Waterco Electrochlor LCD Chlorinators
Installation
1. Ensure that the chlorinator cell is the last piece of equipment installed on the filtration system
– this is so the chlorine produced will not damage other equipment such as heaters.
2. The cell may be installed above or below water level. If it is below water level, please ensure that
an isolation valve is installed so the unit can be serviced without losing water from the pool.
3. The cell may be mounted on different angles so long as a gas trap is provided.
GAS TRAP: The cell must be positioned in such a way as to provide a gas trap. The bottom
of the cell must be above the top surface of the pipe from the previous piece of equipment,
as per the below diagram.
Installation as indicated will prevent the hydrogen
gas (a bi-product) of the electrolysis process to
collect in the filter should scavenging water flow
cease.
HOW TO ADD SALT
After installing your salt chlorinator, you simply add the recommended amount of salt to your pool
and choose your desired chlorine level.
1 kg of salt in 1,000 litres of water raises the salt level by 1000ppm. Therefore, 420 kgs of salt will
raise a 70,000 litre pool from 0 ppm to 6,000 ppm.
Do not add the salt to the skimmer box. Run the filter for 4 to 6 hours to help disperse the salt
around the pool. Note: allow 24 hours for the salt to fully dissolve.
WHAT TYPE OF SALT SHOULD I USE?
High purity salt, it is important that the salt does not contain additives. Any common salt (like table
salt) usually has an additive that may have staining properties.
