Installing the salt water chlorinator
2.1 I Installing the electrolytic cell
•
The cell must always be the last element placed on the pool return pipe (see § “2.1.1. Installing the cell
and the sensor holder (depending on model)”).
•
It is always recommended to install the cell on a by-pass. This assembly is mandatory if the flow is in
excess of 18 m³/hour to avoid head loss. A flow regulation valve must be included.
•
When the cell is installed on a by-pass, fit a check valve downstream from the cell instead of a manual
valve, to avoid any risk of incorrect configuration and poor circulation inside the cell.
2.1.1.
I
nstalling the cell and the sensor holder (depending on model)
•
The cell must be installed on the piping after the filtration system, after any measurement sensors, and after any
heating system.
•
The cell's installation must allow easy access to the installed electrodes.
•
Two valves must be installed for isolating the cell from the rest of the installation, so that maintenance tasks can be
performed without emptying the pool.

(*depending on model)
•
Respect the water flow direction indicated on the cell.
•
The circulation system must guarantee the minimum required flow (see§ “1.2 I Technical
specifications”).
•
For Ø50 mm pipes, use glue-on PVC adapters of the corresponding diameter.
•
Connect the cell power cord following the wire colour codes (red, yellow, and orange connectors) and then refit the
protective cap (see § “2.1.3. Connecting the cell to the control box”).
