Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
WARNING
EQUIPMENT UNDER PRESSURE: Always turn pump off prior to installing or servicing the power pack, pod,
or cell. Your pump/filter system is operated under pressure and the pressure must be released before you begin
work. Please see your pump/filter owner’s manual for further instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified pool service professional.
WARNING
Jandy®AquaPure®EiTM chlorine generating devices are designed for domestic (residential) swimming pool use only.
Contrary use could affect performance, void warranty, and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
• Operating a chlorine generator without water flowing through the cell may cause a build up of flammable gases,
resulting in fire or explosion.
• Keep equipment out of reach of children.
• Do not use if supply cord is damaged.
• A damaged supply cord should only be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or electrician.
• When installing and using this electrical equipment, always follow basic safety precautions.
• Before performing installation, disconnect all power.
• Connect to a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
WARNING
Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code (“NEC” or NFPA-70) in the US, and/or any
other local and national installation codes.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect only to a branch circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit
is protected by a GFCI. Make sure such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine
basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Do not
use the device. Disconnect the device and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
It is required that the water flow pod is installed in the same piping as the electrolytic cell, without any valves or divert-
ers between them (see Section 3.2, Figure 3).
The flow pod must be mounted as in Section 3.2, Figure 3.

Page 6
WARNING
Should a lack of water be detected, the unit’s electronic flow switch is designed to turn off the system. Interfering
with the electronic flow switch could result in personal injury and/or damage to the cell.
WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
• The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and
104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young
children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
• Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
• Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system
problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication
may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms
of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the
body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending danger
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa
• Physical inability to exit spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning
WARNING
PREVENT CHILD DROWNING: Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean or climb on any
equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system. Locate the components of your operational system
at least 3 ft. (1 m) from the pool so children cannot use the equipment to access the pool and be injured or drown.
WARNING
• The power pack must be be installed at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) vertically off the ground.
• The power pack must be be installed at least 10 ft. (3 m) from the inside wall of your swimming pool or spa.
WARNING
Operating the Jandy®AquaPure® EiTM chlorine generating device without water flow through the electrolytic cell can cause a
buildup of flammable gasses which can result in FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Page 7
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot
tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the equipment assembly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible
with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the Jandy®
AquaPure® EiTM chlorine generating device will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping
and other materials in and around your pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used in and around your
pool and/or spa, please discuss all options with your contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials and
chemicals.
When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.
Some helpful considerations may include:
• Choosing plants that can withstand splash out of pool water containing chlorine and/or salt and other water
purification chemicals.
• All metal components used in and around a pool should be of a high grade, quality stainless steel.
• Careful selection of masonry products. The porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Therefore we
recommend you consult with your builder or stone contractor on the best choice for stone materials around your
pool or spa.
• Sealing all masonry products. Professionals in the stone industry specify that even natural stone, especially when
used outdoors, be sealed to prevent weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone or
deck contractor for the proper sealer for the masonry products you have selected to use around your pool or spa.
• For the optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a
schedule per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions.
WARNING
• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
• To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
• Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and
possible drowning.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
• Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.
• Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
• Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
• Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
• Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5 ft. (1.52 m) of
a spa or hot tub.
• The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
• Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.
CAUTION
This device is intended for use with permanent swimming pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if
so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily dissembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of
being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

3.6.3 Testing the Connection
Once the power pack has been wired to the AquaLink®RS Control System or PDA, follow these steps to test the
connection:
1. Apply power to the power pack and the AquaLink RS Control System or PDA.
2. Wait about 20 seconds. If the connection was successful, a Ŧsymbol will appear in the top right corner of the
power pack display.
NOTE If the power pack does not connect to the controller, turn the power off to both devices and repeat steps 1
and 2. If the power pack still does not connect to the controller, re-check the wiring connections (see Section
3.6.2) and the controller setting on the power pack (see Section 3.6.1).

Section 4. Pool Water Preparation
4.1 Determining Pool Size (Gallons of Water in Your Pool)
• Rectangular Pools
Average length (feet) x average width (feet) x average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity.
• Circular Pools
Diameter (feet) x diameter (feet) x average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity.
• Oval Pools
Long diameter (feet) x short diameter (feet) x average depth (feet) x 5.9 = gallon capacity.
• Sloping Sides
Multiply total gallons by 0.85 = gallon capacity.
4.2 Determining Pool Size (Litres of Water in Your Pool)
•Rectangular Pools
Average length (metres) x average width (metres) x average depth (metres) x 1000 = litres capacity.
• Circular Pools
Diameter (metres) x diameter (metres) x average depth (metres) x 790 = litres capacity.
• Oval Pools
Long diameter (metres) x short diameter (metres) x average depth (metres) x 790 = litres capacity.
• Sloping Sides
Multiply total litres by 0.85 = litres capacity.
4.3 Chemistry You Need to Know
• Chlorine Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is needed to maintain proper levels of chlorine. Most non-stabilized chlorine
is destroyed by the UV radiation from the sun within two (2) hours. Chlorine stabilizer should be maintained
between 10 - 50 PPM.
For indoor pools, it is not necessary to add chlorine stabilizer to the swimming pool water.
• Nitrates can cause extremely high chlorine demands and will deplete chlorine from your swimming pool. In
some cases nitrates may even lower your chlorine levels to zero. Your local pool professional can test for nitrates.
Make sure nitrates are not present in your pool.
• Metals (some metals) can cause loss of chlorine 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. This is accomplished by raising the chlorine level quickly and dramatically. To super chlorinate the
pool using the Jandy®AquaPure®EiTM chlorine generating device, set the chlorine production to 100% and then
set the pump and the cell to run for 24 hours.
• Shocking (Superoxidation) is also a means of burning out the organic material that has combined with chlorine.
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.
NOTE On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock from an alternate source, i.e., use a shock treatment
available at your local pool supplier.
CAUTION
Never use dry acid to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive evaporation and minimal dilution of pool
water with fresh water. A buildup of by-products can damage the electrolytic cell.

