Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Installation Manual COMMON TERMS Algae Microscopic forms of plant life which enter the pool via rain, wind and dust. There are numerous varieties – some are free floating whilst others grow on walls and in cracks and come in different colours. Some are more resistant to chemical treatment than others.
Select a convenient, well-ventilated location within one metre of the filter equipment and mount the power supply vertically onto a wall, or post at least as wide as the HSMC power supply itself. Henden recommends that the power supply shall not be located within 3 metres of the pool water.
Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Installation Manual 1.3 Connecting the electrolytic cell to the power supply The HSMC uses a reverse polarity electrolytic cell for low maintenance operation. The HSMC power supply is fitted with a flexible lead terminated with the cell connectors built into a plastic moulding. The three in-line connectors are not “polarity sensitive”.
• 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). Alternatively, run the Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator continuously on BOOST MODE, for approximately 24 hours, or until a reading of 3 ppm is reached.
Sanitisers are a valuable piece of pool sanitising equipment and must be cared for to get the best performance and life span. There are THREE main factors that will damage your Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator and reduce the life of the product. Please monitor the following factors in accordance with your installation &...

Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Owners Manual 6.7 Activating winter mode A pool’s exposure to UV contributes significantly to the pool’s total chlorine demand ie. the amount of chlorine the pool uses. Bather load is also a significant contributor to the pool’s total chlorine demand. In winter, the pool’s chlorine demand is typically far less.

Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Owners Manual 6.16 Display alarm history The HSMC keeps a history log for the user that registers the number of hours during which the HSMC is in alarm mode. As a reminder, the cell life expectancy will be reduced if the HSMC is run with salt concentrations outside of the recommended range.
Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Owners Manual CELL RUN TIME Figure 6.52 > Press the menu up/down buttons to toggle between cell run time and low salt time. LOW SALT TIME Figure 6.53 7. MAINTENANCE OF POWER SUPPLY The power supply requires little, or no maintenance. However, it is essential that the wall or post to which the HSMC is installed be sprayed (not the HSMC itself) periodically with a good surface type insect repellent, since penetration by insects may cause damage, which is not covered by your warranty.
Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Owners Manual NOTE: In areas with hard water, even reverse polarity systems may require occasional manual cleaning. The life of the HSMC cell varies substantially from one installation to another due to variations in operating time, water quality and composition, system and cell maintenance.
If you run your Sanitiser on maximum output for 24 hours a day, or for longer periods, the cell life will be greatly reduced. It is important that the correct model HSMC has been installed on your pool. Many models are available from Henden to cope with small courtyard pools up to commercial size pools (Consult your local Reece Irrigation &...
134m 112m NOTE: The appropriate Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator for your pool is dependent on the local climate, bather load of the pool and running times. Please note that the HSMC cell life can be increased with shorter running times during winter and lower output settings. Henden recommends the HSMC be run for between 6 - 8 hours a day during summer, and 4 hours during winter.
