The analysis kit is the only way of checking your swimming pool’s chlorine level and
chemical balance.
We advise that you check and adjust your pool’s water regularly to keep it clear and
transparent.
11. ADDING SALT
Salt should be added in a proportion of 50 to 60 kg of salt per 10 m
3
of water . The salt is
tipped into the pool so as to allow it to dissolve. As salt is heavier than water it will sit on the bottom,
even if it looks as though it has dissolved. To achieve a more even distribution it is advisable to run
the pool vacuum over the bottom and run the filter for 24 hours.
This should all be done before
switching on the chlorinator.
Contrary to what you might expect, the KRIPSOL chlorinator does not consume salt when it
produces chlorine. The salt is electrolysed, converting it into sodium hypochlorite, which turns back
into
common salt after it has disinfected the water in the pool. However, the use and cleaning of
the filter, and rainwater, will reduce the water level and when it is topped up the salt concentration
will drop.
The KRIPSOL chlorinator must be switched off while salt is being added until the salt is
completely dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the pool. Failure to do so may cause
costly damage to the electrodes and the rectifier.
12. SITUATION, INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
12.1 SITUATION
There must be no corrosive or inflammable liquids nearby while the chlorinator is being
installed.
The unit must be installed in a dry location. In any event, there must be a drain in the floor to
protect against flooding. If the unit is installed in a damp location, a ventilation system must be fitted
to avoid condensation forming. If the unit is installed in a confined space, the lack of air cooling may
necessitate a forced ventilation system to ensure that the unit does not exceed 40ºC (104ºF).
Do not store the chemicals used with the swimming pool near the unit.
12.2 INSTALLATION
The unit must be installed and connected by qualified personnel only.
There must be no corrosive or inflammable liquids nearby while the chlorinator is being
installed.
The unit is shipped with a wall-mounting plate for attachment with two screws. We
recommend DIN7981 ø5.5 screws with a minimum length of 20mm and threaded for a Fischer type
plastic plug or similar.
The cells must be fitted downstream from the filter, the heater (whether conventional, solar,
or otherwise) and the valves. Sufficient space must be allowed for the cell to be dismantled for
cleaning. See the diagram below and the installation diagram (page 10).
The control rectifier must be installed near the filtering system. The ideal location is a wall
giving protection against the rain, splashing, and accidental spills.
Note: The cell housing is designed for 50mm pipes.
Ensure that the rectifier cable is connected to the cell correctly.
