IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Installation and User’s Guide
General Recommendations
• After new pool construction has been completed, before installing the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine
Generator, install the IntelliChlor “dummy cell” (P/N 520588) to remove debris from the pipes for
thirty (30) days and to allow sufficient time for the pool plaster (or other similar material) to properly
cure and seal.
• Read and keep this Installation and User’s Guide in a safe place.
• Increase Sanitizer Output level as necessary after heavy rain (outdoor pools) and return to normal
afterwards.
• Increase Sanitizer Output level when air and water temperature rise.
• Increase Sanitizer Output level when number of pool users increase.
• Use Cyanuric Acid ONLY as necessary to stabilize chlorine in the pool water in outdoor pools.
NOTE: DO NOT USE CYANURIC ACID IN INDOOR POOLS.
• Once a month take a pool water sample to a pool professional for a complete analysis.
General Cautions
• Do not get fertilizer in your pool. Fertilizers contain nitrates, which cause a high chlorine demand.
• 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 byproducts can damage the IECG.
• Do not add any pool water balancing chemicals (including salt) unless the IECG is switched off.
• Do not let the Cyanuric Acid level drop below 50 ppm in outdoor pools. NOTE: DO NOT USE
CYANURIC ACID IN INDOOR POOLS.
