Aqua Rite In-Ground Electronic Chlorine Generator – Part 2

The Key is the Turbo Cell

The key to Aqua Rites’ chlorine generation is the Turbo Cell, a specially-designed converter connected to the control unit by a simple plug-in cord, and plumbed into the filter pump’s return line to the pool. As water is pushed through the Turbo Cell, an extremely safe low-voltage electrical charge turns the salt previously added to the water into fresh, sanitizing chlorine which is then dispersed evenly throughout the pool via the return jets.

Installation is quick and easy, and suitable for all new or upgraded pools. Performance is virtually maintenance-free and extremely energy-and cost-efficient – making Aqua Rite the ideal alternative to traditional factory-produced chlorine.

Aqua Rite In-Ground Electronic Chlorine Generator

The Aquarite Salt System turns ordinary salt into pure chlorine, automatically, for in-ground pools up to 40,000 gallons.

Aqua Rite Electronic Chlorine Generators (also known as salt chlorinators) are the largest selling system in the world. They automatically produce pure chlorine every day while the pool is being filtered and distribute it evenly throughout the pool via the return jets. Aqua Rite generators use a low concentration of salt dissolved in the pool water (below the level of taste) to produce up to 1.45 lbs of chlorine daily, enough for all residential pools up to 40,000 gallons. They are also NSF certified and approved for use on commercial and public pools. They easily install on standard filtration systems, both for new construction and on existing pools.

Pentair IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator, Part Three

Simple, Safe, Automatic

Monitoring chlorine production is easy with the IntelliChlor chlorine generator. It’s the only one with all controls and displays built into the cell – and the only one providing so much helpful feedback to you. Just select from one of five sanitizing levels to easily manage chlorine addition.

• Easy-to-view displays enable fast checking of salt levels, cell cleanliness, sanitizer output, and water flow.
• Adjustment is as easy as pressing two buttons.
• All performance data – production settings, hours of operation, chlorine output, cell cleaning cycles, salt readings, and water temperature averages – are captured daily, making it easy to maintain perfect water.
• Exclusive cell use tracking feature communicates remaining hours of cell life in real-time.
• Integrated sensors in the generator cell ensure that water flow is adequate for safe chlorine generation; under low water temperature conditions, automatic shut-off feature protects the unit and prolongs cell life.
• Three-year limited warranty or 8,000 hours of chlorine output, whichever comes first.

Pentair IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator, Part Two

A New Standard in Chlorine Generator Technology

IntelliChlor takes electrolytic chlorine generation to a higher level of convenience, reliability and safety. But to understand why the IntelliChlor generator is better, it helps to first understand how it works.

Ordinary table salt (sodium chloride) is added to the pool water… less than a teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water is all that’s required. As the dissolved salt flows through the generator cell, it is electrolytically converted to pure chlorine, which is then distributed throughout the pool, sanitizing the water, keeping it fresh, clear, and safe.

Unlike conventional chlorine additives that must be constantly replenished, the salt is recycled continuously, day after day, to further reduce pool maintenance requirements. The generator even keeps itself clean with an automatic reverse cycling feature that prevents scale build-up for longer cell life.

Now, Crystal Clear, Safe Water is Automatic

Electrolytic Chlorine Generation is the easiest, most effective and convenient way to keep pool water sparkling clean. The IntelliChlor chlorine generator uses common table salt to produce all the chlorine your pool needs, right in your pool – safely, effectively, and automatically.

• Same sanitation performance as manual chlorine addition without the drawbacks.
• No need to buy, transport and store expensive chlorine compounds.
• No more odor, stinging eyes, irritated skin and bleached out swimsuits.

Aqua Trol Questions and Anwers, Part 4

Aqua Trol Chlorine Generator Recalibration Instructions

When attempting to recalibrate the average salt reading (default reading ( 2700-3400ppm) ) the pump needs to be running. If the pump is not running, the system will show “NO FLOW”, if flashing this is just a warm up process and the unit is waiting for the water to begin moving through the cell to carry the chlorine out to the pool. Once flow is established the unit should begin to display the “POWER” & “GENERATING” lights solid green. Once this happens the cell has just engaged and is trying to measure the salt level. Press the diagnostic button once.

The unit then gives the following:

Default = what the unit thinks the salt level is due to an average of all previously recorded “instant salt readings” from all of the different polarity changes since the system was installed, or since the last time the unit was recalibrated.

First the unit reads the temp, then the voltage in the cell, then the amperage, then it will display the desired output percentage (where you have the dial set to), then next reading is the “instant salt reading”, or what the cell thinks the salt level is right at that moment. Then it will show “AL-X”, this just tells the technician what type of system they are working on (Aqua Trol, Naturesoft, ect…), and then finally the software revision (r1.XX), this just tells the technician what to look for symptom wise, for instance a certain combination of lights. “Low/ check salt” and “inspect cell” are the most common lights and they are usually on together as the cell is saying it’s not sure if the problem is in fact the salt or if it perhaps has a calcium build up.

So you will see:

• Default
• temp
• voltage
• amperage
• desired output
• instant salt reading (comes up with a dash before the # to differentiate with default
• product code
• software revision
• back to default

Now moving the slide switch from “AUTO” to “SUPER CHLORINATE” and then back to “AUTO” on our control box is basically like pressing ‘enter’ on a computer. If the unit is reading 2700-3400PPM it is in the standard mode, if it reads 2.70-3.40, it is in the metric mode. If you need to change the reading, press the diagnostic button once to display the temperature. Then slide the switch up to “SUPER CHLORINATE” for a few seconds, as long as the “SUPER CHLORINATE” light illuminates, you can switch back, this should be instantaneous. This procedure will toggle between the two different settings.

Aqua Trol Questions and Answers, Part 3

What kind of salt do I use and where can I get it?

Salt is now available at many pool stores. It is the same salt commonly found at home improvement centers nationwide for use with home water conditioners. For more information on salt click here.

What is the warranty and how do I get warranty service?

The Aqua Trol chlorinator is backed by the best warranty in the industry. For warranty service, simply call the Goldline technical service department at 888-921-7665, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 8PM.

Why doesn’t the salt reading match a tester?

The chlorinator, as well as any tester has a tolerance and when tested, commonly the unit will not read exactly the same as a tester. Most test units as well as the chlorinator have a tolerance of roughly 100-300PPM so seeing readings 400-600PPM off is common.

Why is there a decimal point in the salt reading (2.70, 3.10, ect.)?

This simply means the unit was switched to read in the metric mode & PPT. Pressing the diagnostic button once will display the temperature in Celsius, with the Celsius temperature displayed, flip the switch to SUPER CHLORINATE, and then back to AUTO and that will force the unit to read Fahrenheit and PPM.

What is “SUPER CHLORINATE”?

The unit will run in 2 separate polarities and continually switch sides as long as the pump continues to run. The desired output percentage dial will tell the chlorinator how long to generate in each polarity, SUPER CHLORINATE simply tells the unit to ignore the dial setting for 24 hours and generate chlorine @ 100% of its capability.
