7.5 Salt Level
Salt level should be maintained around 4,000ppm but should never be allowed to fall below 3,000ppm. Although
salt is not consumed by the Chlorinator, salt is lost during backwashing, and when your pool overflows due to rain
or splashing. The correct salt level is important to cell life and the effective operation of your chlorinator.
A typical pool of around 50,000 litres requires 200kg of salt to initially set-up the pool to 4,000ppm.
A low salt level warning is indicated on your E Series CSD Chlorinator if the salt level drops. If Low Salt is
indicated, check again in 24 hours and then if it is still indicated, add two 25kg bags of salt to the shallow end of
your pool. Run the filtration system for approx. 6 hours to help mix the salt in the pool. It can take up to a day for
the salt to fully dissolve.
If the low salt light is still on, then you should get your pool water tested. If the Salinity is above 4000ppm then you
may need to have your Chlorinator checked.
Warning: Some people recommend that you put salt directly in the skimmer box. This is a very bad practice as it
allows very high concentrations of salt to be passed through your filtration and other pool equipment.
7.6 ACID Handling
Hydrochloric Acid should be handled with extreme care. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets on Hydrochloric
Acid. Do not inhale Acid fumes. Do not spill and handle with extreme care during transport. Use protective
gloves and goggles.
In the case of spillage wash down with fresh water immediately. Keep our of reach of children.
7.7 Cell Cleaning
At the end of each filter on cycle, the chlorinator will automatically clean the electrodes in the Cell. This is a patent
pending process and takes about 30 minutes. The cleaning phases consist of the following after the timer period
is completed. This process will remove most calcium build up on the cell. Manual cleaning may be periodically
required.
1. Check for water flow
2. Acid pumps doses acid into the cell
3. Pre clean time allows acid to mix with the pool water cleaning the cell electrodes
4. Cell energised to agitate water and acid.
5. Second clean phase starts to allow reaction between the low pH and debris on the cell.
6. Pool Pump is started for 2 minutes to flush cell.
This process will greatly reduce manual cleaning frequency of your cell. In pools with very high calcium levels, the
cleaning duration and frequency may require adjustment.
It is usual to see a visible trace of Calcium on the electrodes in the cell after cleaning but the majority of Calcium
and debris should be removed by this process. Should calcium and debris on the cell start to fill the gap between
the electrodes, manually clean the cell in a mild acid solution or cell cleaning solution available from your pool
professional
Ensure Acid is always available to clean the cell electrodes. Failure to ensure available acid will increase manual
cleaning frequency and may void warranty.
