Section 1. Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING

When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fi re or injury, service should only be attempted by a qualifi ed Pool

Service Professional.

WARNING

Do not operate electrolytic cell without proper fl ow or water circulation. A buildup of fl ammable gases would result in hazardous conditions.

WARNING

Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC, NFPA-70) and/or any other applicable local and national installation codes.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect only to a circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is ground current fl owing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect this unit and contact a qualifi ed service representative before using.

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 ensures 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.

It is recommended that the water Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor is installed in the same piping as the electrolytic cell, without any valves or diverters between them. (See page 5 Figure 1).

The Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor must be mounted as shown on page 12 Figure 8.

Page 5

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, Jandy Pool Products, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the AquaPure 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 purifi cation 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

.

ATTENTION INSTALLER: Various application notes (more detailed instructions) are available from the Dealer covering installation, operation, maintenance, and plumbing of the chlorinator system.

The AquaPure uses 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 AquaPure then reuses the salt and the process starts over again.

The AquaPure system is comprised of the following three component parts and an optional pool pump timer.

Control Center

Electrolytic Cell

The control center converts AC electrical current to a low voltage DC current which is required by the cell to perform the electrolysis. The control center is connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the electrolytic cell only operates when the pool pump is on. The fl ow portion of the

Flow/Temp/Salinity

Sensor

is a backup device only.

The AquaPure 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 AquaPure is on each day. The

AquaPure automatically cleans the Cell electrodes once every 3 hours by reversing polarity. This does not interrupt the production of Chlorine.

Page 7

Flow/Temperature/Salinity Sensor

The Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor only allows the Cell to operate if there is adequate water fl ow 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 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) whenever the salinity button is pressed. This eliminates the need for manual pool water salinity testing.

Pool Temperature is now available on all models by pressing the

Temperature

button.

Pool Pump Timer

A Pool Pump Timer is not included as part of your AquaPure. It is recommended that a timer or an AquaLink RS control system be used to save on energy and prolong the service life of your pool pump and the AquaPure.

3.3 Installing APURE700 and APURE1400 Control Center

1. Locate the control center as close to the pump and fi ltration system as possible. Make sure that the DC power cord and the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor cable can reach that section of pipe selected for the Cell and Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor installation. Do not install the Control Center within 10 ft (3 m) of the pool edges.

2. Use hardware provided and mount the control center at eye level. Leave suffi cient clearance on all sides of the chassis backplate. If possible, leave a minimum of 9½ inch (241 mm) on the left side.

Position the backplate on the mounting surface. Mark screw centers and drill four ¼ inch (6.35 mm) holes spaced 10

3 /

8

inches (264 mm) on the horizontal center and 6

3 /

8

inches (162 mm) on the vertical center. Install the anchors (provided) into the mounting surface. See Figure 6.

3. Install the screws (provided) into the anchors, leaving approximately ¼” of the screw shaft exposed.

Position the backplate keyhole slots over the four mounting screws. Press the control center chassis down fi rmly so that the screws are secure in the keyhole slots. Tighten the screws until snug.

4. Remove the four screws that secure the control center front cover. Remove the front cover.

6. Check source voltage. (All units are factory wired for 240 VAC). In order to use on 120 VAC, the internal factory wiring of the control center must be changed. (See wiring diagram page 6

Figure 2).

7. Use #12/3 insulated wire and conduit. Wire control center transformer to pool pump power source.

The control center should be connected to the pump motor switch or automatic timer (Pool Pump

Timer) as shown in the diagram on page 6 Figure 2. The fl ow portion of the Flow/Temp/Salinity

Sensor is a backup device only. Attach the third wire (Ground) from the electrical panel to the ground point inside the Control Center. Earth bonding in Section 3.4 must also be accomplished to ensure personal safety and safety of equipment.

3.4 Earth Bonding (Grounding)

A solid, copper # 8 AWG (8.4 mm 2 ) wire is recommended for connecting the control center to a Permanent

Earth Ground connection that is acceptable to the local inspection authority. Refer to your local codes for the acceptable grounding wire gauge. Attach the bonding point located on bottom of the chassis backplate to a Common Earth Bonding Point. Do not use the AquaPure as the Common Bonding Point. Each piece of non-AquaPure related pool equipment requiring a ground should be bonded to the Common, Approved

Earth Bonding Point. Never ground pool pump to the chassis backplate.

3.5 Installing the APURE700 and APURE1400 Cell and Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor

NOTE: Maximum Operating Pressure is 345 kPa or 50 PSI - Minimum Flow Rate is 30 GPM (114 LPM).

1. Be sure pool pump is turned off.

WARNING

ATTENTION INSTALLER: If The Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor is not installed properly, it may allow the

Cell to operate without water fl ow. This would cause a buildup of fl ammable gases which can result in FIRE or EXPLOSION.

