Operating IntelliChlor
This section describes the start up procedure and operating instructions for IntelliChlor.
Initial Start up Period
For the first 30 days of cell operation, the self-cleaning cycle will be set to 2 hours. After 30 days has elapsed,
the unit will automatically set itself to four hour self-cleaning cycle. This feature will clean the cell more often
on a new pool installation, then go to a more standard self-cleaning cycle for longer cell life.
Operation
Use of an external Pool Pump Timer is not required. IntelliChlor is designed to supply a sufficient
amount of chlorine to sanitize pool water on a daily basis. If IntelliChlor is operated 24 hours a day at 100%,
more chlorine would be generated than would be needed by most pools (1-3 PPM). IntelliChlor has its own
internal timer which cycles the electrolytic cell on and off depending on what percent the Chlorine Production
is set. For instance, at 100% the cell works all the time. When set at 80%, the cell is allowed to rest 20% of
the time prolonging cell life. In order to fine tune IntelliChlor to any size pool just increase or decrease the
Chlorine Production from 20% to 100%. Refer to “Control Buttons,” on page 6.
Note: Check Chlorine Level on a regular basis and adjust IntelliChlor accordingly.
CAUTION: Before attempting to operate IntelliChlor refer to “Recommendations and General Cautions,” on
page 8, and “Pool Water Preparation,” on page 17. Also, do not adjust Chlorine production above 20% until it is
certain that salt has been dissolved in pool. Operating without salt will result in the unit turning off and lighting
the ADD SALT light on the salt display. No chlorine will be produced until salt is added to the pool.
If you use a Pool Pump Timer The Association of Pool and 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,
