WARNING When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. WARNING Do not operate electrolytic cell without proper flow or water circulation. A buildup of flammable gases would result in hazardous conditions. WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. • Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC, NFPA-70) and/or any other applicable local and national installation codes. • A green colored terminal (or a wire connector marked “G”, “GR”, “Ground” or “Grounding”) is provided within the terminal compartment. To reduce risk of electric shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment. • Power supply must be interconnected with Pool Pump motor power source. This insures the chlorinator and pool pump will turn on and off together. • Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the Chemical Manufacturers Instructions. • If the Flow/Temp/Salinity sensor is not installed in the electrolytic cell then it is recommended that it is installed in the same piping as the cell, up stream from the cell, and without any valves or diverters between them. • The Flow/Temp/Salinity sensor must be mounted as shown in Figure 3. Section 1. Important Safety Instructions READ AND FOLLOW ALL 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: DANGER 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 To Reduce the Risk of Injury - a) The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. b) 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 100°F (38°C). c) 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. d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. e) 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. f) 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. Page 6 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 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning. WARNING Risk of electric shock - Install the power center at least five (5) feet (1.52m) from the inside wall of the pool and/ or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water. Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision. Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment. People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub. 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 100°F (38°C) may be injurious and hazardous 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 5 feet (1.52m) 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 A terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided within the power center. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than no. 12 AWG (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet (1.52m) of the pool, spa, or hot tub. Attention installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components. WARNING To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have built- in operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be relied upon as a safety limit control. Page 7 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 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.). As such, Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the salt water chlorinator 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 the optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule per the manufacturer’s instructions. Page 8 Section 2. System Description ATTENTION INSTALLER: Various application notes (including more detailed instructions) are available from the Dealer covering installation, operation, maintenance, and plumbing of the chlorinator system.

ORP/External Control Interface 2. ORP/Freeze Control Unit 3. Heater ORP Unit (Control Signal from ORP Unit to ORP Interface/Aux Board) 2.1 Product Description The AquaPure and PureLink systems use a process known as electrolysis to produce sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite kills bacteria, oxidizes organic material, and kills algae then reverts back to salt. The system then reuses the salt and the process starts over again. The systems are comprised of the following components: AquaPure Control Center (for stand alone systems) • The AquaPure control center converts AC power into low voltage DC current which is required by the cell to perform the electrolysis. • The LCD display on the user interface offers monitoring of chlorine production, cell modes, salinity level, temperature, water flow and diagnostics. • The control center is connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the electrolytic cell can only operate when the pool pump is on. An optional pool pump timer can be utilized to help control this function. The flow portion of the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor is a backup device only. AquaPure® Control Center OR Page 9 AquaLink® RS PureLink Power Center (for PureLink systems) • The PureLinkTM system is an all-in-one salt water chlorinator control system power center and cell kit for use with AquaLink RS PDA, All Button, Pool Link, or OneTouch controllers. • The AquaLink RS PureLink power center converts AC power into low voltage DC current which is required by the cell to perform the electrolysis. • The LCD display on the user interface offers monitoring of chlorine production, cell modes, salinity level, temperature, water flow and diagnostics. • The chlorine generator electronics inside the power center are connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the electrolytic cell only operates when the pool pump is on. The flow portion of the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor is a backup device only. Electrolytic Cell The electrolytic cell contains bipolar electrodes which perform the electrolysis and produce chlorine when energized with DC current. Chlorine is generated as pool water containing salt passes through the cell. The chlorine production can be varied by either adjusting the chlorine production level on the power center or by varying the number of hours the unit is on each day. The system automatically cleans the cell’s electrode plates once every 3 hours by reversing the polarity of the electrical current. Whether the system is in forward or reverse, it is still producting chlorine. Flow/ Temperature/ Salinity/Sensor The flow portion of the flow/temp/salinity sensor detects if there is adequate water flow through the cell. The salinity portion of the flow/temp/salinity sensor detects the level of salt in the pool water. This salt level is displayed in grams per liter (GPL)* on the user interface liquid crystal display (LCD) whenever the salinity button is pressed. This eliminates the need to manually test the salinity of the pool water. The pool temperature is displayed by pressing the Temperature button. *1 gram per liter (GPL) = 1000 ppm (parts per million) 2.2 Electrical Specifications Circuit Protection 2 pole 20 AMP device at the Electrical Panel. 700 Model 1400 Model Input:120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 AMPS 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.75 AMPS Input:120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.5 AMPS 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1.25 AMPS Output:22-30 VDC @ 3 AMPS maximum Output:22-30 VDC @ 6 AMPS maximum Chlorine:0.625 lb. / 24 Hr.

