IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Important Notice: Attention Installer: This manual contains important information
about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the
owner and/or operator of this equipment.
WARNING - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions
which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in
severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free
copies of these instructions.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING - When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD
WATER TO ACID.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified Pool
Service Professional.
WARNING - Do not operate electrolytic cell without proper flow or water circulation. A build-up
of flammable gases will result in hazardous conditions.
CAUTION - When using IntelliChlor with an IntelliTouch system, it is recommended to wire the
IntelliChlor Power Center to the pump side of the relay located in the IntelliTouch Load Center. This
wiring method does not require a ground fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) to protect the circuit. A green
colored terminal (or a wire connector marked “G”, “GR”, “Ground” or “Grounding”) is provided within
the terminal compartment in the Power Center transformer enclosure. To reduce risk of electric
shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electric service or
supply panel with a conductor equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
The power supply must be interconnected with pool pump motor power source. This insures the
IntelliChlor chlorinator and pool pump will switch on and off together.
CAUTION - Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazardous. Follow the
Chemical Manufacturer’s Instructions.
CAUTION - Install the IntelliChlor unit a minimum of two (2) feet from the heater outlet.
CAUTION - It is recommended to install a Pentair 2” CHECK VALVE (P/N 263042) between the
input side of the IntelliChlor cell and the main heater output pipe.
