Do you have a question about the POOLSTYLE SSCmini and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

This document describes the Pool Style SSCmini Salt Chlorinator, a device designed for pool water treatment.

Function Description

The SSCmini Salt Chlorinator is an automated system for producing chlorine from salt dissolved in pool water. It aims to maintain proper chemical balance in the pool, ensuring a safe and clean swimming environment. The system operates by passing saltwater through an electrolytic cell, which generates chlorine. It is designed to work in conjunction with the pool's filtration pump, ensuring that chlorine is produced only when water is flowing through the system. The control unit manages the chlorine production based on user-defined settings and monitors various parameters to ensure optimal operation.

Important Technical Specifications

The SSCmini Salt Chlorinator operates on a power supply of 230V, 50/60Hz. It boasts a maximum flow rate of 25 m³/h and a maximum chlorine output of 20 g/h. The maximum working pressure for the system is 2.5 bar (36.3 psi). The inlet/outlet connections are 50 mm 1½" BSP and 60 mm 2" BSP. The recommended salt level for optimal performance is 3000 ppm. The device is designed to operate within a temperature range of 10 to 45 °C and is suitable for pools with a maximum volume of 90 m³.

For recommended water chemistry, the pH should be maintained between 7.2 and 7.8. Salt levels should be around 3000 ppm. Water hardness is recommended to be between 200 and 350 ppm. Stabilizer levels should be kept between 50 and 80 ppm, while alkalinity should be between 60 and 120 ppm. Free chlorine levels should be maintained between 1 and 3 ppm.

Usage Features

The SSCmini features a control panel with LED indicators and buttons for easy operation. LED Indicators:

  • Low cell life: Indicates that the electrolytic cell has reached the end of its expected lifespan and needs replacement.
  • No Flow: Lights up when there is no water flow through the cell.
  • General alarm: Signals a general issue, prompting the user to refer to the troubleshooting section.
  • Stand-by mode: Shows that the unit is not producing chlorine.
  • Normal operation: Indicates that the unit is actively producing chlorine.
  • Superchlorination: Illuminates when the unit is producing chlorine continuously for 24 hours.
  • Workschedule (production): A series of LEDs, where each LED represents 6 minutes of chlorine production. For example, 3 LEDs indicate 18 minutes, and 4 LEDs indicate 24 minutes of production.

Buttons:

  • Superchlorination: Activates continuous 24-hour chlorine production.
  • Work schedule control: Allows users to increase (+) or decrease (-) the chlorine production time, which is reflected by the workschedule LEDs.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the SSCmini. Cell Cleaning: The electrolytic cell should be checked periodically for excessive scaling, especially in areas with hard water. To clean the cell:

  1. Disconnect the control unit from the power supply.
  2. Remove the cell from its housing after draining the pipeline connected to the salt chlorinator.
  3. Rinse the cell with fresh water to remove any debris or particles.
  4. Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing 1 part muriatic acid with 4 parts fresh water in a bucket. Always add acid to water, never the other way around.
  5. Introduce the cell into this solution. Repeat the process after rinsing with fresh water. Avoid scrubbing the cell with a metal brush.
  6. Rinse the cell with fresh water and reassemble it.
  7. Before restarting the cell, ensure its housing is filled with water.

Water Hardness Management: Very high water hardness can lead to excessive scaling. To prevent this, it is recommended to drain some pool water and refill with softened water.

Chemical Balance: Maintaining the chemical balance of the pool water within the recommended ranges (as specified in the technical data) is mandatory. Failure to do so can harm the cell's lifetime, inactivate chlorine effectiveness, and deteriorate pool components, potentially voiding the warranty.

Backwashing: When backwashing the filter, disconnect the control unit to prevent chlorine production without proper evacuation from the cell housing. This practice should also be followed when the valve is in recirculation and waste positions.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as low chlorine production/effectiveness and lack of flow. It lists possible causes and corresponding solutions, including checking electrical connections, adjusting pH, cleaning the cell, adding salt, draining/refilling water, turning on the heater, checking valve positions, inspecting the pump, cleaning the filter, and checking for air inlets. The display indicators also provide visual cues for issues like incorrect power input, cable/cell problems, low/high salt levels, and out-of-range water temperature, each with a suggested solution.
