Section 6. Maintenance

Before servicing the Jandy chlorine generating device,
ensure that you have read and understood the Important
Safety Instructions section.
6.1

Weekly

1. Chlorine Test. Test pool water chlorine level
with a reliable test kit. Maintain an ideal range
by adjusting the chlorine output level on the
power pack (see Section 5.4) or if necessary, by
supplementing the chlorinator with additional dry
or liquid chlorine. The recommended free chlorine
level is 1 - 3 ppm. See section 4.5 for instructions
on collecting a water sample.
NOTE Never use glass containers in the pool area. Broken
glass becomes difficult to see under water.
pH Level Test. Test the pH level of your pool with
2.
a test kit. If necessary, adjust to maintain a pH level
of 7.4 - 7.6 (see Section 4.3).
3. Total Alkalinity Test. Test pool water for total
alkalinity with a test kit. Take steps necessary to
maintain an alkalinity of 80 - 120 ppm (U.S.) or
100 - 120 ppm (Canada) (see Section 4.3).
4. 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 175 -
400 ppm (see section 4.3).
6.2

Monthly

1. Check the cell. It is recommended that the cell
be inspected every month for scale and/or calcium
deposits. Light colored, crusty deposits known as
scale will form in excessively hard water or from
pool water that is out of balance. Following the
installation of the Jandy chlorine generating device,
check the cell once a month for signs of scale. Hold
the plate bundle to a light source so the light can
be seen between the plates. If the light is easily
seen through the plates and/or a small amount of
scale is visible, the cell does not need to be cleaned.
Reinstall.
On the other hand, if the light is barely visible
through the plates or the light is totally blocked by
scale, then the cell needs to be cleaned. See Section
6.3 for instructions.
NOTE Excessive cleaning can shorten the life of your cell.

2. 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 of the pool is correct
and the salt LED does not go out, see Section 7.
Troubleshooting.
Pool Water Sample. Take water sample to local
3.
pool store for testing.
4. 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 30 - 50 ppm.
Follow your pool professional's recommendations
and check all local and federal regulations to ensure
that the ideal range is suitable for your specific
conditions. 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
5.
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.
6.3
Disconnect power to the system at the main circuit
breaker before performing this procedure to avoid
risk of electric shock which can result in property
damage, severe injury or death.
If the cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that
every month the cell be removed and inspected for scale
formation and/or debris. Some filters allow debris to pass
through to the cell which could lodge between the plates
in the cell. A small amount of scale formation is normal.
If by looking through the cell it is observed that there is
excessive scale formation between the plates or debris is
present, the cell must be cleaned as follows:
