Setting Timers
Your Chlorinator has 2 timers enabling you to set different periods in which your chlorinator/pump will operate. Timers are
set by entering a start time and an off time. To set timers, do the following:
(a) Press the MENU button twice and screen should display TMR. Press ENTER
(b) Use up and down arrows to adjust start time for TIMER1. Press ENTER
(c) Use up and down arrows to adjust the off time for TIMER 1. Press ENTER.
(d) Repeat for TIMER 2
Programming Recommendations
CTX PROFESSIONAL recommend that you use two timers, one for the morning and one for the evening and typically for
periods of
2-5 hours for each. Your chlorinator is most effective if running in the early morning or evening when it is cooler (strong
sunlight consumes more chlorine). As a factory default, the control is set to come on at 08:00am and 04:00pm both for
periods of 4 hours.
6.0 CHLORINE OUTPUT
To adjust the chlorine output:
(a) Use Increase/Decrease arrows for setting the chlorine output level of the chlorinator. The Chlorinator output can
be set from levels 1 through to 8.
(b) Chlorine Output display shows the level set
7.0 USER OPERATION
The user mode buttons enable you to select Pool or Spa mode and to manually control the Chlorinator/Pump. Functions are
as follows:
POOL MODE:
(a)
Auto - Running
Manual -Running
Manual - Stopped
Maximum efficiency will be achieved from you chlorinator at the following levels:
Water temperature 15 Degrees - Salt level required is 6000 ppm
Water Temperature 25 Degrees - Salt level required is 4,100 ppm
8.0 FAULT CODES
The User Display can indicate the following fault codes;
NO F - No flow indication
LO S - Low salt indication
Refer to troubleshooting table at the end of this manual for actions to correct these errors.
9.0 SETTING RIGHT CHLORINE OUTPUT AND FILTRATION TIME
Your CTX PROFESSIONAL E-SERIESChlorinator must be run every day to ensure that your pool is correctly sanitized. As
the sun dissipates chlorine, running times are higher in the summer compared to the winter. CTX PROFESSIONAL
recommend that you initially run you chlorinator at maximum output.
Summer
You should set your Chlorinator to operate for 8 to 10 hours per day. Ideally, run it for 4-5 hours in the morning (say
8-12pm) and 4-5 hours in the evening (say 6.00-11pm).
In extremely hot weather it may be necessary to extend the running time if you find that the free chlorine level is too low.
To prevent consumption of chlorine by sunlight, try adding Cyanuric Acid (CTX-400 Clor Protect) as recommended by your
local pool professional. Additional benefit will be gained by operating your chlorinator and pump into the evening when the
strong sunlight has abated.
Chlorine is most effective when the pH of your pool water is 7.4. The electro-chemical process of the chlorinator, (change
salt into chlorine) will automatically raise the pH of your pool water, so it is very important to check your pH weekly and
adjust as necessary.
Winter
You should set your Chlorinator to operate for 6 to 8 hours per day. Again, running it in the morning and evening is
preferable.
Checking Chlorine Level
Ideally, check you Chlorine level after the morning operating period. The free chlorine residual level should be somewhere
between 1 and 3 parts per million. Increase or decrease the output of the Chlorinator to get the right residual chlorine level.
It may also be necessary to adjust the operating period if you are running at minimum or maximum output.
