CONNECTING THE ELECTROLYTIC CELL TO THE POWER SUPPLY:
The EcoSalt™ uses a reverse polarity electrolytic cell for low maintenance operation.
The EcoSalt™ Power Supply is fitted with a flexible lead terminated with connectors. These must be correctly
fitted to the connections on the underside of the cell. Fit black connectors to the outer titanium rods. Fit the
white connector to the middle titanium rod. The blue flow sensor should be pushed onto the thread of the
small threaded bolt on the top of the cell.
The power outlet on the bottom of the power supply is dedicated to the PUMP ONLY.

IMPORTANT: Water must touch the gas sensor in the cell for correct operation. This can be
achieved by fitting the cell as shown in the installation diagram on page 4.

PRE - START UP PROCEDURE:

Before operating your EcoSalt™ please ensure the following items have been added to your pool:

SALT - Load salt into the pool at the rate of around 45-60kg per 10,000 litres to achieve a recommended
salt level of 4500 - 6000ppm. (Note: Above ground pool models only: At a rate of 25kg per 10,000 litres to
achieve a recommended salt level of 2500ppm).
Connect manual vacuum system and slowly vacuum until salt dispersal is complete. Place vacuum head into
deepest end of pool and allow vacuum to continue for a further 2 or 3 hours. Salt should now be completely
mixed. Never add salt directly into skimmer box.

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), or run the chlorinator system continuously
for at least 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 30 - 50 ppm at all
times. Do not exceed 100 ppm.

(Refer Day to Day Operation page 11 for further information).

OPERATION OF YOUR ECOSALT

SYSTEM:

Cell Output is expressed as a percentage. Set the system control to the percentage output required and the
unit will automatically adjust the cell output to the set level. The Unit is fitted with an electronic control and
warning system. This regulates the output of the Unit to the preset maximum and changes cell polarity as
indicated by POLARITY LEDs A&B. These LEDs will alternate over a number of hours or days depending on
how the unit is set to operate. The warning system consists of one Operation LED which will glow Green to
indicate normal operation or RED to indicate possible faults with the Unit or damaging operating conditions.

Do not use a double adaptor to connect more than one pump - it can cause overload to the system

and could void your warranty.
