CAT 2000 AUTOMATED CONTROLLER
OWNER'S MANUAL INSTALLATION OPERATION MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS
FOREWORD Congratulations on your wise investment. The product you have selected from the CAT 2000 line of automated pool & spa controllers should provide you with substantially reduced chemical maintenance, improved compliance with Health Department operating standards, chemical cost savings, and many years of reliable operation. All CAT controllers incorporate state of the art microprocessor-based design technology to provide sophisticated control functions at an affordable price. Although CAT controllers are relatively simple to install, please take the time to read this entire manual, compare package contents with the parts list, and gather all tools required before beginning installation. Improper installation may void the warranty and create unnecessary hazards. Properly preparing for installation will also reduce facility down-time. For the purposes of this manual, it is presupposed that the installer is familiar with the physical characteristics of the pool or spa to be automated. As is the case when installing any filtration system component, all recirculating pumps, heaters, etc. need to be turned off prior to installation of the controller. If the filtration system is located below water level, additionally adjust all valves required to eliminate pressure from the system. Physically, installation of a CAT controller is no more challenging than installation of a chemical feeder. Any swimming pool contractor or maintenance engineer should have the tools and knowledge to perform the installation. Our technical support line can also be used to answer any questions pertaining to controller installation. Remember that your new CAT controller is not a substitute for performing and recording manual water testing in conformance with your state or local health department regulations. Never operate a water chemistry controller without a flow sensor, interlock or other means of ensuring that chemicals will not be fed without proper filtration system recirculation. Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the world of chemical automation. Please complete and return your warranty registration card today.

SECTION 1. CHEMICAL AUTOMATION WITH THE CAT 2000 A pool operator typically checks and adjusts pool or spa water chemistry hourly at best. The CAT 2000 continuously monitors pH and sanitizer activity, constantly adjusting the feeding of chemicals on a basis proportional to the demand. The results include elimination of "human error", accurate and reliable maintenance of chemical levels twenty-four hours a day, compliance with Health Department chemistry standards, reduced burden on operating staff, and a reduction of chemical usage and costs. The following graph (Illustration 1.) compares typical chlorine levels when chemistry is adjusted manually versus automatically with the CAT 2000 controller.

SECTION 2. COMPONENTS OF A CAT 2000 AUTOMATED SYSTEM The following is a description of the components incorporated in a typical CAT 2000 controller system: The Professional-Series pH Sensor samples water from the filtration system and sends signals to the controller indicating the acidity of the water. The ideal pH range for pools and spas is 7.4 - 7.6. The CAT 2000 controlle