WARNING ATTENTION INSTALLER: If the flow/temp/salinity sensor is not installed properly, it may allow the electrolytic cell to operate without water flow. This would cause a buildup of flammable gases resulting in FIRE or EXPLOSION. • Mount as shown in Figure 11. This will result in the most reliable operation. • The flow/temp/salinity sensor must be mounted: (1) In one of the available ports in the electrolytic cell - or - (2) In the same line prior to the cell with no valves or diverters between the flow/temp/salinity sensor and cell. • Anytime the flow/temp/salinity sensor is connected or disconnected and reconnected, the AC power to the unit must be turned off and back on (Cycle Power). If power is not cycled, unreliable operation of the flow/temp/salinity sensor will result. 3.7.1 New Installation 1. Be sure pool pump is turned off. 2. It is recommended that the flow/temp/salinity sensor and electrolytic cell be installed in the pool return line after the filter and heater. The cell can be installed in either a horizontal or a vertical position. See Figure 3. 3. Position the flow/temp/salinity sensor and cell in the recommended position (see Figures 1, 3, 4 and 5). 4. Locate a suitable section of pipe, approximately 17 inches (432 mm) long or follow the recommended plumbing diagrams as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The flow/temp/salinity sensor cable and cell DC cord must be able to reach from the power center to this section of pipe. 5. Cut out a 137/8” (352 mm) section of the 2” (50 mm) pipe to insert the Cell. See Figure 12. Glue on unions and install cell. 6. Install the flow/temp/salinity sensor into the 3-Port cell. See Figure 11. 7. Install the strain relief provided with the electrolytic cell kit into the low voltage knock out. Feed the connector end of the flow/temp/salinity sensor cable through the DC cord strain relief fitting. Be certain the connector is clean and dry, then plug the cable into the connector on the power center printed circuit board as shown in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c. (Do not pull Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor cable too tight, allow a little slack). 8. Plug the DC cord into the cell stud terminals protruding from the cell top. The DC cord can be plugged into the cell in either direction. CAUTION To avoid risk of damage to the equipment and possible injury, it is important to make sure the DC cable connector is fully seated on the cell stud terminals. Page 19 9. Connect the DC cord to the power center. Feed the DC cord through the same strain relief fitting as the flow/temp/salinity sensor. Plug the DC cord into the two spade connectors of the wiring harness located in the low voltage raceway of the control/power center, see Figure 2a, 2b, and 2c. This wiring harness establishes the connection between the cell and the power interface PCB. 10. Tighten strain relief fitting screws for the flow/temp/salinity sensor and the DC cord. Do not pull Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor cable or DC Cord too tight. Allow a little slack for the cable inside of power center enclosure. CAUTION Do not over tighten the strain relief fitting. Over tightening can cause damage to the flow/temp/salinity sensor cable. 11. Prior to reattaching front cover, check the wiring. Be sure the flow/temp/salinity sensor is plugged in.

The chlorine generator user interface will display “JA” when any of its buttons are pressed while the AquaLink RS is in control. Adjustment of the chlorine production rate or Boost mode can be controlled from the main menu of the AquaLink RS controller (All Button, OneTouch™, or PDA). Boost mode can also be activated from the chlorine generator user interface while the AquaLink RS is online. Refer to the AquaLink RS Operation Manual (or AquaLink RS PDA Operation Manual) for more information. The chlorine generator’s user interface will display temperature, salinity, service codes, and LED indicators as normal. NOTE The AquaPure® and PureLinkTM chlorine generator electronics will communicate with AquaLink® RS using firmware versions JJ or later. 3.8.1 Wiring AquaPure Control Center to an AquaLink RS Power Center In the AquaLink RS power center enclosure, wire the AquaPure Control Center input power directly to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump relay (see Figure 14).

