levels of chlorine. Most non-
stabilized chlorine is destroyed by the UV radiation
from the sun within two (2) hours. Chlorine
stabilizer should be maintained between 10 - 50
ppm. For indoor pools, it is not necessary to add
chlorine stabilizer to the swimming pool water.
• Nitrates can cause extremely high chlorine
demands and will deplete chlorine from your
swimming pool. In some cases nitrates may even
lower your chlorine levels to zero. Your local pool
professional can test for nitrates. Make sure nitrates
are not present in your pool.
• Metals (some metals) can cause loss of chlorine
stain your pool. Have your local pool professional
check for metals and recommend methods of
removal.
• Chloramines should not be present in pool
water. When organic materials combine with free
chlorine, chloramines are formed. This ties up the
free chlorine in your pool and does not allow the
chlorine in your pool to disinfect. Chloramines
also cloud pool water and burn the eyes. Shock to
remove chloramines at the initial startup of the pool.
• Super Chlorination burns out the organic material
that has combined with chlorine which frees the
chlorine for sanitizing. This is accomplished by
raising the chlorine level quickly and dramatically.
To super chlorinate the pool using the Zodiac
AquaPure Ei Series APURE35PLGC chlorine
generating device, set the chlorine production to
100% and then set the pump and the cell to run for
24 hours.
• Shocking (Superoxidation) is also a means of
burning out the organic material that has combined
with chlorine. This method involves the manual
addition of chemicals (use a registered or scheduled
source of sodium dichlor, calcium hypochlorite,
liquid chlorine or trichlor) 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.
On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock from
nOTE
either a shock treatment or a registered or scheduled
source of sodium dichlor, calcium hypochlorite,
liquid chlorine or trichlor available at your local pool
supplier.
