OPERATION
The Aqua Rite
®
 is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanita-
tion.  The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the
pool water.  These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted.  The
Aqua Rite automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine
which kills bacteria and algae in the pool.   Chlorine will revert back to sodium
chloride after killing bacteria.  These reactions will continuously recycle virtually
eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool.   The only time you
may need to add more salt to the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing,
draining, or splashing (not evaporation).
The Aqua Rite is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swim-
ming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial
pools up to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters).  Check local codes for other restrictions.
The actual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to
bather load, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.
Bromine
The system can also be used to produce bromine instead of chlorine.  Call Goldline
(888-921-7665) for information regarding bromine generation.
Water Chemistry
The table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by the National Spa
and Pool Institute (NSPI).  The only special requirements for the Aqua Rite are the
salt level 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.  Your Authorized Aqua Rite Dealer (AARD) or most pool stores can
provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry.  Be
sure to tell the pool store that you are using an Aqua Rite
 
chlorine generator.
