THE CHROME SALT WATER CHLORINATION SYSTEM Congratulations on your choice of CHROME salt water chlorinator system for your swimming pool. The CHROME salt water chlorinator you have purchased is designed for easy and simplistic operation and maintenance. By following these instructions you are assured years of trouble free operation. -
Page 5: Water Balance
Using only refined swimming pool salt add the desired quantity to the swimming pool water. To assist in the rapid dissolving and mixing, sweep or brush the solids until they are fully dissolved. Undissolved salt may result in staining your pool finish. As salt is heavier than water it will continue to lie at the deepest point of your pool, even though the salt granules themselves have fully dissolved. - Page 6 SPECIAL NOTE ON CHLORINE: Your salt water chlorinator is not designed to bring your pool from a zero chlorine reading to an acceptable level but rather to maintain acceptable levels. Should it become necessary due to unforeseen circumstances (such as the unlikely event of chlorinator malfunction, severe weather patterns, or massive use of the swimming pool) that you find your pool requires additional chlorine then chlorine should be manually added rather than running your filter and chlorinator excessively to replace the lost chlorine.

GAS TRAP INSTALLATION Fig. 2 GAS SENSOR GAS TRAP EXAMPLE GAS TRAP IN IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION • Each Electrode housing contains a sensor that detects gas presence. If water was to stop flowing and the chlorine generator continue running, chlorine gas pressure will build up CARTRIGE in the housing and pipe work and cause damages. -

Page 17: Important Note
Set your chlorine controller to achieve maximum and optimum results for your pool situation. Please remember that an over chlorinated pool is not a healthy pool, so it may not be necessary for you to run your chlorinator at maximum output to maintain recommended chlorine levels. Your CHROME salt water chlorinator is fitted with a sophisticated electronic circuit board which is designed to minimise the need for manual operations and maximise cell life by constantly managing the correct operation of the power supply and electrolytic cells. - Page 18 CLEANING THE ELECTROLYTIC CELLS From time to time it will become necessary to clean calcium and other deposits that will form on the chlorinator electrolytic cell plates. Cleaning maintenance of the cells will vary from one pool to the next depending on water conditions and calcium build up rate on the electrodes. Cleaning times will also vary from model to model.
- Page 19 position. You are now ready to resume filter and chlorination operations. REMEMBER a clean electrolytic cell will extend the cell life as well as producing maximum chlorine without the necessity of running the power supply at continually higher settings. By keeping your cell in a clean state at all times you are effectively safe guarding your investment and maximizing the cell life of your salt water chlorinator SPECIAL NOTE ON CLEANING CELLS...