• Mount as shown in Figure 8. This will result in the most reliable operation.

• The Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor must be mounted:

(1) in the same line as the Electrolytic Cell.

(2) 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.

2. It is recommended that the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor and Electrolytic Cell be installed in the pool return line after the fi lter and heater. The Cell can be installed in either a horizontal (as shown in

Figure 3) or a vertical position.

3. Position the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor and Cell in the recommended position (see page 8 Figure 3, page 9 Figures 4 and 5, and page 5 Figure 1).

4. Locate a suitable section of pipe, approximately 17 inches (432 mm) long or follow the recommended plumbing diagrams beginning on page 9, Figures 4 and 5. The Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor cable and

Cell DC cord must be able to reach from the control center to this section.

Section 4. Pool Water Preparation

4.1 Determining Pool Size (m 3 of Water in Your Pool)

• Rectangular Pools

Average length (meters) x average width (meters) x average depth (meters) = m 3 capacity.

• Circular Pools

Diameter (meters) x diameter (meters) x average depth (meters) x 0.79 = m 3 capacity.

• Oval Pools

Long diameter (meters) x short diameter (meters) x average depth (meters) x 0.79 = m 3 capacity.

• Sloping Sides

Multiply total m 3 by 0.85 = m 3 capacity.

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.

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.

(See General Rule of Sizing notes below.).

Commercial Pools

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 AquaPure or adding more than one AquaPure 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

AquaPure output %, increase the Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) to 75-85 PPM, and super chlorinate with other chlorine agents other than the AquaPure, to reach break-point chlorination.

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. See Table 2, page 20.

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. (Super

Chlorinate (shock) to remove Chloramines at the initial startup of the pool).

5. Super Chlorination (Shocking) 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. When the chlorine level is raised to 5 - 15 PPM the pool water is said to have been Super

Chlorinated (shocked). As pool water is continuously passed through the AquaPure Electrolytic Cell, all pool water inside the cell is being Super Chlorinated. When the AquaPure is used on pools the pool water sparkles and does not burn the eyes because of the absence of Chloramines.

NOTE On initial startup of a pool, it is best to Super Chlorinate from an outside source, i.e., use a shock treatment available at your local pool supplier.

6. pH produced by the AquaPure is close to Neutral pH. However, other factors usually cause the pH of the pool water to rise. Therefore, the pH in a pool chlorinated by the AquaPure tends to stabilize at approximately 7.8. This is within Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) standards. If the pool pH rises above 7.8 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.

7. 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 AquaPure system. The individual performing the TDS test will then subtract the salinity level to arrive at the correct TDS level.

Page 18

8. New Pool Water in a recently fi lled or newly refi nished pool may contain undesirable matter. This undesirable matter could interfere with the AquaPure’s ability to chlorinate properly. Make sure the water is tested by a pool professional and properly balanced before turning on the AquaPure.

4.5 Optimum Pool Water Conditions

In accordance with Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) standards, we recommend the following water balance conditions be maintained on an on-going basis to protect the pool fi nish 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. Above 3.0 PPM may cause corrosion of metals.

Combined Chlorine (Chloramines) None (Super Chlorinate to remove all Chloramines).

pH

7.2 - 7.8 (Use Muriatic Acid to lower pH and Soda Ash to raise pH).

Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 50 - 75 PPM

Total Alkalinity

Calcium Hardness

80 - 120 PPM

150 - 400 PPM

Metals (Copper, Iron, Manganese) None

Nitrates

None

It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two places. Compare the samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the AquaPure 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.

4.7 Salt (NaCl sodium chloride)

For a new pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait 14 days (surface should be completely cured) before adding salt. Follow the pool surface Manufacturer’s guidelines for your particular pool. For vinyl and fi berglass pools, salt can be added at start up.

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 preferred 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 fi ttings and surface fi nishes 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).

Page 19

4.7.3 How Much Salt to Use?

Use Table 1 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 AquaPure has not been wired and turned on yet, a hand held meter calibrated for NaCl (salt) can be used to determine the existing salt concentration of the water. If the AquaPure is wired in (connected), use it to determine the salinity.

Set Chlorine Production to 00%. Operating the unit above 00% production without salt will damage

Cell. The Salinity button

C

on the AquaPure 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 fi xtures.

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 AquaPure 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 fi lter or damaging control center and pump, do not add salt through the

skimmer, main drain, or surge tank.

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 AquaPure and set to desired Production rate (Press arrow button

B

).

NOTE For a new pool or newly resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait 14 days (surface should be completely cured) before adding salt. Follow the pool surface manufacturers guidelines for your particular pool. For vinyl and fi berglass pools, salt can be added at start up.

