This function is NOT reversible--be careful Operation Assuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are three factors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine the Aqua Rite Pro will generate: 1. filter run time each day (hours) 2. the desired output % setting or ORP setting (when using AQL-CHEM) 3. the amount of salt in the pool The filter pump timer should be set so that entire volume of pool water passes through the filter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may have to be set longer to generate enough chlorine. If optional AQL-CHEM sensing is NOT used. To find the optimum desired output % setting, start at approximately 50%. Test the chlorine level every few days and adjust the setting up or down accordingly. It usually takes 2-3 adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it should only take minor, infrequent adjustments. Because the chlorine demand of the pool increases with temperature, most people find they have to adjust the desired output up at the peak of the summer and down during the colder periods. The Aqua Rite Pro automatically stops generating when the pool water temperatures drops below 50ºF. This is usually not a problem because bacteria and algae stop growing at this temperature. You can override this low temperature cutoff by using the Super Chlorinate function for a day. 11
