Jandy Salt System Manual

The Jandy Salt System is an advanced chlorine generator for swimming pools that converts salt into chlorine through electrolysis. The system features automatic chlorine production, self-cleaning cells, digital controls, water temperature monitoring, salt level detection, and compatibility with various pool sizes. Below are key sections for safety, features, installation, setup, operation, and troubleshooting.

Features at a Glance

Key components: Control panel with digital display, Salt cell, Flow sensor, Temperature sensor, Power supply unit.

Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.

1. Select installation location: Choose dry, well-ventilated area near pool equipment.
2. Mount control panel: Secure to wall using provided mounting hardware.
3. Install salt cell: Connect in pool return line after filter and heater.
4. Connect flow sensor: Install in pipe before salt cell.
5. Wire power supply: Connect to dedicated GFCI circuit.
6. Connect temperature sensor: Attach to pool return line.

WARNING! Electrical shock hazard - disconnect power before installation. Ensure proper grounding.

First-Time Setup

Power on system; follow startup sequence.

1. Add salt to pool: Calculate required amount based on pool volume.
2. Circulate water: Run pool pump for 24 hours to dissolve salt.
3. Set chlorine output: Start at 50% and adjust based on water testing.
4. Calibrate sensors: Follow on-screen prompts for sensor calibration.
5. Set operating schedule: Program run times to match pool pump schedule.

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

Connecting to Pool System

Integration with existing pool equipment: Filter pump, Heater, Automation systems.

1. Turn off all power to pool equipment.
2. Install cell in return line using appropriate fittings.
3. Connect flow sensor before cell in water flow direction.
4. Wire to pump relay for synchronized operation.
5. Connect to automation system if available.

Tip: Install unions on both sides of salt cell for easy removal during maintenance.

Operation and Maintenance

Daily operation requires minimal intervention when properly set up.

1. Monitor salt level: Check display weekly; add salt if below 2,700 ppm.
2. Adjust chlorine output: Increase during hot weather/high usage; decrease during cool weather.
3. Use boost mode: For shock treatment or after heavy pool use.
4. Inspect cell: Monthly visual inspection for scale buildup.
5. Clean cell: When "CLEAN CELL" indicator illuminates or every 3 months.
6. Check water chemistry: Weekly testing of pH, alkalinity, stabilizer.

WARNING! Never operate system with low water flow. Always turn off power before servicing.

Water Chemistry Management

Maintain proper water balance for optimal system performance and longevity.

Care & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures long system life and consistent performance.

1. Cell cleaning: Use 4:1 water/muriatic acid solution; soak 5-10 minutes.
2. Control panel: Wipe with damp cloth; no harsh chemicals.
3. Sensor maintenance: Clean flow sensor monthly; check for debris.
4. Winterizing: Drain system and store indoors in freezing climates.

CAUTION! Wear protective equipment when handling acid. Rinse cell thoroughly after cleaning.