The chlorine generator power interface board can be set up in the field to operate in two (2) different modes. The mode of operation is determined by the position of a movable jumper J14. See Figure 17 for location. POS-1 (Wait at least one (1) minute after applying power. See note 1.) With J14 jumper set to POS-1 and no voltage applied to the ORP 24 VAC connector J15, the chlorine generator works normally displaying the production rate of 0% to 100% on the display of the user interface. When 24 Volts AC is applied to the ORP 24 VAC inputs, chlorine production will be disabled. The display of the user interface will then flash “EC” (external control). Once the 24 Volts AC input is removed the chlorine generator will return to normal operation. The “EC” will be replaced with the current production setting of 0% to 100%. POS-2 (Wait at least one (1) minute after applying power. See note 1.) Placing the jumper in POS-2 allows the chlorine generator to operate in the opposite way to POS- 1. With 24 Volts AC applied to the ORP 24 VAC inputs, chlorine production will be enabled. The display of the user interface will display a production rate of 0% to 100%. When the 24 Volts AC is removed the display will flash “EC” every few seconds and chlorine production is disabled. SUMMARY POSITION OF J14 24 VAC 0 VAC POS-1 (default)Unit OFF, displays EC Unit ON, displays 0-100% POS-2 Unit ON, displays 0-100%Unit OFF, displays EC Note 1 The unit samples the external control/ORP settings at the instant power is applied to the chlorine generator and will not respond to any changes during the first minute of operation. The unit may appear to be STUCK IN or STUCK OUT of “EC” mode. Wait several minutes until the unit has warmed up to verify the changes made to external control set-up. Note 2 Multiple chlorine generators can be linked together to be controlled with one ORP controller without the use of external relays and transformers. Contact the factory for more information.

Pool Water Preparation ATTENTION INSTALLER: Various application notes (including more detailed instructions) are available from the Dealer covering installation, operation, maintenance, and plumbing of the chlorinator system. 4.1 Determining Pool Size (Liters of Water in Your Pool) • Rectangular Pools Average length (meters) x average width (meters) x average depth (meters) = m3 capacity. m3 capacity x 1000 = Litres • Circular Pools Diameter (meters) x diameter (meters) x average depth (meters) x 0.79 = m3 capacity. m3 capacity x 1000 = Litres • Oval Pools Long diameter (meters) x short diameter (meters) x average depth (meters) x 0.79 = m3 capacity. m3 capacity x 1000 = Litres • Sloping Sides Multiply total m3 by 0.85 = m3 capacity. m3 capacity x 1000 = Litres 4.2 Determining Pool Size (Gallons of Water in Your Pool) • Rectangular Pools Average length (feet) x average width (feet) x average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity. • Circular Pools Diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) x average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity. • Oval Pools Long diameter (feet) x short diameter (feet) x average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity. • Sloping Sides Multiply total gallons by 0.85 = gallon capacity. 4.3 Selecting Model Size 700 Model 1400 Model Chlorine Production Chlorine Production 283 gm (0.625 lbs) per 24 Hour period.567 gm (1.25 lbs) per 24 Hour period. Residential Pools Residential Pools One (1) unit per 45,000 liters (up to 12,000 gal) pool (See General Rule of Sizing notes below.). One (1) unit per 151,000 liters (up to 40,000 gal) pool (See General Rule of Sizing notes below.). Commercial Pools Commercial Pools Check With Manufacturer. See Commercial Sizing Guide. Check With Manufacturer. See Commercial Sizing Guide. General Rule of Sizing: In areas with year-round use and high water temperatures, such as Florida, Texas, Arizona, Las Vegas and Southern California, the following must be considered: Year Round Use: Up-sizing the chlorine generator or adding more than one unit may be recommended for pools that are close to the maximum size and used year round. Please consult your pool professional. High Water Temperatures: Because chlorine demand increases with the rise of water temperature, adjustments must be made in order to keep up with chlorine demand. In hot summer months, where the water temperature rises above 85ºF, you must increase the pump run time, increase the chlorine production rate (%), increase the Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) to 75-85 PPM, and super chlorinate with other chlorine agents other than the chlorine generator, to reach break-point chlorination. Page 28 4.4 Chemistry You Need to Know 1. Chlorine Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is needed to maintain proper levels of chlorine. Most unstable chlorine is destroyed by the UV radiation from the sun within 2 hours. Chlorine stabilizer should be maintained between 50 - 75 PPM. With high water temperatures above 30°C, stabilizer (cyanuric acid) must be kept at levels from 75 - 85 PPM. 2. 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. 3. Metals (some metals) can cause loss of chlorine. Also, metals can stain your pool. Have your local pool professional check for metals and recommend methods of removal. 4. 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]. 