INST 473 ZODIAC EL24 Salt Chlorinator V10.18 

 

GENERAL OVERVIEW 

 

Congratulations! You have purchased an Zodiac EL-24 Salt Chlorinator. Please read the 
instructions carefully and your purchase will provide you with years of trouble free use. 
 
Your Zodiac Chlorinator works by converting some of the salt (sodium chloride) in your pool into 
chlorine which starts to destroy algae and bacteria and sanitises your pool.  As part of the process, 
the chlorine is converted back into salt and hence salt is not consumed. 
 
Your Chlorinator control has many features which ensure simple operation of your chlorinator and 
Filtration system.   
 
The EL-24 Chlorinator has an internal electronic time clock designed to operate the Filtration pump 
up to 2 separate time periods each day. The control has a non replaceable backup power source 
which is designed to maintain timer setting memory in the event of an infrequent and short power 
interruption. 
 

WARNING:  

 

This appliance is not intended for use by persons including young children or 

infirm persons with reduced   physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience 
or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the 
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 
Please ensure that young children are supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 
pump or chlorinator. 
  

To avoid a safety hazard, the supply cord if damaged, must only be replaced by Zodiac, or its 
service agent or a suitably qualified person. 

 

 CHLORINATOR CONTROLLER INSTALLATION 

 

The EL-24 chlorinator controller has a Rating of IP23 enabling it to be installed outdoors

.  

Regulations require that the control is not allowed to be located within 3.5 metres of the pool 
water. 

 
The chlorinator controller should be installed in a well ventilated position ideally away from direct 
sunlight.  Ensure that the unit is not located near pool chemicals as fumes may damage the control. 
 
When installing the controller on a post, first attach a flat waterproof panel at least 300mm wide by 
500mm long.  Make sure the controller is located centrally on the panel and sits flat. 
 
Plug the 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof outlet and then plug the pump into the 3 pin socket 
in the chlorinator controller.   
 

Note

The pump current rating must not exceed 8 amps.
