6.4 I Winterising
The appliance is fitted with a protection system limiting chlorine production in poor
operating conditions such as cold water (winter) or low salt.
•
Active winterising
= filtering operational in winter: below 10°C it is preferable to switch off the appliance. Above
this temperature you can leave it running.
•
Passive winterising
= lower water level and drained piping: switch off the appliance and leave the cell dry in place
with any isolation valves open.
•
Winterising the sensors =
Keep the plastic sensor tube (which contains a storage solution) for re-use when win-
terising. The sensors must always be stored wet (never dry). They must be stored in the tube filled with a storage
solution of 3 mol/L KCl or at least in tap water.
6.5 I Preparing the pool for new season
Required actions:
•
Adjust the water level (too much or too little).
•
Check the water parameters: TA/TH/pH/Salinity/Chlorine/Stabiliser/Copper/Metals, and adjust the parameters to
obtain a balanced, healthy pool, see
§ “3.1 I Balance the water”.
•
Check the condition of the equipment (pump, filter, chlorinator, electrolytic cell).
• Inspect the sensors, then clean and recalibrate.
•
As soon as the salt level reaches the required level (4,000 ppm or 5,000 ppm) and has completely dissolved in the
water, restart the salt water chlorinator.
