CHLORINATOR
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of your
VAPURE VP-Series Salt Chlorinator
is simple. Your unit has to be one of the most productive
pieces of equipment on your swimming pool so it requires some basic maintenance.
While water chemistry will always be the most important form of maintenance there are also other hints and
pointers to take note of.
DO NOT cover the Power Pack with towels or similar. There are vents that could be closed and these need air to
keep the unit cool.
To extend the life of your unit we always recommend installation in an under cover area away from the elements.
Placing the unit in a closed shed or similar environment with chemicals, fertilisers and other corrosives will damage
the unit and could void your warranty.

. Please remember to turn it on once
done and return the unit to AUTO mode. See 6.7 BACKWASH for further details.
Check that the plug connections on the Cell and the base of the unit are tight and are in sound condition at least
once a year.
9.1 Inspecting and Cleaning the Cell Electrode
Reverse Polarity cells should not normally require cleaning, however, in areas with very hard water all calcium may
not be removed. A calcium deposit might form on the lower areas of the cell, the sensor or the sides of the cell
plates. This will NO
ect the operation of your chlorinator, however you can use Cell Cleaner to clean the Cell.
All salt chlorinator cells must be cleaned before scale/calcium builds up to the point where the electrode gaps in
the Cell are bridged. If the Cell has excessive calcium deposit, this may damage the electrode coating, as the

Check the Cell to prevent the accumulation of pool debris that for any reason may have b
,
particularly after backwashing.
Check that the O-ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum based jelly) and securely
located in the Cell Housing.
For cleaning, please follow these steps:
Press [POWER] to OFF as this ensures the pump and the unit will not turn on.
Unscrew the Cell Locking Ring and remove the electrode for inspection. If calcium build-up is present, immerse the
electrode in Cell Cleaner.
A solution can be made by mixing 1 part hydrochloric acid to 10 parts of water. If excessive build up is present a
stronger solution may be used to remove the calcium. Using 5 parts of water will make a more aggressive solution
but will not damage the Cell. You can use Cell Cleaner and if you do then follow the instruction supplied.
Allow the cleaning solution to dissolve the calcium deposits for about 10 minutes. Dispose of the cleaning solution
at an approved Council Depot and never into storm water or sewage drains.
