Important Safety Instructions READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 Safety Instructions All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: WARNING EQUIPMENT UNDER PRESSURE: Always turn pump off prior to installing or servicing the power pack or cell. Your pump/filter system is operated under pressure and the pressure must be released before you begin work. Please see your pump/filter owner’s manual for further instructions. WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified pool service professional. WARNING Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating devices are designed for domestic (residential) swimming pool use only. Contrary use could affect performance, void warranty, and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. • Operating a chlorine generator without water flowing through the cell may cause a build up of flammable gases, resulting in fire or explosion. • Keep equipment out of reach of children. • A damaged supply cord should only be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or electrician. • When installing and using this electrical equipment, always follow basic safety precautions. • Before performing installation, disconnect all power. • Connect to a circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) • Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa. WARNING Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (“NEC®” or NFPA-70®) in the US, the Canadian Electrical Code (“CEC” or C22.1) in Canada, and/or any other local and national installation codes. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect only to a branch circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. Make sure such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the device without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Do not use the device. Disconnect the device and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using. A green/yellow grounding wire is provided inside the power pack. To reduce risk of electric shock, connect the ground wire to the grounding wire that is supplying power to the unit. WARNING The power pack must be interlocked/interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to ensure that the chlorinator only operates when the pool pump is operating. The flow sensor feature of the Jandy TruClear is intended to be used as a backup only and should not be used as the sole source of flow detection. P age 4 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual WARNING • The power pack must be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) vertically off the ground. • In the US, the power pack must be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from the inside wall of your swimming pool or spa; in Canada, the power pack must be installed at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the inside wall of your swimming pool or spa. • The Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating device must be installed outdoors only. The cell must be installed horizontally with the cord facing upwards to avoid buildup of flammable gases which can result in FIRE OR EXPLOSION. • The cell must be installed as the last piece of equipment in the circulation plumbing system just before the pool. WARNING This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly. WARNING PREVENT CHILD DROWNING: Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system. Locate the components of your operational system at least 1 m (3 ft.) from the pool so children cannot use the equipment to access the pool and be injured or drown. WARNING Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37 °C (98.6 °F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: • Unawareness of impending danger • Failure to perceive heat • Failure to recognize the need to exit spa • Physical inability to exit spa • Fetal damage in pregnant women • Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning WARNING To Reduce the Risk of Injury - • The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. • Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C (100°F). • Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies. • The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. • Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa. • Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. P age 5 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING • People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub. • To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub. • Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning. • Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub. • Water temperature in excess of 38°C (100°F) may be injurious to your health. • Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer. • Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise. • Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health. • Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of a spa or hot tub. • The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas. CAUTION This device is intended for use with permanent swimming pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. CAUTION It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.). Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating device will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping and other materials in and around your pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used in and around your pool and/or spa, please discuss all options with your contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials and chemicals. When mixing acid or other chemicals with water, ALWAYS ADD THE ACID OR CHEMICALS TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO THE ACID OR CHEMICALS. Some helpful considerations may include: • Choosing plants that can withstand splash out of pool water containing chlorine and/or salt and other water purification chemicals. • All metal components used in and around a pool should be of a high grade, quality stainless steel. • Careful selection of masonry products. The porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Therefore we recommend you consult with your builder or stone contractor on the best choice for stone materials around your pool or spa. • Sealing all masonry products. Professionals in the stone industry specify that even natural stone, especially when used outdoors, be sealed to prevent weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone or deck contractor for the proper sealer for the masonry products you have selected to use around your pool or spa. • For the optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule per the manufacturer’s instructions. • Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions.

