Introduction The AquaTrol® is an automatic chlorine generation system with a built-in filter pump timer designed specifically for above ground pools. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water at levels low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The AquaTrol automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which kills bacteria and algae in the pool through a process called electrolysis. Because chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria, these reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more salt to the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing (not evaporation). The AquaTrol incorporates a built in timer to control the pool filter. This timer insures that the proper daily filtration and sanitization occurs. The AquaTrol is designed to handle the purification needs of the average residential above ground swimming pool of up to 18,000 gallons (67,500 liters). The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies depending upon bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness. The AquaTrol is available with several different options to allow for easy installation on a wide variety of above ground pools. The cell may be connected with 1½" - 1¼" flexible hose or to 2" rigid PVC pipe when the -HP option is ordered, or the cell may be mounted directly to the pool return jet when the -RJ version is ordered. Similarly, the electrical connections may be made via 120V/15A "straight blade" linecord and receptacle (standard AquaTrol version, no option designation) or may be made via a 120V/20A "twist lock" linecord and receptacle when the -TL version is ordered.

NOTE: The use of dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pool pH is discouraged especially in arid regions where pool water is subject to excessive evaporation and is not commonly diluted with fresh water. Dry acid can cause a buildup of by-products that can damage your chlorinator cell. 1 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
