6 Maintenance
6.1 Maintenance intervals
To avoid hazardous incidents, chlorinators must be regularly
maintained. We recommend the following maintenance intervals:
Interval Maintenance
After 1 year Minor maintenance:
nLeak test
nFunctional control
After 3 years Major maintenance:
nReplace all seals
After 5 years nReplace the pressure gauge
Table 8: Maintenance intervals
6.2 Minor maintenance
The device exterior is cleaned and checked for any corrosion
damage.
Checking for leaks
Even the smallest leakages of chlorine will attract moisture and
result in the formation of hydrochloric acid. The leakage rate
increases quickly due to corrosion. As a result, every leak must be
remedied immediately.
Leaks are to be located with ammonia solution. Move an open
cylinder with ammonia along the installation whilst the system is
filled with chlorine pressure. Leakages become visible because the
ammonia vapour for combines with the chlorine to form a white
dust. In particular, pay attention to the following points:
nAll locations on which corrosion is visible.
nThread and flange connections
nControl rods of the ball valves
If necessary, the gland screws of the ball valves can be tightened. A
description is available in the ball valve instructions.
Functional control
Operate the changeover unit in normal operation.
nBoth chlorine supply batteries are connected
nTank valves are opened
nOne side of the changeover unit opened
nInjector switched on
Connect the tank valves of the active chlorine supply battery. The
pressure on the pressure gauge falls and when the switching point
has been reached, the ball valves change their switch position.
Open the tank valves and press the key in the cylinder symbol. The
LED switched to green.
Connect the tank valves of the other supply battery. The device
must switch back to the other supply side.
6.3 Major maintenance
Replace all seals on the ball valves. A description is available in the
ball valve instructions.
Proceed in the same fashion as in the small maintenance.
6.4 Replace the pressure gauge
1. Disconnect the pressure gauge cable from the control.
Unscrew the pressure gauge from the connecting piece. This
requires some force, as it is stuck in.
2. Clean the internal thread on T-piece.
3. Glue in the new pressure gauge and allow the glue to harden
for 24 hours. Lay the cable to the control and connect it. Pull all
the cable screw connections to the control.
4. Adjust the contactor on the pressure gauge to the same value
that was set on the pressure gauge.
5. Then perform a leak check and a function test as described
under "minor maintenance".
