INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1 4 3 5 6 2 7 1. Control Box 5. Filter 2. Cell 6. Pump 3. Flow switch 7. Spa line 4. Power / Timer The system comes in three sections, the Control Box, Cell and Flow Sensor. They are manufactured from the latest corrosion resistant materials to give you years of trouble free use, and installing them in the most sheltered position from sun and water will protect them from extreme weather conditions for years to come. Safety Measures 1. Only operate

CONFIRM LAYOUT: Lay out equipment pieces to be sure there is enough pipe space between the last piece of apparatus and the tees in the return line to fit the Flow Sensor and the Cell. A Vertical installation may be used to save space (see diagrams above). Install the Cell 1. The Cell and Flow Sensor must be installed downstream from the filter and heating devices but before any tees in the return line. The Cell may be installed horizontally or vertically so long as the Cell is pointe

Mount the Control Box 1. The Control Box must be mounted vertically on a flat surface and a minimum of 5 ft (1.5m) horizontal distance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa. 2. Locate a position for your Control Box within 10 ft (3½ meters) of where the Cell will be installed and within 2 ft of the power supply to ensure enough wire is available. 3. Because the box acts as a heat sink dispersing heat from inside the box, do not block the four sides

Wiring the Control Box to Standard Timer CAUTION: Check whether your chlorine generator operates on 120 volts or 240 volts (see label on the left side of the Control Box), and be sure to wire the system accordingly. CAUTION: It is critical to wire the chlorine generator in such a way that it can only operate when the pump is operating (i.e. load side). See instructions below for details. 1. Attach the green ground wire to the grounding

START U P BEFORE ADDING THE SALT o Balance the chemicals. See the titled “Understanding the Chemistry” for recommended water balance. Also, add 1 quart of metal remover and 1 quart of non-copper based algaecide to the pool, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will ensure that the transition to the Comfort-Chlor system will be quick and trouble-free. o Measure existing salt in your pool. Years of liquid chlorine use may cause the salt reading to be higher due to

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BACKGROUND Comfort-Chlor is a chlorine generator for pool and/or spa sanitation. It is the workhorse of chlorine generators. The system uses a very low concentration of salt, less than the concentration in a human teardrop, and converts it into free chlorine that kills algae and bacteria in your pool. After killing the algae and bacteria, the chlorine reverts back into sodium chloride. This process of purification continues, making the need to add extra san

CONTROLS Control Knob (1) – The Control Knob is used to adjust chlorine production and to turn the unit on or off. To increase chlorine production, turn the Control Knob up (clockwise). To decrease chlorine production, turn the Control Knob down (counterclockwise). To turn the unit off, turn the Control Knob down (counterclockwise) until it clicks. NOTE: When changing the power setting, the system takes up to 1 minute to ramp up (i.e. soft start). During this time, the green

Salinity Indicator – To check the salt level, turn the Control Knob clockwise to full power and check the light reading. 100% reading indicates that the salt level is sufficient. Return the Control Knob to the desired chlorine production setting depending on the chlorine level in your pool (10% to 100% production rate). Red Light - above the Power Meter indicates that the salt level in the pool is on the high side. This does not harm the Chlorine Generator, but is pro

MAINTENANCE Maintaining your Natural Generator requires minimal work but will maximize the performance and life of the system. POOL WATER TESTING: Pool water should be tested weekly. Cell Maintenance Our clear Cell allows for easy regular inspections for calcium build up. Visually check the Cell periodically, and clean it as necessary (1 to 2 times per year). Advanced self-cleaning technologies, including reverse polarization and IBT™ help the cell stay cleaner than other

Cleaning Without Optional Cleaning Cap: 1. Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical connections from the Cell and the barrel unions from the cell ends. 2. Remove the black o-rings on the ends of the Cell. 3. Soak entire cell either in undiluted white distilled vinegar or in a solution of diluted muriatic acid (10 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid). 4. Wait for foaming to stop (5-10 minutes when using muriatic acid; vinegar takes longer) 5. If muriatic acid was us

UNDERSTANDING THE CHEMISTRY Below is a table showing the recommended balance levels followed by a more detailed explanation of the factors affecting water chemistry. Maintaining these levels will prevent corrosion and scaling and will ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. You should test your water periodically. If the water chemistry needs adjustment, your authorized dealer or most pool stores can supply you with the appropriate chemicals and procedures. We recommend you either tak

lower total alkalinity and add baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to raise total alkalinity. Be sure to read and follow the respective manufacturer’s instructions. Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is necessary in most outdoor pools to maintain appropriate levels of chlorine. Chlorine stabilizer helps give an appropriate residual chlorine reading of the pool water. Without stabilizer, UV radiation from the sun destroys most chlorine within 2 hours, but excessive amounts of stabilizer can d
