IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT IF THIS
PRODUCT IS NOT INSTALLED AND USED CORRECTLY.

INSTALLERS AND POOL OPERATORS MUST READ THESE
WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
PUMP AND SAND FILTER. To reduce the risk of injury, service
should only be done by a qualified pool service professional.

Most states and local codes regulate the construction, installation, and

operation of public pools and spas, and the construction of residential
pools and spas. It is important to comply with these codes, many of which directly
regulate the installation and use of this product. Consult your local building and health
codes for more information. Before attempting installation of service, ensure that all

power to the circuit supplying power to the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Power Center(s)
is disconnected/switched off at the circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. READ AND
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Attention Installer: This Installation and User’s

Guide (“Guide”) contains important information about the installation,
operation and safe use of this product. This Guide should be given to the
owner and/or operator of this equipment.

Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices

and instructions in this Guide. Failure to follow warnings and
instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.
Call [phone] for additional free copies of these instructions. Please refer to
www.pentaircommercial.com for more information related to these products.

CHLORINE GAS BUILDUP CAN OCCUR WITH IMPROPER WIRING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury the IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorinator
Power Center must be installed on and wired to the load side of the
time clock, electronically controlled switch, or relay load side, so that it
will receive power only when the pool pump is on. Otherwise,
dangerous chlorine gas buildup can occur. The IntelliChlor Salt

Chlorinator should never be energized when the pool pump is OFF
and water is not flowing through the unit.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use or operate this
pump and sand filter.

When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must
consider local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed
ratios.

DO NOT increase pump size; this may increase the flow rate through the
system and exceed the maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.

Never operate the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator without proper flow or
water circulation. A build-up of flammable gases will result in
hazardous conditions.

Operate unit with minimum flow of 25 gpm. For high flow
applications, use a bypass loop.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never operate the IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorinator without proper flow
or water circulation. A build-up of flammable gases will result in
hazardous conditions. Operate unit with minimum flow of 25 gpm.
For high flow applications, use a bypass loop.

Only use pipe couplings that meet Schedule 80, maximum pressure
150 psi at 70° F.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION:

Always disconnect power to the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator at the
circuit breaker before servicing. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury to service person, pool users or others due
to electric shock.

IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator is for use with permanently-installed
pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked.
Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot
be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is con­structed so that it is capable of being readily dissembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator Power Centers must be intercon­nected with the pool pump motor power source. This ensures the
IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator and pool pump will switch on and off
together.

When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER.
NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.

Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be hazard­ous. Follow the Chemical Manufacturer's Instructions.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, install IntelliChlor Salt
Chlorinator a minimum of five (5) feet away from the inside wall of
the pool.

Install the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator a minimum of three (3) feet
away from the heater outlet. Allow ample access to the IntelliChlor
control panel buttons and the IntelliChlor Power Center.

A solid copper, bonding conductor not smaller than No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm) should be connected to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment,
metal conduit, and metal piping.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For information about the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety
Act, contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission at (301) 504­7908 or visit www.cpsc.gov.

NOTE: Always turn off all power to the pool pump before installing the
cover or working on any suction outlet.

When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER.
NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.

Do not operate electrolytic cell without proper flow or water
circulation. A build-up of flammable gases will result in
hazardous conditions.

When using IntelliChlor
control 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.

Use of chemicals other than those recommended may be
hazardous. Follow the Chemical Manufacturer’s Instructions.

Install the IntelliChlor unit a minimum of two (2) feet from the
heater outlet.

Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) may be hazardous to
your health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of
the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body
temperature of 98.6° F (37° C.). Effects of hyperthermia include: (1)
Unawareness of impending danger. (2) Failure to perceive heat. (3)
Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. (4) Physical inability to
exit the spa. (5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. (6)
Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. The use of alcohol,
drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
