2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• To minimise the risk of gas build-up in the cell housing, you must ensure there is sufcient water ow through the cell when the unit is on and producing chlorine.
• It is essential that your pool pump circulates sufcient water through the cell housing to completely ll the cell housing with water during the chlorination process.
• Periodically check the paddle of the safety ow switch to ensure it is free to move back and
forth and that the lock nut is done up hand tight.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR Nipper
FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE & LIFE OF YOUR ChloroMatic Nipper.
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR CHLORINATOR
POOL BUILDERS:
Please cover this information with your customer during the new pool “Handover Session”.
Chlorinators are a valuable piece of pool equipment and must be cared for to get the best performance and life span. There are THREE main factors that will damage your ChloroMatic Nipper and reduce the life of the product. Please monitor the following factors in accordance with your installation & operating instructions.
1. MAINTAIN RECOMMENDED SALT LEVELS
RECOMMENDED OPERATING RANGE: (see page 38)
• Run your ChloroMatic Nipper at the salt levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure optimum performance and cell life;
• Operating the ChloroMatic Nipper at low salt levels will damage the cell and reduce its life;
•ThecontrolpaneldisplaysaashingredLEDindicatorwarningwhenthesaltlevels are low;
• If no action is taken to rectify the salt levels, damage to the cell may result which will not be covered under warranty.
2. MONITOR & MAINTAIN YOUR Nipper CELL
Nipper has a “reverse polarity” cell.
• To keep your ChloroMatic Nipper in the best possible condition, regular monitoring of the cell is recommended. The cell is in the clear plastic housing and contains the Titanium plates.
• During the chlorination process a white powdery Calcium scale may naturally build up on the Titanium plates in the cell. Monitor the cell to prevent excessive scale build up. Excessive scale build-up will cause damage to your cell, and dramatically reduce its
efciencyandlifespan.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warning that indicates that the cell may require cleaning.
• If Calcium scale builds up please clean the cell, following the cleaning instructions provided on page 36.
• NEVER: Use concentrated acid to clean your cell.
• NEVER: Leave cell in cleaning solution for extended periods of time.
• NEVER: Use metal implements, scourers, or brushes to clean the cell.
3. BALANCED POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
• Correct salt levels MUST be maintained (see page 38) for optimum performance and lifespan.
• Calcium Hardness levels MUST be kept to ideal ranges of 200 - 275ppm (for Concrete and Tiled Pools) and 100 - 225ppm (for other surfaces) to prevent excessive scale build up and damage to equipment.
• pH levels MUST be kept to ideal levels to prevent damage to equipment and pool surfaces and to obtain optimum chlorination effectiveness.
• Total Alkalinity and Stabiliser levels must also be kept in an ideal range.
Note: Please refer to the POOL WATER CHEMISTRY chart on page 40 for more information.

Return to pool line
Suction Line
FILTER
PUMP
ACCESSORIES
230V POWER SUPPLY
Algae Microscopic forms of plant life which enter the pool by rain, wind and dust. There are numerous varieties – some are free floating whilst others grow on walls and in cracks and come in different colours. Some are more resistant to chemical treatment than others. Bacteria The germs that contaminate your pool. Introduced by swimmers, dust, rain storms and other elements. Balanced water The correct ratio of mineral content and pH level that prevents pool water from being corrosive or scale forming. Chloramines Compounds formed when chlorine combines with nitrogen from urine, perspiration, etc. Chloramines cause eye and skin irritation, as well as unpleasant odours.
Chlorine demand The chlorine required to destroy germs, algae and other contaminants in the pool. Chlorine residual The amount of chlorine remaining after chlorine demand has been satisfied.
This is the reading obtained with your test kit. Cyanuric acid Also known as stabiliser or conditioner. It reduces dissipation of chlorine by direct
sunlight. Liquid acid Chemical used to reduce the pH and total alkalinity in the pool water, and for cleaning Sanitiser cell. ppm An abbreviation for Parts Per Million the accepted measurement of chemical concentration in swimming pool water. 1 ppm = 1 mg/L.
4. INSTALLING THE Nipper
4.1 INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY
Select a convenient well-ventilated location within one metre of filter equipment and mount the power supply vertically onto a wall, or post at least as wide as the ChloroMatic Nipper power supply itself. Davey recommends that the power supply shall not be located within 3 meters of the pool water. Plug pump and chlorinator power supply into a suitable weatherproof power outlet/controller. Where applicable, some model variants have a 3-pin socket on the underside of the power supply, provide pump power. The unit must be kept away from acid and other chemical storage areas. Acid and chemical vapours will corrode the electronics inside the unit. It must also be kept away from heat sources. Good ventilation is necessary for correct operation.
Two self-tapping screws and wall plugs have been provided for fast and simple installation.
Use a 6mm masonry drill bit when fitting Power Supply to a brick or concrete wall. When mounting to a post drill pilot holes and fit screws provided. Holes should be level and 164mm apart. Once screws are in position simply hang ChloroMatic Nipper power supply via mounts on back of Unit.
Figure 4.1

