SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

  • The Saltwater System requires a separate fi later pump [300~1000 gph (1136~3785 lph)] to drive the water and function properly.
  • The Saltwater System must be installed as the last piece of pool equipment in the water return line to the pool as displayed below. This location extends the life of the titanium plates.
  • Remove any large debris and particles such as leaves, sand, insects, and bugs from the pool water fi first.
  1. Assemble the above-ground pool (AGP) and its fi later pump according to their installation instructions.
  2. Take the Saltwater System and its accessories out of the packaging.
  3.  Place the Saltwater System in line after the fi later pump.
  4. Connect the connector hose (2) to the Saltwater System inlet with a hose clamp (3).
  5. Go directly to step 6 if your pool is empty. If your above-ground pool is fi filled with water, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the black hat-like plugs into the connectors, before installing the saltwater pool system.
  6.  Disconnect the water return hose from the fi later pump connection and connect it to the Saltwater System outlet.
  7. Connect the connector hose (2) to the fi later pump outlet connection with a hose clamp (3).
    Tighten securely.
  8.  Remove the black hat-like plugs that prevent water from fl owing out of the pool. Now, return the strainer grids to the strainer connectors.

SALT and POOL WATER VOLUMES

  • Which kind of salt to use:
    For use within the European Union, salt must be from an authorized salt supplier registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) – visit echa.europa.eu. *
    Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
    Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt).  However, it will take a longer time for them to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create chlorine. The purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
  • Optimum Salt Levels
    The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million). The optimal level is 3000 ppm.
    A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Saltwater System and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste in the pool water (this may occur at a salt level above 3500-4000ppm). The too-high salt level may damage the power supply and cause corrosion to the pool metal fixtures and accessories. The  Salt Table page of this manual shows the correct dosage of salt needed.
  • Adding Salt
  1. Switch the fi latter pump on to start the water circulation.
  2. Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
  3. Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
  4. Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
  5. Avoid clogging the fi later. Do not add salt through the skimmer.
  6. Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow the salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the fi later pump for 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
  7. After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press code “00” fl ashing, and set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see  “Operating Time Table”).
  • Removing Salt
    If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see “Alarm Codes”). You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so is to partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water. Drain and refill approximately 20% of the pool’s water until the “Code 92” disappears.
  • Pool Volume Calculation

* The European Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) requires that salt (sodium chloride) used as a precursor for on-site generation of active chlorine by electrolysis must be registered by the salt supplier with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and such supplier must be included on ECHA’s list of authorized suppliers (Article 95 list).

INTEX POOLS CYANURIC ACID TABLE

Cyanuric acid is a chemical that reduces the loss of chlorine in water due to ultraviolet rays. To maintain the pool water clear and clean, and to maximize the performance of the device, add cyanuric acid to the pool. We recommend that the cyanuric acid level be maintained at approximately 0.35% of the salt, i.e. 100 Lbs (45 Kgs) salt x 0.35% =0.35 Lbs (0.16 Kgs) cyanuric acid.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Turn on the filter pump.
  2. Startup the unit:
    Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and test the household socket GFCI (circuit breaker). Press button. Flashing code “00” appears on the electronic control station’s LED, indicating that the unit is ready to be programmed.
  3. Set operating hours for the Saltwater system:
    With code “00” flashing, press button to set the desired operating hours. See the “Operating Time Table” for the required operating hours related to each pool size.  Pressing will increase the time from 01 to 12 hours maximum. If you have selected too many hours keep pressing to repeat the cycle. The built-in timer will now activate your Saltwater System, at the same time each day, for the number of hours you have set.
    NOTE: The Saltwater System will not operate if the filter pump is not operating. Make sure to program your filter pump (or start it manually) for operation beginning 5  minutes before the saltwater system and finishing 15 minutes after the saltwater system.
  4. Lock keypad controls:
    With the desired hour value showing, press the button. A green “WORKING” indicator on the control panel will light up within a few seconds to indicate that the saltwater system has started sodium hypochlorite production, the LED will display the remaining chlorinator hours until it’s finished. Locking the control buttons into this setting prevents unauthorized changing of the operating cycle.
    NOTE: If you forget to lock the keypad controls, the system will automatically lock it and start working 10 seconds later.
  5. Readjust operating time if necessary:
    The operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Press the button and the current programmed time will flash. Repeat steps 3 to 4.
  6. Stand-by/power saving mode:
    • When the cycle ends, the green “SLEEP” indicator on the control panel lights up and the LED display flashes “93”. The system is now in Stand-By mode. After a while,  it shuts down and sets itself in a Power Saving mode. The system will automatically turn itself back on in 24 hours, starting its daily cycle of sodium hypochlorite production.
    • The “SLEEP” indicator stays on, while the system is in the Power Saving mode. The LED display, however, goes blank after 5 minutes. Press any button ( or ) to view the last LED code.

When Code “90” alarm is shown, ensure the timer of the filter pump is set one (1) hour longer than the Saltwater System.
If the filter pump does not have a built-in timer, the filter pump needs to be turned on/off manually every day.

