3.4 Wiring the Power Pack to Power Source
Figure 18. 240 VAC or 120 VAC Wiring Diagram
1. Wire power pack to pool pump power source using #12 AWG (3.0 mm2) insulated wire and conduit. The power
pack should be connected to the pump motor switch or automatic timer (pool pump timer) as shown in Figure 18.
2. Attach the third wire (ground) from the electrical panel to the ground point inside the power pack. Additionally,
applicable local and/or National installation codes may require the equipment to properly bonded to other pool
equipment or to a bonding grid. Earth bonding per Section 3.5 must also be accomplished to ensure personal
safety and safety of equipment.
3.5 Earth Bonding
The National Electric Code (NEC) requires pool equipment to be bonded to each other. Check your local codes to
determine if the NEC and/or other local installation codes are enforced by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
A solid, copper # 8 AWG (8.37 mm2) wire is recommended, per the NEC, for bonding the power pack to a permanent
earthbondingconnectionthatisacceptabletothelocalAHJ.Refertoyourlocallyenforcedcodesfortheacceptable
grounding wire gauge. Attach the bonding point located on the bottom of the chassis backplate to a common earth
bonding point. Do not use the power pack as the common bonding point. Each piece of non-related pool equipment
requiring a ground should also be bonded to the common, approved earth bonding point. Never ground a pool pump
to the chassis backplate. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) dictates that the bonding conductor be,
minimum6AWG(13.3mm
2
).

General Rule of Sizing: Inareaswithyear-rounduseandhighwatertemperatures,suchasFlorida,Texas,Arizona,

professional.
High Water Temperatures: Because chlorine demand increases with the rise of water temperature, adjustments
must be made in order to keep up with chlorine demand. In hot summer months, where the water temperature
rises above 85ºF, you must increase the pump run time and increase the percentage (%).
4.4 Chemistry You Need to Know
• Chlorine Stabilizer(cyanuricacid)isneededtomaintainproperlevelsofchlorine.Mostnon-stabilizedchlorine
isdestroyedbytheUVradiationfromthesunwithintwo(2)hours.Chlorinestabilizershouldbemaintained
between30-50ppm.Forindoorpools,itisnotnecessarytoaddchlorinestabilizertotheswimmingpoolwater.
• Nitratescancauseextremelyhighchlorinedemandsandwilldepletechlorinefromyourswimmingpool.In
somecasesnitratesmayevenloweryourchlorinelevelstozero.Yourlocalpoolprofessionalcantestfornitrates.
Make sure nitrates are not present in your pool.

• Metals (some metals) can cause loss of chlorine and stain your pool. Have your local pool professional check for
metals and recommend methods of removal.
• Chloramines should not be present in pool water. When organic materials combine with free chlorine,
chloramines are formed. This ties up the free chlorine in your pool and does not allow the chlorine in your pool
to disinfect. Chloramines also cloud pool water and burn the eyes. Shock to remove chloramines at the initial
startup of the pool.
• Super Chlorination burns out the organic material that has combined with chlorine which frees the chlorine for
sanitizing.SuperChlorinationisaccomplishedbyraisingthechlorinelevelquicklyanddramatically.Tosuper
chlorinatethepoolusingtheJandy®AquaPure®Eichlorinegeneratingdevice,set the chlorine production to
100%andthensetthepumpandthecelltorunfor24hours.
• Shocking (Superoxidation)isalsoameansofburningouttheorganicmaterialthathascombinedwithchlorine.
This method involves the manual addition of chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine. When the chlorine
level is quickly raised to 5 - 15 ppm the pool water is said to have been shocked.

• ThepH condition resulting from the operation of a salt water chlorination system is close to neutral. However,
other factors usually cause the pH of the pool water to rise. Therefore, the pH in a pool chlorinated by a salt water
systemtendstostabilizeatapproximately7.6.IfthepoolpHrisesabove7.6haveapoolprofessionaltesttosee
if other factors such as high calcium hardness or total alkalinity are the cause and then balance accordingly.
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Adding salt to pool water will raise the TDS level. While this does not adversely
affect the pool water chemistry or clarity, the pool water professional testing for TDS must be made aware salt has
beenaddedforthesanitizingsystem.TheindividualperformingtheTDStestwillthensubtractthesalinitylevel
to arrive at the correct TDS level.
• New pool waterinarecentlylledornewlyrenishedpoolmaycontainundesirablematterwhichcouldinterfere
withthesaltwaterchlorinator’sabilitytosanitizeproperly.Makesurethewateristestedbyapoolprofessional
and properly balanced before turning on the chlorinator system.
• Sequestering Agents can be used to compensate for source water which may have unusually high calcium
hardness. High calcium hardness can contribute to scale formation in the pool. Sequestering agents will help
keep minerals in solution and under some conditions can prevent scaling from happening. Consult your pool
professional about the use of a sequestering agent.
4.5 Optimum Pool Water Conditions
In accordance with Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) standards, we recommend the following water
balanceconditionsbemaintainedonanon-goingbasistoprotectthepoolnishandtheequipmentandtoensure
the pleasing appearance of the water. The Jandy AquaPure Ei is warranted to operate properly only if the following
conditions are met:
Free Chlorine 1.0-3.0ppm.Continuousexposuretolevelsabove3.0ppmmaycause
corrosion of pool metals.
Combined Chlorine (Chloramines) None (Super chlorinate to remove all chloramines).
pH 7.4-7.6(UsemuriaticacidtolowerpHandsodaashtoraisepH).
Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 30 - 50 ppm (For outdoor pools only).
Total Alkalinity 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 175-400ppm
Metals (Iron, Manganese) None
Nitrates None
Phosphates None

4.6 Chlorine Testing

taken from two (2) places, described below. Compare the two (2) samples. A higher level should be found at the pool
return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the salt water chlorinator system is producing chlorine.
1. At the pool return line.
2. 18in.(46cm)belowthesurfaceandwellawayfromthepoolreturnline.
4.7 Salt (NaCl Sodium Chloride)
4.7.1 When to Add Salt
Add salt to the pool if the salt is too low (see Table 1) or if salt indicator light turns on. For a new pool or newly
resurfaced pool it is recommended to wait at least 30 days (surface should be completely cured) before adding salt.
Followthepoolsurfacemanufacturer’sguidelinesforyourparticularpool.Forvinylandberglasspools,saltcanbe
added at start up.