Page 20

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, Jandy Pool Products, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the AquaPure 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 purifi cation 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

5.2 Reading the Display

Cell On

Cell Resting

The

CELL ON

indicator shows that the cell has been turned on by the control center. Some reasons for the

CELL ON

indicator not being on during normal operation, are:

CHLORINE PRODUCTION

set to 00%,

CHLORINE PRODUCTION

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.

During the Normal chlorine production cycle when the unit is set for less than 100% the cell will periodically rest, i.e., not make chlorine.

The

CELL RESTING

indicator shows that the cell has been turned off by the control center. The reason for the

CELL RESTING

indicator, during normal operation, is

CHLORINE PRODUCTION

set to less than 100%.

Flow or No Flow Indication

Cell Reversing

When the control center determines that water is fl owing past the Flow/

Temp/Salinity Sensor, the

FLOW

indicator is displayed. When no fl ow is detected, the

NO FLOW

is displayed and the cell is turned off.

The automatic cleaning cycle of the AquaPure 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 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 pages 17 through 20.

Add Salt

The 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 AquaPure 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 “Service Codes” page 33. Problems can range from insuffi cient salinity to the DC cord not connected.

See troubleshooting.

Audible Alarm

An audible alarm (beep) sounds once per hour, and only for the fi rst 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 fi rst. However, the audible alarm will return if a new problem is detected.

NOTE The audible alarm can be permanently disabled by removing the blue jumper from J10 on the control center front cover PCB.

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 beeper will activate to demonstrate the current volume level.

When the beeper volume has been adjusted to the desired setting, press the

Salinity

button to confi rm the new beeper 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 beeper volume will

NOT be saved if this occurs.

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.

5.3 Operation

CAUTION

Before attempting to operate refer to page 15 - 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 Electrolytic Cell.

Use of an external Pool Pump Timer is not required. The AquaPure is designed to supply a suffi cient amount of chlorine to sanitize pool water on a daily basis. If the AquaPure is operated 24 hours a day at

100%, more chlorine would be generated than would be needed by most pools (1-3 PPM). The AquaPure 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 90%, the cell is allowed to rest 10% of the time prolonging cell life. In order to fi ne tune the AquaPure to any size pool just increase or decrease the Chlorine Production from 00% to 100%. (see “Apply Power” Section 5.4.2, page

25, steps 1-5 )

• Check Chlorine Level on a regular basis and adjust AquaPure accordingly.

Page 27

If you use a Pool Pump Timer. The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all water in a residential pool pass through the fi ltration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However, many factors have an effect on actual pump and fi lter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun light, indoor/outdoor, screened/unscreened, fi ltration 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 fi lter system run times. Because of these differences, it is extremely diffi cult to set an initial run time (starting point) for the pool pump and chlorinating system.

Try initially setting the Pool Pump Timer to 12 hours. It will take a few days to get just the right pool pump operating time. Adjust accordingly using the steps listed below ( Section 5.4.2, steps 1-5 ). When the AquaPure is wired with a Pool Pump Timer (See page 6 Figure 2) 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:

• Operate pool pump at least the minimum time needed for good fi ltration.

• The Pool Pump Timer reduces energy consumption.

NOTE Exception - For Cold Weather Operation: If the AquaPure is run 24 hours a day through the winter, extremely cold water temperatures can affect Cell life. Sometimes it will be necessary to run the AquaPure at a very low production rate of 10% to 20% or to turn the unit off. See Winterizing on page 29.

NOTE The generator only operates when the pump is running. During hot weather months you may need to increase pump run time to allow suffi cient chlorine production.

5.4 Startup

Shocking (Super Chlorination) is recommended before pool startup. Start out with good pool water from the beginning. The AquaPure will build up a suffi cient level of chlorine for sanitation in several hours.

However, if pool water has a high demand from the startup the AquaPure will not be able to produce enough chlorine to reach break point chlorination. So, it is best to super chlorinate from an outside source at the time of pool startup. Then, wait until the chlorine level has returned to 1 to 3 PPM before turning on the

AquaPure.

1. Turn on the pool pump switch or Pool Pump Timer. When the AquaPure is fi rst 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 usually takes less than 6 minutes.

2. Check salinity level by pressing the

Salinity

button. It should read between 3.0 gpl and 3.5 gpl. If it does not then press the

Salinity

button two or three more times until the salinity reading stabilizes.

NOTE If still less than 3.0 gpl refer to pages 18 through 20 and adjust salt level. (Maintain the Recommended

Salinity Level of 3.0 to 3.5 gpl). If salinity is below 2.0 gpl the AquaPure will automatically turn the cell off until the salinity is raised above 2.0 gpl, since operating with low salt will damage Cell. Likewise, if salinity is above the range of measurement the AquaPure will automatically turn the cell off until the salinity is lowered to a measurable level, since operating with high salt will damage the control center. If salinity is greater than

3.5 gpl, see Troubleshooting, page 30.

