IMPORTANT NOTICE:
FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE & LIFE OF YOUR SALT WATER CHLORINATOR
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR CHLORINATOR
POOL BUILDERS: Please cover this information with your customer during the new pool “Hand over
Session”
Salt Water Chlorinators are a valuable piece of pool sanitising equipment and must be cared for to get the
best performance and life span from it.
There are THREE main factors that will damage your chlorinator 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: 4500-6000ppm
NOTE: ABOVE GROUND POOL MODELS ONLY: 2500ppm
• Run chlorinator at the Salt Levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure
optimum sanitiser output and cell life.
• Operating this device at low salt levels will damage the cell and reduce its life.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warnings 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 CHLORINATOR CELL:
EcoSalt™ has a “Reverse Polarity” cell.
• To keep your salt water chlorinator in the best possible condition, regular monitoring of the electrolytic
cell is recommended. The ‘Cell’ is the clear plastic housing containing the removable cell head.
• 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 efficiency and lifespan.
• Reverse Polarity models have low maintenance cells that minimise scale build up.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warning when the cell requires cleaning.
• If Calcium scale builds up please clean the cell, following the cleaning instructions provided on page 11.
• 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 your cell
3. BALANCED POOL WATER CHEMISTRY:
• Salt levels MUST be maintained at 4500-6000ppm for optimum performance and lifespan
(NOTE: Above ground pool models: 2500ppm)
• 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 sanitiser effectiveness.
• Total Alkalinity and Stabiliser levels must also be kept in an ideal range.
Note: Please refer to the RECOMMENDED POOL WATER CHEMISTRY chart on page 13 for more
information.
