5. If optional AQL CHEM sensing is NOT used To find the optimum desired output setting start at approximately 50 Test the chlorine level every few days and adjust the setting 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 infre quent adjustments Because the chlorine demand of the pool increases with tem perature most people find they have to adjust the desired output up at the peak of the summer and down during the colder periods The Aqua Rite Pro automatically stops generating when the pool water tempera tures drops below 50 F This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae stop growing at this temperature You can override this low temperature cutoff by using the Super Chlorinate function for a day 11 Prevent overchlorination during cold weather Check chlorine levels periodically Most pools require less chlorine during cold weather and the desired output 90 setting should lowered accordingly Maintaining the Aqua Rite Pro System To maintain maximum performance it is recommended that you open and visually in spect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter The Aqua Rite Pro will remind you to do this by displaying the message Inspect Clean Cell after approximately 500 hours of operation The Aqua Rite Pro electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the electronic control s logic In mo

30. salt in your pool spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be small This loss is due primarily to the addition of water because of splashing backwashing or draining because of rain Salt is not lost due to evaporation Type of Salt to Use Itis important to use only sodium chloride NaCl salt that is greater than 99 pure This is common food quality or water softener salt and is usually available in 40 80 Ib bags labeled Coarse Solar Salt Itis also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets however it will take longer for them to dissolve Do not use rock salt salt with yellow prussiate of soda salt with anti caking additives or iodized salt How to Add or Remove Salt For new plaster pools wait 10 14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster to cure Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool Brush the salt around to speed up the dissolving process do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain use pool vac if there is no main drain to allow the salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change in salt concentration The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refill with fresh water Always check stabilizer cyanuric acid when checking salt These levels will most likely dec
31. st cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency In areas where water is hard high mineral content and in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get out of balance the cell may require periodic cleaning Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite Pro cell Turn off power to the Aqua Rite Pro before removing the electrolytic cell Once re moved look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation light colored crusty or flaky deposits on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter and caught on the plates If no deposits are visible reinstall If deposits are seen use a high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off If this is not successful use a plastic or wood tool do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates and scrape deposits off of plates Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool old pool water is usually the cause If this is not corrected you may to have to periodically clean the cell The simplest way to avoid this 15 to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified Mild Acid Washing Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majority of deposits To acid wash turn off power to Aqua Rite Pro Remove cell from piping In aclean plastic container mix a 4 1 solution of water to muriatic acid one gallon of water to one quart of
