Instructions for a 120V Polaris Autoclear Salt Chlorinator

If you are sick of an over-chlorinated swimming pool, the remedy is installing an automated chlorinator, such as a Polaris Autoclear Chlorniator. This device is mounted to the side of your pool and uses an internal sensor to measure chlorine levels. When it decides the levels are too low it releases chlorine into the water. These devices can be set up quickly even if you don't know much about electronic devices.