5. Super Chlorination burns out the organic material that has combined with chlorine. This frees the chlorine for sanitizing. This is accomplished by raising the chlorine level quickly and dramatically. Super chlorination occurs when the sanitation system is placed in Boost mode. 6. Shocking (Superoxidation) is also a means of burning out the organic material that has combined with chlorine. This method involves the manual addition of chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine. When the chlorine level is quickly raised to 5 - 15 PPM the pool water is said to have been shocked. NOTE On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock from an outside source, i.e., use a shock treatment available at your local pool supplier. 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 buildup of by-products can damage the electrolytic cell. 7. The pH condition resulting from the operation of the salt water chlorination system is close to neutral. However, other factors usually cause the pH of the pool water to rise. Therefore, the pH in a pool chlorinated by a salt water system tends to stabilize at approximately 7.6. If the pool pH rises above 7.6 have a pool professional test to see if other factors such as high calcium hardness or total alkalinity are the cause and then balance accordingly. 8. 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. 9. New pool water in a recently filled or newly refinished pool may contain undesirable matter. This undesirable matter 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. 10. Sequestering Agents in some areas the total hardness of your source water may be unusually high. High total hardness can contribute to scale formation in the pool. Sequestering agents will help keep minerals in solution and under some conditions can prevent this from happening. Consult your pool professional about the use of a sequestering agent. Page 29 4.5 Optimum Pool Water Conditions In accordance with 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 equipment and ensure the pleasing appearance of the water. The AquaPure® is warranted to operate properly only if these conditions are met. Free Chlorine 1.0 - 3.0 PPM. Continuous exposure to levels above 3.0 PPM may cause corrosion of pool metals. Combined Chlorine (Chloramines) None (Super Chlorinate 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) 50 - 75 PPM Total Alkalinity 80 - 120 PPM Calcium Hardness 175 - 400 PPM Metals (Copper, Iron, Manganese) None Nitrates None 4.6 Chlorine Testing Use a home test kit or ask your pool professional to test your water. It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two (2) places, described below. Compare the two (2) samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the salt water chlorinator system is producing chlorine. 1. At the pool return line. 2. 18 inches (457 mm) below the surface and well away from the pool return line. 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.). As such, Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the salt water chlorinator 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 the optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule per the manufacturer’s instructions. Page 30 4.7 Salt (NaCl sodium chloride) 4.7.1 When to Add Salt? For a new concrete pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait 30 days (surface should be completely cured) before adding salt. Follow the pool surface manufacturer’s guidelines for your particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up. After start up add salt as necessary to maintain proper levels. 4.7.2 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 salt supplier. • 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 (insoluble impurities mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit). 4.7.3 How Much Salt to Use? Use Table 2 to determine how much salt will be needed. Most pools contain some salt depending on the water source and chemicals used for sanitizing. If the salt water chlorinator has not been wired and turned on yet, a salt test strip or a hand held metre calibrated for NaCl (salt) can be used to determine the existing salt concentration of the water. If the unit is wired (connected), use it to determine the salinity. Water temperature can affect the salinity readout, always test salinity at the equipment locations. Set Chlorine Production to 00%. Operating the unit above 00% production without salt will damage the electrolytic cell. The Salinity button C on the sanitizer user interface keypad can be used to determine salinity in the case of a new pool installation, or a complete water change so long as the Chlorine Production is set to 00%. See Section 5.4.2, step 2. • 3.0 to 3.5 gpl of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions. • Low salt concentration below 2.0 gpl will cause premature cell failure. • High salt concentration above 4.0 gpl may damage the power center. • High salt concentration above 6.0 gpl may cause corrosion damage to pool fixtures. NOTE Should too much salt be inadvertently added to the pool see Section 7, Troubleshooting. NOTE To convert gpl (grams per liter) of a salt solution to PPM (Parts Per Million) of a salt solution multiply by 1000, i.e., 3.0 gpl salt X 1000 = 3000 PPM salt. 4.7.4 How to Add Salt to the Pool? 1. Turn on pump to circulate pool water. 2. IMPORTANT - Turn the chlorine production off by pressing the arrow button A and setting CHLORINE PRODUCTION Rate to 00%. 3. Determine amount of salt from the following charts. 4. Broadcast or spread the salt into the outer perimeter of the pool, or into the shallow end of the pool for quick and even distribution. 5. To avoid clogging the filter or damaging power center and pump, do not add salt through either the skimmer, main drain, or surge tank. Page 31 Salt Conc.

