SALT WATER CHLORINATORS – INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
An introduction to salt water chlorination.
Salt water chlorination is the healthy alternative to chlorinating your swimming
pool, the natural way.
Very simply, coarse salt is added to your pool to form a mildly saline solution.
The salinity is kept at a pleasantly comfortable level, being typically one fifth or
less than that of sea water.
The system works by producing chlorine in the unique SALINE BLUE cell in low
concentrations whenever the pump and filter is running, and as the filter runs
for many hours of the day, the pool's total chlorine demand will still be met,
even at these low concentrations.
With the SALINE BLUE system, chlorine is produced by electrolysis of the pool
water as it flows through the cell and returns to your pool.
A major advantage of the SALINE BLUE system is that the chlorine produced in
the cell has no effect on your pool's pH, total alkalinity or calcium hardness,
which is not the case with other chlorination methods, making it easier and less
costly for you, the pool owner, to keep your water in balance.
By automatically chlorinating your swimming pool this way, many of the
problems associated with other chlorination methods, are eliminated.
The process is safe, effective, economical, and healthy and requires only
minimum maintenance.

Summary of Contents for Saline Blue SBR50

  • Page 1 The salinity is kept at a pleasantly comfortable level, being typically one fifth or • less than that of sea water. The system works by producing chlorine in the unique SALINE BLUE cell in low • concentrations whenever the pump and filter is running, and as the filter runs for many hours of the day, the pool's total chlorine demand will still be met, even at these low concentrations.
  • Page 2 Introduction to the Saline Blue Cell Ease of installation - unions both ends. • Improved linear water flow within the cell. • Lower replacement costs. • Extended cell life with no knife edge erosion. • Virtually Zero maintenance. • Clear housing allows easy monitoring of electrodes & chlorine production.
  • Page 3 Soft-start capability to protect electrode coating at switch-on and at polarity • reversal. Advanced reversal circuitry which: • Remembers its 'run' status even without power Ensures maximum electrode protection during the reversal sequence Monitors pool water environment to maximise Chlorine production & cell life. Should water environment be detrimental to cell life, the unit will shut down.

    Typical Installations The Saline Blue Salt Chlorinator Control Box 1. Mount the control box vertically, preferably out of direct sunlight and out of the direct path of any irrigation system. Make sure any plant room or filtration box is well ventilated so as to avoid condensation, especially if other chemicals are also stored in it.
  • Page 5 The Saline Blue Salt Chlorinator Cell 1. Install the cell as shown in the accompanying diagrams using the pipe work to create a 'gas trap'.
  • Page 6: Calculation Table

    Adding salt to your pool Adding salt may be needed from time to time to maintain an optimum salt level. • Use a salt test strip to determine the salt level in the pool water prior to adding • any salt, or ask your local pool shop to test it for you. Use the table below to calculate the quantity of salt required to adjust the pool •...
  • Page 7 If the red lights stay illuminated with adequate salt levels in the swimming pool, then the cell requires replacing. If the Saline Blue chlorinator is operated in unfavorable conditions the cell • protect and salt low light will light up and the unit may switch off.
  • Page 8 3 - 6 hours, i.e., a total of 6 - 12 hours or more per day. If it is necessary to operate the Saline Blue salt water chlorinator only during the • daytime, then the addition of stabilizer is recommended.

    To clean your cell: Turn off pump and SALINE BLUE chlorinator, and turn the multiport valve to the "closed" position. To remove the cell: Unscrew the two unions and remove the cell assembly. It should not be necessary to disconnect the cables. Carefully remove any debris from the strainer, by hand, or by flushing with a hosepipe.
  • Page 10 Regular pool maintenance checks Weekly checks: Visually check the cell electrodes. Only if necessary, remove the cell and flush • with a garden hose to remove any debris that may have passed through the filter and lodged in the cell housing. Avoid inserting objects into the cell which can scratch or bend the cell plates.

    It is an automatic, electronic device that generates chlorine from salt (on-site- • electrolytic-chlorination) The SALINE BLUE salt water chlorinator consists of a cell, where the chlorine is • produced, and a power pack, which supplies regulated power to the cell.
  • Page 13 • of salt added at start-up, annually. What will happen if my salt level is too high? Nothing at all. SALINE BLUE salt chlorinators are overload and short circuit proof • and will not be damaged at any salt level.
  • Page 14 How do I know when to add salt? It's easy! Simply check the status of the 'Salt Low'' indicator on the SALINE BLUE • power pack and top up with salt when the indicator is illuminated.
