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.
5.0 Chlorinator Maintenance and Troubleshooting
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
5.1 Cell Maintenance
Your SALT EXPERT Chlorinator has an automatic cleaning feature that under normal
conditions, will keep the cell plates clear of deposits of salt and calcium.
SALT EXPERT Series cells have a negative charge sensor that monitors the flow and salt
levels of the water. This sensor is designed to be fail safe. As it is negative charges deposits of
calcium or other debris may be deposited on it and cause it to indicate a low salt or no flow
condition. Should a low salt condition be indicated, have your salt level checked at your local
pool shop. If the low salt condition persists, or a no flow condition is indicated when the
supply pump is operating, you may need to manually clean your chlorinator Cell.
Cell Cleaning Instructions:
-
close applicable valves
-
disconnect the Chlorinator from the Mains by removing the plug
-
disconnect the cell wires
-
undo the barrel nuts connecting the cell to your filtration system.
-
turn the cell upside down (inlet and outlet on top) and fill the cell with a mix of 1
part Hydrochloric acid to 10 parts water and leave standing for a few minutes. As
an alternative, you may use an approved commercial Cell cleaning solution
-
repeat if necessary and then rinse well in clean water
-
re-install the cell ensuring o-rings are correctly located and barrel nuts are tightened
to prevent leaks
-
re-connect cell wires with wing nuts supplied making sure the blue wire is
connected to the blue terminal. Incorrect connection may damage your chlorinator
control. Tighten wing-nuts to ensure the electrical connection is sound.
-
Return all valves to their normal positions, re connect power to the Chlorinator and
turn on at power point.
WARNING: Follow safety instructions provided with the Hydrochloric acid or cleaning
solution. When handling Hydrochloric Acid, the use of eye protection, mask and gloves
are highly recommended. Extreme caution should be taken whenever handling
Hydrochloric Acid or Cell Cleaning Solution.
