SYSTEM OVERVIEW

System Overview

Although the Pool Pilot is easy to use, it is important to read through the manual before attempting to operate the unit. The Pool Pilot Digital, #75003, is a salt chlorination system for pool or spa purification, which is designed to operate in the following configurations:

•Purifier – standard mode, manually adjusted purifier output. See pg. 27 for system operation and programming.

•Purifier and pH Control – optional mode – standard purifier mode operating in conjunction with the optional pH Acid Feed Pump and Tank System (#75004, #75005, #75006, #75007), which is manually programmed for daily pH control. This mode will require #75008 Auxiliary Relay Kit when using the Digital “Set Relay 1” to control the main circulation pump. See pg. 28 for system operation and programming.

•Total Control – optional mode - utilizing the optional #75001 Pool Chemistry Controller for automatic daily adjustments of purifier and pH, based upon user programmed settings. See pg. 28 for system operation and programming.

The Pool Pilot has a digital interface that allows the unit to be operated through a Jandy® Aqualink RS (versions I and K only), Polaris® EOS, or Pentair IntelliTouch® electronic remote panel located in your home (if so equipped), or through an external ORP controller. The Pool Pilot Digital can also be programmed to control the main circulation pump operating times or be controller by an external timer/switch/relay.

Chlorine Generation (Manual purifier control)

The system requires a low concentration of dissolved salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. This level is normally below the taste threshold. The Pool Pilot automatically converts the salt into free chlorine, which keeps your pool sanitized and algae free. The chlorine reverts back to a salt after treating the water. Since the salt is constantly recycled, there is minimal loss during a swimming season. However, salt can be lost due to filter backwash, rain water overflow, leaks, or bather splashing/carryout, but not through evaporation.

The Pool Pilot Control Unit is designed to handle the purification needs of residential and commercial swimming pools. The cell must be properly sized according to the chlorine requirements. The amount of chlorine required for proper sanitization will vary based on the pool size and various factors such as water temperature, bather load, exposure to direct sunlight, special water features, and pump runtime, particularly in commercial applications.
