Startup

5.4.1

Start-Up Cartridge Procedure

1. Install the cartridge after the water has been balanced.
2. With the circulation system OFF, remove the collar from the Nature
installed system, remove and store the temporary plug supplied with the unit.
3. Insert the Nature
4. Turn on pool circulation system.
5. For newly fi lled pools, replace after 30 days with Nature
pools]. See Section 4.3.
5.4.2

Shocking

Shock (superoxidation) the pool water from an alternate source at the time of pool startup to burn off
contaminates. During normal operating conditions the chlorinator is capable of generating a suffi cient level
of chlorine for sanitation within several hours. However, if the pool water has a high chlorine demand due
to startup conditions then the chlorinator will not be able to produce enough chlorine to reach break-point
chlorination. Shocking involves the manual addition of chemicals to quickly raise the level of chlorine. When
the chlorine level is quickly raised to 5 - 15 ppm the pool water is said to have been shocked Wait until the
chlorine level has returned to 0.5 - 3.0 ppm before turning on the saltwater chlorinating system.

Apply Power

1. Turn on the pool pump. When the chlorinator is fi rst turned on (cold), the unit will beep. Next it will self-
calibrate the fl ow/temp/salinity sensor. After going through an internal test and calibration, the LCD will
display the current setting for chlorine production (00% to 100%). During the calibration period "Wait"
will appear. "Wait" means the unit is self calibrating and doing internal testing. This process usually takes
less than six (6) minutes.
2. Check salinity level by pressing the SALINITY button (C) . It should read between 3.0 gpl and 3.5 gpl. If
it does not, then press the SALINITY button (C) two (2) or three (3) more times until the salinity reading
stabilizes.
NOTE If still less than 3.0 gpl refer to pages 30 through 31 and adjust salt concentration level. (Maintain the
Recommended Salinity Level of 3.0 to 3.5 gpl). If salinity is below 2.0 gpl the system will automatically
turn the electrolytic cell off until the salinity is raised above 2.0 gpl. Operating with a low salt
concentration will damage the electrolytic cell. Likewise, if salinity is above the range of measurement
the system will automatically turn the electrolytic cell off until the salinity is lowered to a measurable
level. Operating with high salt will damage the power center. If salinity is greater than 3.5 gpl, see
Section 7, Troubleshooting.
3. Adjust the chlorine production to 50% by pressing the arrow buttons (A) or (B) .
4. After 24 hours, use a reliable test kit to measure the pool water for free active chlorine. The ideal range to
maintain is 1 - 3 ppm. If the chlorine content of the pool water is
by pressing the up arrow button
chlorine production by pressing the down arrow button
in smaller increments (5%) as the correct chlorine level is approached.
5. Due to a varying chlorine demand of pool water, it may take a few days to determine the correct pool pump
operating time and chlorine production percentage setting for your pool. Continue adjusting as necessary,
allowing 24 hours between adjustments until the chlorine content of the pool water has stabilized at 1 - 3
ppm.