Approximate Kilograms (Pounds) of Salt Needed to Obtain 3.0 gpl (3,000 PPM) in Pool NOTE Check pool for existing salt level before determining the amount of salt needed. Most pools (especially those which have utilized liquid chlorine for a sanitizer) will contain some salt from the source water or previous sanitizers. IMPORTANT Add 1.25 lbs (0.57 kg) of chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) per 50 lbs (22.7 kg) of salt. 6. Brush the pool bottom and allow water to circulate for 24 hours to dissolve completely and mix evenly with the pool water. 7. After 24 hours, verify correct salt reading. 8. Turn on the system and set to desired chlorine production rate (pressing the arrow buttons A or B). NOTE For a new concrete pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait 30 days (surface should be completely cured) before adding salt. Follow the pool surface manufacturers guidelines for your particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up. Page 32 5.1 User Interface Controls Chlorine Production Rate Adjustment Pressing the down arrow button A or the up arrow button B will change the CHLORINE PRODUCTION RATE in 5% increments. Generally, adjustments to production should be made in 10% increments. In the PureLinkTM system, adjustments to the chlorine production rate can be made from either the AquaLink® RS control panel or from the power center user interface. Salinity Press the SALINITY button C to check the salinity of the water in pool. Boost Press and hold the POOL TEMP -BOOST- button D for 10 seconds to enter the Boost mode (Note ‘bo’ will flash intermittently). Boost can be used to set chlorine production to maximum (100%) for 24 hours of operation. After 24 hours of chlorinator run time, chlorine production will return to previous setting. To clear the Boost mode, press and hold the POOL TEMP -BOOST- button D again for 10 seconds. NOTE When a pool pump timer is used to limit chlorinator run time, the 24 hours will only count down when the chlorinator is on. Temperature Press the POOL TEMP -BOOST- button D to check the pool water temperature. Temperature measurements can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. For more information, see Section 8, Temperature Conversion. Section 5. Operating Instructions NOTE The user interface is located inside the control/power center. To access the control panel, open the door to the control/power center. See Figure 18. Figure 18. User Interface Page 33 Operating User Interface Controls when AquaLink® RS Control System is Online Chlorine Production Rate Adjustment with AquaLink RS Online The user interface can be used to adjust the output production rate (%) when the salt water chlorinator system is controlled by the AquaLink RS only when the AquaLink RS is placed into service mode. When the down arrow button A or the up arrow button B is pressed, a JA in the display indicates that the AquaLink RS is controlling the entire system, including the output production rates. The AquaLink RS Control System must be set to Service Mode before you can change the chlorine production rate from the control/power center user interface NOTE The Boost button at the user interface will start Boost cycle whether the AquaLink RS is online or offline. AquaLink RS Control System Press the Mode Select button to move the AquaLink RS from Auto Mode into Service Mode. The Service indicator light will turn ON. Press the Valve Select button to choose either Pool Mode to change pool chlorine production, or Spa Mode to change spa chlorine production. Press the Filter Pump button to turn on the pump and apply power to the sanitizing system. Control/Power Center User Interface Press the down arrow button A or the up arrow button B to change the chlorine production rate in 5% increments. Generally, adjustments to production should be made in 10% increments. AquaLink RS Control System Press the Mode Select button to put the AquaLink RS in the Time Out mode. Press the Mode Select button again to place it back into Auto mode. NOTE The AquaLink RS control system must be in pool mode to change the pool chlorine production rate setting; and it must be in spa mode to change the spa chlorine production rate setting. Use the valve select button to switch between the two modes. The system must be cycled through SERVICE, TIME OUT, then back to AUTO to accept the Pool Setting versus the Spa Setting. 5.2 Reading the Display CELL ON The CELL ON indicator shows that the cell has been turned on. Some reasons for the CELL ON indicator not being on during normal operation, are: CHLORINE PRODUCTION RATE set to 00%, CHLORINE PRODUCTION RATE set to less than 100% and CELL RESTING appears during cell rest period, NO FLOW condition, two minutes before automatic cleaning cycle, low temperature cut off has been activated, or a service related problem such as a salinity level below 2.0 gpl or salinity level too high. CELL RESTING During the normal chlorine production cycle when the unit is set for less than 100%, the cell will periodically rest; that is, the unit will not make chlorine. The CELL RESTING indicator shows that the cell has been turned off by the control power center. FLOW or NO FLOW Indication When the control/power center determines that water is flowing past the flow/temp/ salinity sensor, the FLOW indicator is displayed. When no flow is detected, NO FLOW is displayed on the LCD and the cell is turned off. Page 34 CELL REVERSING The automatic cleaning cycle is in progress. The cleaning cycle is factory set and cannot be adjusted. Cell Reversing does not interrupt the production of chlorine. SALINITY Salinity is displayed along with the gpl (grams per liter) indicator, when the SALINITY button (C) is depressed. If a reading of HH appears, the salinity is above 