Chlorine
Generators (cont.)
Alkalinity or Calcium Hardness, a
monthly check is sufficient. In some cases, you might still need to add chlorine for
shocking purposes due to extremely heavy bather loads, rainstorms, or accidents,
(fertilizer, excessive organic debris or human waste) but will not affect your chlorine
generator.
Will I
have to run my equipment more?
Your chlorine generator does not rely upon a higher
salt level AND extended pump run times
in order to generate enough chlorine,
provided the cell is properly sized to
the pool. Most units allows for multiple
configuration set-ups so that you can
generate sufficient amounts of chlorine
during your current pump circulation
time. For regions that have short
circulation times, you can increase the
output power of the generator to
compensate.
How long
will the cell last?
The residential cell is rated for approximately
10,000 hours of operation. This
typically translates to 3 - 5 years,
depending on pool volume, cell size and
the sanitizer demands of your pool.
Water chemistry balance, salt levels and
stabilizer levels are key factors in
ensuring maximum cell life. Proper water
chemistry is the key here. |
