INSTALLATION
The Jacuzzi® J-SS40 Salt System control has a Rating of IP23 enabling it to be installed outdoors. Regulations require that
the control is not allowed to be located within 10 feet of the pool water.
The Jacuzzi® J-SS40 Salt System Control should be installed in a well ventilated position ideally away from direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is not located near pool chemicals as fumes may damage the control.
When installing the control on a post, first attach a flat waterproof panel at least 12” inches wide by 20” inches long. Make
sure the control is located centrally on the panel and sits flat.
Note: The pump current rating must not exceed 8 amps.
CELL INSTALLATION
The J-SS 40 Salt System Cell must be located last in the pipe work just prior to the return to the pool. If valves are installed
between the Salt System Cell and the pool outlet, it is essential that they cannot deadhead the pump. If the pressure in the
cell exceeds 50 PSI and/or the water temperature exceeds 113º Fahrenheit, the Cell may fail.
WARNING: Never install the cell before the pump or heater
The Cell MUST be installed with the barrel unions underneath (water connections pointing downwards) and the cell should
be horizontal. 2” fittings have been provided. Use 2” high pressure PVC pipe and glue into the 2” barrel union tails.
Make sure that the ‘O-rings are correctly fitted and the unions are tightened firmly.
Direction of flow through the Cell is critical – unit must be plumbed with the water entering the cell at the end closest to
the terminal connections (as indicated by flow direction label mounted on cell)
WARNING:
It is essential that pipe work and equipment do not allow gases generated from the Cell to collect and build up.
WARNING:
Cell must be installed Horizontal with water connections pointing downwards – this creates a safety gas
trap. Installation in any other way may cause explosion, injury or death.
WARNING:
Cell must be installed in the return pipework to the pool. Always install after filter, gas heater, and solar
heater or heat pump connections.
WARNING:
DO NOT install isolation valves on inlet or outlet of cell.
Once the Cell is located, connect the black multi-core cable to the cell. The blue wire must be connected to the blue
terminal. The cable is designed to come from below the cell. Make sure wing nuts are correctly tightened to ensure good
contact.