4.5 to 6.5 gpl (depending on pool temperature) and is too high to measure correctly (at normal temperatures). Maintain salinity between 3.0 and 3.5 gpl. See Section 4. ADD SALT The ADD SALT indicator comes on when the flow/temp/salinity sensor determines that the salinity level of the pool water is too low. Maintain Salinity between 3.0 and 3.5 gpl. SERVICE and Service Code The SERVICE indicator will turn on whenever the control system detects a problem that requires attention. The SERVICE indicator is accompanied by a service code displayed on the front panel, displayed as a 3 digit code. The service code(s) are displayed twice per minute with an audible alarm. NOTE See Section 7.2, Service Codes. Problems can range from insufficient salinity to the DC cord not connected. Audible Alarm An audible alarm (beep) sounds once per hour, and only for the first service code, when a SERVICE condition is detected. The alarm can be cleared by pressing and holding the SALINITY button (C) for 5 seconds. The audible alarm can be cleared for 24 hours or until the power to the unit is turned off and back on whichever comes first. However, the audible alarm will return if a new problem is detected. NOTE The audible alarm can be permanently disabled by removing the jumper from J2 on the control/power center power interface board. Audible Alarm Volume Control Audible alarm operation and volume control can be adjusted. To adjust volume control, press and hold the TEMPERATURE button (D) for 15 seconds. The system will beep once when pressed, once after 10 seconds and once after 15 seconds. Release the key after the third beep. Press the SALINITY button (C) within 5 seconds to enter the temperature change screen. NOTE The boost cycle is normally activated after 10 seconds, however, if the key is held down until after the third beep at 15 seconds, the Boost mode will not be changed. The system will display a ‘1’ followed by ‘F’ or ‘C’. Press the TEMPERATURE button (D) to move to the second parameter screen. The screen will display a 0, and the alarm volume will be fully reduced. The system will occasionally show a ‘2’ to display the screen number. Press the arrow button B to increase the volume and the arrow button A to reduce the volume. The volume increments from 0 to 100 in 20 steps. After each press of the arrow buttons, the alarm will activate to demonstrate the current volume level. When the alarm volume has been adjusted to the desired setting, press the SALINITY button (C) to confirm the new alarm volume setting. The change will be stored in permanent memory. If you do not wish to keep the change, wait 5 seconds, and the change screen will ‘time out’ and return to normal operation without keeping any changes to the system. Any changes made to the alarm volume will NOT be saved if this occurs. Page 35 5.3 Operation CAUTION Before attempting to operate refer to Section 4, Pool Water Preparation. Also, do not adjust Chlorine production above 00% until it is certain that salt has been dissolved in pool. Operating without salt will damage the Electrolytic Cell. Use of an external pool pump timer is not required with the salt water chlorinator power/control center. The chlorinator is designed to supply a sufficient amount of chlorine to sanitize pool water on a daily basis. If the system is operated for 24 hours a day at a 100% production rate, more chlorine would be generated than would be needed by most pools (1-3 PPM). The chlorinator control system has an internal timer which cycles the electrolytic cell on and off depending on what percent is set for the Chlorine Production Rate. For instance, at 100% the cell is on at all times while the pump is running. When the system is set at 90%, the cell will rest 10% of the time which helps prolong the cell life. In order to fine tune the chlorine production for any size pool just increase or decrease the Chlorine Production Rate from 00% to 100% until the chlorine level in the pool stabilizes between 1-3 PPM while the pump is running (see Section 5.4.2, “Apply Power” steps 1-5). NOTE The chlorinating system only operates when the pump is running. During hot weather months you may need to increase pump run time to allow sufficient chlorine production. If you are connected to the AquaLink RS® control system or use a Pool Pump Timer. The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all water in a residential pool pass through the filtration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However, many factors have an effect on actual pump and filter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun light, indoor/outdoor, screened/unscreened, filtration system, cold or hot weather, swimmer load, rain, organic debris, algae, etc., are all factors which contribute to either more or less pool pump and filter system run times. Because of these differences, it is extremely difficult to set an initial run time (starting point) for the pool pump and chlorinating system. Try initially setting the pool pump run-time to 12 hours per day. It will take a few days to get just the right pool pump operating time. Adjust accordingly using the steps listed in Section 5.4.2, “Apply Power” steps 1-5. When the AquaPure® is wired with a pool pump timer the results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or the local pool professional. The key points are: • Check Chlorine Level on a regular basis and adjust the chlorine production rate (%) accordingly. • Operate pool pump at least the minimum time needed for good filtration. • The Pool Pump Timer reduces energy consumption. NOTE Chlorine Production can be adjusted in 5% increments at the User Interface or through the AquaLink RS control system. NOTE Exception - For Cold Weather Operation: If the salt water chlorinator is set to