Pool Water Preparation

Determining Pool Size (m3 of Water inYour Pool)

•Rectangular Pools: Length x width (meters) x average depth x 1000

•Circular Pools: Diameter x diameter x average depth x 785

•Oval Pools: Length x width (meters) x average depth x 893

•Sloping Sides: Multiply total m3 by 0.85 = m3 capacity.

Determining Pool Size (Gallons ofWater inYour Pool)

•Rectangular Pools: Length x width x average depth x 7.5

•Circular Pools: Diameter x diameter x average depth x 5.9

•Oval Pools: Length x width x average depth x 6.7

•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 byproducts can damage the electrolytic cell.

IntelliChlor Pass-Through Cell

After new pool construction has been completed, in order to prevent debris from entering the IntelliChlor cell assembly, it is recommended that the IntelliChlor pass-through cell (P/N 520588) be installed before installing the IntelliChlor cell.After the pool system has flushed the debris from the pipes, remove the pass-through cell and install the IntelliChlor cell.