• The pH 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
system tends to stabilize at approximately 7.6. If the pool pH rises above 7.6 have a pool professional test to see 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
been added for the sanitizing system. The individual performing the TDS test will then subtract the salinity level
to arrive at the correct TDS level.
• New pool water in a recently filled or newly refinished pool may contain undesirable matter which could interfere
with the salt water chlorinator’s ability to sanitize properly. Make sure the water is tested by a pool professional
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.
4.4 Optimum Pool Water Conditions
In accordance with Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) standards, we recommend the following water
balance conditions be maintained on an on-going basis to protect the pool finish and the equipment and to ensure the
pleasing appearance of the water. The Jandy®AquaPure®EiTM is warranted to operate properly only if the following
conditions are met:
Free Chlorine 1 - 3 ppm. Continuous exposure to levels above 3.0 ppm may cause
corrosion of pool metals.
Combined Chlorine (Chloramines) None (Super chlorinate to remove all chloramines.)
pH 7.4 - 7.6 (Use muriatic acid to lower pH and soda ash to raise pH.)
Chlorine Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 10 - 50 ppm (for outdoor pools only)
Total Alkalinity 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 175 - 400 ppm
Metals (Iron, Manganese) None
Nitrates None
Phosphates None
4.5 Chlorine Testing
Use a home test kit or ask your pool professional to test your water. It is recommended that chlorine test samples be
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. 18 in. (46 cm) below the surface and well away from the pool return line.
4.6 Salt (NaCl Sodium Chloride)
4.6.1 When to Add Salt
Add salt to the pool if the salt is too low (see Table 1). 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. Follow the pool surface manufacturer’s
guidelines for your particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up.

CAUTION
It is important to note that certain materials used in and around swimming pools and spas may not be compatible
with chemicals commonly used to purify pool and spa water (e.g. acids, chlorine, salt, stabilizers, etc.).
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the Jandy®
AquaPure®Ei
TM
chlorine generating device will not damage or destroy certain types of plants, decking, coping
and other materials in and around your pool and/or spa. Before selecting materials to be used in and around your
pool and/or spa, please discuss all options with your contractor to assess the compatibility of such materials and
chemicals.
Some helpful considerations may include:
• Choosing plants that can withstand splash out of pool water containing chlorine and/or salt and other water
purification chemicals.
• All metal components used in and around a pool should be of a high grade, quality stainless steel.
• Careful selection of masonry products. The porosity and hardness of natural stones varies greatly. Therefore we
recommend you consult with your builder or stone contractor on the best choice for stone materials around your
pool or spa.
• Sealing all masonry products. Professionals in the stone industry specify that even natural stone, especially when
used outdoors, be sealed to prevent weathering, staining, and premature degradation. Consult with your stone or
deck contractor for the proper sealer for the masonry products you have selected to use around your pool or spa.
• For optimal results, sealers should be reapplied on a regular basis. Reapply the protective sealer on a schedule
per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions.
4.6.2 What Type of Salt to Use
• The purer the salt, the better the life and performance of the electrolytic cell. Use a salt that is at least 99.8% pure
NaCl. The salt is an evaporated, granulated, food quality, non-iodized salt. Consult your salt supplier.
• Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents (sodium ferrocyanide, also known as YPS or yellow prussiate of soda) that
could cause some discoloration of fittings and surface finishes in pool.
• Water conditioning salt pellets are compressed forms of evaporated salt and may be used but will take longer to
dissolve.
• Do not use calcium chloride as a source of salt. Use sodium chloride only.
• Do not use rock salt becasue insoluble impurities mixed with the rock salt can shorten the life of the unit.
4.6.3 How Much Salt to Use
Use salinity test strips, a TDS/salinity meter, or another reliable method to test the salinity of the pool water. Once the
existing salinity has been established, use Table 1 to determine the amount of salt to add to reach the desired level. Be
conservative when adding salt as it is easier to add more if needed than it is to dilute if there is too much salt.
• 4,000 ppm of salt is recommended for optimum water conditions.
NOTE In cooler water conditions (less than 65°F), it may be necessary to add more than 4,500 ppm of salt to keep
the “Check Salt” alarm from appearing on the power pack.
• Low salt concentration below 3,000 ppm will cause premature cell failure.
• High salt concentration above 6,000 ppm may cause corrosion damage to pool fixtures.

4.6.4 How to Add Salt to the Pool
1. Turn on pump to circulate pool water.
2. IMPORTANT - Turn the power pack off by pressing the ON/Off button (OFF will be displayed on the screen).
3. Test the water for salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or by your local pool professional.
4. Use the Table 1 to determine the amount of salt to add. Be conservative when adding salt as it is easier to add
more if needed than it is to dilute if there is too much salt.
5. Broadcast salt into pool. Do not add through skimmer, main drain, or surge tank. Brush the salt around the pool to
facilitate dissolving. Circulate filter system for 24 hours to ensure even distribution.
6. After 24 hours, verify correct salt reading by testing the water salinity level using test strips, electronic meter, or
by your local pool professional.
7. When the salinity level is correct, turn the power pack on. Press the OUTPUT button to set the desired production
rate.
NOTE 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. Follow the pool surface manufacturers guidelines for your
particular pool. For vinyl and fiberglass pools, salt can be added at start up.
