Waterco Electrochlor LCD Chlorinators
Chlorine Production Levels
The output of the chlorinator can be adjusted to reflect the different seasonal requirements in order
to maintain satisfactory chlorine sanitizer levels.
The amount of chlorine produced is displayed by a bar graph, which can be adjusted by pressing
the
SET Level
key and then by pressing the
UP
or
DOWN
keys and pressing the
ENTER
key to
confirm.
When chlorine production is set at 100%, the Bar Graph will be shown in full in the LCD display with
correct water balance. Each segment on the bar graph represents 10% of chlorine production. The
total bar graph is made up of 10 segments
If the pool water is over chlorinated, simply reduce the chlorine production set level.
Note: Chlorine production level should be turned down during filter’s backwashing and
rinsing cycles, to stop the pump from cutting out prematurely.
SALT light ON
As the salt level drops, the SALT light will come on at any salt level between 4500ppm and 5500ppm
depending on mains voltage and water temperature. A water temperature of of less than 20°C may
trigger the SALT light to come on. During periods of low temperature, if the SALT light is on, take a
water sample to your pool shop to test the salt level of your swimming pool.
If the Salt light is on during periods of high temperature it is advisable to empty no more than two
25 Kg bags of salt at one time into the shallow end of the pool. The salt will slowly drift down to the
deep end, helping to disperse the salt.
Observe the chlorinator pool monitor and confirm the SALT light is not showing. If the light remains
on, wait 24 hours and repeat the procedure with a further two bags of refined salt.
Note: Operating the Electrochlor at reduced salt levels may shorten the life of the electrode.
