BACKGROUND
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 Comfort- 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.

BASIC OPERATION

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.
