IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical equipment, please take basic safety precautions, including the following:

Please note, the total working hours for the salt cell should be less than 8 hours total per day. If you 

are using a variable speed pump for 24 hours a day, be sure to adjust the chlorine output to 25-30%. If 

the pump is only running 10 hours per day adjust the chlorine output between 60-80%. You can use 

this equation to calculate the appropriate chlorine output for your pool, suggesting 6 hours per day.   

Pump running 24 (Hours a day) *25% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 25%). 

Pump running 20 (Hours a day) *30% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 30%). 

Pump running 15 (Hours a day) *40% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 40%). 

Pump running 12 (Hours a day) *50% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 50%). 

Pump running 8 (Hours a day) *75% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 75%). 

Start the VS pump on a low speed and kick the speed up until the salt system works.
