Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your saltwater system. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Connect to Filter Pump: Connect the saltwater system to your existing pool filter pump. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
2. Add Pool Salt: Add the appropriate amount of pool-grade salt to your above ground pool water. The system will automatically generate chlorine from this salt.
3. Pump Flow Rate: Verify that your filter pump has a flow rate between 300-1,000 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) for compatibility.
4. Power Connection: Connect the system to a suitable power outlet.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Intex Saltwater Chlorine System:

• Self-Clean Mode: Utilize the "Self-Clean" function on the control panel to automatically clean the electrolytic cell. This helps prevent mineral buildup and maintains optimal performance.
• Salt Level Monitoring: Periodically check the salt level using test strips or the system's indicators. Add or dilute water as necessary to maintain the recommended salt concentration.
• Electrolytic Cell Cleaning: While the self-clean function is effective, occasional manual inspection and cleaning of the electrolytic cell may be required, especially if the "Service" indicator illuminates or if you observe reduced chlorine output. Refer to the detailed owner's manual for specific cleaning procedures.
• Filter Pump Maintenance: Ensure your connected filter pump is regularly cleaned and maintained according to its own instruction manual to guarantee adequate water flow to the saltwater system.
