IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be exercised,
including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
•
Disconnect
all
AC
power
during
installation.
•
Do
not
permit
children
to
use
this
product.
• A green colored screw is located inside the wiring compartment, against the back panel.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding
means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
• One bonding lug for US models (two for Canadian models) is provided on the external
surface. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in
the area of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or
bare copper conductor not smaller than 8 AWG US/6 AWG Canada.
• All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar
hardware located within 10 feet (3 meters) of the pool, spa or hot tub shall be bonded to
the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than 8 AWG
US/ 6 AWG Canada.

OPERATION
• The SPS is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool & spa sanitation designed
specifically for above ground pools. The operation requires a low concentration of salt
(sodium chloride) in the pool water at levels low enough that it normally cannot be tasted.
SPS automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine, which kills
bacteria and algae in the pool, through a process called electrolysis.
• SPS is designed to handle the purification needs of the average residential swimming pool
up to 20,000 gallons (75,000 liters). The actual amount of chlorination required to
properly sanitize a pool varies depending upon bather load, rainfall, air temperature,
water temperature, pool’s exposure to sunlight, pool’s surface, and cleanliness.
NOTE:
It
is
not
recommended
to
use
the
SPS
to
generate
Bromine.
If
your
pool
has
natural
stone
as
coping
or
decking,
please
check
with
a
stone
installation
specialist
for
the
maintenance
of
the
stone
before
installing
the
SPS
.
NOTE:
The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is
discouraged,
especially
in
arid
regions
where
pool
water
is
subject
to
excessive
evaporation
and
is
not
commonly
diluted
with
fresh
water.
Dry
acid
can
cause
a
buildup
of
by-products
that
can
damage
your
chlorinator
cell.

IDEAL CHEMICAL LEVELS
Salt 3200 to 4000 ppm
Free Chlorine 1.0 to 3.0 ppm
pH 7.2 to 7.6
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) 50 to 100 ppm
Total Alkalinity 80 to 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 200 to 400 ppm
Metals 0 ppm
Saturation Index -.2 to .2 -.5 to .5
SATURATION INDEX
• The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an
indicator of the pool water “balance”. Your water is properly balanced if the
Si is 0 ±.2.
• If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved
into the water.
•
If
the
Si
is
above
+0.2,
scaling
and
staining
will
occur.
•
Use
the
chart
on
page
5
to
determine
the
saturation
index.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.1
