HOW THE CHLORINE IS GENERATED
This product is specially designed for above ground pools. It will destroy the
bacteria, oxidize bather organics and control algae, which provide you a safe,
clean and comfortable swimming pool
Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chlorine.
During the installation of your Saltwater System/Filter Pump, a measured
quantity of salt is dissolved in the pool water to make it slightly salty. The
pool water flows through the saltwater system’s electrolytic cell to produce
HCLO. The HCLO dissolves in the water and instantly starts destroying bacteria
and algae. It also oxidizes all other organic materials.
HOW COPPER IONS ARE GENERATED
Low voltage direct current is applied to the copper electrode, and copper ions
are generated and dissolved instantly in the water. Copper is an effective
algaecide, which will prevent algae from growing in the pool.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

STRAINER & PLUNGER VALVE SETUP
The Saltwater System/Filter Pump must be installed as the last piece of pool
equipment in the water return line to the pool. This location extends the life
of the titanium plates.
IMPORTANT
The strainer grid prevents large objects from jamming and/or damaging the
filter pump. The plunger valve assembly prevents water from flowing into the
filter pump while the filter cartridge is being placed or cleaned. If your
pool has an inflatable top ring, install the strainer, nozzle and plunger
valve before inflating the pool liner top ring. The parts numbers here onward,
refer to the parts depicted in the Parts List section of this manual. To
install, do the following:
- Grasp the strainer and plunger valve mechanism.
- In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew plunger valve union from the threaded strainer connector (24). Be careful not to lose the step rubber washer (21).
- Grasp the plunger valve assembly. Make sure the step washer (21) is in place. Connect adaptor B (26) to plunger valve union.
- Repeat steps 1 through 3 for nozzle and plunger valve mechanism.
- Remove wall plug and then insert the strainer (27 & 29) into the lower position of protruding hose connection, and the nozzle (27 & 28) into the upper position of protruding hose connection. Adaptor B (26) fits over the strainer connection (27) inserted into the connection.
- Examine the plunger valve to see if the handle is pushed fully down to the “0/1” position. If not, then grasp the handle at the top and push down turning the handle in a clockwise direction until the plastic protruding notch anchor is in the “0/1” position. This will prevent water from flowing out during filling.
- The pool liner is now ready to fill with water. Consult the above-ground-pool owner’s manual for filling instructions.

SALTWATER SYSTEM/FILTER PUMP
Saltwater System/Filter Pump
-
Remove the Saltwater System/Filter Pump and hoses from the packaging.
-
Place the Saltwater System/Filter Pump in a location for hose (8) connections to the plunger valve assemblies.
NOTE: Some regional regulations may require the filter pump to be mounted on a stationary platform. There are two mounting holes located in the pump base for this reason. Consult your local authorities for filter pump mounting requirements. -
Grasp the two pump hoses (8) and connect the hose nuts to the Saltwater System/Filter Pump.
-
In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the threaded filter housing collar (3) from the filter housing. Place it in a safe place.
-
The Saltwater System/Filter Pump is an airtight system. In a counter-clockwise motion turn both air release valves (1 & 7) 1 – 2 turns to open. DO NOT remove air release valves as water will expel with force if the motor is turned on and injury may occur.
-
Grasp and remove the filter housing cover (4). Check to see if a cartridge is inside the housing. If yes, replace the cover, finger tighten the housing collar (3) back onto the filter housing.
-
Gently finger tighten the sediment release valve located at the bottom of the housing to be sure that water does not leak out.
-
When the pool is filled connect the hose from the electrolytic cell outlet to the highest strainer assembly. You will find the hose connection at the bottom of the plunger valve assembly. Use the hose nut to attach the hose.
-
Connect the second hose to the middle of the motor housing and to theremaining liner connection.
IMPORTANT
To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose) first
and then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open air release
valves, lift and lower the inlet hose until water starts to flow out of the
air release valves, close air release valves.
SALT & POOL WATER VOLUMES
-
Which kind of salt to use:
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take a longer time for them to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt. Salt is added to the pool water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create the sanitizer. So, the purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell. -
Optimum Salt Levels
The ideal salt level in the pool water is between 2500-3500 ppm (parts per million).
The optimal level is 3000 ppm.
A too low salt level will reduce the efficiency of the saltwater system and result in low sanitizer production. A high salt level may generate a salty taste to the pool water (this may occur at a salt level above 3500-4000ppm). Too high of a salt level may damage the power supply and cause corrosion to pool metal fixtures and accessories. The Salt Table page of this manual, shows the correct dosage of salt needed. The salt in the pool is constantly recycled. Salt loss occurs only when pool water is physically removed from the pool. Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
• Adding Salt
- Switch on the unit, then press and hold both and button for 5 seconds, the LED flashes “FP”. The unit is now in a Filter pump working mode and switch the filter pump on to start the water circulation.
