7.5. OPERATION FUNDAMENTALS
When Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System is installed, a quantity of salt is dissolved
into the swimming pool water. This salty water then passes through the electrolysis cell that is
located in the plant room. When a weak electrical current is passed through the plates inside
the electrolysis cell, chlorine is produced. Maintaining a level of chlorine in swimming pool water
keeps the water sanitised and healthy to swim in.
The Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System will produce chlorine whenever the pool circulation
system (pump and filter) is operational. The Astralpool Chlore systems will also monitor the
pH level and activate a dosing pump to add pH reducing chemical if necessary. Moreover,
the integrated ORP controller will automatically control the water chlorine level by connecting/
disconnecting the electrolysis system when necessary.
Nevertheless, it is important to continue testing the pool water chlorine, pH and alkalinity levels,
and to adjust these values as required. The chlorine level can be increased via the integrated
ORP controller. The pH level will be reduced by the AstralPool Chlore Elite system, and the
water chemical balance must be maintained manually.
The Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System consists of two elements: an electrolysis cell
and a power supply. The electrolysis cell contains a quantity of titanium plates (electrodes). The
power supply is provided with several safety devices, which are activated in case of system
irregular operation of the system, as well as a microprocessor driven control system.
The AstralPool Chlore Elite Systems have an automatic cleaning system that avoids scale
formation on the electrodes.
