| Q. |
How do I add salt to the pool? |
| A. |
Turn pump on to circulate pool water.
Turn the AquaPure off by setting CHLORINE PRODUCTION to 00%.
Determine amount of salt to be added from the salt chart.
Broadcast the salt around the outer perimeter of the pool for quick and even
distribution.
To avoid clogging the filter or damaging power supply and pump, do not add salt
through the skimmer or surge tank.
Brush the pool bottom and allow water to circulate for 24 hours to dissolve completely
and mix evenly with the pool water.
24 hours after adding salt, turn on the AquaPure, reset it to the previous production
level. |

| Q. |
What type of salt do I need to use? |
| A. |
The preferred salt is an evaporated,
granulated, food quality salt.
Do not use salt with yellow prussiate of soda or any anti-caking agent with the
Chlorinator. Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms of evaporated
salt and may be used but will take longer to dissolve. Rock salt is the least
desirable because of insoluble impurities (dirt mixed with rock salt). |

|
| Q. |
What percentage of production should
I set my unit at? |
| A. |
Every pool requires a different amount
of chlorine depending on the size, climate,
use, bather load, and water makeup, therefore
it will vary with ever pool during each
season. At startup of the pool set the
production level at 50% and check the
chlorine level 24 hours later. When the
level is correct it should read between
1 and 3 ppm. If the level is low increase
it using the More Chlorine button, and
if it is high decrease it using the Less
Chlorine button. Adjust in 10% increments
then in smaller increments as the correct
level is approached. |

| Q. |
How do I get my unit to quit
flashing "bo" and
some other number? |
| A. |
The "bo" that is flashing
stands for boost, meaning the unit is
in the boost mode. It will remain in
this mode for the next 24 hours that
the unit is energized. To manually override
the boost mode, press the temperature
button and hold it for ten seconds. The
unit will "beep" when you first
press the temperature button and then
after ten seconds it will "beep" again.
The unit should quit flashing and return
to normal operation. |

| Q. |
How do I determine if my cell needs
to be cleaned? How do I clean my cell? |
| A. |
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. Turn
off the pool pump, remove the DC cord
from the cell, unscrew the cell unions
and remove it from the plumbing. Some
filters 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:
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. To acid clean the cell, mix
one quart of muriatic acid with one gallon of tap water in a plastic bucket.
Always add acid to the water, never add water to the acid. Always wear eye protection
and use rubber gloves. Always work in a well ventilated area. Immerse the cell
in the solution. 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 to
rinse the cell). 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).
Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water and inspect. If deposits
are still visible, immerse the cell
again in the solution for further
cleaning. Additional
acid may need to be added to the solution. Rinse the cell again with
clean tap water and inspect. If clean,
replace the cell and resume normal
operation. |

| Q. |
How do I get the alarm beeper to turn
off? |
| A. |
Press the salinity button and hold
it for 5 seconds. The unit will beep
when it is pressed and then again after
5 seconds, this will silence the alarm
for 24 hours or until the unit is turned
off and on again. The unit will however
alarm again if a different service condition
occurs. |

| Q. |
How do we protect stone products when using a salt water chlorinator? |
| A. |
Choose the proper stone, seal the stone, reseal the stone on a regular basis. |
