1 OPERA TION The Aqua Rite ® is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanita- tion. The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water. These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted.
Saturation index The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is an indicator of the pool water "balance". Y our water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2. If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into the water .
3 Salt Level Use the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements are in feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown. The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal.

7 "Desired Output %" adjustment knob The "Desired Output %" adjustment knob is located in the lower center of the Aqua Rite control panel. This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua Rite generates. Raise this setting to increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease chlorine level.
8 Maint aining the Aqua Rite System To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Rite ® will remind you to do this by flashing the "Inspect Cell" LED after approximately 500 hours of operation.
9 INST ALLA TION Installation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes. Preparing Pool/Spa Water Refer to page 1 for recommended chemical levels.
Plumbing Ensure that the Aqua Rite ® installation does not constitute a cross connection with the local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes. The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. The preferred installation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater, solar, etc.
11 Wiring Power must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure to follow Local and NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the Aqua Rite ® must be properly grounded and bonded. Input Power For stand alone operation: Wire the Aqua Rite to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer.
12 Input Power for use with Jandy AquaLink ® RS: Wire the AquaRite ® DIRECTLY to 120/240VAC power (not through timer or re- lay). Optional Jandy AquaLink RS: The Jandy AquaLink RS and Aqua Rite use a 4 wire connection to communicate and can be wired up to 500' apart.