4.2 INSTALLING THE CELL
The ChloroMatic Nipper cell should always by the last appliance in your system. Ensure the cell is installed after pumps, filters and any heating appliances. To achieve best efficiency, the ChloroMatic Nipper cell should be installed such that turbulent water is limited as much as possible. When installing a 90° elbow before the cell’s inlet barrel union, ensure there’s equivalent to 5 x pipe diameter of straight pipe between the elbow and the union. That is, if the pipe diameter is 40mm, straight pipe entering the barrel union should be no less than 200mm in length. Isolation valves (used where equipment is located below pool water level) should also be installed no closer than 5 x pipe diameter from the inlet barrel union. This will assist laminar flow.
5. CONNECTING THE ELECTROLYTIC CELL TO THE POWER SUPPLY
The Nipper salt water sanitiser uses a reverse polarity electrolytic cell for low maintenance operation. The ChloroMatic Nipper power supply is fitted with a flexible lead terminated with the cell connectors built into a plastic moulding. The three in-line connectors are not “polarity sensitive”.
Figure 5.1
NOTE: The ChloroMatic Nipper cell is supplied with a paddle type flow switch, which is to be installed on the cell as shown in the diagram on page 4 and connected to the cell lead via the connector on the end of the cable.
IMPORTANT: The ow switch must be mounted with the highlighted arrow on side of the switch pointing in the direction of ow.
6. CONNECTING THE FLOW SWITCH TO THE CELL HOUSING
Ensure that the flow switch is installed into the cell housing.
Ensure the flow switch direction is correct (see page 4)

• CHLORINE: For a new pool installation that has not been chlorinated, add sufficient Chlorine (liquid or
granular) to achieve a reading of 3 ppm (with a suitable test kit). Alternatively, run the ChloroMatic Nipper salt pool chlorination system continuously on BOOST MODE, for approximately 24 hours, or until a reading of 3 ppm is reached.
• STABILISER: It is essential that pool stabiliser be added and maintained at the rate of 25 - 50 ppm at
all times (FOR OUTDOOR POOLS ONLY). For ORP controlled systems the stabiliser level should be maintained between 15-25ppm.
• (Refer Day to Day Operation page 36 for further information).
Salt required
8. OPERATION OF YOUR Nipper
CHLORINE OUTPUT is expressed as a percentage. Set the ChloroMatic Nipper to the percentage output required and the unit will automatically adjust the cell output to the set level. The ChloroMatic Nipper is fitted with an electronic control and warning system. This regulates the output of the ChloroMatic Nipper to the pre-set maximum and changes cell polarity as indicated by the + or – on the digital display. The polarity will alternate over a number of hours of chlorination time, not necessarily pump-run hours. The warning system consists of one Operation LED which will glow green to indicate normal operation, or red to indicate user attention required, see troubleshooting on page 38.

