IntelliChlor Installation and User’s Guide

Section 3

User Maintenance

This section describes how to maintain the IntelliChlor chlorination system.

Daily service.

None is needed.

Weekly service.

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.

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).

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