The Pool Pilot Cubby Digital is a salt chlorination system designed for pool or spa water purification.Although
the Pool Pilot is easy to use, it is important to read through the entire manual before attempting to operate
the system. How Your Chlorine Generator Works
The system requires a low concentration of dissolved salt (sodium chloride) in the water. The salt concentration
level is normally maintained below the taste threshold. The Cubby Digital automatically converts the salt
into chlorine, which your pool/spa requires to remain sanitized and algae free. The chlorine reverts back
to salt after treating the water. Since the salt is constantly recycled, there is minimal loss during a swimming
season. However, salt can be lost due to filter backwashing, rain water overflow, leaks, or bather splashing/
carry out... but not through evaporation.
The Cubby Digital is designed to handle the purification needs of residential
swimmingpoolsand spas. The amountof chlorine required for propersanitization
will vary based on the pool size and various factors such as water tempera-
ture, bather load, exposure to direct sunlight, and special water features.
Thewatercirculation pump must be operatingfor your Cubby to producechlorine,
so run time is one of several key components to maintaining the proper sanitizer
levels. Most installations require a minimum of eight (8) hours-per-day
pump run time to properly filter and sanitize the water.

Upon initial start-up, check sanitizer level every few days and make
small output level adjustments as necessary to maintain 1-3 ppm

orregulate the sanitizer levels in yourpool.Rather,theowner/operator

level, and adjust the output setting as needed.
After the purifier output level is “tuned in,” the unit will automatically
make fine output adjustments as the water temperature fluctuates. This temperature compensation feature

compensation feature.
Please Note: The optimum output setting will vary based upon pool size, location, exposure to sunlight,
number of users, vegetation around the pool, water balance practices, and pump run time. Your installer
shouldhavealready taken these factors into considerationwhenperforming installation programming. Therefore,
your adjustments, at this point, should be relatively minor.
