1. Chlorine Test: Test pool water chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Maintain ideal range by
adjusting IntelliChlor chlorine production rate. See “Buttons,” on page 6.
Chlorine is 1-3 PPM.
Note: Above 3.0 PPM of chlorine may cause corrosion of pool metals and possibly cause
damage to associated pool equipment.
Note: It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two 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
IntelliChlor is producing chlorine.
2. pH Level Test: Test the pH level of your pool with a test kit. If necessary, adjust according to your
pool professional’s recommendations. APSP standard of 7.2 - 7.8 is recommended.
Note: 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 byproducts can damage the
electrolytic cell.
