HOW YOUR CLEARWATER CHLORINATOR WORKS

How your Clearwater Chlorinator Works
Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chloride.
When your Clearwater LM2 is installed, a measured quantity of salt is dissolved in the
pool water to make it slightly salty. As part of the daily filtration cycle, the pool water
is passed through the Clearwater electrolysis cell to produce chlorine which is dis-
solved instantly into the water.
In simple, non-technical terms, the chlorine instantly starts to destroy bacteria, viruses
and algae, and in doing this reverts back to dissolved salt. This cycle continues with
more new chlorine being produced from the salt water in the electrolytic cell, sanitiz-
ing the pool, and changing once more back to dissolved salt.
Every day, when the Clearwater unit and the filtration system are switched on, dust
and debris are trapped by the pool filter and the Clearwater sanitizes the water to
make it safe and sparkling clean.
IMPORTANT
To ensure your Clearwater LM2 works at maximum efficiency, regularly check and
maintain the chemistry of your pool.
Water Chemistry Readings
Maintain daily levels as determined by testing kit
NOTE: Check expiry date of the test kit as test results may be inaccurate if used after that date.
Free available chlorine: 1.0 - 3.0 ppm
pH: 7.2 – 7.6
Total Alkalinity: 100 – 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 200 – 300 ppm
Stabilizer (Cyanuric acid): 30 – 100 ppm (NOTE: Indoor pools
do not require chlorine stabilizer)
Salt Concentration: 4000 ppm
