Salt & Chemistry
-
Salt: 3,000β3,500 ppm
-
Free chlorine: 1β3 ppm
-

-
Alkalinity: 80β120 ppm
-
Calcium hardness: 200β400 ppm
-
Cyanuric acid: 30β50 ppm
Test salt weekly and adjust as needed. See our salt level guide.
Cell Cleaning
Clean the cell every 3β6 months (or when scaling appears):
-
Turn off the chlorinator and pump
-
Remove the cell from the plumbing
-
Mix muriatic acid and water (1:4 ratio) in a non-metallic container
-
Soak cell for 10β15 minutes
-
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water
-
Reinstall
The cell has self-cleaning auto-polarity, but manual cleaning is still recommended periodically.
Troubleshooting
No chlorine production: Check salt levels, clean the cell, ensure proper water flow.
Low salt warning: Add salt and allow 24 hours for full circulation.
Flow sensor error: Ensure pump is running and water flow is unobstructed.
Cold weather (below 60Β°F): Chlorine production reduces or stops. Use winter mode or shut off and store the unit.
