Limpido XC2

v4.0

7. Maintenance

7.1. Adding salt

When the salt level drops below 2.5 g/l, salt must be added.

The use of specially treated salt containing stabilisers for pools is recommended. The effectiveness
of the Limpido XC2 will be significantly improved.

We recommend checking salt levels at the start of the season and returning them to 4g/l. Depending
on the measured salt level, the salt quantities to add are the following:

Measured lev-

el / Pool volume

20m3

40m3

60m3

80m3

2.5 g/l

30

60

90

120

3 g/l

20

40

60

80

3.5 g/l

10

20

30

40

Weight of salt to add in kg to reach 4g/l:For example, if the measured salt level is 2.5g/l 60 kg of
salt should be added to arrive at a level of 4g/l in a 40m3 pool

7.2. Wintering

In winter, weather conditions permitting, the treatment can be kept running while significantly low-
ering its frequency. An 8 hour filtering cycle every 15 days is usually enough. It is imperative, how-
ever, to carry on monitoring the salt levels to protect the cell from the consequences of running in
water that is not salted enough (<2 g/l).

If a cover is used, the chlorine is protected from UVs and the chlorine needs drop. In Automatic
mode, when the cover contact is connected, the Limpido XC2 reduces production automatically.
To let the Limpido XC2 run in cold water (less than 18°C), it may be necessary to increase the salt
level to 5g/l.

7.3. Cell cleaning

When the indicated production remains low despite a correct salt level, check the cell condition and
clean it if any scale is visible on the plates.

This operation must be carried out with the greatest care, and it is essential to
follow the instructions for the use of the acid.

To clean it, close one end using a cap and fill it with diluted acid (HCl at 10%) from the other end.
Leave the acid to act for several hours.
