IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Important Notice: Attention Installer: This manual contains important information

about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A

RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS READ. AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free copies of these instructions.

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 injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified Pool Service Professional.

WARNING: Do not operate electrolytic cell without proper flow or water circulation. A build-up of flammable gases will result in hazardous conditions.

CAUTION - This chlorinator is for use with permanently-installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools.

A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

CAUTION - When using IntelliChlor with an IntelliTouch system, it is recommended to wire the IntelliChlor Power Center to the pump side of the relay located in the IntelliTouch Load Center. This

wiring method does not require a ground fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) to protect the circuit. A green colored terminal (or a wire connector marked “G”, “GR”, “Ground” or “Grounding”) is provided within the terminal compartment in the Power Center transformer enclosure. 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. The power supply must be interconnected with pool pump motor power source. This insures the IntelliChlor chlorinator and pool pump will switch on and off together.
