Important Safety Instructions

 

 

 

Please disconnect all AC power supplies during installation. 

 

Do not let children use this product. 

 

To reduce the risk of personal injury, the power pack must be installed and wired to the load side of the 

clock or the load side of the relay. 

 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power pack must be grounded. 

 

All metal parts installed on site, such as railings, ladders, drainage pipes, or other similar hardware located 

within 10 feet (3 meters) of swimming pools, spas, or hot baths, should be connected to the equipment 

grounding bus, American AWG/ Canadian 6 AWG, with a copper conductor not less than 8. 

 

Please consult professional swimming pool service personnel to provide you with correct use suggestions, 

especially material selection, installation suggestions and swimming pool maintenance. Because salt is an 

inherently corrosive substance, CMARCIC cannot ensure that any other equipment in or around the pool will 

not corrode. 

 

Avoid chlorine gas buildup. When the pump is turned off, a buildup of flammable gas will result in a 

hazardous situation. 

 

Add the acid to the water, not the other way around. 

 

 

Introduction 

 

The CMARCIC series salt cells generate chlorine gas by electrolysis and disinfects the swimming pool from salt 

molecules (NaCL) in water. A small amount of charge is applied to a group of titanium plates in the electrolytic cell. 

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is generated. In water, sodium hypochlorite is decomposed into sodium ion (NA+) and 

hypochlorite ion (OCl-). It is a hypochlorite ion that forms hypochlorous acid (HOCl) with hydrogen (H+) ions (from 

water). Hydrochloric acid is an active agent that destroys bacteria and algae and oxidizes organic matter. This form 

of chlorine acts quickly in the pipeline, leaving only a small amount of residue in the pool. In addition, the electrolytic 

bath constantly "impacts" the incoming water and burns any oil, organic matter or other particles that need to be 

oxidized. 

 

Most importantly, this process continuously recovers salt after cleaning the pool, the original molecules are 

reformed and the whole process starts again.  

 

The cell unit has LED screen readings and buttons, as well as temperature sensors and salt level sensors, which can 

produce chlorine gas at a specified output. 

 

If the salinity in the pool water is too low or too high, the red LED will light up and the cell will be turned off until salt 

or water is added to the pool. 

 

The CMARCIC cells has self-cleaning cycle, which can reverse polarity and reduce calcium accumulation. This function 

turns the cell on and off regularly to minimize the accumulation of calcium and scale and further extend the cell life. 

 

The CMARCIC cells includes: 

Flow sensor, temperature sensor, salt sensor. 

 

Mark: The salt reading is /-300 ppm accuracy.