- Keep the Saltwater System turned off.
- Determine the amount of salt to be added (see “Salt Table”).
- Evenly spread the proper amount of salt around the inside perimeter of the pool.
- Avoid clogging the filter by not adding salt through the skimmer.
- Brush the pool bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow salt to pile up on the bottom of the pool. Run the filter pump 24 consecutive hours to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
- After 24 hours and if all the salt is dissolved, turn on the Saltwater System, press button until you hear a “beep”, code “00” flashing (see “System Operation” section steps 2 to 4) and set the saltwater pool system to desired operating time (see “Operating Time Table”).
• Removing Salt
If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “Code 92” (see
“Alarm Codes”). You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to
do sois to partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water. Drain and
refill approximately 20% of the pool’s water until the “Code 92” disappears.

FILTER PUMP OPERATION **
**
-
Make sure the unit is switched off. The switch is located on the control station.
-
Connect the power cord to a GFCI/RCD protected electrical outlet.
** WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Connect this product only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI/RCD. Use a qualified electrician to install the GFCI/RCD, which has a maximum rate of 30mA. Do not use a portable residual current device (PRCD).
IMPORTANT**
To prevent air lock, open the lower plunger valve (connected inlet hose) first and then the upper plunger valve (connected outlet hose). Open air release valves, lift and lower the inlet hose until water starts to flow out of the air release valves, close air release valves. -
Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, pull up until it stops, and then turn it clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchor is in the “0/1” position. Repeat for the second plunger valve. This opens the valves, allowing water to flow into the unit.
-
With water flowing into unit, the water pressure will allow the air trapped inside to escape from the air release valves (1 & 7). When all the air has escaped water will flow out of the valves (1 & 7). When this occurs gently finger tighten the valves in a clockwise direction.
-
Turn on the switch. The filter pump is now filtering the water.
-
The green “Pump” light on the control panel will light up, that indicates the filter pump is running.
SALTWATER SYSTEM OPERATION
-
Start up the unit:
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and test the GFCI/RCD (circuit breaker). Switch on the unit. With the Filter Pump turned “ON” and operating. The green “Pump” light on the control panel will be on and flashing code “00” appears on the electronic control station’s LED, indicating that the unit is ready to be programmed. This is normal. -
Set operating hours for Saltwater System:
With code “00” flashing, press button to set the desired operating hours. See the “Operating Time Table” for the required operating hours related to each pool size. Pressing will increase the time from 01 to 12 hours maximum. If you have selected
too many hours keep pressing to repeat the cycle. The built-in timer will now activate your Saltwater System, at the same time each day, for the number of hours you have set.
NOTE: The Saltwater System will not operate if the filter pump is not operating.
-
Lock keypad controls:
With the desired hour value showing, press button until you hear a “beep”. The green “WORKING” indicator on the control panel will light up within a few seconds to indicate that the saltwater system has started sanitizer production. Locking the control buttons into this setting prevents unauthorized changing of the operating cycle.
NOTE: If you forget to lock the keypad controls, the system will automatically lock it and start working 1 minute later. -
Unlock & Readjust operating time if necessary:
The operating hours can be re-adjusted if necessary. Press button until you hear a “beep” to unlock the keypad and the current programmed time will flash. Repeat steps 2 to 3. -
Test the copper concentration in the pool water.
The Saltwater System recommends a copper level of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm. This is easily tested by the copper ion test strips provided. If the test result is 0.1~0.2ppm, go directly to step 7.
-
Boost cycle
• If the test result is below 0.1ppm, press and hold “BOOST” button for 5 seconds until the indicator lights up and the LED display display “80”. This indicates that the saltwater system has started copper ion and more chlorine sanitizer production.
You can press and hold the “BOOST” button for another 5 seconds until the indicator is off, which will cancel the Boost cycle.
Note: Once the system has started copper ion and more chlorine sanitizer production, the boost button can’t be re-set until the power switch is off.
• The boost operating hours is 4 times the amount of time programmed into the system, i.e. if your saltwater system operating time is 2 hours, the boost procedure will run 4 x 2 = 8 hours. After boost procedure has been completed, the system will automatically switch to the normal working mode.
• After a heavy rain or if the pool is dirty, press the “BOOST” button to shock the pool again. -
Test pool water regularly:
Once the copper level appears to be balanced, test the pool water every week to maintain the proper sanitizer level.
It’s very important that the free chlorine is between 0.4-1.5 ppm and copper ion concentration is between 0.1~0.2 ppm. When the copper level is below 0.1 ppm, repeat step 6.
NOTE: A High copper ion concentration may cause blonde hair to exhibit a green hair. To prevent this, wear a swimming cap during swimming, and wash hair with special shampoo after using the pool. See “Troubleshooting Guide”. -
Stand-by/power saving mode:
• When the cycle ends, the green “SLEEP” indicator on the control panel lights up and the LED display flashes “93”.
