A maximum of 95,000 Litres (25,000 Gallons) of water can be treated with one
AquaRite Cul Electrolytic Chlorine Generator unit. Operating the AquaRite CUL Electrolytic
Chlorine Generator without water flow through the AquaRite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine
Generator cell can cause a build-up of flammable gases which can result in fire or
explosion .The AquaRite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator protects itself against
this condition via the FLO sensor by cutting off the power to the AquaRite CUL
Electrolytic Chlorine Generator cell whenever flow is not detected. The AquaRite CUL
Electrolytic Chlorine Generator MUST be wired to the same circuit as the filter pump.
This ensures that the AquaRite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator will only generate
chlorine when the filter pump is providing flow. The AquaRite CUL Electrolytic
Chlorine Generator generates a maximum output of hypochlorous acid equivalent to 0.45 kg
of chlorine per day. Do not use this device with bromide products.

Canada.
• All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains, or other similar
hardware within 3 meters of the pool, spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the
equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than 8AWG US / 6
AWG Canada.
• NOTICE TO USER: This pest control product is to be used only in accordance
with the directions on the label. It is an offence under the Pest Control Products
Act to use this product in a way that is inconsistent with the directions on the
label.
• WARNING: Heavy pool or spa usage, and higher temperature may require
higher chlorine output to maintain proper free available chlorine residuals.
• Follow all aspects of the local and National Electric Code(s) when installing the
Aquarite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator.
• If additional chlorine is required due to heavy bather load, use a chlorine
sanitizer to maintain an appropriate free available chlorine residual in the water.
• For proper sanitation, spas must be completely drained periodically. The number
of days between COMPLETE SPA DRAINAGE is equal to the volume of spa
water in litres, divided by 10 times the maximum number of daily spa users. Refill
spa with water and repeat the DIRECTIONS FOR USE of the Aquarite CUL
Electrolytic Chlorine Generator.
• People with a medical condition should consult a physician before entering a
pool or spa.
• Maximum spa water usage temperature is 40oC. Duration in spa water at 40oC
should not exceed 15 minutes.
• Do not use this device with bromide products.

OPERATION
The AquaRite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator is an automatic chlorine generation
system for pool or spa sanitation. A Maximum of 95,000 Litres (25,000 Gallons) of water
can be treated with one Aquarite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator unit. The
operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. These
levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The AquaRite CUL Electrolytic
Chlorine Generator automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free
chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium
chloride after killing bacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually
eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may
need to add more salt to the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing,
draining, or splashing (not evaporation).
The AquaRite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator is designed to produce hypochlorous acid for most
residential pools up to 95,000 Litres (25,000 Gallons). The maximum output of hypochlorous acid is
equivalent to 0.45 Kg of chlorine per day. Check local codes for other restrictions. The actual amount of
chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the
pool's cleanliness.
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the recommended water parameters. The only special requirements for the
AquaRite CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator are the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain
these levels in order to prevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test
your water periodically. Your Authorized Aqua Rite Dealer (AARD) or most pool stores can provide you
with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the pool store that you are
using an Aqua Rite chlorine generator.
• Do not add pool or spa chemicals directly to the skimmer. This may damage the AquaRite CUL
Electrolytic Chlorine Generator Cell.
• Maintaining high salt and chlorine levels above recommended range can contribute to corrosion of
pool or spa equipment.
• Check the expiry date of the test kit as test results may be inaccurate if used after the expiration
date.
• NOTE: For outdoor pools, chlorine residuals can be protected from destruction by sunlight by the
addition of stabilizer (cyanuric acid).
• Regulation may exist regarding the use of cyanuric acid. Please consult with your local authority.
• For swimming pools, a minimum of 1ppm of free available chlorine must be maintained. For spas,
a minimum of 3 ppm of free available chlorine must be maintained.

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 below to determine the saturation index.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai -12.1

Salt Level
Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in Kg (or Pounds) need to be added to reach the
recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool
size is unknown.

The ideal salt level is between 2.7-3.4 g/l (2700-3400 ppm) with 3.2 g/l (3200 ppm) being optimal. If the
level is low, determine the number of liters (gallons) in the pool and add salt according to the chart on page
4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the AquaRite® CUL Electrolytic Chlorine Generator and
result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can cause the AquaRite® CUL Electrolytic Chlorine
Generator to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (generally, the salt will begin to be
tasted at a level of about 3.5-4.0 g/l (3500-4000 ppm)). The 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
It is 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 at building supply stores in 18 – 36 Kg (40-80 lb.)
bags labeled "Coarse Solar Salt". It is 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 decline together.
Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizer must be added to raise the level to 0.08 g/l
(80ppm).