Place all of the wire connections and cables inside the power pack and secure the electrical mounting plate tightly. 7. Plug the cell into the Power Pack. 3.6 Bonding The National Electric Code® (NEC®) requires pool equipment to be bonded to each other. Check your local codes to determine if the NEC and/or other local installation codes are enforced by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). A solid, copper 8.37 mm2 (8 AWG) wire is recommended, per the NEC, for bonding the power pack to a permanent bonding connection that is acceptable to the local AHJ. Refer to your locally enforced codes for the acceptable bonding wire gauge. Attach the bonding point located on the bottom of the chassis backplate to a common bonding point. Do not use the power pack as the common bonding point. P age 13 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual Each piece of non-related pool equipment requiring a ground should also be bonded to the common, approved bonding point. There should be one bonding connection to the power pack. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) dictates that the bonding conductor be, minimum 13.3 mm2 (6 AWG). 3.7 Split Return Plumbing Instructions: For Infloor Cleaning Systems If the chlorinator is used with an in-floor cleaning system, it must be installed in a separate dedicated return line or damage to the chlorinator will occur. NOTE Do not install the chlorinator on in-floor systems that do not have a dedicated pool return as shown in Figure 5. CELL POOL RETURN FROM THE PUMP TO INFLOOR CLEANER ENGLISH Figure 5. New Pool Plumbing for In-Floor Systems Section 4. Pool Water Preparation 4.1 Determining Pool Size (Litres) • Rectangular Pools Length (metres) x width (metres) x average depth (metres) x 1000 = litres capacity. • Circular Pools Radius (metres) x Radius (metres) x 3.14 x average depth (metres) x 1000 = litres capacity. • Oval Pools Short Radius (metres) x long radius (metres) x 3.14 x average depth (metres) x 1000 = litres capacity. 4.2 Determining Pool Size (Gallons) • Rectangular Pools Length (feet) x width (feet) x average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity. • Circular Pools Radius (feet) x radius (feet) x 3.14 x average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity. • Oval Pools Long radius (feet) x short radius (feet) x 3.14 x average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity. 4.3 Chemistry You Need to Know • Chlorine Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is needed to maintain proper levels of chlorine. Most non- stabilized chlorine is destroyed by the UV radiation from the sun within two (2) hours. Chlorine stabilizer should be maintained between 30 - 50 ppm. For indoor pools, it is not necessary to add chlorine stabilizer to the swimming pool water. • Nitrates can cause extremely high chlorine demands and will deplete chlorine from your swimming pool. In some cases nitrates may even lower your chlorine levels to zero. Your local pool professional can test for nitrates. Make sure nitrates are not present in your pool. • Metals (some metals) can cause loss of chlorine and stain your pool. Have your local pool professional check for metals and recommend methods of removal. • Combined Chlorine (Chloramines) should not be present in pool water. When organic materials combine with free chlorine, chloramines are formed. This ties up the free chlorine in your pool and does not allow the chlorine in your pool to disinfect. Chloramines also cloud pool water and burn the eyes. Shock to remove chloramines at the initial startup of the pool. • Shocking or Super Chlorination enhances chlorine’s ability to oxidize organic waste by eliminating combined chlorine (CC). To measure combined chlorine (CC), subtract the Free Chlorine (FC) from the Total Chlorine (TC). (TC - FC = CC). To determine how much shock (fast dissolving chlorine) it will take to properly shock your pool, you’ll need to calculate the Breakpoint Chlorine (BPC) level. To determine the Breakpoint Chlorine (BPC) needed, multiply the Combined Chlorine (CC) level by 10. Then, subtract the Free Chlorine (FC) level. Here’s the Formula: Breakpoint Chlorine (BPC) = ((CC X10) - FC) for example: If FC=1.0ppm, and if CC=0.7ppm, the BPC level would be 6.0 ppm. formula: ((0.7x10) - 1.0)=6.0 Your local pool professional can help with this calculation or can supply you with test kits that can provide this information. Running your unit at 100% for 24 hours may also help you achieve breakpoint P age 14 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual • Langelier Saturation Index is a standard method of determining the potential of your pool water to be corrosive or scale forming. PH, Total Alkalinity (TA), temperature, Calcium Hardness and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) play a role in the calculation of the final saturation rating. Saturation Index = pH + AF + CF + TF -12.1* A-Factor=(AF), C-Factor=(CF), T-Factor=(TF) Total Alkalinity Calcium Hardness Temperature A-Factor C-Factor T-Factor PPM Factor Value PPM Factor Value °F Factor Value 5 =0.7 5 =0.9 32 =0.0 25 =1.4 25 =1.0 37 =0.1 50 =1.7 50 =1.3 46 =0.2 75 =1.9 75 =1.5 53 =0.3 100 =2.0 100 =1.6 60 =0.4 150 =2.2 150 =1.8 66 =0.5 200 =2.3 200 =1.9 76 =0.6 300 =2.5 300 =2.1 84 =0.7 400 =2.6 400 =2.2 94 =0.8 800 =2.9 800 =2.5 105 =0.9 A saturation index of 0 is perfectly balanced A negative saturation index has corrosive tendencies A positive saturation index has scaling tendencies A saturation index of +0.3 or -0.3 is ideal *-12.1 should be changed to -12.2 if Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measure at 1,000 ppm or greater 4.4 Optimum Pool Water Conditions In accordance with the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals® (APSP®) standards, we recommend the following water balance conditions be maintained on an on-going basis to protect the pool finish and the equipment and to ensure the pleasing appearance of the water. The Jandy Pro Series is warranted to operate properly only if the following conditions are met: Free Chlorine: Ideal levels should be 1.0 - 3.0 ppm. Combined Chlorine (Chloramines): None. Use shock (fast dissolving chlorine to remove all chloramines). pH: 7.4 - 7.6 (Use muriatic acid to lower pH and soda ash to raise pH). Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid): 30 - 50 ppm (for outdoor pools only). Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm Metals (Iron, Manganese): None Nitrates: None Phosphates: None Temperature: Above 60ºF (16ºC) chlorination. If diminished water clarity or evidence of algae persists, your local pool dealer may suggest additional steps to sanitize your pool water and eliminate chloramines. NOTE On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock using an alternate source, i.e., use a shock treatment available at your local pool supplier. Proper Water Balance is key to your enjoyment of your pool or spa experience and to the long life of your cell. • The pH of your pool or spa’s water is the measure of whether water is either acidic or scale forming. Cold water is typically more acidic, while hot water is more scale forming. The ideal range for pH in either a pool or a spa is 7.4 to 7.6 regardless of temperature. If pH is allowed to rise, above 7.6 and the chlorine generator is operating, calcium in the water may coat the metal plates in the cell. This could restrict the flow of water resulting in reduced efficiency and possibly damage the cell. If the pH is allowed to drop below 7.4, the water will become more acidic and will dissolve the metal components in the pool plumbing with the metal plates in the cell being a prime target. • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Adding salt to pool water will raise the TDS level. While this does not adversely affect the pool water chemistry or clarity, the pool water professional testing for TDS must be made aware salt has been added for the sanitizing system. The individual performing the TDS test will then subtract the salinity level to arrive at the correct TDS level. • New pool water in a recently filled or newly refinished pool may contain undesirable matter which could interfere with the salt water chlorinator’s ability to sanitize properly. Make sure the water is tested by a pool professional and properly balanced before turning on the chlorinator system. New plaster pools have a constant acid demand for six (6) months. Test often and maintain a proper pH to avoid excess scaling of the cell. P age 15 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual 4.5 Collecting a Water Sample To properly collect a water sample for use with your home test kit or to be taken to local pool dealer there are some good practice suggestions that should be followed. Never use glass containers in the pool area. Choose a location well away from the return fittings that are bringing water back to the pool. Take the container and turn it upside down to trap air and then turn the container upright 46 cm (18 in.) below the surface of the water. Bring container to the surface and cap the container. 4.6 Salt (NaCI Sodium Chloride) When to add salt Add salt to the pool if the salt is too low (see Table 1). For a new pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait at least 30 days (surface should be completely cured) before adding salt. Do not run the chlorinator at this time. Manually chlorinate the pool. Contact your dealer for recommendations. Follow the pool surface manufacturer’s guidelines for your particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up. What Type of Salt to Use • The purer the salt, the better the life and performance of the electrolytic cell. Use a salt that is at least 99.8% pure NaCl. The salt is an evaporated, granulated, food quality, non-iodized salt. Consult your pool store. • Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents (sodium ferrocyanide, also known as YPS or yellow prussiate of soda) that could cause some discoloration of fittings and surface finishes in pool. • Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms of evaporated salt and may be used but will take longer to dissolve. • Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt. Use sodium chloride only. • Do not use rock salt because insoluble impurities mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit. How Much Salt to Use 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. • 3,000 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions. • Low salt concentration below 2,500 ppm will cause premature cell failure. • High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause corrosion damage to pool fixtures. CAUTION It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.). Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating device will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping and other materials in and around your pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used in and around your pool and/or spa, please discuss all options with your contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials and chemicals. Some helpful considerations may include: • Choosing plants that can withstand splash out of pool water containing chlorine and/or salt and other water purification chemicals. • All metal components used in and around a pool should be of a high grade, quality stainless steel. • Careful selection of masonry products. The porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Therefore we recommend you consult with your builder or stone contractor on the best choice for stone materials around your pool or spa. • Sealing all masonry products. Professionals in the stone industry specify that even natural stone, especially when used outdoors, be sealed to prevent weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone or deck contractor for the proper sealer for the masonry products you have selected to use around your pool or spa. • For optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule per the manufacturer’s instructions. • Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions.

