2. Purifier Production/ System Sizing/ "Rules of Thumb" 

While purifier 

demand 

varies beyond precise prediction, and you may desire a higher or lower 

purifier resid ual in your pool, the following "rules of thumb" will assist you in properly selecting 
the correct CRISTAL MAGIC model. 

1. A Control Panel with a CM3 cell , operated at maximum output (3.0 Amps), at 3000 ppm salt 

residual will produce Sodium Hypochlorite equivalent to 0.11 kg of chlorine in 24 hours of 
continuous operation. 
This amount of chlorine could satisfy up to 37,000 L of pool water, depending on the 8 
demand variables for purifier.  

2. A Control Panel with a CM5 cell , operated at maximum output (3.0 Amps), at 3000 ppm salt 

residual will produce Sodium Hypochlorite equivalent to 0.22 kg of chlorine in 24 hours of 
continuous operation. 
This amount of chlorine could satisfy up to 57,000 L of pool water, depending on the 8 
demand variables for purifier.  

NOTE: Residual salt levels must be maintained above 2800 ppm and below 3200 ppm. Do not 

exceed 3200 ppm salt residual if you object to salty tasting water!
