1.Chlorine Test: Test pool water chlorine level with a reliable test kit. Maintain ideal range by adjusting IntelliChlor chlorine production rate. See “More and Less Output Buttons,” on page 6.

•Chlorine is 1-3 PPM.

Note: Above 3.0 PPM of chlorine may cause corrosion of pool metals and possibly cause damage to associated pool equipment.

Note: It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two places, one at the pool return line, the other well away from the pool return line. Compare the samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates IntelliChlor is producing chlorine.

2.pH Level Test: Test the pH level of your pool with a test kit. If necessary, adjust according to your pool professional’s recommendations. APSP standard of 7.2 - 7.8 is recommended.

Note: Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal dilution of pool water with fresh water. A buildup of byproducts can damage the electrolytic cell.

Monthly Service

To ensure that the correct chemical balance is maintained in your pool, it is important to perform the following recommended salt and pool water tests every month.

1.Salt Level Test: Check salt display lights on the unit and check that the green “GOOD” light is on.

•If the yellow ADD Salt light is on (see page 5), add salt by following the procedures and charts described on page 14 and 15.

•If salt level does not rise after 24 hours, see “Troubleshooting,” page 22.

•If the red LOW salt light is on, no chlorine will be produced until salt is added to the pool (see charts beginning on page 14).

2.Pool Water Sample: Take water sample to local pool store for testing.
