CAUTIONS
Please note, the total working hours for the T-Cell should be 8
hours or less per day. If you are using a variable speed pump for
24 hours a day be sure to adjust the chlorine output to 25-30%. If
the pump is only running 10 hours per day adjust the chlorine
output between 60-80%.
You can use this calculation to calculate the appropriate chlorine
output for your pool, suggest at 6 hours per day.
Pump running 24 hours/day *25% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 25%).
Pump running 20 hours/day *30% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 30%).
Pump running 15 hours/day *40 (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 40%).
Pump running 12 hours/day *50% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 50%).
Pump running 8 hours/day *75% (Chlorine Output) = 6hr (cell run time per day at 75%).
Start the VS pump on a low speed and kick the speed up until
the salt system works.

OPERATION
The Excelpool System is an automatic chlorine generation system
for pool & spa sanitation. The operation requires a low
concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water at levels
low enough that it normally cannot be tasted. Excelpool System
automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free
chlorine, which kills bacteria and algae in the pool through a
process called electrolysis.
Excelpool System is designed to handle the purification needs of
the average residential swimming pool up to 40,000 gallons
(150,000 liters). The actual amount of chlorination required to
properly sanitize a pool varies depending upon bather load,
rainfall, air temperature, water temperature, pool’s exposure to
sunlight, pool’s surface, and cleanliness.
Note: It is not recommended using the Excelpool System to
generate Bromine. If your pool has natural stone as coping or
decking, please check with a stone installation specialist for the
maintenance of the stone before installing the Excelpool System.
WATER CHEMISTRY
As with any pool, it is important that you maintain proper water
chemistry of the pool water, including pH, alkaline content, and
calcium levels. The only special requirement for Excelpool
System is to maintain proper levels of salt and stabilizer. It is
important to maintain these levels in order to prevent corrosion or
scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test your
water periodically. It is recommended that pool water be
professionally tested a minimum of twice per season. Your local
pool store can provide you with the chemicals and procedures to
adjust the water chemistry. Be sure to tell the pool store that you
are using a salt chlorine generator.

IDEAL CHEMICAL LEVELS
Salt 3200 to 4000 ppm
Free chlorine 1.0 to 3.0 ppm
pH 7.2 to 7.6
Cyanuric Acid
(Stabilizer) 50 to 100 ppm
Total Alkalinity 80 to 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 200 to 400 ppm
Metals 0 ppm
Saturation Index -.2 to .2 (0 best)
SATURATION INDEX
The saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in
the water and is an indicator of the pool water "balance". Your
water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2.If the Si is below -0.2,
the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolved into
the water. If the Si is above+0.2, scaling and staining will occur.
Use the chart below to determine the saturation index.
Si = pH + Ti + Ci + Ai - 12.1

How to use: Measure pool pH, temperature, calcium hardness,
and total alkalinity. Use the chart above to determine Ti, Ci,and Ai
from your measurements. Insert values of pH, Ti, Ci and Ai into the
above equation. If Si equals .2 or more, scaling andstaining may
occur. If Si equals -.2 or less corrosion or irritation may occur.
SALT LEVEL
Use the chart below to determine the amount of salt needs to
be added to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations
below to determine the size of your pool.

• The ideal salt level is between 3200-4000 ppm (parts per
million) with 3600 ppm being the optimal level. Calculate the
number of gallons in the pool and add salt according to the
chart on page 10.
• A LOW salt level will reduce the efficiency of the Excelpool
System and result in low chlorine production.
• Excessively HIGH salt levels will cause the Excelpool
System to shut down, making pool water unsafe for bathers.
LOW salt levels can cause the Excelpool System not to
operate efficiently, causing the same.
TYPE OF SALT TO USE
It is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) that is 99%
pure. This is common food quality or water softener salt
available in 40-80 lb/bag at your local store. It is also
acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets; however it will
take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt with
more than 1% yellow prussiate of soda, salt with more than 1%
of anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

• IN GROUND POOLS: Turn the filter pump on and add
the salt directly into the pool at the shallow end.
• ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITH MAIN DRAINS: Add
directly in front of the return jet to pool. Run the filter pump
for 24 hours with the suction coming from the main drain
(use the pool vacuum if there is no main drain) to allow the
salt to evenly disperse throughout the pool.
•ABOVE GROUND POOLS WITHOUT MAIN DRAINS:
Add directly into the pool. Brush the salt to speed up the
dissolving process - do not allow the salt to sit in a pile on
the bottom of the pool.
ON ANY POOL, DO NOT ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE
SKIMMERS OR DIRECTLY ONTO THE MAIN DRAIN. THIS
WILL SHUT DOWN OR SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE CELL
DUE TO HIGH SALT CONCENTRATION AND REDUCED FLOW
TO THE PUMP.
If added incorrectly, immediately turn off Excelpool System for
24 hours with the pump and filter operating This will help to
evenly distribute the salt. The salt display may take 24 hours to
respond to the change in salt concentration.
SALT DOES NOT EVAPORATE FROM POOL
The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain
the pool and refill with fresh water.