12. ChloroMatic Nipper FEATURES
12.1 CONTROLLING CHLORINE OUTPUT
65% – 09:35 AM AUTO 0N
Figure 12.1
The CHLORINE OUTPUT controls the time that the cell is producing chlorine, as a percentage of total time that the ChloroMatic Nipper is on. If the ChloroMatic Nipper cell is producing, it is producing at 100%, unless otherwise altered (see sections WINTER MODE, or SPA MODE). The cell run time is referred to as “cell duty cycle”.
For example:
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 8 hours per day, and the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 50%: the
ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is only 4 hours, of that day;
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 8 hours per day, and the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 25%: the
ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is only 2 hours, of that day.
To adjust the CHLORINE OUTPUT:
70% – 09:35 AM CHLORINE OUTPUT

12.2 AUTOMATED TIMERS
The ChloroMatic Nipper has two separate timers available for automated operation. This is ideal if looking to run the pool a few hours in the morning, then a few hours in the afternoon. It is important to ensure that the timers do not overlap as this may create confusion when the timer turns on and off.

12.3 ACTIVATING COVER MODE
A pool’s exposure to UV contributes significantly to the pool’s total chlorine demand. Ie the amount of chlorine the pool uses. Excessive amounts of chlorine in a pool with a cover on, can significantly shorten the life expectancy of the pool cover, if left for long periods of time (eg weeks). Turning on the COVER MODE reduces the cell duty cycle by 80% of its current setting.
For example:
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 8 hours per day, the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 50%, but the COVER
MODE is on: the ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is only 48 minutes, of that day;
20
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 8 hours per day, the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 25%, but the COVER
MODE is on: the ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is only 24 minutes, of that day.

12.4 ACTIVATING BOOST MODE
Should the pool experience a heavy bather load, debris/contamination, or extreme warm weather, there may be a need to super-chlorinate the pool. Turning on the BOOST MODE increases the cell duty cycle to 100% and overrides the cell current (output) to 100% for a period of 24 hours.

screen changes as expected. This could be handy if the setting needs altering for the next day, once the BOOST MODE is finished;
> It should be noted though, BOOST MODE overrides every other setting. During the 24 hour period while
is BOOST MODE is active, the cell current is 100% output, and duty cycle is overridden to 100%. This is regardless of the display on the screen.

12.5 ACTIVATING SPA MODE
The ChloroMatic Nipper system is compatible with large swimming pool applications as well as much smaller spa applications. Turning on the SPA MODE reduces the cell duty cycle by 80% of its current setting.
For example:
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 10 hours per day, the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 50%, but the S PA
MODE is on: the ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is only 1 hour, of that day;
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 10 hours per day, the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 25%, but the spa
MODE is on: the ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is only 30 minutes, of that day.

12.6 ACTIVATING SPA MODE AND COVER MODE SIMULTANEOUSLY
Should it be necessary to run SPA MODE and COVER MODE simultaneously, the cell duty cycle is only reduced by 80% That is, the cell duty cycle isn’t reduced by 80%, followed by a further 80%. The HOME screen display will toggle between showing COVER and SPA.
12.7 ACTIVATING WINTER MODE
A pool’s exposure to UV contributes significantly to the pool’s total chlorine demand. Ie the amount of chlorine the pool uses. Bather load is also a significant contributor to the pool’s total chlorine demand. In winter, the pool’s chlorine demand is typically far less. Unless otherwise altered, if the cell is producing chlorine, it is producing at 100% current (output). WINTER MODE reduces the cell’s current (output) to 85%.
For example:
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 10 hours per day, the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 100%, the WINTER MODE
is off: the ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is 10 hours. The cell current will be operating at 100% capacity;
• If the ChloroMatic Nipper is on for 10 hours per day, the CHLORINE OUTPUT is set to 100%, but the
WINTER MODE is on: while the ChloroMatic Nipper cell duty cycle is still 10 hours, the cell current will only be operating at 85% capacity.

