REDOX System

 

 

 

5.  If the green 

'

Within Range

(

 LED indicator is not achieved during your daily filtration cycle, you need to either 

increase the filtration time or follow the trouble shooting procedures on page 16. 

 

6.  Whilst the pump is off there will be no flow and the red 

'

No Flow

(

 LED will be displayed. This is normal, in this 

state the ORP REDOX LED may indicate

7.  The green

(

 LED indicator will only operate when the system is actually producing sanitiser. 

 

8.  If the red 

'

Add Salt

(

 LED indicator is displayed you need to top up your salt level to at least 4,500ppm. The 

'

Add Salt

(

 indicator is also affected by water temperature, as is the unit output. The EcoSalt REDOX is 

designed for optimum operation with 20-30

!

C water temperature. If water temperature is less than 20

.

C you 

may require additional salt to turn off the ADD SALT Indicator. 

 

9. 

What is ORP? 

EcoSalt REDOX uses an ORP Probe to determine whether or not chlorine needs to be produced to sanitise the 
pool. ORP levels are measured in millivolts (mV). The ORP Probe does not measure the actual chlorine level of 
your pool, it measures the effectiveness of the chlorine to oxidise and kill biological contaminants. 

 

Note:

 It is possible for two pools with identical chlorine residuals to have very different ORP levels. This is due to 

the effectiveness of chlorine in a pool being reliant on other factors such as pH, stabiliser levels, total dissolved 
solids (TDS), combined chlorine levels and temperature. 
 

In general ORP will be affected in the following  ways:

10.  Please note your EcoSalt REDOX Cell is a reverse polarity type designed to clean itself periodically. To 

clean itself the EcoSalt REDOX will shut down for a few minutes and then reverse the polarity of its cell 
plates. In hard water areas you may need to remove and clean the cell manually, following the cleaning 
instructions provided on page 12.
