Installation

Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure proper electrical grounding.

1. Mount Power Center: Install in dry, well-ventilated area away from pool chemicals.
2. Install Salt Cell: Connect in pool return line after filter and heater.
3. Install Flow Switch: Mount in vertical pipe section after salt cell.
4. Electrical Connections: Connect to 240V AC power following local codes.
5. Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of all components.

WARNING! Electrical shock hazard - disconnect power before installation. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical connections.

First-Time Setup

Power on system; follow initial setup procedure.

1. Add Salt: Add pool salt to achieve 3000-3500 ppm concentration.
2. Prime System: Run pool pump for 24 hours to dissolve salt.
3. Set Output Level: Adjust chlorine production based on pool size and usage.
4. Calibrate Sensors: Follow on-screen prompts for temperature and salt calibration.
5. Program Timer: Set operating schedule to match pump run times.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper water flow. Ensure salt is fully dissolved before activating generation.

Care & Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning procedures for long system life.

Cell Cleaning: Turn off power, remove cell, soak in 4:1 water:muriatic acid solution for 5-10 minutes, rinse thoroughly. Power Center: Keep clean and dry; ensure ventilation openings are unobstructed. Flow Switch: Check for debris monthly. Winterizing: Drain all water from cell and plumbing; store power center in dry location.

CAUTION! Use extreme care with acid solutions. Always add acid to water, never water to acid.
