Waterpik Technologies Electronic Chlorine Generator Desired Output % adjustment knob, Operation

"Desired Output %" adjustment knob

The "Desired Output %" adjustment knob is located in the lower center of the Aqua Rite control panel. This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua Rite generates. Raise this setting to increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease chlorine level. Note: The "Desired Output %" adjustment will not function when the Aqua Rite is being controlled by the optional Jandy AquaLink RS.

Salt Display

The Salt Display shows the current salt concentration of the pool water. Readings are in ppm (parts per million). Refer to the Water Chemistry section for recom- mended salt levels as well as how to add/remove salt.

The factory default display is in English units (ppm). If Metric units (grams per liter) are preferred, push the small button next the the display once. The display will now show the pool temperature. With the temperature displayed, move the main switch from AUTO to SUPER CHLORINATE and back to AUTO. The temperature display will instantly switch to Celsius and the salt display will switch to grams/liter. Repeat this process to switch back to English units. (ppm and Fahrenheit)

Operation

Assuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are three factors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine the Aqua Rite will generate:

1.filter time each day (hours)

2.the "Desired Output %" setting

3.the amount of salt in the pool

The filter pump timer should be set so that all of the water in the pool passes through the filter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may have to be set longer to generate enough chlorine.

To find the optimum "Desired Output %" setting, start at approximately 50%. Test the chlorine level every few days and adjust the dial up or down accordingly. It usually takes 2-3 adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it should only take minor, infrequent adjustments. Because the chlorine de- mand of the pool increases with temperature most people find they have to adjust the dial up at the peak of the summer and down during the colder periods. The Aqua Rite automatically stops generating when the pool water temperatures drops below 50º F. This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae stop growing at this temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by switching to SUPER CHLORINATE for a day.

Prevent over-chlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Most pools require less chlorine during cold weather and the “Desired Output %” dial should be turned down accordingly.

When using the optional Jandy AquaLink® RS control:

The Jandy AquaLink RS is a multifunction pool controller and can fully control the function of the Aqua Rite chlorinator. The "AquaLink RS" LED on the Aqua Rite chlorinator will be illuminated when Jandy AquaLink RS is in control. Adjustment of the Aqua Rite output % and also Superchlorination can be controlled from the main menu of the Jandy AquaLink RS. Refer to the AquaLink RS instructions for more information. The Aqua Rite salt display and LED indicators operate as nor- mal, but the main switch and "Desired Ouput %" dial are disabled.
