Typical AquaPure Installation With Options
The AquaPure uses a process known as electrolysis to produce sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) from
a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite kills bacteria, oxidizes organic material,
and kills algae then reverts back to salt. The AquaPure then reuses the salt and the process starts over again.
The AquaPure system is comprised of the following three component parts and an optional pool pump timer.
Control Center
The control center converts AC electrical current to a low voltage DC current which
is required by the cell to perform the electrolysis. The control center is connected
with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the electrolytic cell only
operates when the pool pump is on. The
fl
ow portion of the
Flow/Temp/Salinity
Sensor
is a backup device only.
Electrolytic Cell
The electrolytic cell contains bipolar electrodes which perform the electrolysis and
produce chlorine when energized with DC current. Chlorine is generated as pool
water containing salt passes through the cell. The chlorine production can be varied
by either adjusting the Chlorine Production Level on the control center or by varying
the number of hours the AquaPure is on each day.
The AquaPure automatically
cleans the Cell electrodes once every 3 hours. This does not interrupt the
production of Chlorine.
Flow/Salinity/Temperature Sensor
The Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor only allows the Cell to operate if
there is adequate water
fl
ow through the Cell. The salinity portion of the Flow/Temp/
Salinity Sensor detects the level of salt in the pool water. This salt level is displayed
in grams per liter (gpl) on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) whenever the salinity
button is pressed. This eliminates the need for manual pool water salinity testing.
Pool Temperature is now available on all models by pressing the
Temperature
button.
ATTENTION INSTALLER:
Various application notes (more detailed instructions) are
available from the Dealer covering installation, operation, maintenance, and plumbing
of the chlorinator system.
