want to "update" the Salt Display to the new Instant Salinity value. This action will clear the Salt
Display and substitute the Instant Salinity value. To do this, follow the steps below:
1. Slide the Main Switch from "Off" to the "Auto" position.
2. Push the Diagnostic button repeatedly until "-xxxx ppm" appears on the display.
3. Slide the Main Switch from "Auto" to "Super Chlorinate" and back to "Auto".
4. Push the Diagnostic button to exit.
Operation
Assuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are three factors
that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine the AquaRite will generate:
1. filter time each day (hours)
2. the "Desired Output %" setting
3. the amount of salt in the pool
The filter pump timer should be set so that all of the water in the pool passes through the filter each
day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may have to be set longer to generate enough
chlorine.
To find the optimum "Desired Output %" setting, start at approximately 50%. Test the chlorine level
every few days and adjust the dial up or down accordingly. It usually takes 2-3 adjustments to find
the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it should only take minor, infrequent adjustments.
Because the chlorine demand of the pool increases with temperature, most people find they have
to adjust the dial up at the peak of the summer and down during the colder periods. The AquaRite
automatically stops generating when the pool water temperatures drops below 50ºF. This is usually
not a problem because bacteria and algae stop growing at this temperature. You can override this
low temperature cutoff by switching to SUPER CHLORINATE for a day.
NOTE: After the ideal "Desired Output %" setting has been found, you may need to raise the setting
when the pool water temperature increases significantly, when there is higher than normal bather
load or when your chlorinator cell ages. You may need to lower the setting when the pool water
temperature decreases significantly or there are long periods of inactivity.
Prevent over-chlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Most pools require
less chlorine during cold weather and the “Desired Output %” should be lowered accordingly.
When connected to a pool automation control (Hayward Pro Logic, Pentair Intellitouch or Polaris Eos):
The AquaRite is designed to operate with all pool automation controls. The Pro Logic, Intellitouch or
Eos can fully control the function of the AquaRite
chlorinator in addition to the other pool equipment.
The "Remotely Controlled" LED on the AquaRite chlorinator will be illuminated when the automation
control is activated. Adjustment of the AquaRite "Desired Output %" and also Superchlorination can
be controlled from the pool automation display/keypad. Refer to the pool automation control instruc-
tions for more information. The AquaRite salt display and LED indicators operate as normal, but the
main switch and "Desired Output %" dial are disabled.
