instructions

Before servicing the Zodiac AquaPure Ei Series
APURE35PLGC chlorine generating device please
ensure you have read and understood the Important
Safety Instructions section.
Always test the chlorine levels of your pool
iMPORTAnT
before each use.
6.1

Daily

1. Chlorine Test. Test pool water chlorine level
with a reliable test kit. Check the expiry date
of the test kit as test results may be inaccurate
if used after that date. Maintain ideal range by
adjusting the chlorine output level on the power
pack (see Section 5.3). Recommended free
chlorine level is 1 - 3 ppm.
nOTE It is recommended that chlorine test samples be
taken from two (2) places, one (1) at the pool return
line,the other well away from the pool return line.
Compare the two (2) samples. A higher level should
be found at the pool return line. The higher level at
the pool return line indicates the system is producing
chlorine.
2. pH Level Test. Test the pH level of your pool
with a test kit. If necessary, adjust to maintain a
pH level of 7.4 - 7.6 (see Section 4.3).
CAuTiOn
Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic
areas with excessive evaporation and minimal
dilution of pool water with fresh water. A buildup of
by-products can damage the electrolytic cell.

Total Alkalinity Test. Test pool water for total
alkalinity with a test kit. Take steps necessary
to maintain an alkalinity of 100 - 120 ppm (see
Section 4.3).
Calcium Hardness. Test pool water for
calcium hardness level using test kit or
by having a water sample tested by a pool
professional. Adjust as necessary to maintain a
calcium hardness of 200 - 300 ppm (see Section
4.3).

Monthly

Check the cell. It is recommended that every
month the cell be removed and inspected for
scale formation and/or debris. If cell needs to be
cleaned, see Section 6.3 for instructions.
Salt Level Test. Use salinity test strips, a TDS/
salinity meter, or another reliable method to test
the salinity of the pool water. Once the existing
salinity has been established, use Table 1 to
determine the amount of salt to add to reach the
desired level. Be conservative when adding salt
as it is easier to add more if needed than it is
to dilute if there is too much salt. If the salinity
level in the pool is correct and the salt LED
does not go out, see Section 7: Troubleshooting.
Pool Water Sample. Take water sample to
local pool store for testing.
Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid). Test pool water
stabilizer (cyanuric acid) level using a test
kit or by having a water sample tested by a
pool professional. Maintain ideal range of
10 - 50 ppm. Follow your pool professional's
recommendations. For indoor pools, it is not
necessary to add chlorine stabilizer to the
swimming pool water.
Metals Test. It is recommended that the pool
water be tested periodically for the presence
of metals such as iron, and manganese. These
metals should not be present in the pool water.
If those metals are present, contact your local
pool professional.
skimmer. This may damage the cell.