run 24 hours a day through the winter, extremely cold water temperatures can contribute to a reduction in the operating life of the electrolytic cell. Sometimes it will be necessary to run the chlorinator at a very low production rate (10-20%) or to turn the unit off. See Section 6.5, Winterizing. Page 36 5.4 Startup 5.4.1 Shocking Shock (superoxidation) (see Section 4.4, 6. Shocking) the pool water from an outside source at the time of pool startup to burn off contaminates. During normal operating conditions the chlorinator is capable of generating a sufficient level of chlorine for sanitation within several hours. However, if the pool water has a high chlorine demand due to startup conditions then the chlorinator will not be able to produce enough chlorine to reach break-point chlorination. Shocking involves the manual addition of chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine. When the chlorine level is quickly raised to 5 - 15 ppm the pool water is said to have been shocked Wait until the chlorine level has returned to 1 - 3 ppm before turning on the salt water chlorinating system. 5.4.2 Apply Power 1. Turn on the pool pump. When the chlorinator is first turned on (cold), the unit will beep. Next it will self-calibrate the flow/temp/salinity sensor. After going through an internal test and calibration, the LCD will display the current setting for chlorine production (00% to 100%). During the calibration period “Wait” will appear. “Wait” means the unit is self calibrating and doing internal testing. This process usually takes less than 6 minutes. 2. Check salinity level by pressing the SALINITY button (C). It should read between 3.0 gpl and 3.5 gpl. If it does not, then press the SALINITY button (C) two or three more times until the salinity reading stabilizes. NOTE If still less than 3.0 gpl refer to pages 30 through 31 and adjust salt concentration level. (Maintain the Recommended Salinity Level of 3.0 to 3.5 gpl). If salinity is below 2.0 gpl the system will automatically turn the electrolytic cell off until the salinity is raised above 2.0 gpl. Operating with a low salt concentration will damage the electrolytic cell. Likewise, if salinity is above the range of measurement the system will automatically turn the electrolytic cell off until the salinity is lowered to a measurable level. Operating with high salt will damage the power center. If salinity is greater than 3.5 gpl, see Section 7, Troubleshooting. 3. Adjust the Chlorine Production to 50% by pressing the arrow buttons (A) or (B). 4. After 24 hours, use a reliable test kit to measure the pool water for free active chlorine. The ideal range to maintain is 1-3 PPM. If the chlorine content of the pool water is too low, increase chlorine production by pressing the up arrow button (B). If the chlorine content of the water is too high, decrease chlorine production by pressing the down arrow button (A). Adjust in 10% increments initially then in smaller increments (5%) as the correct chlorine level is approached. 5. Due to a varying chlorine demand of pool water, it may take a few days to determine the correct pool pump operating time and chlorine production percentage setting for your pool. Continue adjusting as necessary, allowing 24 hours between adjustments until the chlorine content of the pool water has stabilized at 1-3 PPM. 5.5 Operating in Winter See Section 6.5, Winterizing. Page 37 5.6 Recommendations DO List • Read and keep your manual in a safe place. • Increase chlorine production rate before a large number of bathers enter the pool and return to normal afterwards. • Increase chlorine production rate when temperature goes up. • Increase chlorine production rate when the number of bathers goes up. • Use stabilizer (cyanuric acid) to stabilize chlorine in pool. • Mount power center in shade or out of the direct sunlight whenever possible. • Decrease production rate when temperature goes down (for example, in the Fall and Winter seasons). • Take pool water sample to pool professional once per month. DON’T List • Do not get fertilizer in your pool. Fertilizers contain nitrates which cause a high chlorine demand on pool water. • 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. • Do not add chemicals or salt to the pool unless the chlorinator is turned off. • Do not let chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) drop below 50 PPM. • Do not add salt without first checking the pool salinity level. Too much salt can disable and possibly damage the chlorinator. Page 38 Section 6. User Maintenance Instructions The following information describes how to care for your sanitizing system. Important: Always test the chlorine levels of your pool before each use. 6.1 Daily 1. Chlorine Test. Test pool water chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Maintain ideal range by adjusting the chlorine production rate using Section 5.4, Startup. Recommended free chlorine is 1 - 3 ppm. This level can be as low as 0.6 PPM with the use of a Nature2® mineral cartridge that is within its normal operating life. (Nature2 systems and cartridges are sold seperately) NOTE It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two (2) places, one at the pool return line, the other well away from the pool return line. Compare the samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the system is producing chlorine. 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. 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. 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. 6.2 Monthly 1. Salt Level Test. Test pool water salt level by depressing the SALINITY button (C) and reading the LCD located on the control/power center user interface. Maintain the ideal range of 3.0 - 3.5 gpl for optimum performance. If additional salt is required, follow the procedures and charts described in Section 4. If salt level does not rise after 24 hours, see Section 7, Troubleshooting. 