OPERATION
1. Connect the equipment as explained in installation section.
2. Turn the chlorine production control to maximum and switch
the unit on. If the salt level is correct the output should be close to
100% (at the top of the green or just into the red). When the water
is cold it will read slightly lower than when warmer. If the output is
well over 100% the salinity may be too high. In this case reduce
the output control and take care that it is not accidentally turned
up.
ONLY ADD SALT WHEN YOU CANNOT REACH THE TOP OF
THE GREEN SCALE (i.e. maximum output)
3. Set the Timer to run 6 - 10 hours in the summer and 3 - 6 hours
in the winter. Run the unit for 2 periods every day (early morning
and evening). If possible the evening period should be the
longest period with only 1 - 2 hours in the morning with the
evening period dependant on pool size and the Chlorinator
model. In winter the output can be turned down but reducing the
run time is more economical. Only do this if you are still able to
get adequate filtration.
4. Hard/Soft Setting Switch: The switch should be in the soft
position. This allows the micro-processor to automatically change
direction of the current flow every 6 hours (even if the power is
interrupted). If you have hard water and calcium is building up
then try the hard cycle that changes direction every 4 hours. The
Platinum coating may not last as long on the hard cycle as a
percentage of the wear on this coating is related to the number of
reverse switches.
NOTE: Most Pool Shops will check your salt level for you, please
refer them to these instructions.
All our Self Cleaning chlorinators are controlled by a Micro-Chip
that performs several functions, including the change of current
direction and water sensing. The unit will operate with good
stability on higher salt levels but it is still advisable to run at the
correct level to prevent damage should the control be turned up
by accident.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS ADD FRESH WATER OR SALT TO THE
BODY OF THE POOL AND NEVER DIRECTLY TO THE
SKIMMER BOX.
CORRECT SALINITY: 3000ppm to 3500ppm (0.3%-0.35%)
MORE CHLORINE is produced at the CORRECT salt level.
CELL CLEANING
1. The Cell should not normally require cleaning.
2. In very hard water all calcium may not be removed. A
slight deposit might form on the legs, sensor or sides of the
cell plates. This will NOT effect the operation.
3. If you have abnormal calcium build up then clean it as
below or contact your Pool Shop if problem persists.
4. To clean, unscrew Cell cap and remove head with
electrodes.
5. A solution can be made by mixing 1 part hydrochloric
acid to 5 parts of water. Using 10 parts of water will make a
more gentle solution.
6. When returning the Cell head to the housing ensure that
the O-Ring is clean and properly seated.
7. Check that the junction box screws are tight at least
once a year.
IMPORTANT: EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES SHOULD BE
WORN WHEN CLEANING THE CELL.
