Hayward Saline C HCSC60EU User Manual page 22

This system produces free chlorine from the salt that you have added to the water. It will only continue to operate correctly if salt is maintained
at a minimum 3.5 g/l level.
NOTICE: Low salt will lower the amount of chlorine produced, and cause damage to the electrolytic cell. The warranty will be void if the cell is
damaged due to a low salt condition. Electrode life will be lengthened by keeping them clean and ensuring salt levels are at the correct level (see
below).
Remember, the titanium plates that make up the cell are the most expensive part of the system and are going to need to be replaced roughly every
15 000 hours of operating time. By ensuring that salt is always at the correct level, and plates are cleaned regularly, you will increase their life.
1. Check salt concentration. Salt must be maintained at no less than 3.5 g/l. Check salt as often as necessary to ensure at least
3.5 g/l concentration. Salt concentration can be measured by using one or more of the following methods:
•
Salt test strips. Salt test strips are accurate as long as the expiration date has not expired and the cap is always replaced immediately.
Follow the directions on the bottle.
•
A variety of hand held testers could be used. Hand held testers must be calibrated regularly, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
•
Salt can be measured with a permanently mounted monitor or controller. These are typically accurate and require no calibration.
A controller can be used to automatically keep the salt concentration at the desired level.
•
Adjust the salt concentration as often as needed to maintain the desired level.
2. Test the flow switch for proper operation at least once a month.
3. Evaluate the cell condition every week. Visually inspect the cell tube for leaks and the cell stack for calcium build up.
4. The vessel is equipped with a drain plug for service. To drain the vessel, follow the procedure outlined below:
•
Disconnect power to the system
•
Close isolation valves to and from the vessel
•
Open the top of the vessel and remove the electrode stack
•
Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the vessel.
5. Clean the cell when it needs it. Refer to the following instructions:
The Saline C system is designed to operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week at maximum production rates. Please ensure the basic
maintenance and cleaning instructions are followed to guarantee performance.
•
CAUTION
damage: Wear eye and skin protection while maintaining or servicing this unit. Do not inhale fumes from the unit.
•
Remove power from the system.
•
Close the isolation valves before and after the vessel.
•
Disconnect the blue connector between the power supply and vessel.
•
Remove the electrode stack by following these steps:
1) Open the lid of the vessel by turning counter clockwise.
2) When the lid meets resistance and stops turning, pull up on the black cables which will release the blue glamour cap.
3) Once the blue glamor cap has been released, continue turning the vessel handles counter clockwise until completely loose.
4) Remove the complete electrode stack assembly by pulling on the black cables.
•
In a clean plastic container, mix a 4:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid). ALWAYS ADD
ACID TO WATER - NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and appropriate eye protection.
•
Immerse the cell stack in the solution.
•
Leave the cell in the muriatic acid mix until the solution stops bubbling and the cell is clean.
•
Rinse the unit with clear clean water.
•
Reassemble the cell stack in the tube and reconnect the cables to the top of the cell stack
•
Once finished, insert the electrode stack assembly into the vessel and reconnect the blue connector to the power supply.
•
Turn the handles of the vessel clockwise until tight, and then push down on the blue glamour cap to avoid water from entering the top of
the cell.
