Saltwater Chlorinator | Installation and Operating Instructions

Section 2. General Overview
Congratulations! You have purchased a
Baracuda Saltmaster Saltwater Chlorinator.
Please read the instructions carefully and your
purchase willprovide you with years of trouble
free use.
Your Saltmaster Chlorinator works by
converting some of the salt (sodium chloride) in
your pool into chlorine which starts to destroy
algae and bacteria and sanitises your pool. As
part of the process, the chlorine is converted
back into salt and hence salt is not consumed.
Your chlorinator control has many features
which ensure simple operation of your
chlorinator and filtration system.
The Saltmaster Chlorinator has an internal
electronic time clock designed to operate the
filtration pump up to 2 separate time periods
each day. The control has a non replaceable
backup power source which is designed to
maintain timer setting memory in the event of
an infrequent and short power interruption.
WARNING
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons including young children or infirm
persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience
or knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Please ensure that young children are
supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the pump or chlorinator.
If the supply cord if damaged, to avoid a safety
hazard, it must only be replaced by a suitably
qualified person.
Section 3. Chlorinator
Controller Installation
The Saltmaster Chlorinator controller has
a Rating of IP23 enabling it to be installed
outdoors. Regulations require that the control
is not allowed to be located within 3.5 metres
of thepool water.
The chlorinator controller should be installed
in a well ventilated position ideally away from
direct sunlight. Ensure that the unit is not
located near pool chemicals as fumes may
damage the control.
When installing the controller on a post, first
attach a flat waterproof panel at least 500 mm
wide by 300 mm long or onto a flat wall that
prevents ingress from behind the control. Make
sure the controller is located centrally on the
panel or wall and sits flat.
Plug the 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof
outlet and then plug the pump into the 3 pin
socket in the chlorinator controller.
NOTE: The pump current rating must not
exceed 8 amps.
Section 4. Cell Installation
The chlorinator cell should be the last piece of
equipment installed on the pipe work just prior
to the return to the pool. However if valves are
installed between the chlorinator and the pool
outlet, it is essential that they cannot deadhead
the pump. If the pressure in the cell exceeds
250 kPa and/or the water temperature exceeds
40 degrees Celsius, the cell may fail.
WARNING
Never install the cell before the pump or
heater.
The cell MUST be installed with the barrel
unions underneath (water connections pointing
downwards) and the cell should be horizontal.
The cell is suitable for 40 mm pipe only. Use high
pressure PVC pipe and glue into the barrel union
tails. Make sure that the O-rings are correctly
fitted and the unions are tightened firmly.
