Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
EQUIPMENT UNDER PRESSURE: Always turn pump off prior to installing or servicing the power pack, pod,
or cell. Your pump/filter system is operated under pressure and the pressure must be released before you begin
work. Please see your pump/filter owner's manual for further instructions.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified pool service professional.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect only to a branch circuit protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI), Class A GFCI in Canada. Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot
verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
Such a GFCI should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should
interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the
GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to this equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground
current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this equipment. Disconnect this
equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code® ("NEC
Canadian Electrical Code ("CEC" or C22.1) in Canada, and/or any other local and national installation codes.
The power pack must be interlocked/interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to ensure that the
chlorinator only operates when the pool pump is operating. The flow switch feature of the Polaris Autoclear SC is
intended to be used as a backup only and should not be used as the sole source of flow detection.
Do not bury the cords. Locate cords to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately and do not use an extension cord to
connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
The chlorine generating device is designed for above ground (residential) swimming pool use only. Contrary use
could affect performance, void warranty, and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
• Operating a chlorine generator without water flowing through the cell may cause a build up of flammable gases,
resulting in FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
• Keep equipment out of reach of children.
• Do not use if supply cord is damaged.
• A damaged supply cord should only be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or electrician.
• When installing and using this electrical equipment, always follow basic safety precautions.
• Before performing installation, disconnect all power.
• Connect to a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
• Do not use this device with bromide products.
• The power pack must be installed at least 2 ft. (0.6 m) vertically off the ground.
• The power pack must be installed at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from the inside wall of your swimming pool or spa. In Canada,
at least 3 meters (10 feet) horizontally from the edge of the pool and/or spa.
Should a lack of water be detected, the unit's electronic flow switch is designed to turn off the system. Interfering
with the electronic flow switch could result in personal injury and/or damage to the cell.
