Note that chlorine output depends on salt concentration, water temperature, and mains power
voltage. The nominal standard values of 4000 ppm salt, 27 ºC (80° F) water temperature, and
correct mains voltage, will provide maximum output. If any one or more of these three variables
are less than the standard values, the output may be less.
7. Safety features
The ‘Chlorine Output’ light indicates that the Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device is
operating correctly and producing chlorine. In the event of hydrogen gas accumulating in the cell
housing (for example, when there is no water flow through the cell), the EZ SALT Chlorine
Generating Device will cease producing chlorine for safety reasons. (See Safety Test).
The ‘Check Salt’ light warns the pool operator that the salt concentration in the pool has dropped
below a preset critical value. See the section called
Salt: When and How to Add it
.
Note
: the
‘Check Salt’ light may activate if the water temperature of the pool drops to temperatures below
18°C (65°F) or if the cell is damaged or needs replacement. See the Troubleshooting section,
Problem G for further instructions.
Safety test
It is essential that the flow failure system be tested by the following method.
1. Switch on the pump and Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device, and adjust the
chlorine output to maximum.
2. Disconnect the blue sensor lead clip from the terminal pin at the end of the cell.
3. After a short delay the red ‘No Flow’ light should come on and the ‘Chlorine Output’ light
will go out, showing that no chlorine is being produced.
This check should confirm that the flow failure system is operating correctly.
4. Reconnect the sensor lead clip to the terminal pin which will cause the Zodiac EZ SALT
Chlorine Generating Device to resume normal operation.
5. Do not continue to operate the Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device if the test of
the flow failure system indicates a fault. Contact Zodiac Pool Care Canada Ltd. at 1 888
647-4004.
