OPERATION
The SANICLEAR chlorine generation system is an automatic machine for pool & spa sanitation. The
operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water at levels low enough that it
normally cannot be tasted. It automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine, which
kills bacteria and algae in the pool through a process called electrolysis.
The SANICLEAR 40 chlorine generator system is designed to handle the average swimming pool up to
45,000 gallons (170,000 liters). The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies
depending upon bather load, rainfall, air temperature, and water temperature, pool’s exposure to sunlight,
pool’s surface and cleanliness.
The maximum output of hypochlorus acid is equivalent to 0.54 kg per day. Check with your local code for
other restriction.
If your pool has natural stone as coping or decking, please check with a stone installation specialist for the
maintenance of the stone before installing the salt chlorinator.
DESIRED LEVEL ADJUSTMENT KNOB
This setting is used to control the percentage of time the SANICLEAR system will produce chlorine. Adjust
this setting to increase or decrease the chlorine output duration. The reading is from 5 percent output to 100%
output chlorine production duration of the SANICLEAR system.
For example; if the adjustement knob is at 60%, the SANICLEAR system will produce chlorine (at its top
rate) during 60% of the time, the other 40% of the time, the SANICLEAR system will not produce anything.