SALTWATER SYSTEM STATIONARY MOUNTING

Some countries, especially in the European community, require the product to be secured to the ground or to a base in a permanently upright position. Check with your local authorities to determine if there is a regulation in your area regarding above-the-ground swimming pool fi later pumps. If yes, then the product can be mounted to a platform using the two holes located in the base. See the drawing below.
The product can be mounted on a cement base or onto a wooden platform to prevent accidental tipping. The total assembly must exceed 18kg.

  1. The mounting holes are 6.4 mm in diameter and spaced 52 mm apart.
  2. Use two bolts and locknuts with a maximum of 6.4 mm in diameter.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your system. Also, insert the black hat-like plugs in the strainer opening to prevent water spillage. After completing all maintenance tasks, you must plug the power cord back in and remove the plugs.

Titanium Electrode Cleaning
The titanium electrode has a self-cleaning function incorporated into the electronic control’s programming. In most cases, this self-cleaning action will keep the electrode working at optimum effi science. If the pool water is hard (high mineral content) the electrode may require periodic manual cleaning. To maintain maximum performance, we recommend that you open and visually inspect the titanium electrode (7) monthly. The following steps provide instructions on how to clean your cell.

Inspection and cleaning:

  1. Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
  2.  To prevent water from fl owing out of the pool, unscrew the strainer grids from the strainer connectors and insert the hat-like plugs into the strainer connectors.
  3. Disconnect the 2 hoses from the Saltwater System (see drawings 1~3).
  4.  Unscrew the titanium electrode plug collar, and disconnect the plug from the titanium electrode (7) (see drawing 4).
  5. Unscrew the cell nut, and remove the titanium electrode from the cell housing (see drawing 5).
  6. Place the titanium electrode in a container and pour kitchen-grade vinegar into the container until the titanium electrode is immersed. Soak for 1 hour and then fluse with a
    high-pressure garden hose (see drawing 6).
  7. Reverse steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 to reconnect the electrolytic cell.

INTEX® TEST STRIPS (PACKED WITH THE PRODUCT)

The Test Strips can test the “Free Chlorine”, “pH”, “Calcium Hardness” and “Total Alkalinity” levels at the same time. We recommend that you test the water chemistry weekly,  and maintain the chlorine concentration at 1.0-3.0 ppm.

Directions and Use

  1. Dip the entire strip into the water and remove immediately.
  2. Hold the strip level for 15 seconds. Do not shake excess water from the strip.
  3. Now compare the strip pad to the color chart on the packaging label. If necessary, adjust the chemical level in the pool water. It is very important, to use the proper technique when testing the water’s chemical level. Read and follow the written strip instructions carefully.

LONG TERM STORAGE

  1. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
  2. After the pool is completely empty, disconnect the Saltwater System from the hoses by reversing the installation instructions.
  3. Air-dry the unit before you store it. This might be a good time to visually inspect and clean the electrolytic cell.
  4.  Store the unit and accessories in a dry place. The temperature should be controlled, between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius).
  5. The original package can be used for storage.

POOL MAINTENANCE and CHEMICAL DEFINITIONS

Preferred Water Chemistry Reading
Minimum Ideal Maximum
Free Chlorine 0 1.0 – 3.0 ppm 5.0 ppm
Combined Chlorine 0 0 ppm 0.2 ppm
pH 7.2 7.4 – 7.6 7.8
Total Alkalinity 40 ppm 80 ppm 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 50 ppm 100 – 250 ppm 350 ppm
Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 10 ppm 10 – 30 ppm 30 ppm
Free Chlorine Is the chlorine residual present in pool water.
Combined Chlorine Is formed by the reaction of free chlorine with ammonia wastes. The result if too high – Sharp chlorinous odor, eye irritation.
pH A value that indicates how acidic or basic a solution is.
Result if too low – Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation, destruction of total alkalinity.
Result if too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter filter runs, eye & skin irritation, poor chlorine efficiency.
Total Alkalinity indicates the degree of the water’s resistance to change in pH.
It determines the speed and ease of pH change, so always adjust total alkalinity before adjusting the pH level.
The result if too low – Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation. Low alkalinity will cause the pH to be unstable. Any chemical added to the water will have an effect on pH. The result is too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, eye & skin irritation, poor chlorine efficiency.
Calcium Hardness – This refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in the water.

Result if too high – Eye & skin irritation, difficulty balancing water, and poor chlorine efficiency. The scale will form and will cause the water to become cloudy.

Stabilizer Stabilizers extend the life of chlorine in swimming pools. (Cyanuric Acid)
  • Do not add pool chemicals directly to the skimmer. This may damage the cell.
  • Maintaining a salt and sanitizer level above the recommended range can contribute to the corrosion of the pool equipment.
  • Check the expiry date of the test kit as the test results may be inaccurate if the kit is used after that date.
  • If, due to heavy pool usage, it is required to increase the sanitizer level, then use a chemical based on trichlor, TCCA, or dichloro.
