BACKGROUND

Auto-Chlor is a chlorine generator for pool and/or spa sanitation. It is the workhorse of chlorine generators. The system uses a very low concentration of salt, less than the concentration in a human teardrop, and converts it into free chlorine that kills algae and bacteria in your pool. After killing the algae and bacteria, the chlorine reverts back into sodium chloride. This process of purification continues, making the need to add extra sanitizing chemicals to your pool virtually unnecessary.

The level of necessary chlorine in the pool is affected by a number of factors such as sunlight, bather load, debris and water temperature, all of which increase sanitation and filtration demand.

Filtration

Proper filtration is critical for maintaining clean healthy water. Filtration increases clarity, and the Auto-Chlor Chlorine Generator increases sanitation and oxidation. It is customarily required in the pool industry that all the water in the pool pass through the filter at least one and a half (1 ½) times per day (~ 8 hours on most pools). During very heavy usage, the filter and chlorine generator may be run continuously.

Inadequate filtration: Inadequate filtration reduces water clarity and makes more work for the generator.

Sanitation/Oxidation

The Auto-Chlor Chlorine Generator has little effect on pH, total alkalinity, or stabilizer levels. These must still be monitored and adjusted to allow the system to have its greatest effect. If you use a good quality pool test kit and follow the simple instructions outlined in this manual, your Auto-Chlor Chlorine Generator will help you maintain a sparkling clean, trouble-free pool for many years with minimal effort. See the section titled “Understanding the Chemistry” for more information.

The Auto-Chlor Chlorine Generator produces a pure form of chlorine to sanitize and oxidize your pool water. The chlorine residual needs to be maintained at 1-3 ppm. This may be tested using a standard kit or by your local pool store.

To generate more chlorine:

1.Turn the Control Knob to a higher setting as necessary, 10% to 100% chlorine production level. See “Power Meter” in the next section for more details.

2.Ensure sufficient run time (at least 8 hours / 1 ½ turnovers) up to 24 hours per day.

3.Ensure salt level is correct and the Cell is clean (see “Salinity Indicator” in the next section).

4.Ensure proper water balance including pH and stabilizer levels (see “Understanding the Chemistry” for recommended levels).

5.Point pool jets down and to the side.

* Summer weather increases demands for chlorine.

To decrease chlorine production:

1.Turn the Control Knob to a lower setting, 10% to 100% chlorine production level. (See “Power Meter” in the next section)

2.Decrease run time as necessary.

Winterizing

Just like the pool plumbing, freezing may damage the system’s Cell and Flow Sensor. If severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures are possible, drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur.

Spring Start-up

DO NOT turn on the system until the pool water chemistry has been brought to required levels. See “Startup” section for more information.

AC-6000, AC-4000 specifications

Aqua Products is renowned for its innovative pool cleaning solutions, and the AC-4000 and AC-6000 robotic pool cleaners are prime examples of the company's commitment to quality and efficiency. Designed for residential pools, these machines offer advanced technology that ensures a thorough clean with minimal user intervention.

The Aqua Products AC-4000 is specifically tailored for smaller to medium-sized pools, managing to deliver impressive cleaning capabilities without compromising on energy efficiency.

This ensures that every inch of the pool floor and walls are scrubbed, while avoiding obstacles along the way. Users appreciate the lightweight design of the AC-4000, which makes it easy to handle and store.

On the other hand, the Aqua Products AC-6000 is designed for larger pools, providing even greater cleaning power and efficiency. Its robust construction allows it to tackle tough grime and dirt. The AC-6000 is equipped with a powerful filtration system that captures debris as small as 2 microns, ensuring crystal-clear water. Its dual motor system enhances navigation, allowing it to cover various pool shapes and depths effortlessly.

Both models come with easy-to-use features, including programmable cleaning cycles and a convenient remote control for manual navigation. They are also equipped with a swivel cable to prevent tangling during operation, which is essential for maintaining optimal performance.

Moreover, Aqua Products emphasizes ease of maintenance across both models. The filter cartridges can be easily removed and cleaned, ensuring the robot maintains peak functionality. This hassle-free approach means more time enjoying the pool and less time worrying about cleaning.

Energy-efficient, both the AC-4000 and AC-6000 are designed to operate with minimal power consumption, keeping utility costs down while delivering exceptional cleaning results.

In summary, both Aqua Products' AC-4000 and AC-6000 robotic pool cleaners embody a perfect blend of efficiency, technology, and ease of use. Whether for small or large installations, these machines are tailored to meet the diverse needs of pool owners, ensuring a spotless swimming experience season after season.
