Question 3

I have a variable speed pump. The question is, when I am at the low speed I suspect the flow will not be enough for the flow switch to read so it will not produce salt. Is this correct? Will this harm the system?If I purchase this my plan is to set the pump speeds to get the chlorine level I need. Pool is 15000 gallons View answer

Question 5

I have a timer on my pump. Does the generator need to be on a timer also or is it ok to just let the flow switch shut down the unit when the pump is off? View answer

Question 6

Does the chlorinator need to have water circulating through it continuously? My pool has a timer to run about 8 hours a day. Does the unit need to be oversized for this? View answer

Question 7

This says it can produce up to 1.4 lbs of chlorine per day. Would this be assuming it is running at 100% output for 24 hours? Just trying to figure out my run time and output settings. Last year I was using about a 1/2 pound to 3/4 pound of chlorine per day before I installed this salt cell View answer

Question 38

Is there a regular interval at which polarity is reversed? I run my pump 4 hours per day. When not running there will be no power to the control unit. I'm worried based on my past experience with Zodiac LM that with power being cut, the polarity will be reversed every 4 hours after power up which would be a problem (of course I can run it longer if needed).

Question 39

1. On my screen it says power 50% it will not go higher. Is this because the water temp is less than 60 degrees. 2. Will it go higher when the water temp goes up View answer