12.8 LOW FLOW ALARM
Should the ChloroMatic Nipper flow switch register a flow rate below 3.6m3/h (60L/min), the ChloroMatic Nipper will enter LOW FLOW ALARM:
ALARM LOW FLOW
Figure 12.32
In LOW FLOW ALARM, the ChloroMatic Nipper will not produce chlorine. Once the flow switch registers flow above 3.6m3/h (60L/min), the ChloroMatic Nipper will return to normal operation. To achieve best efficiency, the ChloroMatic Nipper cell should be installed such that turbulent water is limited as much as possible. Do not install a 90° elbow closer that 200mm from the cell’s inlet barrel union. Isolation valves used where equipment is located below pool water level, should also be installed no closer than 200mm from inlet barrel union. This will assist laminar flow.
12.9 ADD SALT ALARM
Should the ChloroMatic Nipper register low conductivity within the cell, this could be triggered by cold water (below 15ºC), or a salt concentration below its minimum (refer to recommended salt range section in the manual), the ChloroMatic Nipper will enter ADD SALT ALARM. Additional salt may be added to overcome a lower temperature. However, the maximum salt level should also be considered and if water temperature drops too far, the system should be turned off.
ALARM ADD SALT
Figure 12.33
Once the ChloroMatic Nipper registers a salt concentration within range (refer to recommended salt range section in the manual), the ChloroMatic Nipper will return to normal operation.
12.10 LOW SALT CUT-OUT ALARM
Should the salt concentration continue to be diluted, the ChloroMatic Nipper will enter LOW SALT CUT-OUT ALARM.
28
ALARM LOW SALT CUT-OUT

Once the salt concentration is corrected, the LOW SALT CUT-OUT ALARM must be reset by pushing the
manual ON/OFF button. Alternatively, the ChloroMatic Nipper will conduct a system check automatically when powered up the next time (if operating via a separate power supply). Upon start-up if the ChloroMatic Nipper registers a salt concentration within range (refer to recommended salt range section in the manual), the ChloroMatic Nipper will return to normal operation.
LOW SALT CUT-OUT ALARM is triggered at the following (approximate) salt concentrations:
ChloroMatic Nipper model Low salt cut-out alarm (approx. salt concentration)
DNP15CLS, DNP25CLS 1,200ppm
DNP15C, DNP25C, DNP35C 2,500ppm

Should the ChloroMatic Nipper register low flow and a salt concentration below its minimum (refer to recommended salt range section in the manual), the ChloroMatic Nipper will alarm. The display will toggle between the ADD SALT ALARM and the LOW FLOW ALARM. In LOW FLOW ALARM, the ChloroMatic Nipper will not produce chlorine. As shown previously once faults are rectified, normal operation will resume.

