Use Of Sodium Bromide
Once a bromine pool - Always a bromine pool.
SODIUM BROMIDE (OPTIONAL) - 50 PPM
Where Cyanuric acid is not available or where its use is restricted, bromine can be used as an alternative sanitizer to chlorine.
The Lectranator will convert sodium bromide to bromine in the same way that it converts sodium chloride to sodium hypochlorite.
NOTE: Bromine pools do not require the addition of Cyanuric acid. Typical chlorine stabilizer provides no U.V. protection
for bromine.
To produce hypobromous acid (bromine sanitizer), we recommend initially adding 50 grams of sodium bromide for every 1000 Litres
(4 lbs. for every 10,000 US gallons) of pool water capacity. Thereafter, add 20 grams of sodium bromide for every kilogram of salt
(1 lb. of sodium bromide for every 50 lbs. of salt) added to the pool.
REMEMBER:
For the Lectranator System to operate properly, the pool water must contain the recommended level of both salts as
previously specified. (
When used, sodium bromide is added in addition to the normal amount of sodium chloride required.)
Before operating the Lectranator System, perform the following steps to ensure proper installation and operation:
A. Turn ON all circuit breakers to the pool equipment.
B. Set the output control dial at position five.
C. Switch on the main filter pump, the following indicators should display....a GREEN AC ON and a RED FLOW DETECTOR. This is
normal. After sufficient flow is detected, the RED FLOW DETECTOR indicator should display dark and approximately 5-10 sec-
onds later, a GREEN CELL ON indicator should display. If this sequence does not occur or any RED indicators display, please
refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide for further assistance.
NOTE:
Be sure to monitor the chlorine/bromine level for the next few days and properly adjust the chlorine/bromine output
according to Lectranator’s required levels.
DO NOT EXCEED SANITIZER LEVELS REQUIRED!
If an adjustment is required, make the adjustment and allow the pool to react to this change a minimum of 1-2 days. After the 1-2
days expires, retest the pool water and make any further adjustments if necessary.
As the water temperature decreases, the sanitizer demand also decreases.
Lower the Output Control Dial to satisfy this change in sanitizer demand. (When the water temperature drops below 14C (60F), lower
the Output Control Dial, in some cases, set it to the “OFF” position. Because the water temperature is cooler, the sanitizer demand is
lower, it is unnecessary to produce as much sanitizer as normally produced in warmer water. Further, this action protects the Cell from
damage caused by operating below 14C (60F). A non-chlorine shock can be added to the pool until the water temperature increases
above 14C (60F).
As the water temperature increases, the sanitizer demand also increases.
Raise the Output Control Dial to satisfy this change in sanitizer demand.
