Attention Installer

This manual contains vital information regarding the installation, operation, and safe use of this product. It is essential to provide this manual to the end user of the product. Failure to read and follow all instructions could lead to severe injuries.

Safety Warnings

DANGER

• Risk of Electric Shock: Do not bury the electrical cord or place it where it can be damaged. Always use a grounded type receptacle equipped with a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Do not use the unit with a damaged cell housing or if improperly assembled. Ensure the GFCI functions correctly by testing it; if it fails or if it trips without the test button being pressed, discontinue use and seek professional repair. Failure to comply may result in severe injury or death.

WARNING

• Outdoor Use Only: This product is designed exclusively for outdoor use.
• Supervision Required: Never allow children to use this product unsupervised. Children and those with disabilities must be closely monitored to prevent injury.
• Assembly and Disassembly: These tasks should only be performed by adults to prevent accidents.
• Electric Shock Prevention: Always disconnect the product from the electrical outlet before cleaning, servicing, or making adjustments. Do not replace the supply cord as this could lead to electric shock; if damaged, replace the appliance. Avoid using extension cords or adapters and ensure a properly located outlet is used.

CAUTION

• Storable Pools Only: Use this product with storable pools, not permanently-installed pools. The pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet, with portable appliances kept at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Proper Installation and Use: Incorrect installation or use could lead to reduced product efficiency and safety hazards.

NOTE

• These guidelines address common risks and do not cover all potential dangers. Always exercise caution and use good judgment when engaging in water activities. For use with portable above-ground pools only.

Product Overview

Packaging Contents

The packaging includes the main Saltwater System unit (1 PC), Seals (2 PCS), optional Connectors (2 PCS), optional Gaskets (2 PCS), optional O-Rings (2 PCS), Hoses with Adapters (2 PCS), an Instruction Manual (1 PC), and optional Connector Assemblies (4 PCS).

Product Introduction

The Pool Clear Saltwater System features an Electronic Control Panel, an Outlet port, a Chlorine Ion Generator, a Copper Ion Generator, a Water Flow Switch, and an Electrolytic Cell Container, with an Inlet port.

This product is designed for above-ground pools to provide a clean and comfortable swimming environment by effectively treating the water. The system utilizes common salt (sodium chloride), composed of sodium and chloride elements. During the initial setup, a precise amount of salt is dissolved in the pool water, creating a mildly salty solution. As pool water circulates through the Saltwater System's electrolytic cell, chlorine is produced. This chlorine immediately begins working to neutralize bacteria and break down organic matter from swimmers.

E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidation): Electrocatalytic Oxidation, a component of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), is initiated when a direct current is applied to the system's electrodes. This generates hydroxyl radicals, powerful agents that break down organic contaminants. The presence of hydroxyl radicals, along with chlorine, creates an efficient and secure method for purifying pool water.

Specification

Dimensions

The system has a width of 11 inches, a height of 13 inches, and a depth of 10 inches.

Installation

Installation Instructions

• Pool Preparation: Assemble a new pool and filter pump, or shut off the existing setup.
• Positioning: Position the Saltwater System downstream of the pump and filter (see Figure A).
• Connections: Connect the system inlet to the pump outlet using appropriate hoses and adapters, depending on the pump and pool connections (see Figure B).
• Secure Connections: Tighten all connections securely to prevent leaks.
• Testing: Test the system to ensure proper function before regular use.

NOTE

• Install the Saltwater System as the final component in the water return line to the pool to protect the titanium plates.
• Ensure a separate filter pump with a flow rate between 700 to 3000 GPH (2650 to 11,355 LPH) for effective operation.

Operation

Control Panel

Interface Overview

The control panel features a DISPLAY screen, a POWER SWITCH, TIMER SETTINGS (1-12 HOURS), and CONFIGURATION INTERFACE buttons. It includes operational indicators: RED for SHUTDOWN, BLUE for IN OPERATION, and GREEN for STANDBY MODE. Other indicators show GENERATING, HIGH, LOW, FLOW, HIGH SALT WARNING, LOW SALT WARNING, WATER FLOW WARNING, and SUPER CHLORINATION MODE.

Display Guide

• Daily Operation Time: Set by powering on or pressing SETTING. Displays as a daily cycle (e.g., "3" for 3 hours per day from startup). Adjust according to pool size; see section “Pool Size and Recommended Operation Time."
• Remaining Cycle Time: Displays the time left in the current cycle (e.g., "02:32" for 2 hours and 32 minutes remaining).
• Super Chlorination Mode (S): Enhanced chlorination mode, where the "-3" setting increases the normal chlorination duration to 24 times (3 multiplied by 8) the standard rate.
• Electrolytic Current (A1:15): Indicates the current flow for chlorination, typically yielding 2.6 times the chlorination rate relative to the current shown.

Function Description

• Setting Mode: Activate: Long press SETTING until display blinks. Adjust: Use TIME to set duration based on pool size.
• Chlorine Production Mode: Start: Press POWER after setting the time. Indicators: Blue light during operation, green light in hibernation. Resume: Automatically restarts at the same time the next day.
• Super Chlorine Mode: Activate: Press BOOST during normal operation for 8x extended chlorination. Note: Ensure the pump and filtration system are active.
• Self-Cleaning Mode: Automatic: Cleans every 2 hours with no user input required.
• Power-Off Memory: Resume: Automatically continues with previous settings after power loss.
• Water Flow Sensing: Monitor: Halts operation if no water is detected, then resumes without resetting the timer once flow is restored.
• Query Mode: Access: Long press TIME to view current settings. Press again to display the countdown. Exit with SETTING.
• ECO Copper Ion Generator: Maintenance: Regularly check copper ion concentration (0-0.5 mg/L) and gap size. Replace the generator if the gap exceeds approximately 0.4 inches.

Salt Concentration and Pool Settings

Salt Range

• Optimal Concentration: 2500-3500 PPM, ideal at 3000 PPM.
• Device Operational Range: 700-4000 PPM.
• Low Salt Risks: Reduces system efficiency and chlorine production.
• High Salt Risks: Can make water salty, damage power supply, and corrode metal fixtures.
• Salt loss only occurs with water removal, not evaporation.

Required Salt for Pools

Copper Ion Concentration

• Range: 0-0.5 mg/L. Confirm with copper ion test strips.

Pool Size and Recommended Operation Time

Troubleshooting

Salt Concentration and Pool Settings

• Water Flow Protection: FLOW Red Light
  Cause: Pump stopped or valves closed
  Solution: Start the circulation pump, check for blockages, and open valves.
  Cause: Faulty flow switch or loose connections
  Solution: Replace the flow switch if the pump is on and the switch is closed.
• High Salt Alert: HIGH Blue Light, GENERATING Bright Blue
  Cause: Excessive salt concentration
  Solution: Dilute by partially draining and refilling with fresh water.
• Overcurrent Protection: HIGH Red Light, GENERATING Bright Green
  Cause: High salt concentration or generator blockage
  Solution: Clean the generator, check the salt level, and restart the system.
• Low Salt Alert: LOW Blue Light
  Cause: Salt level below 700 PPM
  Solution: Add salt to the pool.
• Low Current: LOW Red Light
  Cause: Extremely low salt level or circuit break
  Solution: Check the generator and salt level. Replace the generator if necessary, especially if it's beyond its expected lifespan.
