Flow Rate measured in
Liters per minute (L)
The flow rate can be controlled by tightening or loosening the inflow water valve. A
higher flow rate will decrease the concentration of free available chlorine (FAC) and a
lower flow rate will increase the concentration of FAC.
Displaying the flow rate:
1. Press and hold “Set” button for 3 seconds and release. LED display will begin to blink.
2. Press “Mode” button until liters per minute (L) setting is displayed.
Voltage (v)
The voltage is a performance measurement and is not adjustable.
Displaying the voltage:
1. Press and hold “Set” button for 3 seconds and release. LED display will begin to blink.
2. Press “Mode” button until voltage (v) setting is displayed.
Ampere (A)
Max. ampere: 22
Min. ampere: 13
The ampere is an adjustable setting. The range is from 13 to 22 ampere. Higher settings
will increase the concentration of free available chlorine (FAC).
Adjusting the ampere:
1. Press and hold “Set” button for 3 seconds and release. LED display will begin to blink.
2. Press “Mode” button until ampere (A) setting is displayed.
3. Press “Set” button to increase the ampere. Press “Reset” button to decrease the
ampere.
4. Press and hold “Mode” button for 3 seconds and release to complete.
Pump Speed (PS)
Max. speed: 0
Min. speed: 19
The pump speed is an adjustable setting. The range is from 0 to 19. Lower settings will
increase the pump speed and thus increase the additive dosed into the electrolysis cell.
For most purposes, the pump speed should be kept in mid-range.
Adjusting the pump speed:
1. Press and hold “Set” button for 3 seconds and release. LED display will begin to blink.
2. Press “Mode” button until pump speed (PS) setting is displayed.
3. Press “Set” button to increase the pump speed. Press “Reset” button to decrease
the pump speed.
4. Press and hold “Mode” button for 3 seconds and release to complete.

Safety Precautions Brine / Additive Formulas
Ventilation Risks
Electrolyzed water contains small quantities of hydrogen gas (H2), chlorine dioxide gas
(ClO2), and ozone gas (O3) that is released from solution into the air. These gases, if
accumulated, can be explosive. Electrolyzed water contains free chlorine molecules.
Free chlorine molecules have the potential to form chlorine gas (Cl2) when the pH of
the solution becomes acidic. Chlorine gas, if inhaled, can cause respiratory irritation
or injury and is a health risk. Equipment must be installed in a ventilated area to avoid
the accumulation of gases. Do not install equipment near heat sources over 400°C
(750°F)
Electric Shock and Fire Risks
Only use certified outlets. Do not place the equipment in water or allow the equipment
to be exposed to external sources of water. Do not operate equipment if electric cord
is damaged. Do not operate equipment in environments of relative humidity greater
than 95%. In the event of an electric shock or fire, equipment must be removed from
the power source immediately.

Maintenance
Over time and depending on use, mineral scale can build-up on the electrolysis cells. Mineral scale build-up depends on
the quality of the inflow water. If the hardness of the inflow water is less than 80 ppm, scale will build up very slowly and
the system may not require maintenance for many years. Using the incorrect salt can cause mineral scale to build up very
quickly. If mineral scale does build up, the electrical current required to generate a free chlorine solution of hypochlorous
acid will be disrupted.
When to do Maintenance:
When the actual ampere of the system drops to a level below 90% of the set ampere, the systems electrolysis cells should
be descaled of mineral deposits.
How to do Maintenance:
Simply run the system using additive formula #3 with hydrochloric acid (HCl). The HCl will descale the mineral deposits
from the electrolysis cells. Run the system until the actual ampere returns to the set ampere. This could take 30 minutes or
several hours depending on the amount of scale.
