Warning
High Voltage Electrocution Hazard
Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, cause serious injury
and or death. To reduce the risk of electrocution and or
electric shock hazards:
•Only qualified technicians should remove the panel
•Replace damaged wiring immediately
•Insure panel is properly grounded and bonded

AquaRite: How It Works
•The AquaRite 100 Salt Chlorine Generator is
designed to convert 99% pure salt into chlorine
gas (CL2(g)).
•When CL2(g) is dissolved in water it creates
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) to sanitize the pool.
•The conversion occurs in the electrolytic cell,
also known as the cell (used throughout this
guide).
•Power is sent from the AquaRite 100 control
center to the cell when chlorine production is
scheduled (based on time percentage).
•When power is applied to the cell, conductive
plates produce a field; which in-turn establishes
an electrochemical reaction between chloride
ions & the water to create Hypochlorous Acid.

How To:

How To: Input Voltage Configuration
The AquaRite 100 can be powered by 120 VAC or 240 VAC. Use a multi-
meter to verify voltage in order to determine wire configuration.
120 VAC Wire Colors
Line 1Black & Violet
Line 2N/A
Neutral Red &White
Ground Green
240 VAC Wire Colors
Line 1Black
Line 2Red

* Power must be turned off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Follow ALL local and
NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the AQR100 should be installed by a qualified service
professional and must be properly grounded AND bonded.
