Safety Information

Always adhere to the following safety guidelines to ensure safe operation and prevent injury or damage:

• Read and understand all instructions before installing and using this product.
• Ensure the product is connected to a grounded electrical outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
• Do not operate the system if the power cord or plug is damaged.
• Keep children away from the unit during operation.
• Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
• Use only the recommended pool salt (99.8% pure sodium chloride, non-iodized).
• Maintain proper water chemistry as per pool guidelines.

Setup

The Krystal Clear Saltwater System is designed for straightforward integration with your existing above ground pool filtration system. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Placement: Position the saltwater system on a stable, level surface near your pool and existing filter pump. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions.
2. Connection to Filter Pump: Connect the saltwater system in-line with your existing filter pump. Water flows from the pool, through the filter pump, then through the saltwater system, and back into the pool. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
3. Hose Adapters: If you are connecting the system to a non-Intex pool or a pump with different hose sizes, you may need to acquire appropriate hose adapters to ensure a proper fit and seal.
4. Add Salt: Refer to the system's salt dosage chart (typically found in the included manual) to determine the correct amount of pure, non-iodized pool salt required for your pool's volume. Distribute the salt evenly around the pool and allow it to dissolve completely before operating the system.
5. Power Connection: Plug the system into a grounded GFCI-protected electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

The control panel provides intuitive access to all system functions. Familiarize yourself with the buttons and indicator lights:

• Power Button: Turns the system ON or OFF.
• Timer Button: Allows you to set the desired operating duration for the system, typically between 1 and 12 hours per day, depending on your pool size and chlorine needs.
• Boost Button: Activates a temporary boost in chlorine production for periods of heavy use or when extra sanitization is needed.
• Self-Clean Button: Initiates the self-cleaning cycle for the electrolytic cell. This feature reverses the polarity to clean the cell plates, reducing mineral buildup.
• Lock/Unlock Button: Locks the control panel to prevent accidental changes to settings.

Indicator Lights:

• Working: Indicates the system is actively producing chlorine.
• Pump Low Flow: Alerts to insufficient water flow through the system.
• Low Salt: Indicates that the salt level in the pool water is too low.
• High Salt: Indicates that the salt level in the pool water is too high.
• Service: General error indicator, often requiring consultation of the user manual for specific error codes.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your saltwater system:

• Electrolytic Cell Cleaning: Utilize the built-in self-clean function regularly to prevent calcium buildup on the cell plates. The transparent housing of the salt cell allows for visual inspection to determine if manual cleaning is necessary.
• Water Chemistry: Periodically test your pool water for salt levels, pH, alkalinity, and cyanuric acid (CYA). Adjust as needed to maintain balanced water chemistry, which is crucial for efficient chlorine production and swimmer comfort.
• Filter Maintenance: Ensure your primary pool filter (sand, cartridge, or DE) is clean and functioning correctly, as proper water flow is essential for the saltwater system to operate.
• Winterization: Follow the specific winterization instructions in the full user manual to protect your system from freezing temperatures during the off-season.
