INTRODUCTION
Emaux
SSCmini
®
is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool sanitization and it is composed by two
main components: an electrolytic cell and a control unit.
4.1
ELECTROLYTIC CELL
The electrolytic cell is composed by a number of titanium plates (electrodes) placed in a cell holder. The
control unit regulates electrical current that passes through the titanium plates. One extreme of the plates
will be anode and the other will be cathode.
Adding a certain concentration of salt in the water,
this passes through the plates and thanks to the
electrical current, the Hypochlorous acid is produced.
The following chemical reactions are produced in the plates of the electrolytic cell:
Positive pole (anode):
2 H

+ 2e
-
Negative pole (cathode): 2 H

O + 2e
-

+ OH

Final chemical reaction:
Cl

+ OH
-
HClO + Cl

The operation requires a certain concentration of salt (4000 ppm), low enough that it normally will not
be tasted. The
SSCmini
®
automatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into Hypochlorous acid
which kills bacteria and algae in the pool through a process called electrolysis.
Because chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killing the bacteria, the above reactions will
continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need to add sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time
you may need to add more salt to the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining,
or splashing.
4.2 CONTROL UNIT
The control unit is provided with a microprocessor driven control system to regulate operation time and
inform about
SSCmini
®
operation status and errors. The system also includes a self-cleaning procedure
that avoids scale formation on the electrodes.

SAFETY WARNING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The equipment should be assembled and handled by truly qualified people.
Current electrical and accident prevention regulations should be followed.
Under no circumstances will the manufacturer be held responsible for the assembly, installation or start-up,
nor any handling or fitting of components unless they are carried out on its premises.
The working voltage of
SSCmini
®
is 220-240V, 50/60Hz.
Do not attempt to alter the system to operate at
a different voltage.
Check all the electrical connectors to avoid false contacts and their consequent overheating.
Before installing and replacing any component, disconnect the control unit from the main power supply;
only replacements provided by Emaux can be used for replacing.
The control unit must be installed in places with sufficient ventilation. The equipment should not be installed
