GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use bromine based products in the pool. Use of bromine will void the
warranty on your chlorine cell.
• It is the pool owner's responsibility to ensure water is regularly tested and balanced.
Your local pool professional can advise you on appropriate testing frequency and
balance criteria in your area.
• Where calcium hardness of the pool / spa water exceeds 200ppm, the water must
be balanced as per the Langlier Index to ensure water is not scale forming. Consult
you local pool professional for advise.
• Do not assume the chlorinator is faulty if a chlorine test reveals a low free chlorine
level. There are many factors that relate to chlorine demand in the water. Refer to
the troubleshooting guide in this manual for more information
• Regular manual 'super chlorination' or 'shock dosing' may be required in pools
where chlorine demand or bather load is high.
• Manual addition of liquid chlorine may be required to supplement chlorine
requirement during peak usage periods.
• Test salt level before calculating your salt addition requirements, even on a new
installation – especially where liquid chlorine had been used previously.
• Free chlorine levels above 4.0ppm may void manufacturer warranties on your
equipment.
• Unnecessarily high salt levels may contribute to corrosion of pool and spa
equipment.
• Pool Lab recommend the use of Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) at a concentration
of between 50-80 ppm for outdoor pools to help protect chlorine in the water
from destruction by sun light
ELECTROLYTIC CELL PRECAUTIONS
• It is a condition of the warranty that the pool owner ensure that the cell is
inspected and maintained in accordance with the directions in this manual.
• The chlorine cell is generally self cleaning, but certain water conditions can inhibit
the effectiveness of this function. Therefore the cell should be visually inspected on
a regular basis to ensure it is not fouled with debris or accumulating calcium. Refer
to instructions on cleaning the cell in this manual if required.
• If calcium scale is allowed to build up on the electrode plates to the point where the
calcium bridges the gap between the plates, this can permanently damage the
electrode and will void the electrode warranty.
• If you have water conditions that cause calcium to build up in the chlorine cell, then
the cell MUST be cleaned on a regular basis as per the instructions in this manual.
As a general rule, if the cell requires more than 15 minutes to clean, then it must be
cleaned more regularly.
• It is the pool owner's responsibility to ensure all materials in contact with the
pool or spa water are compatible with and intended for use with an
electrolytic salt chlorinator.
