4. Operating Instructions
For optimal performance and longevity of your ChlorWorks CWH15A Salt Cell, maintaining ideal pool chemistry is crucial. The salt cell operates by converting dissolved salt into chlorine, which then sanitizes your pool water.
4.1 Ideal Pool Chemistry
Regularly test your pool water and adjust levels as needed to match the following parameters:
- pH: 7.2 - 7.7
- Phosphate: 0 ppb
- Salt: 3400 ppm
- Free Chlorine: 1.0 - 3.0 ppm
- Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
- Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm

4.2 Initial Startup
After installation and ensuring proper water chemistry, activate your salt chlorine generator system according to its control panel instructions. The system will begin producing chlorine automatically.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your ChlorWorks CWH15A Salt Cell.
5.1 Cell Cleaning
Periodically inspect the clear cell housing for any scale buildup on the cell plates. If significant scale is present, the cell may need cleaning. Consult your salt chlorine generator's control unit manual for specific cleaning procedures, which typically involve a mild acid solution.
5.2 Water Chemistry Monitoring
Continue to monitor your pool's water chemistry regularly as outlined in Section 4.1. Maintaining balanced water is key to preventing scale buildup and ensuring efficient chlorine production.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ChlorWorks CWH15A Salt Cell, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- Low Chlorine Output: Check salt levels, ensure proper water chemistry (pH, alkalinity), inspect the cell for scale buildup, and verify the system's power supply and settings.
- Error Codes: Refer to your salt chlorine generator's control unit manual for specific error code interpretations and solutions.
- Leaks: Ensure all unions and connections are securely tightened and O-rings are properly seated and free from damage.
For persistent issues, contact customer support.
