FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE & LIFE OF YOUR
SALT WATER CHLORINATOR
> PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR CHLORINATOR.
•
MAINTAIN THE RECOMMENDED SALT LEVELS:
SALT LEVELS: 3,000 – 36,000ppm
> Run chlorinator at the salt levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure optimum
sanitizer output and cell life.
> Operating this device at low salt levels will damage the cell and reduce its life.
> The chlorinator will not run at full output and the control panel will display red LED indicator warnings
when the salt levels are low.
> If no action is taken to rectify the salt levels, damage to the cell may result which will not be covered
under warranty.
•
MONITOR & MAINTAIN YOUR CHLORINATOR CELL:
> To keep your salt water chlorinator in the best possible condition, regular monitoring of the electrolytic
cell is recommended. The ‘Cell’ is the clear plastic housing containing the metal plates.
> During the chlorination process a white powdery Calcium scale may naturally build up on the titanium
plates in the cell. Monitor the cell to prevent excessive scale build up. Excessive scale build-up will
cause damage to your cell, and dramatically reduce its efficiency and lifespan.
> The control panel displays red LED indicator warnings when the cell requires cleaning.
> If Calcium scale builds up please clean the cell, following the cleaning instructions provided on page 18.
> NEVER: Use concentrated acid to clean your cell.
> NEVER: Leave cell in cleaning solution for extended periods of time
> NEVER: Use metal implements, scourers or brushes to clean your cell.
•
BALANCED POOL WATER CHEMISTRY:
> Salt levels MUST be maintained at 3,000 – 36,000ppm for optimum performance and lifespan.
> Calcium Hardness levels MUST be kept to the ideal range of 200ppm - 275ppm (for concrete and
tiled pools) and 100-225ppm (for inert surfaces) to prevent excessive scale build up and damage to
equipment.
> pH levels MUST be kept between 7.2 and 7.6 to prevent damage to equipment and pool surfaces and
to obtain optimum sanitizer effectiveness.
> Total alkalinity and stabilizer levels must also be kept in an ideal range. Please refer to the day to day
operation section on page 18 for more information.
