CELL INSTALLATION
The Chlorinator Cell should be the last piece of equipment installed on the pipe work just prior to the
return to the pool. However if valves are installed between the Chlorinator and the pool outlet, it is
essential that they cannot deadhead the pump. If the pressure in the cell exceeds 250kPa and/or
the water temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, the cell may fail.
WARNING:
Never install the cell before the pump or heater
The Cell
MUST
be installed with the barrel unions underneath (water connections pointing
downwards) and the cell should be horizontal. The cell is suitable for 40mm pipe only. Use high
pressure PVC pipe and glue into the barrel union tails. Make sure that the
‘O-rings are correctly
fitted and the unions are tightened firmly.
Direction of flow through the Cell is critical
– unit must be plumbed with the water entering
the cell at the end closest to the terminal connections
WARNING:
It is essential that pipe work and equipment do not allow gases generated
from the cell to collect and build up.
WARNING:
Cell must be installed horizontally with water connections pointing
downwards
– this creates a safety gas trap. Installation in any other way
may cause explosion, injury or death.
WARNING:
Cell must be installed in the return pipework to the pool. Always install after
filter, gas heater, and solar heater or heat pump connections.
WARNING:
DO NOT install isolation valves
on inlet or outlet of cell.
Once the Cell is located, connect the black multi-
core cable to the cell. All terminal posts and cell
cable connectors are colour coded, ensure the
correct colours are connected. Ensure that the
connectors are seated firmly and correctly.
