Waterco Hydrochlor®
Electrolytic Salt Cell
The
Hydrochlor®’
s salt cell consists of a series of titanium electrodes with opposite charges.
Hydrochlor®’
s clear salt cell housing allows visual inspection of the salt cell plates and enables
monitoring of chlorine production.
The cell housing is constructed using clear U.V. stabilized acrylic. Both anode and cathode of the
self-clean chlorinator are made from uniquely coated titanium plates for extra durability.
Self-Cleaning
Hydrochlor®
Self Clean Salt Cell has the added ability to reverse the polarity of the voltage to
clean calcium build up off its electrodes.
The
Hydrochlor®’
s electrodes, the anode and cathode and hold an electrical potential difference
between them for a designated period of time. This difference is reversed after that period of time
has expired and then the anode becomes the cathode and the cathode becomes the anode.
The reversing of polarity or electrical potential difference will then start to remove any calcium
build-up, which may have been deposited onto the cathode.
This continuous reversing of polarity will keep the cell clean from calcium deposits during its
operation, providing the chemical balance and flow of the pool water thru the cell is maintained
within normal parameters.
It is recommended that you obtain regular water chemistry tests from your local pool professional
to ensure your water balance is within range.
Battery Backup
The Hydrochlor® comes with a Lithium battery incorporated to save your settings in the event of a
power failure. The battery is rated to last 5 years.
Automatic Pool Cover Link
Hydrochlor automatically reduces chlorine production to 10% when detects the pool cover is
deployed. When the pool is open again the Hydrochlor returns to the previous chlorine production
level.
A harness connector is provided to act as switch during the deployment of the pool cover. The
harness is located at the bottom of the Hydrochlor as shown in the following figure.