13. MAINTENANCE OF POWER SUPPLY
Little, or no maintenance is typically required. However, it is essential that the wall or post to which the ChloroMatic Nipper is installed be sprayed (not the ChloroMatic Nipper itself) periodically with a good surface type insect repellent, since penetration by insects may cause damage, which is not covered by your warranty.
IMPORTANT. Certain local electrical regulations state “If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord available from the manufacturer or its service agent”.
14. MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTROLYTIC CELL
The ChloroMatic Nipper cell is composed of precious materials, and although proper maintenance can prolong its life to the maximum, eventually the output will wear away its delicate coating, at which time it gradually ceases to produce chlorine. Calcium (scale) is deposited on the plates as electrolysis takes place. This build up will interfere with the flow of electrical current in the cell and thus lowers chlorine production. It is essential to inspect the cell regularly and clean when necessary. The rate at which deposits will form on the plate differs with each pool and can be influenced by the following:
• Calcium Hardness of the water;
• Water temperature;
• pH level;
• Water which has been chlorinated with calcium hypochlorite for an extended period; and/or
• Calcium in the plaster surfaces of a concrete pool.
Because these conditions vary so much, check the cell at least weekly to begin with to see if either scale or a blue/green soapy substance appears on the plates. You will then be able to determine the cleaning cycle necessary for your pool (more frequent cleaning may be required in summer). The intervals between cleaning could get longer to the point where cleaning is only necessary a couple of times each year.
NOTE: In areas with hard water, even reverse polarity systems may require occasional manual cleaning.
The life of the ChloroMatic Nipper cell varies substantially from one installation to another due to variations in operating time, water quality and composition, system and cell maintenance.
Please ensure that when cell replacement is necessary you use the correct genuine ChloroMatic Nipper replacement cell to match your system. The correct ChloroMatic Nipper replacement cells to use are shown in the table below:
Model Replacement Cell Code
DNP15C DES2C15REPAU
DNP15CLS DES2C25REPAU
DNP25C DES2C25REPAU
DNP25CLS DES2C35REPAU
DNP35C DES2C35REPAU
ALWAYS INSIST ON GENUINE DAVEY REPLACEMENT PARTS.
If it is necessary to replace the electrolytic cell, beware of “look-a-likes”. Only the Genuine ChloroMatic Nipper cell is designed and warranted to operate with the ChloroMatic Nipper Power Supply.
SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO THE ELECTRONICS INSIDE THE ChloroMatic Nipper, IF CLONE CELLS ARE USED. THIS MAY ALSO VOID WARRANTY.
14.1 TO CLEAN THE ChloroMatic Nipper CELL
Ensure that the ChloroMatic Nipper and pool pump is turned off. Failure to do so may result in the pool pump turning on while the cell is not in place. Disconnect the flow switch and cell lead from the top of the cell housing. Remove the cell from the pool return line by undoing the cell nut, taking care not to lose the o-rings.
36
Method one:
Add 1 part HYDROCHLORIC ACID to 10 parts WATER in a suitable container and immerse the cell in this solution. It should not take longer than a few minutes to clean, if it does the cell should be cleaned more frequently. If the build – up is not excessive it may be possible to clean the cell plates with a jet of running water. Return the cell to its housing and connect leads to the head assembly.
Method two:
As an alternative, an approved commercial cell cleaning solution can be used a number of times effectively.
NOTE: Always add acid to water. Never add water, to acid. Always wear eye protection and rubber gloves. Always clean the cell in a well-ventilated area.
14.2 RE-INSTALLING CELL AFTER CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT
When re-installing the ChloroMatic Nipper cell into the housing, ensure that the cell locking nut is tight. Do this by turning on the pool pump once fitted, then checking for leaks.
If there is a leak, remove the lock nut and inspect the o-ring for debris, or damage. Then re-try. Before re­fitting the cell connectors, ensure that the terminals are dry.
14.3 SAFETY DEVICE
Hydrogen Gas is a by-product of the chlorine producing process. A Flow Switch has been supplied with the ChloroMatic Nipper, which will stop output if low or no flow is detected. The ChloroMatic Nipper system will run to flows down to 3.6m³/h (60L/min).
15. DAY TO DAY OPERATION
Four prime rules must be observed if your unit is to give the best possible service:
15.1 STABILISER
The importance of pool stabiliser cannot be over – emphasised. It is essential in helping retain chlorine in your pool. Chlorine is rapidly dissipated by sunlight and the use of stabiliser will reduce this dissipation substantially. Without stabiliser, it may be necessary to run the Unit for up to three times as long!
Stabiliser should be added at the rate of 500 grams for every 10,000 litres of water. Stabiliser should be maintained at a level of 25-50ppm. If a ORP controller is used, Stabiliser should be maintained at a level of 15-25ppm. Before adding more stabiliser, have your pool water analysed at your pool shop to ensure that you do not add too much. (FOR OUTDOOR POOLS ONLY, INDOOR DO NOT REQUIRE STABILISER).
