Operating Instructions

When using a pool pump timer: The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that all water in a residential pool pass through the filtration system at least once every 12 hours (referred to as pool water turnover). However, many factors have an effect on actual pump and filter system run times. Pool size, source of water, direct sun light, indoor/outdoor, screened and unscreened, filtration system, cold or hot weather, swimmer load, rain, organic debris, algae, etc., are all factors which contribute to either more or less pool pump and filter system run times. Because of these differences, it is extremely difficult to set an initial run time (starting point) for the pool pump and chlorinating system.

Try initially setting the pool pump timer to 12 hours. It will take a few days to get just the right amount pool pump operating time. When the Chlorinator is wired with a pool pump timer (see page 6) results will vary

greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with either the pool builder or your pool professional.

WARNING! IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Read all the safety precautions in this manual before attempting any electrical wiring. Be sure to read and follow all safety Instructions on page ii. Wiring should only be performed by a qualified professional. When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Before attempting installation of service, ensure that all power to the circuit supplying power to the system is disconnected/switched off at the circuit breaker. 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.

•Grounding (earth bonding) is required. The unit should be installed by a qualified service person and grounded.

CAUTION - Install the IntelliChlor unit a minimum of two (2) feet from the heater outlet.

•Allow ample access to the IntelliChlor control panel buttons and the IntelliChlor Power Center.

•Pipe couplings: Schedule 80, maximum pressure 150 psi at 70° F.

•Operate unit with minimum flow of 20 gpm. For high flow applications, use a bypass loop.
