service department at 888-921-7665, Monday through Friday,

How much
salt does the system require? The Aqua Trol® works best with
approximately 3200 ppm salt, which is roughly the equivalent
to a teaspoon per gallon. However, the Aqua Trol will
operate with salt levels anywhere from 2700 ppm to 3400 ppm.
Does the water
taste salty?
Generally you should not be able to taste any salt in the
pool because the level of salt in the water is so low,
however some people with sensitive palates might detect a
small amount of salt.
Why use the
Aqua Trol over traditional chlorine?
Traditional chlorine ties up with wastes in the water
creating what are called chloramines. The Aqua Trol®
continuously oxidizes the chloramines and creates "Free
Chlorine". Chloramines are what cause common side affects
associated with chlorine such as irritation to eyes and
skin, bleaching of bathing suits, and that awful chlorine
smell. Furthermore you will no longer have to buy, mix or
store chlorine, which saves time, money and keeps you from
direct contact with a potentially harmful chemical.
Can I
install the Aqua Trol myself?
The Aqua Trol is the perfect choice for people who like to
"do things themselves", and can be installed in less than 30
minutes. If you feel you would rather have a professional
install it--consult with a
Goldline Authorized Dealer
Do I have to
use the pump timer? Can I run my pump 24 hours a day?
The Aqua Trol will not generate chlorine if when the pump
timer is off. If you want to run the pump continuously,
either pull out all the trippers on the timer or else put
the manual switch on the timer (small button near the center
of the timer) into the "1" position.
Can I use
the Aqua Trol for my in-ground pool?
The Aqua Trol® chlorinator is specifically
designed for above ground pools and it is not approved for
nor recommended for use with any in-ground pool. If you have
a smaller in-ground pool, the Aqua Rite electronic
chlorinator will work fine, and actually cut its workload
down considerably.
Will the
Aqua Trol work on a portable spa?
The Aqua Trol® chlorinator is specifically
designed for above-ground pools only, and will not work with
portable spas or hot tubs. We are currently in the process
of designing such a system so please check back
periodically.
What
kind of maintenance do I have to do with this system?
Continue to test the chlorine level of the pool on a weekly
basis. Adjust the dial of the Aqua Trol®
chlorinator to adjust more or less chlorine. If there has
been a large number of swimmers in the pool or the pool
water is cloudy, you can put the Aqua Trol®
chlorinator into "Super Chlorinate" mode where it will
automatically generate the maximum amount of chlorine for 24
hours. The Turbo Cell should be inspected and cleaned if
necessary every three months or when starting up the system.

What kind
of salt do I use and where can I get it?
Salt is now available at many pool stores. It is the same
salt commonly found at home improvement centers nationwide
for use with home water conditioners. For more information

How do I
figure out how many gallons of water are in my pool?
Pools very in size and shape. Here are a
few helpful equations
that give you the approximate gallons of water in your pool.
What is the
warranty and how do I get warranty service?
The Aqua Trol® chlorinator is backed by the best
warranty in the industry. For warranty service, see your
Aqua Trol dealer or simply call the Goldline technical
service department at 888-921-7665, Monday through Friday,
