INTRODUCTION
Congratulations,
you have wisely purchased one of the most technologically
advanced salt water chlorinators in the world. The benefits of doing so will be evident
for many years to come.
AquaPower’s research and development team is committed to producing the finest
chlorination systems and being recognized world wide as the leaders in salt
chlorination technology.
Maximum customer satisfaction is achieved if the purchaser knows they have installed
the very best product for their pool and family. We recognize this and therefore
manufacture only the highest quality chlorine generating systems possible using the
most innovative and unique technology.
Thank-you once again for choosing Aquapower-Plus, we trust you will be very happy.
Your Aquapower-Plus chlorinator will eliminate the need to store dangerous quantities
of chlorine, daily manual chlorine dosing and the risks associated with these practices.
It is automatic, clean, safe and economical and for these reasons, salt chlorination as
a method for treating pool water is increasing worldwide.
Mild salt water is gentle on eyes and skin and is said to benefit asthma sufferers and
those people who find conventional chlorinated pools irritating. The salinity of seawater
is approx. 35,000ppm or 3.5%, while Aquapower-plus chlorinators require only 2,500
ppm. The human body has a salinity of approx. 4500 to 6000 ppm and fresh water is
zero. It is the similarity between the salinity of the human body and that of a salt pool
that make for a silky luxurious swimming experience.
The chlorinator comprises two basic components, the power supply and cell (Elec-
trode). It is within the cell that the electrolytic reactions occur. Chloride ions in the water
are converted into chlorine gas, this dissolves immediately into the water to ultimately
form sodium hypochlorite, (liquid chlorine). The chlorine oxidizes bacteria, algae and
other harmful matter in the pool water and through this process reverts back into avail-
able chloride ions. The major by-product of the reaction in the cell is the liberation of
Hydrogen gas at the cathode. This explains the small bubbles often seen passing out
of the pool returns.
No salt is lost through this process or as a result of evaporation. The necessity to top
off the salt level approx. twice per year is because of dilution through events such as
backwash and splashing out, or a pool or spa leak. If you are using abnormally large
amounts of salt check your pool or spa for a leak.
All Aquapower-Plus models contain digital time clocks, the four ON/OFF periods avail-
able are easily programmed for fully automatic operation of your pump & chlorinator.
All models have a built in back up power system that will hold all your
programmed information for at least seven days. This suits applications where
the main power is switched off every day for a number of hours.
Our units do not contain batteries.