How to Add Salt to the Pool 1. Turn on pump to circulate pool water. 2. IMPORTANT - Turn the power pack off by pressing and holding the ON/Off button for 6 seconds. 3. Test the water for salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or by your local pool professional. 4. Use the Table 1 to determine the amount of salt to add. 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. 5. Disperse salt into pool. Do not add through skimmer, main drain, or surge tank. Brush the salt around the pool to facilitate dissolving. Circulate filter system for 24 hours to ensure even distribution. 6. After 48-72 hours, verify correct salt reading by testing the water salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or by your local pool professional. 7. When the salinity level is correct, turn the power pack on. Press the buttons to set the desired production rate. P age 17 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual Section 5. Operating Instructions WARNING To avoid property damage, serious injury or death, do not operate the electrolytic cell without water circulation. A buildup of flammable gases which can result in FIRE OR EXPLOSION. The power pack must be interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to ensure that the chlorinator only operates when the pool pump is running. 5.1 Control Panel Figure 6. Control Panel on the Power Pack 5.2 Turning Power Pack On/Off (Manually) To turn the Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating device on or off press the button. A quick press will place the chlorinator into “standby” state. While in “standby” mode a quick press will return to “chlorinating” mode. If held down for 6 seconds it will completely power down. NOTE Because the power pack is wired to the pump’s power source, the power pack can only be turned on when the pump is turned on. 5.3 Turning Power Pack On/Off (Using the Pump’s External Timer) If the power pack is wired to the pump’s external timer and the power to the unit is on, the power pack will automatically turn on and off when the pump turns on and off (see Section 3.5). When the power pack is wired as such, the only setting that must be set manually is the chlorine output level (see Section 5.4). 5.4 Setting the Chlorine Output Level When setting the chlorine output level, the factors to consider are: - number of gallons in the pool - number of bathers (bather load) - amount of pollen and dust going in the water - number of hours the pump runs - whether you are using a single or variable speed pump - climate and water temperature - amount of rain water entering the pool. A good starting point for pools at 15K gallons and under should be 40%. Pools closer to the 25K to 30K gallons should use 60% as a starting point. If you find that these levels do not provide the 1 - 3 PPM chlorine residual that is desired, then raise the output level higher to compensate. If you find that output level is approaching 90% to 100% and testing the pool water shows no or very low chlorine residual, your pool may need to be manually shocked due to a waste load that has built up in the pool water that is overwhelming the chlorine you are supplying to the pool. Another cause may be the lack of Cyanuric Acid (CYA) at appropriate levels to protect the chlorine from the UV rays of the sun. NOTE The unit only runs while your pump is running. More pump runtime will result with more chlorine in the water. With all the variables mentioned above, it may take you a couple weeks to find the right production rate for your pool. To adjust the output level, follow these steps: 1. Turn the power pack on by pressing the button. 2. Press the buttons to reach the desired output This controls the operational mode of the chlorinator between auto and standby. • In Auto mode, the system will produce chlorine when the system is powered and when it detects flow through the cell. • In Standby mode, the system will NOT produce chlorine, even when the pump is running and the system detects flow through the cell. In normal operation, the up and down arrows are used to set the output level of the chlorinator. The output should be adjusted in order to achieve the desired Free Available Chlorine level of 2-4 ppm. The back/save button will save any changes you have made in the menu and send you back to the previous menu screen. The select button will scroll through and open any available parameters for editing. P age 18 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual IMPORTANT Always test the chlorine levels of your pool before each use. During heavy usage where bather load is increased, chlorine levels may deplete quickly and require more adjustments. Monitor the chlorine closely, and take appropriate measures in order to maintain the recommended 1 - 3 ppm free chlorine residual. 