5.2 Operation time
It may be useful to see the operation times for regular maintenance operations. From the
main screen, press both buttons at the same time.
5.3 Electrolysis cell life
The electrolysis cells from our units are designed to reach a lifespan of 10.000 hours.
However, this lifespan is directly related with the quality of the water and specially with the
correct use of the equipment. Please, read the following suggestions in order to guarantee
that your cell reaches the specified lifespan.
a) Salt concentration: It is very important that the water of your swimming pool has a
sufficient salt concentration, otherwise the cell will degrade prematurely if you keep
it working permanently in low salt conditions. It is important to add salt when the unit
shows the “lack of salt” indication.
b) Low temperature operation: Don’t make the system work hard in low water temperature
conditions (under 15C). As an alternative, there are some hibernation products that
keeps the water in good conditions in winter time. If you still want to use it in low water
conditions, please consider to reduce the maximum production value, for example, set it
at 50% instead of 100%.
c) Automatic cleaning cycles: The time between automatic cleaning can be adjusted,
so it can be adapted to the water hardness of your swimming pool. The chlorinator
is configured by default to 8 hours. If your swimming pool water is very hard, you can
decrease this value, so the automatic cleaning will perform more frequently, but the
lifespan of the cell will be reduced. On the other hand, if the water is soft, you can
increase the cleaning time cycle, and the cell’s lifespan will be increased.
d) Deficient cleaning: If you observe calcium deposits between the cell electrodes, clean
it as shown in the maintenance section. Don’t allow to keep the cell working in these
conditions for a long time.
