THE AutoChlor® SALT WATER CHLORINATION SYSTEM Congratulations on your choice of an AutoChlor® salt water chlorinator system for your swim- ming pool. The AutoChlor® salt water chlorinator you have purchased is designed for easy and simplistic operation and maintenance. By following these instructions you are assured years of trouble free operation. -
Page 5: Water Balance
Using only refi ned swimming pool salt add the desired quantity to the swimming pool water. To assist in the rapid dissolving and mixing, sweep or brush the solids until they are fully dis- solved. Undissolved salt may result in staining your pool fi nish. As salt is heavier than water it will continue to lie at the deepest point of your pool, even though the salt granules themselves have fully dissolved. - Page 6 SPECIAL NOTE ON CHLORINE: Your salt water chlorinator is not designed to bring your pool from a zero chlorine read- ing to an acceptable level but rather to maintain acceptable levels. Should it become necessary due to unforeseen circumstances (such as the unlikely event of chlorinator malfunction, severe weather patterns, or massive use of the swimming pool) that you fi...

Page 12: Warning/Indicator Lights
WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS (FIG. 1, ITEMS 1, 2, 3 & 4) There are four (4) warning indicator lights located on the front of your chlorinator. These advise at a glance the status of the chlorinator power supply and, when illuminated they indicate and advise about the situation that the chlorinator’s electronic monitoring system has detected. - Page 13 4. RED LIGHT: STEADY OVERLOAD NORMAL OPERATION in forward cycle FLASHING NORMAL OPERATION (RP MODEL ONLY) in reverse cycle STEADY – When this light is illuminated and STEADY it will also be accompanied by a beeping alarm alerting you of this situation. The chlorinator has overloaded and shut down to prevent any damage.
- Page 14 CHLORINE CONTROLLER (FIG. 1, ITEM 5) The chlorine controller regulates the amount of chlorine production relevant to the position it has been set to. By adjusting the chlorine controller clockwise you increase chlorine manufac- ture and by turning anti clockwise you reduce production. Do not attempt to turn the controller beyond its stops as this could cause damage to your unit that is not covered by warranty.
- Page 15 SPECIAL NOTE ON TIMERS (TIMER MODELS ONLY): If you require your AutoChlor® salt water chlorinator to be connected to a cheaper o peak tari we recommend the use of an appropriate quartz time clock for that purpose. The unit may also be hard wired in however, in case of incorrect wiring or damage caused by modifi...
- Page 16 UNDER WATER POOL LIGHTS (POOL LIGHT MODELS ONLY) Where requested, and as an optional extra, some AutoChlor® models have swimming pool under water light transformers fitted. This special transformer allows you to connect your pool light lead to the special connection supplied and operate them from the chlorinator power supply.
- Page 17 Normally once set, these controls do not require further adjustment except perhaps for the seasonal ones suggested earlier. Set your chlorine controller to achieve maximum and optimum results for your pool situation. Please remember that an over chlorinated pool is not a healthy pool, so it may not be nec- essary for you to run your chlorinator at maximum output to maintain recommended chlorine levels.
- Page 18 CHLORINATOR RUNNING TIMES Chlorinator running times will vary from pool to pool, and are dependent upon the situation they are installed into, pool size and the overall usage of the pool in general. Several factors will determine the operational time of the chlorinator to be able to produce sufficient chlorine for your pools requirements: TIME: The longer you run your filter plant and chlorinator, the more chlorine you will produce.