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. 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 build up of by products can damage the electrolytic cell. 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 (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). level. The minimum setting is 10%. The output can be adjusted in increments of 10% up to 100%. This controls the amount of run time for the cell. 5.5 BOOST/LOW Mode The BOOST mode can be used to maximize chlorine output for a short period of time. To activate BOOST mode, press the and buttons simultaneously. The boost will turn off after 24 hours. To turn off BOOST mode manually, press the button. The LOW mode can be used to minimize chlorine output while activated. To activate LOW mode, press the and buttons simultaneously. The LOW mode will stay on indefinitely. To turn off LOW mode, press the button 5.6 Polarity Reversal The Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating device is a reversible polarity cell which means that the cell will periodically switch its polarity to help prevent any build up of calcium on the cell plates. This is sometimes referred to as the automated cell cleaning feature. During the transition between changing its polarity there is a brief period when the cell will not produce any chlorine. Once it has changed polarity, it will continue to make chlorine. NOTE ‘CLEANING’ will be displayed on the screen during the ‘WAIT’ period. The output level indicator will remain as set during the cleaning period. Section 6. Maintenance Instructions Before servicing the Jandy Pro Series chlorine generating device please ensure you have read and understood the Important Safety Instructions section. If your Total Hardness (TH)* level is above 400 ppm or you reside in an area known to have hard water, it is recommended you change the polarity reversal time from the default of 5 hours to every 3 hours (instructions on back). *Three (3) Total Hardness (TH) test strips are included Areas known to have hard water Figure 4. Wiring Diagram P age 19 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual 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: 1. Ensure that all power to the power pack and the controller is turned off at the circuit breaker. 2. Before removing the cell for cleaning, shut off any necessary valves to prevent any water loss. 3. Open the air relief valve on the filter to release any pressure in the pool system. 4. Loosen the ring and remove the cell. 5. With protective glasses and gloves on, add one (1) part muriatic acid to ten (10) parts water in a small bucket and mix the cleaning solution together. CAUTION • When cleaning the cell, wear protective eyeglasses and gloves. • When mixing acid with water, prepare the solution by ALWAYS ADDING ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. • Never use undiluted Muriatic acid. Always use the recommended mixture of Muriatic acid and water. 6. Submerge the cell into the cleaning solution. 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 Pro Series 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. 3. Pool Water Sample. Take water sample to local 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. 5. 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. 6.3 Cleaning the Cell CAUTION 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. P age 20 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual 7. A foaming action will begin, which is caused by scale (calcium carbonate) being dissolved from the plates. If foaming action does not begin, the cell does not need to be cleaned (STOP THE CLEANING PROCESS - go to the step 10). Otherwise allow the cell to remain in the solution until the foaming has stopped (approximately 5 - 10 minutes). NOTE Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove calcium deposits. 8. Flush the cell with fresh water and perform the inspection again. If considerable blockage is still present, then re-submerge the plates back into the cleaning solution, flush and reinspect. 9. After the cell has been cleaned, dispose of the solution according to local regulations. 10. Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water and inspect. If deposits are still visible on the electrolytic cell, repeat step 6. NOTE Excessive acid washing will damage the electrolytic cell. Do not leave in acid for more than 30 minutes. 11. Once the cell is clean, reattach the cell as described in Section 3.4. WARNING Do not energize or operate the unit if the cell housing is damaged or improperly assembled. 6.4 Winterizing NOTE Do not use Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze) in the system. Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Operating the chlorinator below 55°F (13°C) is not recommended. Operating the chlorinator in cold water can dramatically shorten the life of the cell. If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water may cause severe damage to the cell. Prevent freeze damage to the cell by running pump continuously or winterize pool by draining water from pump, filter, and all intake and return lines. Remove the cell, clean it and store it indoors. A winterizing cap (R0621900) can be purchased to replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance. This will enable pool pump to circulate water with the cell out of the line. During prolonged periods when the water will be less than 55°F (13°C), the unit should be turned off and a chlorine floater or erosion feeder should be used by putting a small number of tablets in either of these devices until the water temperature increases. Doing this will lengthen the cell life and provide better performance when water conditions are more optimal. Section 7. Troubleshooting WARNING Always turn pump off prior to attempting service or repair. Your pump and filter system is operated under pressure and pressure must be released before you begin to avoid system damage or personal injury. Open the air relief valve on your pool filter to release the pressure in the system. 7.1 Problems and Corrective Action Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action Low or no chlorine.Low stabilizer (cyanuric acid) level in pool water (for outdoor pools only). Add stabilizer to maintain 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. (see Table 2). pH not within recomended range.Chlorine does not operate as well as a sanatizer if the pH is not within range. This can cause a higher chlorine demand. The ideal range for pH is 7.4 - 7.6 (Use muriatic acid to lower pH and soda ash to raise pH). P age 21 ENGLISH Jandy® Pro Series TruClear™ Chlorine Generating System | Installation & Operation Manual Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action Insufficient operating hours of the unit. Increase the system operating time per day. Chlorine output percentage set too low.Increase chlorine production by pressing the Output button (see Section 5.4). Temporary loss of chlorine due to heavy organic load - rain, leaves, fertilizer or heavy bather load. Pets using pool. Set chlorine production to 100% and set the pump and the cell to run for 24 hours. After 24 hours, recheck chlorine levels. If still too low, super chlorinate with alternate source to achieve Breakpoint Chlorination (BPC). Your local pool dealer can assist with this if you take to them a sample of your water. Low (less than 3,000 ppm) salt level in pool water. Use salinity test strips, a TDS/salinity meter, or another reliable method to test the salinity of the pool water.

Calcium buildup in the cell Clean the Cell NOTE Salinity readings are taken after 5 minutes and at regular 5 minute intervals. The Salt warning will turn on when the salt level drops well below 2,500 ppm and it will remain on until the salt level is raised to 3,000 ppm or slightly above. Cell life expired.Replace the cell. A combination of low water temperature (35°-65°F / 2°-18°C) and lower salt levels (1,500 - 2,000 ppm). Check salt level in pool water. If level is between 3,000 - 3,500 ppm, no action is necessary. If salt levels are lower than 2,500 ppm, raise the salinity level to 3,000 - 3,500 ppm (see Section 4.6). NOTE Salt levels above 4,500 ppm may cause corrosion damage. Salt level too low.Not enough salt added to pool.Add salt to pool until salinity returns to 3,000 ppm (see Section 4.6). Leak in pool.Repair pool. Salt level too high.Too much salt has been added to pool. Metal debris caught between plates or cell plates that may be touching. Verify salt levels by testing. Using the most reliable method available i.e. taking sample to pool dealer before taking any dilution action. Backwash or partially drain pool and dilute with fresh water until salinity returns to 3,000 ppm - 3,500 ppm. Use the “Waste” or “Drain” position on filters equipped with multiport valves. Also a siphon using a couple of garden hoses to a street storm drain can also do a good job. Do not use backwash setting because this could cause damage to your filter. Closely monitor water level if the pump is running. Remove any debris caught between plates by using a garden hose under moderate pressure. If plates are loose and touching, replace the cell. Strong Chlorine odor.Presence of excess chloramines (combined chlorine). Chlorine is an oxidizer, which means that organic waste is being removed from the water into the air. Strong odors are a part of this process. If these odors persist longer than 12 hours, take a water sample to your local pool dealer. Manually shock the pool (see Section 4.3).