37
15.2 pH AND TOTAL ALKALINITY
A correct pH level must be maintained to prevent problems such as black spot, staining, cloudy water, etc. An incorrect pH level can damage the pool. Correct pH levels are as follows; Fibreglass – 7.2 to 7.4; Concrete & tiled – 7.4 to 7.6 If you allow the pH level to rise to 8.0 or above, the chlorine required could be as much as three times the normal amount, in order to correctly sanitise the pool.
Total Alkalinity should not be confused with pH. Although the two are closely related, Total Alkalinity determines the speed and ease of pH change. The ideal range is 80 – 150 ppm or, refer to your pool professional.
You should use a test kit which includes a test for Total Alkalinity. Low Total Alkalinity can cause unstable pH levels. An inability to keep the pH constant may cause staining, etching and corrosion of metals. High Total Alkalinity will cause constantly high pH levels and tends to encourage Calcium scaling.
15.3 TDS LEVELS
WARNING: Some people recommend that you put salt directly in the skimmer box. This is a poor practice as it allows very high concentrations of salt to be passed
through your ltration and other pool equipment.
Salt is the essential element by which your ChloroMatic Nipper operates with. Insufficient Salt will damage your cell.
RECOMMENDED SALT LEVEL RANGE
Nipper model Operating salt level Add salt alarm
DNP15CLS, DNP25CLS 1,500 – 6,000ppm ~ 1,500ppm
DNP15C, DNP25C, DNP35C 3,000 – 6,000ppm ~ 3,000ppm
WARNING: Do not add Hydrogen Peroxide to pool water or through swimming pool hydraulic, or sanitiser system. Use of Hydrogen Peroxide will void warranty on Davey products.
Salt is NOT used up in the chlorination process, or by evaporation. It is only lost through dilution caused from: backwashing, splash-out, overflow, leakage from the pool, or plumbing. Heavy rain can dilute the salt levels in your pool therefore, salt levels should be checked during these events.
Low salt levels will destroy the coating on the cell plates and will void all Warranty.
The ChloroMatic Nipper has a built-in warning indicator to minimise damage resulting from insufficient salt levels however, the ultimate responsibility is on the owner to ensure adequate salt levels are maintained all year round.
15.4. RUNNING TIMES
These instructions cover Nipper for residential use only.
If you run your Sanitiser on maximum output for, 24 hours a day, or for longer periods, the cell life will be greatly reduced. It is important that the correct model ChloroMatic Nipper has been installed on your pool. Many models are available from Davey to cope with small courtyard pools up to commercial size pools. (Consult your local Nipper Dealer for more information).
Note: The ChloroMatic Nipper warranty does not apply to commercial or semi-commercial applications, i.e. where the pool chlorine demand is far in excess of a typical residential pool.
38
16. CHLORINE PRODUCTION
The ChloroMatic Nipper must be run daily to generate sufficient chlorine to sanitise the pool. During summer a typical installation would require eight hours per day of chlorination. Depending on when you choose to run the ChloroMatic Nipper, it is best to test the residual Chlorine in the pool at the point where you would anticipate the levels be at their lowest. At that chosen time of the day, if the residual Chlorine level from your test is reading too high, reduce the ChloroMatic Nipper CHLORINE OUTPUT. Alternatively, if the residual Chlorine level from your test is reading too low, increase the ChloroMatic Nipper CHLORINE OUTPUT (refer to page
16). Correct chemical balances (see page 39) are critical to ensure the ChloroMatic Nipper performs correctly.
In cooler times of the year, it’s typically possible to reduce running hours of the ChloroMatic Nipper. Follow instruction from your pool professional. Chlorine output can also be reduced throughout this time by entering
WINTER MODE, (see page 26).
16.1 “SHOCK” TREATMENT
Periodically, especially during extremely hot conditions, it may be necessary to boost the chlorine level in the pool. This can be achieved by selecting BOOST MODE, which will run the system on full for 24 hours, (see page 22). Alternatively, add either liquid, or granulated chlorine. If granulated chlorine is added, the cell must be checked regularly, since the additives from this product can clog the electrodes.
16.2 CHLORINE TYPES AND COMPARISONS / MAX POOL SIZE
Many chlorinator manufacturers calibrate their units to compare with 65% granulated chlorine, making it necessary to adjust their readings to a lower level in order to determine true chlorine production. Below is a comparison table of the available types of chlorine used to sanitise pools.

NOTE: The appropriate ChloroMatic Nipper for your pool is dependent on the local climate, bather load of the pool and running times. Please note that the ChloroMatic Nipper cell life can be increased with shorter running times during winter and lower output settings. Davey recommends the ChloroMatic Nipper be run for between 6 - 8 hours a day during summer, and 4 hours during winter.
