The Pool Pilot Digital Nano is a salt chlorination system designed for pool or spa water purification.
Although the Nano is easy to use, it is important to read through the entire manual before attempting to
operate the system.
How Your Chlorine Generator Works
The system requires a low concentration of dissolved salt (sodium chloride) in the water. The salt
concentration level is normally maintained below the taste threshold. The Pool Pilot Digital Nano
automatically converts the salt into chlorine, which your pool/spa requires to remain sanitized and algae
free. The chlorine reverts back to salt after treating the water. Since the salt is constantly recycled, there
is minimal loss during a swimming season. However, salt can be lost due to filter backwashing, rain water
overflow, leaks, or bather splashing/carry out... but not through evaporation.
The Pool Pilot Digital Nano is designed to handle the purification needs of resi-
dential swimming pools and spas. The amount of chlorine required for proper
sanitization will vary based on the pool size and various factors such as water
temperature, bather load, exposure to direct sunlight, and special water features.
The water circulation pump must be operating for your Pool Pilot Digital Nano to
produce chlorine, so run time is one of several key components to maintaining
the proper sanitizer levels. Most installations require a minimum of eight (8)
hours-per-day pump run time to properly filter and sanitize the water.
Control Overview
Following is a brief explanation of owner / operator control options. For full features of the Owner Options
Menu, please see page-26. The MENU button is pressed to obtain access to the Owner Options Menu.
Please Note: This section assumes the installer has already programmed the system for specific site
parameters, has established proper water balance, and has pretreated water to 1 - 3 ppm free available
chlorine for pools and 3-5 ppm free available chlorine for spas.
Attention Owner: should centigrade vs. fahrenheit, choice of language, or other owner options require
modification, please refer to the programming information located on page-26. See: Menu Button and
Owner Options.
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to control the purifier output level, then press
the SELECT button to save the value chosen. With a properly prepared pool, the
recommended starting output level is 50%.
Upon initial start-up, check sanitizer level daily and make small output level
adjustments as necessary to maintain 1-3 ppm free available chlorine levels
for pools and 3-5 ppm free available chlorine for spas. Keep in mind, your Pool
Pilot Digital Nano does not directly measure or regulate the sanitizer levels in
your pool. Rather, the owner / operator will need to periodically test the water to
determine the current chlorine level, and adjust the output setting as needed.
After the purifier output level is “tuned in,” the unit will automatically make fine output adjustments as the
water temperature fluctuates. This temperature compensation feature will adjust output depending on
water temperature. See page-11 for more information concerning the temperature compensation feature.

A Note Concerning Terminology:
Throughout this manual, the portion of the system which mounts to the wall (and powers the cell) may be
referred to as the: Digital Nano, Pool Pilot, power centre, control centre, or unit. In addition, when “pool”
is referred to in the absence of the word “spa,” it should be assumed “spa” is inferred (should a spa be
present in the installation).
