CHLORINE PRODUCTION LEVELS
The output of the chlorinator can be adjusted to reflect the different seasonal
requirements in order to maintain satisfactory chlorine sanitizer levels.
The amount of chlorine produced can be adjusted by pressing the CHLORINE
PRODUCTION CONTROL key. Press button to raise production. If production already
set at maximum it will turn to zero and each press will raise production by one LED
till MAX.
If the pool water is over chlorinated, simply reduce the chlorine production set level.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Salt Level
The Hydrochlor TS
®
chlorinators must operate between the salt level ranges listed
below.
• MINIMUM = 4000 ppm
• OPTIMUM = 5500 ppm
Testing kits are available from the local pool professional and should be used to
accurately check the salt levels in the pool water.
Figure 2
"OFF" Position
• MAXIMUM = 6000 ppm
Note: When the LED lights flash it is an indication of:
• Low salt level
• Low temperature or
• Cell plates wearing
If you don't know what your salt level is or how to test it, consult your local pool care
specialist.
Water Chemistry
It is important to maintain the correct water chemical balance in the swimming pool; this
will help protect the Hydrochlor chlorinator and its cell.
Consult the local pool professional for the correct water balance according to the
swimming pool type.
The Hydrochlor chlorinator will run correctly at the following chemistry levels
Range
pH.
7.2 – 7.8
Total alkalinity
60 – 200ppm
Calcium hardness
100 – 500ppm
Stabilizer (Sun screen)
30 – 60ppm
SALT CELL CLEANING PROCEDURE
a. Press the MODE key until OFF on the power pack, then turn the pump
and Hydrochlor to standby mode.
b. Unscrew the barrel unions from the salt cell and disconnect the cables
from the salt cell's brass connectors.
c. Turn the salt cell housing upside down with both ports facing upwards.
d. Pour the Cell Wash cleaning solution into the housing to dissolve the
calcium build-up from the salt cell plates. There should be just enough solution to cover the
salt cell plates.
e. Allow enough time for the solution to dissolve the calcium build-up from the salt cell plates.
Approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
f. Once the calcium build-up has been removed, pour out the Cell Wash solution into a bucket
and lightly rinse-off excess calcium and Cell Wash solution from the salt cell assembly, with
fresh water.
g. Reconnect the salt cell onto the filter system
h. Press the MODE button to AUTO or ON on the power pack to reactivate the Hydrochlor.
Never use products that are not specifically manufactured to clean the Hydrochlor TS
cell. Do not use raw acids such as Hydrochloric acid. This will damage the salt cell and severely
shortens its life and will void warranty. Please consult your local pool professional for advice on
salt cell cleaning products.
