7. INSTALLING THE CHLORINATOR POWER PACK
The Neptune Digital Salt and Mineral Chlorinator has an Ingress Protection Rating of
IP23 enabling it to be installed outdoors. Regulations require that the Power Pack shall
be installed outside the pool zone. The Power Pack shall be installed according to AS/
NZS 3000 wiring rules.
The Power Pack should be installed in a well-ventilated position ideally away from
sunlight and rain to prolong life and at least 1m above ground to prevent run off water
entry.
Ensure that the Power Pack is not stored near chemicals, fertilisers or in a closed
unventilated shed with similar products as the fumes will cause excessive corrosion
and damage to the internals of the Power Pack and may void warranty.
When mounting the Power Pack on a post it is recommended to install a flat panel at
least the same size to act as a waterproof backing plate.
Mount the Power Pack with the Mounting Bracket, Green Plugs and Screws provided.
The Power Pack should be mounted no further than 1.5m from the Chlorinator Cell for
ease of operation.
8. INSTALLING THE CELL
Connect the Cell Housing horizontally in the return line to the pool (use reducing
bushes supplied if 40mm PVC pipe) using high pressure PVC glue. The Cell Housing
can be mounted vertically but provision must be made for a gas trap.
Direction of water flow through the Cell Housing is not critical although we do
recommend entry from the closed end of the Cell Housing and exit from the end closest
to the Cell Locking Ring. The reason is to cause less water hammer over time on the
cell plates.
Check that the O-Ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum-
based jelly) and securely located in the Cell Housing.
Ensure Cell Locking Ring is firmly tightened by hand (DO NOT used a tool to tighten).
Connect the lead from the Cell Electrode to the Cell Plug under the Power Pack
ensuring a firm snap lock connection.
Plug the Power Pack’s 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof RCD protected 10amp
outlet and then plug the pump into the 3 pin AC Socket located at the bottom of the
Power Pack.
