The Limpido XC2 is a smart electrolysis device designed for pool water treatment, specifically for disinfecting swimming pools by converting salt (NaCl) into hypochlorous acid (HClO), a powerful disinfectant. This process eliminates bacteria and algae before reverting to salt, offering an alternative to traditional chlorine tabs and avoiding the accumulation of cyanuric acid.
The Limpido XC2 operates by separating salt into sodium and chlorine, with the chlorine immediately dissolving to form hypochlorous acid. This disinfectant then breaks down contaminants in the pool water. The device's chlorine production is intelligently adjusted based on several factors, including water temperature, pH, and the volume of the pool being treated.
A key safety feature is that the Limpido XC2 only produces chlorine when the flow meter indicates that water is actively flowing through the cell, preventing hydrogen accumulation and overheating. The production cycle is divided into four phases: normal production (positive polarity), standby, reverse mode production (negative polarity), and another standby phase. This polarity reversal is crucial for preventing electrode scaling, ensuring optimal cell performance and extended service life. The system remembers its last operating state, allowing it to resume production exactly where it left off after filtering restarts, even after a power failure. This guarantees identical normal and reverse production times for effective cell descaling.
The device offers effective and optimized production, which is reduced when an automatic pool cover is closed. It features several production modes, including AUTO, ON, PROG, and SHOCK, to adapt to different pool conditions and treatment needs. The cell itself is a compact and robust single block, equipped with solid titanium plates for durability and minimal maintenance. It also incorporates a self-cleaning mechanism using reversed polarity and enhanced safety through flow detection.
The Limpido XC2 operates on a 230V AC 50/60Hz power supply. Power consumption varies by model: 90W for PF101040, 120W for PF101033, and 150W for PF101031.

Maximum Treated Volume:
Protection Factor:
Recommended Salt Level: 2.5 to 5 g/litre. The device will stop production if the salt level is too high or too low. Water conductivity, which is proportional to salinity, also depends on temperature (2.2% per degree Celsius).
Cell Cleaning: Automatic, using polarity reversal.
Maximum Pressure (cell): 3 bars
Maximum Flow Rate (cell): 22 m³/h
Installation: The control box comes with wall fasteners. The cell is designed for installation on 50mm diameter PVC tubes, preferably downstream of the filtering system, and can be mounted horizontally or vertically. A bypass is recommended for flows exceeding 22m³/hour to control flow through the cell without stopping filtering. The flow detector must be on the same branch as the cell, with no derivations or valves in between. An earth electrode (Pool-Terre device) is included to drain electrostatic charges, preventing leakage current and corrosion.
The power supply cable connects to a standard 230V / 50Hz socket, which must be protected by a 30mA ground fault circuit breaker. The control box should not be connected to a socket coupled to the filtering system. The control box must be installed at least 3.50m from the pool edge or in an accessible in-ground space, sheltered from rain, cleaning sprays, and UVs, and not in a floodable area.
The Limpido XC2 features a multi-function liquid crystal display with a 16-character line and four keys for navigation: "UP/PLUS" (increment values, scroll up), "DOWN/MINUS" (decrease values, scroll down), "VALIDATION / OK" (validate selections), and "RETURN / CANCEL" (go back, cancel updates).
Start-up:
Operation Modes:
System Status and Messages: The default screen displays water temperature and the configured electrolysis mode. Symbols indicate water flow detection, cover closed status, positive/negative chlorine production, or paused production. Messages alert users to potential anomalies, such as "Wait For Flow" (no flow detected), "Error temp" (water temperature measurement error), "Low salt" (current too weak/not enough salt), "Too much salt" (current too strong/too much salt), and "Increase Filtr" (insufficient filtering time detected).
Low Temperature (Wintering): In PROG and AUTO modes, production stops when water temperature falls below the minimum configured temperature (default 15°C), displaying a "Temperature low" symbol. This automatic wintering mode is not active in SHOCK or ON modes.
Automatic Cover Integration: If connected to an automatic cover, the Limpido XC2 detects when the cover is closed. In PROG mode, production time uses the "Cover cycle" setting. In AUTO mode, calculated production time is divided by 4. This feature reduces chlorine accumulation risks.
Supervisor Menu: This menu provides advanced functions for installers or maintenance personnel. Access requires a specific power-off/power-on sequence while holding the "VALIDATION / OK" key. Supervisor mode offers additional status screens, including "Salt level" (informational calculation based on conductivity) and "PROD 000h30" (estimate of operating hours for chlorine production). It also allows access to general settings like "Option: No" (for device configuration, should remain "No"), "Reset to zero" (resets all settings to default), and "Config enable" (prevents user access to configurations).
Adding Salt: When the salt level drops below 2.5 g/l, salt must be added. The manual provides a table for calculating the amount of salt needed (in kg) to reach 4 g/l based on pool volume and current salt level. Using specially treated salt with stabilisers is recommended.
Wintering: During winter, treatment frequency can be significantly lowered (e.g., 8-hour filtering every 15 days). Continuous monitoring of salt levels is crucial to protect the cell from damage due to insufficient salt (<2 g/l). For cold water operation (below 18°C) with a cover, increasing the salt level to 5 g/l might be necessary.
Cell Cleaning: If chlorine production remains low despite correct salt levels, the cell should be inspected for scale deposits. To clean, one end of the cell is capped, and diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl at 10%) is poured in from the other end. The acid should be left to act for several hours. A critical safety instruction is to always pour acid into water, never water into acid, when diluting.
