7.2 ELECTROLYTIC CELL INSTALLATION
Please follow the recommendations below to install the electrolytic cell properly:
1.
The electrolytic cell should be mounted once the installation of all other swimming pool equipment
is completed (filtration pump, filter, heating system).
2.
The electrolytic cell is designed to install in PVC pool plumbing. The opening of the cell holder must
be placed upright to enable the maintenance of titanium plates. To install the cell, cut off at least
187mm of pipe. Fix the electrolytic holder on the pipe, put the electrodes into the cell. Make the
electrode cable go through the nut (Figure 3).
3.
Connect the unions to the pipe and make necessary adjustments for a proper connection. Once
adjusted, fix the connection with PVC glue and tighten the union nuts.
4.
Fix the electrodes inside the holder and tighten the nut of the cell; connect the electrode cable to the
control unit; tighten the nut to ensure the good contact (Figure 4).
Note: the cell can also be installed in a vertical position.

START-UP
Before starting up Emaux
SSCmini
®
unit, the following points have to be taken into consideration:
1.
Check if the filter is completely clean, and ensure that the swimming pool and the installation do not
contain any metals dissolved or algae.
2.
Ensure that the heating equipment (if any) is suitable for use in salt water.
3.
Ensure that chemical parameters of pool water are within the recommended range (see Chapter 6).
4.
Run your filtration system for 24 hours before starting salt chlorinator so that salt in the swimming pool
is completely dissolved.
For start-up, set the system at 50% of working time. It will take a few days of adjustments to find the most
appropriate setting according to the chlorine demand of your swimming pool. Once determined, only minor
adjustments might be necessary in cases of splashing, backwashing, rain, etc.
The temperature of the water is a parameter that effects the chlorine production. When the temperature rises,
chlorine will be easily volatilized affecting sanitizing effect. The water temperature should be within the range
of 15-40ºC. The Emaux
SSCmini
®
will not produce chlorine at temperatures below 10º C.
