Salt Water Chlorinator Installation Overview:

Installing a salt water chlorinator is an interesting DIY project which just requires a bit of elbow grease and familiarity with some basic tools. 

For NEW salt water chlorinator installations: 

• Raise the salt levels in your pool to the recommended levels and allow to circulate for at least 8 hours. Don’t forget to balance your water. 
• Turn off all power to your pool and close off any valves after your pump.
• Measure off area for salt cell installation with included template. 
• Measure again. 
• With a hand saw, cut off area, smooth the edges with sandpaper and attach the included unions and plumbing accessories. 
• Mount the power box / control box on the wall and attach all of the wires and leads as per the user manual. 
• Open up all the valves and turn on the pump to allow water to enter the cell. Turn on your power box / control box and apply any settings as required.
