Adding chemical products :
Always stop the device before adding chemical products directly to the pool. Wait for
the chemical products to dissolve before turning the salt chlorinator on again.
Winter months :
If the filtration of the pool is maintained during the winter months, we recommend turn-
ing the chlorinator off when the temperature falls below 15°C.
Encrusted electrode :
The electrode must have a clean appearance without limescale encrustations. If need
be, de-scale the electrode by placing it in a solution containing 80% water and 20%
chlorhydric acid. Then check why the electrode got encrusted :
* salt concentration too low
* polarity inversion time is too long
* electrode wearing out (see following paragraph)
* unit inversion fault
Checking the state of the electrode :
The voltage can be measured at both terminals of the electrode ; It must be approxi-
mately 9 volts. Measure it in the DC position, with a salt content of 4 g/litre, a water
temperature of more than 15°C and an electrode without calcareous encrustation.
If the voltage is more than 10.5 Volts,
then the electrode is worn out and should
be replaced quickly.
Reminder: each kind of electrode receives a specific current indicated on the left-hand
sticker.
example : for a salt chlorinator 60 : 8.5 amperes.
A current of more than one ampere less than that indicated signifies a problem either
with the salt electrode itself, the water temperature or limescale encrustation.
Cleaning the pool drainage filter :
Stop the chlorinator during any handling of the filter's six-way valve : cleaning,
rinsing, draining, etc...
