Q: How much can I save?
A:
The average customer has been able to trim their
pump runtime from 10-14 hours per day down to
2-4 hours daily. This is an average of $120 a
month in energy savings alone! When you
subtract your chlorine and algaecide
expenditures each month from your operation
costs this can save you as much as $1500-2500
each year.
Q:
Will I be able to save any money with the
SolarChlor even though I already have an inline
salt generator?
A: Sure! Eliminate
those costly algaecide purchases and reduce you
energy consumption at the same time. Put the
energy savings back into your pocket!
Q:
How many energy
dollars are spent on an inline generator system?
A: In order for the
inline generators to work at all, the pump has
to be running. When you combine the cost of
operating the pump and the cost of powering the
inline generator, you can easily spend upwards
of $210 each month in energy consumption alone!
Q: Is it safe to swim
while the unit is in the pool?
A: Yes, it
is safe to swim while the unit is in the pool.
It is, however, not recommended to be used as a
flotation device.
Q:
What happens when it rains or if there is a bad week of weather?
A: As with any
chlorination device, it is recommended that you
shock your pool on a regular basis, after a rain
or bad weather. You
can also fill the bottom bowl
assembly with salt to give your pool an added
boost.
Q: Is it
alright to have the
unit in the pool when it rains?
A: Yes, the
SolarChlor unit is a completely sealed and
weather resistant system.
Q: Is there any risk of
electrical shock from the unit?
A: No. SolarChlor produces a low voltage,
non-harmful DC power that will not cause or
transmit an electrical shock hazard.
Q: Will rain or water
build up on the solar panel effect output?
A: No. Water on
the panel will not effect the output. However,
it is recommended that you keep the panel clean
as a dirty panel will effect the
output.
Q: What is the Warranty?
A: SolarChlor
comes with a 3 yr. limited warranty.
Q.
How long do the cell plates last?
A: The cell plates never have to be replaced and
will last as long as the unit will.
Q:
How often do I have to clean the cell plates?
A: The cell plates self-clean every 4 hours. You
should never have to clean them.
Q: How does SolarChlor
benchmark against other salt systems?
A: SolarChlor
is about 1/3 of the price compared to other
units. When you factor in energy costs and
installation, SolarChlor is a far
better deal, year in – year out.
Q: Do I have to change any
of my pool equipment?
A: No. There are no changes needed to your existing
equipment. For salt water applications, simply add salt to the swimming pool,
place in the SolarChlor unit and you are ready.
In fresh water applications, add salt to the
bowl assembly.
Q: Will cold weather
effect the unit?
A: No. However,
it is strongly recommended that the unit be
removed when freezing conditions are expected.
Q:
Do I still need other chemicals for my pool and
what kind of salt do I need for it to work?
A: The kind of salt to use would be 99.6 % Salt, Sodium Chloride.
It is not recommended that you use magnesium or
potassium based salts. It is necessary
to keep the pool water balanced and shock the
pool weekly when water temperatures are above 70
degrees. To maintain a healthy swim environment,
we recommend that you shock your pool weekly or
as often as needed.
Q:
What does my salt level need to be in my pool?
A: The ideal salt level
for salt water swimming pools can range from
3000 ppm- 4,500 ppm. The level
can be adjusted higher or lower to accommodate
your specific application.
Q:
How do I use SaltShock? In the SolarChlor unit
or in the pool?
A: SaltShock is
specially formulated to destroy impurities in
all salt water pools and is recommended to be used as a weekly shock
or as needed for all salt water generators. This
product should
be broadcasted out over the pool
and should never be put into the SolarChlor unit.
SaltShock in not required as part of the
SolarChlor system, but is recommended for all
salt water pools.
Q:
How much will I save?
A: The SolarChlor consumes no energy to produce
chlorine and will not only save you in chemical
dollars, but the circulation pump does not have
to run to dispense chlorine or algae
inhibiting ions. The chlorine and algaecide
savings, coupled with the reduced runtime on
your pump could save you hundreds or even
thousands a yr.
Q:
What kind of salt should be used
with SolarChlor?
A:
99.6%
salt is what is recommended. When using the bowl
assembly, salt pellets or salt crystals can be
use; really any salt will do!
Q:
My pool is 20,000 gallons. Will I
still benefit?
A:
Yes.
Even though the SolarChlorXT is recommended up
to 15, 000 in a saltwater pool, you will still
enjoy the benefits that SolarChlor has to offer
and may have to supplement with chlorine tablets
from time to time.

unit?
A: 12” x 12” x 14”
/ ( 30 cm. x 30 cm. x 36 cm. )
Q: What is the weight of
the unit?
A: 4.4 lbs. / (4 kg.)
