Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Safety Instructions
This device can only be used in swimming pools and swimming pools with a built-in spa. It cannot be
used in stand-alone spas. All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to
all national, state (provincial), 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 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 TruClearXL 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.
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.
Do not use this device with bromide products.
WARNING
Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (“NEC®”or NFPA-70®) in the
US, the Canadian Electrical Code (“CEC” or C22.1) in Canada, 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 device 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.
A green/yellow grounding wire is provided inside the power pack. To reduce risk of electric shock, connect the
ground wire to the grounding wire that is supplying power to theunit.

WARNING
The power pack must be interlocked/interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to ensure
that the chlorinator only operates when the pool pump is operating. The flow sensor feature of the Jandy
TruClearXL is intended to be used as a backup only and should not be used as the sole source of flow
detection.

WARNING
The power pack must be installed at least 2 feet (0.6 m) vertically off the ground.
In the US, the power pack must be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from the inside wall of your swimming
pool or spa; in Canada, the power pack must be installed at least 3 m (10 ft.) from the inside wall of your
swimming pool or spa.
The Jandy TruClearXL chlorine generating electrolytic cell must be installed outdoors only. The cell must
be installed horizontally with the cord facing upwards to avoid buildup of flammable gases which can
result in FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
The cell must be installed as the last piece of equipment in the circulation plumbing system just before the
pool.
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
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.
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 1 m (3 ft.) from the pool so children cannot use the equipment to access the
pool and be injured or drown.
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 37 °C
(98.6 °F). 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
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and
40°C (104°F) 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 38°C
(100°F).
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
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 38°C (100°F) 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 1.5 m (5 ft.) 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.
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 or stand-alone spas. A permanently-installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and
reassembled to its original integrity.
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, LLC does not warrant or guarantee that the chlorinated water generated by the
Jandy TruClearXL 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 or other chemicals with water, ALWAYS ADD THE ACID OR CHEMICALS TO
WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO THE ACID OR 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 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
To minimize risk of severe injury or death, filter, pump, and/or chlorinator should not be subjected to the
piping system pressurization test.
Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements
are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment, such as filters, pumps, or chlorinators.
Jandy pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
If, however, the WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the
filter, pump, and/or chlorinator, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove cell and install Pressurizing, Installation and Winterizing Cap (P/N: R0621900) before
testing.
Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings, and system accessories to ensure they are properly
installed and secured before testing.
RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing. AIR PRESSURE must NOT be used for pressure
testing.
Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.
Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 38°C (100°F)
Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.
Notice: These parameters apply to Jandy equipment only. For non-Jandy equipment, consult the
equipment manufacturer.