The system is now in Stand-By mode. After a while, it shuts down and sets itself in a Power Saving mode. The system will automatically turn itself back on in 24 hours, starting its daily cycle of chlorine production.
• The “SLEEP” indicator stays on, while the system is in the Power Saving mode. The LED display however, goes blank after 1 hour. Press any button ( or ) to view the last LED code. -
Running the pump alone without the Saltwater System:
To run the pump alone without the Saltwater System function, press and hold both and buttons until you hear a “beep”, the LED display will show “FP”. The pump is now operating alone. NOTE: The pump cannot be operated alone under an automatic timer mode. To stop the pump, manually turn the switch OFF.
IMPORTANT: To keep the initial automatic operating cycle setting of the Saltwater System, turn the switch ON, the LED display will show “FP”, and then press until you hear a “beep”. The LED display will now show the initial input hours and the Saltwater System cycle will repeat again.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always unplug this product from the electrical outlet before removing,
cleaning, servicing or making any adjustment to the product.
IMPORTANT
Close plunger valves on your pool or insert black hat-like plugs in strainer
opening to prevent water spillage. Open plunger valves or remove plugs when
maintenance is completed.
FLOW SENSOR CLEANING
- In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the collar of the flow sensor (11) and remove it from the flow sensor conduit (15). See “Part Reference”.
- If deposits and debris are seen on the surface of the flow sensor, then use a garden hose to wash it off.
- If flushing with water does not remove the deposits, use a plastic brush to clean the surface and the hinge if necessary. Do not use a metal brush.
- After the flow sensor has been inspected and cleaned, align the locator notch on the flow sensor to the connection ridge in the conduit. Now turn the collar in a clockwise motion, tightening the sensor back into its position. Do not overtighten.
ELECTROLYTIC CELL CLEANING
The electrolytic cell (13) has a self cleaning function incorporated into the
electronic control’s programming. In most cases this self cleaning action will
keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. If the pool water is hard (high
mineral content) the cell may require periodic manual cleaning. To maintain
maximum performance, we recommend that you open and visually inspect the
electrolytic cell (13) once every month.
The following steps provide instructions on how to clean your cell.
-
Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
-
Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, push down until it stops and then turn it clockwise until the plastic protruding notch anchor is in the “0/I” position. Repeat for the second plunger valve. This prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.
-
Disconnect the hose with nut (8) from the Saltwater System, and assemble the cell cover (30) at the side of the cell.
-
In a counter-clockwise motion, unscrew the collar of the copper electrode (14) and remove it from the electrolytic cell (13). Lift up the copper electrode.
-
Pour kitchen grade vinegar into the cell to immerse the titanium plates. Then put the copper electrode back in the cell, soak them for about one hour until no colored areas remain.
-
Open one side of the cell cover (30), drain and properly dispose of the vinegar. Connect the hose which goes from the pool to the cell. Flush the cell with the pool water.
-
Reverse steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 to reconnect the electrolytic cell.
CLEANING OR REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGES
It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least every 2
weeks.
-
Make sure the unit is turned off, and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
-
Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, push down until it stops and then turn it clockwise until the plastic protruding notch anchor is in the “0/1” position. Repeat for the second plunger valve. This prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.
-
Gently turn both air release valves (1 & 7) once or twice in a counter-clockwise direction. The housing cover can now be easily removed.
-
In a counter-clockwise direction remove the filter housing collar (3). Place it in a safe location.
-
Remove the housing cover (4).
-
Now remove the used filter cartridge.
-
Examine the inside of the filter housing.
-
If dirt or sediment is located on the bottom of the housing then:
A. In a counter-clockwise motion gently unscrew and remove the sediment valve (1) located at the bottom of the housing. Place it in a safe place.
B. With a bucket of water or a garden hose pour water into the housing flushing out the sediment.
C. Screw back the sediment valve (1) in a gentle clockwise motion. Do not over-tighten. -
Place a new cartridge filter in the housing.
-
Return the housing cover (4) to its installed position and in a clockwise direction rescrew the housing collar (3) onto the filter housing.
-
Turn both plunger valve handles in a counter-clockwise direction, pull up until they stop, and then turn them clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchor is in the “0/1” position.
-
Reconnect the power cord.
-
Turn on the unit.
-
When the trapped air has escaped through the air release valves gently retighten the valves (1 & 7) in a clockwise direction.

GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY
Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent
risks of injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all
product, package and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember,
however, that product warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some
common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all risks and dangers.
For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following
general guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized
Safety Organizations:
- Demand constant supervision. A competent adult should be appointed as a “lifeguard” or water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.
- Learn to swim.
- Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
- Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the use of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.
- Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.
- Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.
- Supervise, supervise, supervise.
