STEP 8: Calibrate Flow Switch

STEP 7: Plug in Linecord

1. After being powered on for the rst time, the Salt

& Swim will display a blinking INADEQUATE
WATER FLOW LED and a solid STANDING BY
LED. Keep the Salt & Swim powered for the
remainder of this procedure.

2. Turn the lter pump ON. Make sure that full ow

is achieved (no air in the system) and run the
pump for at least 15 seconds.

3. Turn the lter pump OFF for 15 seconds.

4. The Salt & Swim should now display a solid
INADEQUATE WATER FLOW and a solid
STANDING BY LED. The Flow Switch Calibra­tion procedure is complete. You can now turn on

your lter pump and begin normal operation.

STEP 3: Install Nut Assembly

Follow the procedure below to install the Nut
Assembly.

Remove the foam protector from the SAS­CELL. Fully cover Cell pins with supplied
grease. Verify that the O-ring is attached to
the Cell before inserting the Cell into the Cell
Vessel as shown.

STEP 5: Insert Cell

STEP 4: Install Cell Vessel

STEP 6: Attach Cap

Plug in Cell Cap and secure with
Retaining Nut.

Run the pump for 5 minutes or until all air
is out of the system. Check for leaks and
then turn the pump off.

STEP 2: Determine where Cell Vessel will be installed

The Cell Vessel must be the very last component installed in the
pool’s return piping before the water returns back to the pool. It can be
installed vertically or horizontally and requires approximately 10 inches
of straight pipe at the installation location.

Use the included Cutting Template to aid in marking and cutting

the pipe. The entire Cutting Template must t on the pipe
otherwise the Cell Vessel will not t. Secure the Template and

use a permanent marker to mark all 10 cutouts.
