Pump Protection

If  no  water  flow  is  detected  in  the  salt  cell,  Electrochlor  automatically  switches  off  the  pump  to 

prevent any damage to the pump and pool equipment. Indicators “FL”  will start blinking on the 

LCD panel to alert the pool owner, until the fault is rectified.

Electrochlor Salt Cell

Self-Cleaning

Electrochlor Self Clean Salt Cell has the added ability to reverse the polarity of the voltage to clean 

calcium build up off its electrodes.

The Electrochlor’s electrodes, the anode and cathode and hold an electrical potential difference 

between them for a designated period of time. This difference is reversed after that period of time 

has expired and then the anode becomes the cathode and the cathode becomes the anode.

The  reversing  of  polarity  or  electrical  potential  difference  will  then  start  to  remove  any  calcium 

build-up, which may have been deposited onto the cathode.

This  continuous  reversing  of  polarity  will  keep  the  cell  clean  from  calcium  deposits  during  its 

operation, providing the chemical balance and flow of the pool water thru the cell is maintained 

within normal parameters.

It is recommended that you obtain regular water chemistry tests from your local pool professional 

to ensure your water balance is within range.

The Electrochlor chlorinators must operate between the salt level ranges listed below.

SALT LEVELS

MINIMUM = 5000 ppm           OPTIMUM = 6000ppm           MAXIMUM = 6500ppm

Testing kits are available from the local pool professional and should be used to accurately check 

the salt levels in the pool water.

The Electrochlor’s salt cell consists of a series of titanium 

electrodes with opposite charges. Electrochlor’s clear 

salt cell housing allows visual inspection of the salt cell 

plates and enables monitoring of chlorine production.

The  cell  housing  is  constructed  using  clear  U.V. 

stabilized  acrylic.  Both  anode  and  cathode  of  the 

self-clean  chlorinator  are  made  from  uniquely  coated 

titanium mesh to add extra durability and life.