3. Adjust the Chlorine Production to 50% by pressing the arrow button

B

.

Page 28

4. After 24 hours, use a reliable test kit to test 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 arrow button B . If the chlorine content of the water is too high, decrease chlorine production by pressing the arrow button A . Adjust in 10% increments initially then in smaller increments 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 Winterizing on Page 29.

5.6 Recommendations

DO List

• Read and keep your manual in a safe place.

• Increase Chlorine Production before party time and return to normal afterwards.

• Increase Chlorine Production when temperature goes up.

• Increase Chlorine Production when number of guests goes up.

• Use Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) to Stabilize Chlorine in Pool.

• Mount Control Center in shade or out of the direct sunlight whenever possible.

• Decrease Production when temperature goes down during Fall/winter etc.

• 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 any pool water balancing chemicals (including salt) unless the AquaPure is turned off.

• Do not let Chlorine Stabilizer drop below 50 PPM.

• Do not add salt without fi rst checking the pool salinity level. Too much salt can disable and possibly damage the chlorinator.

Page 29

Section 6. User Maintenance Instructions

The following information describe how to care for your AquaPure.

6.1 Daily

None.

6.2 Weekly

1. Chlorine Test. Test pool water chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Maintain ideal range by adjusting the AquaPure chlorine production rate as discussed on pages 25 through 26 steps 3, 4, and 5.

Recommended Free Chlorine is 1-3 PPM.

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 the AquaPure 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.

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.

6.3 Monthly

1. Salt Level Test. Test pool water salt level by depressing the

Salinity

button

C

and reading the LCD located on the front cover of the AquaPure control center. Maintain the ideal range of 3.0-3.5 gpl for optimum performance of the AquaPure. If additional salt is required, follow the procedures and charts described on pages 17 through 20. If salt level does not rise after 24 hours, see Troubleshooting on page 30.

2. Pool Water Sample. Take water sample to local pool store for testing.

3. Total Alkalinity Test. Test pool water for total alkalinity with a test kit. Adjust according to your pool professional’s recommendations. 80-120 PPM is the APSP Standard.

4. 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.

5. Calcium Hardness. Test pool water for calcium hardness level using test kit or by having a water sample tested by a pool professional. If necessary, adjust according to your pool professional’s recommendations. APSP standard of 150-400 PPM is recommended.

6. 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 the local pool professional.

6.4 Electrolytic Cell Cleaning - As Needed

1. Automatic Cleaning. The control center has an automatic cell cleaning feature (Cell Reversing) that removes scale deposits from the electrolytic cell.

NOTE Automatic Cleaning does not interrupt Chlorine Production.

Page 30

“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 AquaPure, 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.

2. Acid Wash Cleaning. If the electrolytic cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that every two months the cell be removed and inspected for scale formation and/or debris. Some fi lters 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. Replace the cell with the spool piece, if necessary. Remove the sensor from the port.

c. To acid clean the cell, plug the two adjacent ports. Mix one pint of muriatic acid with two 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. *(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 AquaPure service representative for excessive hardness and/or improper water balance.

h. If no scale or debris deposits are observed in the cell after two bimonthly inspections, it is not necessary to continue bimonthly inspections. However, due to possible changes in pool water chemistry and fi ltering effectiveness, it is recommended that the cell be removed for inspection at least twice a year.

6.5 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 threaded PVC Tee or 3-Port Cell by turning counterclockwise or removing the union nut.

2. Brush with a mildly abrasive green fi ber household cleaning pad. Contacts should be clean and bright.

Page 31

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.

6.6 Winterizing

Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Below 51 Degrees Fahrenheit chlorine production is not permitted, i.e., operating chlorinator in cold water might allow the pool water to become over chlorinated.

If more chlorine should be needed, activating the “Boost” mode will override this cold water feature

allowing chlorine production for 24 hours of operation. See page 21.

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, fi lter, and all intake and return lines. Remove the cell, clean and store it. Disconnect the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor from the control center, then remove it from the threaded PVC Tee or 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 control center for storage. Cap the third port of the cell with provided plug and cap.

An optional Spool Piece is available to replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance. This will enable the pool pump to circulate water with the cell out of the line. See Figure 14.

When a FREEZE CONTROLLER is used on pump equipment and the AquaPure is run through the winter, turn the AquaPure CHLORINE PRODUCTION down to 10 - 20%. Otherwise, chlorine production will exceed the recommended level of 1.0 - 3.0 PPM.

NOTE Above 3.0 PPM may cause corrosion of pool metals and possibly cause damage to associated pool equipment.
