This equipment must be installed and serviced by a qualified technician.
Improper installation can create electrical hazards which could result in property
damage, serious injury or death. Improper installation will void the warranty.

Note :
For Tariff 33 installation best to connect Electrochlor LCD to normal power
for at least 12 hours to fully charge the batteries. Otherwise Electrochlor
LCD can be just plugged into power to set the time and programs.

Electrochlor Salt Water Chlorinator

The Electrochlor will automatically maintain the chlorine level of your pool and eliminate problems

associated with periods of very high or low chlorine levels. Fewer uctuations in chlorine levels
mean fewer uctuations in pH levels. This adds up to more stable, balanced water.

Consistently maintained sanitizer levels in the pool water will prevent the growth of all common
algae. A salt-water chlorinated pool requires much less attention than a chlorine pool.

Chlorine Generation

A small amount of natural salt is dissolved into the pool water. As the pool water ows through

the electrolytic cell, electrolysis separates the salt water into its basic components, sodium and
chloride. Pure chlorine gas is produced by this process and goes to work in the pool. Following this
process the chloride and sodium re-bond and become natural salt again.

Electrochlor

Electrochlor consists of a Power Pack (to supply power to the cell) and Salt Cell (where the chlorine
is produced).

Electrochlor Power Pack

The Power Pack monitors and controls chlorine production by regulating the amount of electrical
energy supplied to the salt cell.

In built pool monitor

Electrochlor’s power pack has an inbuilt:

• Salt level indicator

• Chlorine production indicator

• Self diagnostics

Pump Protection

If no water ow is detected in the salt cell, Electrochlor automatically switches off the pump to

prevent any damage to the pump and pool equipment. Indicators “FL” will start blinking on the

LCD panel to alert the pool owner, until the fault is rectied.

Electrochlor Salt Cell

Self-Cleaning

Electrochlor Self Clean Salt Cell has the added ability to reverse the polarity of the voltage to clean
calcium build up off its electrodes.

The Electrochlor’s electrodes, the anode and cathode and hold an electrical potential difference
between them for a designated period of time. This difference is reversed after that period of time
has expired and then the anode becomes the cathode and the cathode becomes the anode.

The reversing of polarity or electrical potential difference will then start to remove any calcium
build-up, which may have been deposited onto the cathode.

This continuous reversing of polarity will keep the cell clean from calcium deposits during its

operation, providing the chemical balance and ow of the pool water thru the cell is maintained

within normal parameters.

It is recommended that you obtain regular water chemistry tests from your local pool professional
to ensure your water balance is within range.

The Electrochlor chlorinators must operate between the salt level ranges listed below.

SALT LEVELS

MINIMUM = 5000 ppm OPTIMUM = 6000ppm MAXIMUM = 6500ppm

Testing kits are available from the local pool professional and should be used to accurately check
the salt levels in the pool water.

The Electrochlor’s salt cell consists of a series of titanium
electrodes with opposite charges. Electrochlor’s clear
salt cell housing allows visual inspection of the salt cell
plates and enables monitoring of chlorine production.

The cell housing is constructed using clear U.V.
stabilized acrylic. Both anode and cathode of the
self-clean chlorinator are made from uniquely coated
titanium mesh to add extra durability and life.
