Chlorine Output & Salt Levels

1. With Firmware Revision 1.55 (5/8/2009) the cycle time (reversal of polarity)
changed from 120 minutes (2 hrs) to 180 minutes (3 hrs). When you set the
‘Desired Output %’ dial on the main panel this sets the level of salt cell operation as
a percent of the operating time of each cycle. 50% is the factory default. Below
are simple examples for 2 and 3 hr cycle times.
• 2 hr cycle: If the output is set at 50% and the total time for operation is 8 hrs,
the salt cell will operate (and produce chlorine) for 50% (1 hr) of each 2hr cycle
for a total of 4 hrs.
• 3 hr cycle: If the output is set at 50% and the total time for operation is 9 hrs,
the salt cell will operate (and produce chlorine) for 50% (1.5 hrs) of each 3 hrs
cycle for a total of 4.5 hrs
2. Super-chlorinate is an additional option to use in order to ‘catch up’ in chlorine
production when making adjustments to the desired output level. Move the switch
to ‘Super Chlorinate’ to enable. This will cause the system to produce chlorine at
100% output for 24 hours assuming the pump remains on constant for 24hours.
Once 24 hours expires, the chlorine output dial will once again drive the chlorine
output percentage.
