4. POWER PACK AND CELL INSTALLATION
4.1 Power Pack
7
Installation
The Salt Chlorinator has an Ingress Protection Rating of IP34 enabling it to be installed outdoors.
Regulations require that the Power Pack shall be installed outside the pool zone. The Power Pack
shall be installed according to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
The Power Pack should be installed in a well-ventilated position ideally away from sunlight and rain
to prolong life and at least 1m above ground to prevent run-off water entry.
Ensure that the Power Pack is not stored near chemicals, fertilisers or in a closed unventilated
shed with similar products as the fumes will cause excessive corrosion and damage to the
internals of the Power Pack and may void warranty.
When mounting the Power Pack on a post it is recommended to install a flat panel at least the
same size to act as a waterproof backing plate.
Mount the Power Pack with the Mounting Bracket, Green Plugs and Screws provided.
The Power Pack should be mounted no further than 1.5 metres from the Chlorinator Cell for ease
of operation.
4.2 Cell Electrode Installation
Connect the Cell Housing horizontally in the return line to the pool (use reducing bushes supplied if
40mm PVC pipe) using high pressure PVC glue. The Cell Housing can be mounted vertically but
provision must be made for a gas trap.
The direction of water flow through the Cell Housing is not critical although we do recommend entry from
the closed end of the Cell Housing and exit from the end closest to the Cell Locking Ring. The reason is to
cause less water hammer over time on the cell plates.
Check that the O-ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum-based jelly)
and securely located in the Cell Housing.
Ensure Cell Locking Ring is firmly tightened by hand (DO NOT use a tool to tighten).
Connect the cell lead from the Power Pack to the Cell Cap, ensuring a firm fitment to prevent water
entry.
Plug the Power Pack 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof RCD protected 10amp outlet.
FOR UNITS WITH A TIMER: Plug the pump into the 3 pin AC Socket located at the bottom of the
Power Pack.
