placed in the skimmer box. Run the filter and pump with the WATERMAID chlorinator
OFF to circulate the undissolved salt in the water. Quality pool and spa salt, sodium chloride
(with low levels of iron and other impurities) should be used, with finer grades of salt
usually dissolving faster. Alternatively, seawater may be used.
Salt may take 24 - 48 hours to dissolve in summer and longer in winter.
(iii) MOUNT THE POWER SUPPLY
The WATERMAID Power Supply should ideally be enclosed within a splash-proof
housing (e.g. in a filter box) and mounted in a position that complies with local
regulations.
1. Locate a suitable position for the WATERMAID Power Supply and that allows for box
dimensions of 240mm wide x 315mm high x 150mm deep (9.4 x 12.4 x 5.9 in). [Allow at
least 20 mm (0.8 in) from the top of the WATERMAID Power Supply to any structure or
fitting above]
2. For Brickwork:
a) Drill 2 x 8 mm (0.3 in) diameter holes, 30mm (1.2 in) deep, that are 156mm (6.1 in)
apart and level.
b) Insert 2 blue (8 mm or 0.3 inch diameter) wall plugs into the holes drilled.
c) Place the screws (provided) into the holes of the bracket (provided) and proceed to
screw tight.
3. For Mounting onto Timber:
a) Drill 2 x 4mm (0.2 in) diameter holes into the timber, 30mm (1.2 in) deep, that are 156
mm (6.1 in) apart and level.
b) Place the screws (provided) into the holes of the bracket (provided) and proceed to
screw tightly to the timber.
4. Lift the WATERMAID Power Supply onto the bracket ensuring that it is secure on the
wall.
(iv) INSTALL THE WATERMAID CELL
Before installing the Cell, unplug the filter, pump and WATERMAID Power Supply. This is
advisable so that the filter will not start inadvertently if a timeclock already exists. Also,
close off the valves if the filter and pump are below pool surface level or if there are no
valves, block off the inlet and outlet with cloth wadding or rubber stoppers.
TYPE P Pressure Solvent Cement (glue) must be used. Do NOT install the Cell too close to
the heater or on the bend of the pipe work, as distortion of the Cell casing may occur. The
WATERMAID Cell must be installed so that ALL the water from the filter passes through
the Cell before any diversions or breakouts. And it is imperative that a gas trap be
incorporated into the installation, so that NO gas generated by the WATERMAID Cell
finds its way back to the filter, spa blower or any other equipment.
