Operating Instructions
It is important to spend a few minutes a week to monitor the water balance, clean
the unit, and to learn the trends. After a couple of months of experience, you
should have a good idea about how little chlorine or oxidizer, is required, how
much floating time does the job, the best way and frequency to clean the
electrodes, etc.
The floatron works well with trace chlorine, or any other oxidizer of your choice.

Algaecides, conditioners, clarifies, etc., etc., are unnecessary. Higher chlorine
levels may be required with an increase in water temperature, increased
swimmer load, rainfall, or new water added. If using liquid chlorine, add at or a

The mineral electrode is sacrificial and design to slowly disintegrate. After an
average of 12 - 24 months, depending on conditions, the electrode will wear
away and require replacement. You will know this when it is 'pencil thin', or about
1/4 inch at its thinnest point. To remove the spent electrode:
1. Remove screen and endcap, and clean parts.
2. While compressing spring el one han , rotate center electrode
counterclockwise. If necessary, use pliers for leverage.

3. Continue to unthread until free.
The procedure for installing the electrode is in reverse order, and can be found
under 'INITIAL ASSEMBLY
'.
NOTE: Always keep the same end of the electrode to the floater. Do not swap
ends when removing and replacing your electrode.
