4. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Semi-automatic
Select this mode only if you have a temperature probe kit (optional). If you do not have
one, the equipment will not operate correctly in the semi-automatic mode.
This work mode enables you to determine the daily hours of operation of the salt water
chlorinator based on the volume in m3 of the pool and the water temperature. Once they
have been reached, the chlorinator will stop although the filtering pump will continue to
operate.
Bear in mind that the equipment makes an approximate calculation of chlorine which it has
to produce, based on two known parameters. However, other factors are not considered,
such as the consumption of chlorine caused by the number of bathers per day.
4.3.3 Cleaning
The equipment includes an automatic cleaning system, based on reversing polarity in the
electrolysis cell. These cleaning cycles are performed regularly. The time between cleaning
(in hours) can be adjusted depending on the water hardness of your swimming pool.
It is possible to select cleaning intervals from 1 to 8 hours.
Note: You should select the longest reversing time possible and only reduce it if scaling be-
comes a problem. Short reversing times will effectively clean the cell, but reduce the work-
ing life. If scaling of the cell occurs, the optimal solution is to reduce the calcium hardness
of the pool water and leave the reversing time at 8 hours.
4.3.4 Volume (of the swimming pool)
Note: Ignore this option unless you are using the optional temperature probe in semi-au-
to mode.
Configure the volume of your swimming pool in m3, if the equipment is to work in semi-au-
tomatic mode. The daily chlorination time will be calculated based on this parameter and
the water temperature. Whenever the value is changed, on exiting the menu the screen will
display the minimum filtering time the pump should work.
If at the end of the day, the filtering pump operates for less time than stipulated by the
equipment for an optimum level of chlorine in the water, the equipment will display a warn-
ing message.
4.3.5 Location of the swimming pool
Note: Ignore this option unless you are using the optional temperature probe in semi-au-
to mode.
The swimming pool may be installed outdoors or indoors. Function changes between
INDOOR and OUTDOOR when the OK key is pressed. With this function, the equipment
automatically reduces production to ½ if it is an indoor pool to avoid excess chlorine.
