PREFACE
Resilience D (model PSC5) is an automatic natural chlorine generator for pool sanitation. The system uses a very low
concentration of salt (less than the concentration in a human teardrop) and converts it into free chlorine that
destroys algae and bacteria in the pool. After removing the algae and bacteria, the chlorine reverts back into salt. This
process of purification continues, making the need of adding extra sanitizing chemicals to the pool virtually
unnecessary.
Congratulations on the purchase of your Resilience D Chlorine Generator. Your purchase will minimize the efforts
needed to maintain your pool and maximize your enjoyment. Before installation or operation, please take the time to
read this entire manual, compare package contents with the parts list, and gather tools required. Improper
installation may void the warranty and create unnecessary hazards. This manual contains step-by-step instructions to
help ensure that your installation meets the recommended standards. Spending the time to understand your system
and its functions will assure successful, trouble-free operation. If you are unsure about any of the information in this
manual, please contact your installer/dealer. When working around your pool, please take care to avoid hazards such
as electrical wires and chemicals. CAUTION! Safety comes first!
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.
Improper use or installation can badly harm the unit and its surroundings. When installing and using electrical
equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
DO NOT OPEN THE DISPLAY COVER OF THE CONTROL BOX –NOT A SERVICABLE UNIT.
● Disconnect all AC power before installation.
● WARNING –to reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
● The Control Box must be mounted vertically on a flat surface and at a minimum horizontal distance of 1.5
m (5ft) (or more, if local codes require so) from the pool.
● WARNING –risk of electric shock! Connect only to a grounding type circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) outlet. The installer should provide this GFCI requirement. The GFCI should be
rated for minimum 6 Amps and tested on a regular basis by pushing the test button. If the GFCI fails to
operate correctly, there is ground current flowing indicating the possibility of electric shock. Do not use this
unit. Disconnect unit and have a qualified professional fix the problem before using.
● The Input circuit (LN1 & N/LN1) must be connected only after OVERCURRENT DEVICES, such as fuse or
circuit breaker to limit the amperage in the input wire to the maximum that is permitted by the National
Electrical Code.
● The Unit must be permanently connected, with copper wire, not less than 1.5 mm²(14 Awg).
● Do not bury the cord. Place the cord so to minimize damage by lawn mowers, hedge trimmer and other
equipment.
● WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace a damaged cord immediately.
● WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to
electric power supply; provide a properly located outlet.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This installation manual is designed for the pool professional. It assumes the installer has a working knowledge of
basic pool-service operations. It is based on actual field installations and the natural flow of progress found to be
most efficient.
The Natural Chlorine Generator consists of 4 main units: Control box, Cell, Flow Sensor and dosing acid pump (if
purchased with the unit). These assemblies are manufactured using to most advanced corrosion resistant materials
that are extremely durable. Installing them in an area that is sheltered from the sun and water will protect them from
extreme weather conditions.
SAFETY MEASURES
1. Operate the system ONLY with the original flow sensor supplied with the system.
2. See important safety instructions on page 2 of this manual.

PLUMBING CONFIGURATIONS
CELL PLUMBING (WITHOUT DOSING ACID PUMP)
1. The cell and flow sensor must be installed downstream from the filter and heating devices before any Tees in
the return line. The cell may be installed horizontally or vertically as long as is pointing in the flow direction
(i.e. into the blue and out of the clear side).
2. Approximately 380 mm (15 inches) of pipe length is required for a horizontal installation for the flow sensor
and cell. Vertical installations may require less pipe length.
3. On the pipe where the cell is installed, mark two lines 300 mm (11 3/4 inches) apart and cut out using a
hacksaw or pipe cutter.
4. Unscrew and remove the barrel unions (i.e. barrel nuts and slip connections) from either end of the Cell.
Thread one of the barrel nuts over the pipe and glue its slip connection to the cut pipe.
5. Hold up the cell with the second unions to gauge the proper distance before threading the second nut and
gluing the second clip.
6. After letting sufficient drying time for the glue, place the cell with the O-rings into the opening between the
two ends of the pipe and tighten the unions making sure that the cell is installed with the arrow pointing in
the direction of the flow (i.e. water should enter from the side with the blue cap).

INSTALLING THE FLOW SENSOR
1. The flow sensor must be installed before the cell. Make sure that there is no valve between the cell and the
flow sensor. The flow sensor may be installed vertically, in an angle, but MUST NOT be installed upside down.
This could cause debris to settle in the flow sensor body and restrict the paddle movement.
2. Clean and glue the Tee connector (included) to the pipe, making sure that the threaded end with the sensor is
on the pipes topside (as illustrated here ->).
3. Make sure that the arrow at the top of the flow sensor points in direction of the flow and that no glue or
pipe cleaner touches the paddle inside the sensor as it may cause it to jam. Double check that the flow
sensor operates properly by reducing the flow for five seconds and checking if the low flow indicator on the
control box lights.
CELL PLUMBING (WITH A DOSING ACID PUMP)
The dosing acid pump is a unique acid injection pump that automatically cleans the cell and reduces the pH water
levels. Only the PSC-5 control box can operate this unit.
INSTALLING THE DOSING ACID PUMP
The dosing acid pump should be installed right after the chlorinator cell, in a way that ensures the cell stays full of
water when the circulation pump turns off. Choose one of the plumbing configuration options below:
A. U shape installation
B. Horizontal installation
U SHAPE PLUMBING CONFIGURAITON
1. Dosing acid pump and saddle
2. Chlorinator cell
3. Flow switch Tee

Installation of dosing acid pump
Resilience D Installation guide. © 2016, all rights reserved P a g e | 10
4. ~54 cm (21 inch) straight 2" PVC pipe for keeping the cell filled with water when there is no flow in the line.
HORIZONTAL PLUMBING CONFIGURATION
1. Dosing acid pump
2. Chlorinator Cell
3. Flow Switch Tee
The examples illustrated above are with the dosing acid pump installed. A plumbing trap is required to keep
the cell flooded with water when the dosing acid pump washes the cell during the circulation pump downtime.
Create the trap so the acid injected by the dosing acid pump will be focused on the cell and not flow back to the
pool or equipment set. If installing without the dosing acid pump, we recommend following the same examples
as above and leaving room for adding the dosing acid pump in the future.
INSTALLATION OF DOSING ACID PUMP
Disconnect ALL power before work commences.
Open the control boxes' lid to make sure the unit is turned OFF.
 It is recommended to wear rubber or polyethylene protective gloves and safety glasses. It is also advisable
to protect your clothes or wear dispensable ones.
Make sure the pool's machine room is properly vented to avoid damage from acid vapors.
Under no circumstances should the machine room be used to store equipment, furniture, sports gear or any
other equipment that is not related to the pool, including spare acid containers. The machine room must be
aired and vented prior to entering it.
Acid container must be stored inside a spill containment vessel (a basin to hold acid in case of overflow or
tipping of the acid container).
1. Determine the location where you wish to install the acid pump on the wall.
2. Check that the all components: electrical wiring, tubes etc. reach their position.
3. Drill and attach the acid pump's clip to the wall and hang the pump on it.
