It  is said that  all life evolved from  the  sea  and that  salt water  makes  up

 

70%  of our bodies,  so it's little wonder  we  find salt water  the  most  natural 
medium  to  swim  in.

 

It's one reason why salt chlorinators  are now  the 

accepted  standard  for pool sanitizing. 

 

However, it's not the only reason.   With  AstralPool's 

VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator  you  also get a 
benchmark on control,  convenience  and reliability. 

 

To be accurate, salt or minerals  don't  sanitize the 
pool,  chlorine  does.  Salt or minerals in the form  of 
Magnesium  Chloride,  Potassium  Chloride  or Sodium 
Chloride  when  dissolved  into your  pool water  is 
converted  by the VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator into 
chlorine which  sanitizes  your pool.   The salts or 
minerals, in roughly  the same  solution  as a tear drop, 
passes through  the electrolytic  plates in the VX7T 
Salt Chlorine Generator cell to form  chlorine  w hich 
prevents  bacteria  and algae from forming.  What a 
nice solution-particularly  when some  of these 
minerals  and  salts can  be good  for your family  just by 
being  in your pool water.  The result is soft feeling 
water and happy swimmers. 

 

Control

 

 

Manual  dosing  with  liquid  or granular chlorine  can 
be more hazardous.  Over-dosing  can cause  eye 

irritation, itchy  skin and a strong  chlorine  odour.  The 
VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator  continually  generates 
chlorine  at the level you  require. 

 

Convenience

 

 

The easy to use touch  pad  enables complete  control 
of your  pump  and  sanitizer system.   Although 
the VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator is easy to  use, it's 
packed  full of features making  your swimming  pool 
a pleasure to  own  and use.  Chlorine  output,  Pool or 
Spa selection,  filter cleaning,  time  of operation,  and 
additional  run times are all selected  and information 
is provided  on the large liquid crystal display. 

 

Intelligent Self  Cleaning

 

 

During  operation, the anode  in the electrolytic  cell 

attracts  a build- up of calcium  and other  debris 
which requires periodic  cleaning.  Most  chlorinators 

reverse the polarity  to the cell, which in turn  releases 

the residue of calcium  and  debris  on the anode. 

The intelligent  VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator 
analyses the output setting  to  optimise  the polarity  of 
the electrolytic  cell. By

 

minimising  the number  of 

reversals ensures the cell is clean and significantly 
extends  the life of your chlorinator. 

 

Pool  or  Spa  Selection

 

 

When isolating  your spa from  the swimming 

pool, demand  for sanitizer is greatly reduced.   It's 

simple  really, while spa water  is warm  and  requires 
sanitizer to  kill and prevent  the growth  of bacteria 
and algae, it's comparatively  small  volume  means  it 
only needs  a fraction  of the sanitizer that your  pool 
requires.  One touch  of the "Spa"  button  on the 
VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator  and your sanitizer 
output  is automatically reduced  to  suit the demands 
of your  spa.  Why  is this important?  Excessive 
sanitizer is unpleasant, causing  itching  skin, 
bleached  swimwear  and damaging  heaters, pumps 
and  interior finishes  in your spa or pool.   Just 
another way the VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator 
looks after your  family. 

 

Filter  Backwash Timing

 

 

Sand Filters require regular backwashing to  release 

the entrapped  dirt and  debris.  The VX7T Salt 
Chlorine Generator has a very smart  button  that 
operates  the pump 
for one, two

 

or three minutes, ensuring  your  filter 

is backwashed for the correct  period  and turns  off 

the electrolytic  cell, preventing  excessive  build- up 
of sanitizer and by-products during  the backwash 
process.   This feature also ensures that the pump 
cannot  accidently  be left running  and  empty  the 
pool, requiring  expensive  top-up  water.