2. Pool Water Sample. Take water sample to local pool store for testing. 3. 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 50 - 75 PPM. Follow your pool professional’s recommendations. 4. Metals Test. It is recommended that the pool water be tested periodically for the presence of metals such as copper, 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 Electrolytic Cell Cleaning - As Needed 1. Automatic Cleaning. The chlorinator control system has an automatic cleaning feature (Cell Reversing) that removes scale deposits from the electrolytic cell. NOTE Automatic Cleaning does not interrupt Chlorine Production. “Scale” is a white crusty deposit that forms in excessively hard water or from pool water that is out of balance and in a scaling condition. Following the installation of the salt water chlorinator system, check the cell once a month for several months. If the cell is clean, replace and re-check at the end of each swimming season. If the cell shows excessive scaling, go on to Step 2, Acid Wash Cleaning. Page 39 WARNING Always turn pump off prior to installing or removing any components from the pool’s plumbing. Your pump/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. 2. Acid Wash Cleaning. If the electrolytic cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that every two (2) months 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: a. Use a high pressure jet of water from a garden hose. If the cell cannot be reasonably cleaned in this manner, acid cleaning is necessary. b. Remove the cell from the plumbing. If necessary, replace the cell with the spool piece (sold separately). Remove the sensor from the port. c. To acid clean the cell, plug the two (2) adjacent ports. Mix one (1) pint of muriatic acid with two (2) quarts of tap water in a plastic bucket. Use the appropriate port plugs on the ports. Do not use the sensor as damage can result. WARNING Inhalation of muriatic acid vapor or contact with skin or eyes can cause serious injury or death. Wear goggles and rubber gloves, and perform cleaning in a well-ventilated area. Add acid to the water, do not add water to the acid as splashing could result. d. Pour the acid/water mixture inside the cell. A foaming action will begin, which is caused by scale (calcium carbonate) being dissolved from the plates. If rigorous foaming action does not begin, the cell does not need to be cleaned (STOP THE CLEANING PROCESS - go on to next step “e”). Otherwise, allow the cell to remain in the solution until the foaming has stopped. However, do not leave in acid for more than 1/2 hour. IMPORTANT NOTE: Excessive acid washing will damage electrolytic cell. e. Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water and inspect. If deposits are still visible, repeat the cleaning procedure. Additional acid may need to be added to the solution. f. Rinse the cell again with clean tap water and inspect. If clean, replace the cell and resume normal operation. g. If the acid wash procedure is necessary, it is recommended that a sample of pool water be analyzed by an authorized Zodiac service representative for excessive hardness and/or improper water balance. h. If no scale or debris deposits are observed in the cell after two (2) bimonthly inspections, it is not necessary to continue bimonthly inspections. However, due to possible changes in pool water chemistry and filtering effectiveness, it is recommended that the cell be removed for inspection at least twice a year. 6.4 Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor Cleaning One time per year or as needed. It is rare but scale formations on the flow/temp/salinity sensor sometimes occur and will affect the accuracy of the salinity test. 1. Remove flow/temp/salinity sensor from the 3-port cell. Page 40 2. Brush with a mildly abrasive green fiber household cleaning pad. Contacts should be clean and bright. 3. Thoroughly rinse the flow/temp/salinity sensor with clean tap water. Replace and resume normal operation. 4. Turn power off and back on in order to recalibrate and reset Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor. Reset anytime Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor is unplugged. 6.5 Winterizing Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Below 51°F (11°C), chlorine production is not permitted; operating the chlorinator in cold water might result in over-chlorinated pool water. If more chlorine is needed, activating the “Boost” mode will override this cold water feature allowing chlorine production for 24 hours of operation. See Section 5.1, User Interface Controls. If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water may cause severe damage to the cell and flow/ temp/salinity sensor. Prevent freeze damage to the cell and flow/temp/salinity sensor by running pump continuously or winterize pool by draining water from pump, filter, and all intake and return lines. Remove the cell, clean and store it. Disconnect the flow/temp/salinity sensor from the power center, then remove it from the 3-port cell. Wrap flow/temp/salinity sensor in a plastic bag or protective covering and coil flow/ temp/salinity sensor and DC power cord cables around the power center for storage. An optional Spool Piece (sold separately) is available to replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance. This will enable pool pump to circulate water with the cell out the of line. See Figure 19. When a FREEZE CONTROLLER is used on pump equipment and the chlorinator is run through the winter, turn the CHLORINE PRODUCTION down to 10 - 20%. Otherwise, chlorine production will exceed the recommended level of 1 - 3 ppm.
