4. STANDARD (STD) SYSTEMS (J100 STD or J200 STD models)
As this unit is designed to operate in one direction (unidirectional), the electrode will have to
be cleaned on a regular basis. Once again the impact of the water hardness of the pool will
determine the calcium build up (white chalky deposit) on the electrode.
If left without cleaning, the chlorinator will not produce sufficient chlorine to sanitise your pool,
simply because the calcium covered electrode prevents electrolysis taking place.
As one customer’s water chemistry differs from another, it is imperative that water chemistry
testing be conducted prior to the activation of the newly installed chlorinator this allows the
customer to determine what they are dealing with from the beginning.
5. STD SET UP PROCEDURE.
Standard systems operate utilising the main pump timer to facilitate its switching ON and OFF
process.
We recommend that pool timers be set up as follows:
•
Standard conditions (Non heated pools):
2 ON cycles every 6 hours = 12 hours total duty cycle during summer. In
extreme prolonged temperature conditions the chlorinator may be required to
run longer hours per day say 18 hours per day.
•
Non Standard conditions (Heated pools):
As above, with the option to increase the running time as and when the
chlorine demand determines. Operating the chlorinator in conjunction with a
Solar or Heat Pump condition may require longer operating hours, as high
water temperatures have adverse effects on chlorine efficiency. However, if
the chlorinator is correctly specified for the size pool and the inclusion of
heating device, sufficient chlorine will be produced to meet the sanitization
demands.
6. STD MAINTENANCE PROCESS
•
Turn off the Pump power supply which feeds the chlorinator.
•
Unscrew the electrode from the housing - cables intact.
•
Place the electrode in a pool acid/Water solution of 1:10, this being 1 part Acid and
10 parts Water. Do not submerse the entire electrode with electrical wire connections
into the solution, as this will damage the connections and void the Warranty. Only the
electrode plates containing the calcium deposits must be submersed.
•
Any stronger solution will damage the coating on the electrode and void the Warranty.
•
Do not leave the electrode in the acid solution for prolonged period of time as the
same effect will be realized.
•
Once this process is completed re-install the element assembly into the housing,
ensuring the lid seal is in place and the lid is tightened but not over tightened
•
Restart the pump.
•
Check the Output meter reading for needle position.
•
Remember to test the salt content of the water as described earlier.
We, the manufacturer, cannot be liable for a chlorinator’s poor performance as a result of the
pool water condition of the environment that the unit is left to run in.
7. WINTER REQUIREMENTS (ALL MODELS)
During winter months, the Chlorinator should be turned down to accommodate for lower water
temperatures and lower chlorine demands.
The impact of prolonged colder water temperatures (below 18ºC), impacts on the efficiency of
the chlorination process and may result in damage to the electrode. It is therefore advisable to
adhere to our recommendation
