lRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - A disconnect device incorporated into the fixed wiring must be
included in the supply circuit (such as a time clock, relay, or circuit breaker).
lRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a
GFCI.
lRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The chlorinator must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI must be tested on a routine basis. To
test, push the GFCI test button. Power should be interrupted. Push the reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, it is defective.
lRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - If the ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) interrupts power to the
equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing with a possibility of an
electrical shock. Do not use equipment. Disconnect the equipment and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
lRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The unit has two bonding lugs marked "Bonding Lugs" that are
provided on the external surface or on the inside of the power supply terminal box or compartment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub or spa
to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
lCHEMICAL HAZARD - To avoid damaging splashes, always add acid to water, never water to acid.
Wear safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection equipment.
lCHEMICAL HAZARD - Always follow the instructions on the manufacturer's label whenever handling or
using chemicals.
lCHEMICAL HAZARD – Heavy pool (or spa) usage and higher temperatures may require a higher
chlorine output in order to maintain proper free available chlorine residuals.
lWATER CHEMISTRY SAFETY - Improper water chemistry can present a serious health hazard. The
proper residual chlorine level and water chemistry must be maintained. The addition of certain pool
maintenance chemicals can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. Maintain pool/spa water per standards
detailed later in this manual.
lCOMBUSTIBLE HAZARD – The AutoPilot®chlorinator is equipped with an electronic flow sensor that
automatically turns the unit off in the event of a “low water flow” situation. Do not tamper in any way with
this safety feature.
lPERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this
device.
lRISK OF CHILD DROWNING OR INJURY - Children must be closely supervised at all times around pool
or spa equipment.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
lThe ChlorSync®must be installed and operated as specified. Failure to do so will void the equipment
warranty.
lTo permit proper air circulation, the power center must be mounted at least 5 ft (1.5 m) above ground
level or any other air flow obstruction.
lSpecial measures are required in the event of freezing conditions. Your chlorinator may be damaged if
measures are not taken in advance of freezing conditions. Equipment damage due to freezing
conditions is NOT covered under the equipment warranty.
lFor all newly constructed or resurfaced plaster pools: Do not operate the AutoPilot®with newly poured or
resurfaced pool plaster. Before adding salt and operating the chlorinator, wait 30 days after construction
is completed to allow proper curing of the surface material. Follow the pool surface manufacturer’s
guidelines for your specific pool.
lFOR NEW VINYL LINER POOLS, contact the manufacturer for recommended instructions before
adding salt and operating the ChlorSync®.
lDo not allow granular salt to pile up in one location without brushing, as staining may occur.
