THE PIXIE™ SALTWATER CHLORINATION SYSTEM Congratulations on your choice of a Pixie™ saltwater chlorinator system for your swimming pool. The Pixie™ saltwater 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 CHLORINE GENERATOR INSTALLATION FITTING THE CHLORINATOR CELL HOUSING The Pixie™ cell housing must be plumbed into the return line of the pool fi lter system after the fi lter and any diversion valves.

Page 6: Installing The Power Supply
INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY The Pixie™ power supply should be mounted on a wall using the fi ttings supplied. We recommend using the supplied mounting template provided to affi x the wall plugs and mounting screws. The power supply should then slip into the keyhole slots on the rear of the unit. It is preferable that the power supply is mounted in a location where it is protected from accidental water spray and inclement weather. - Page 7 RAISING THE SALINITY OF A NEW POOL For best results the salt concentration in the pool water is required to be within an average range of approximately 4,000 to 5,500 parts per million (ppm). These fi gures are temperature dependant. In summertime, as water temperatures rise, salt levels may require slight reduction while in wintertime the reverse may be true to allow optimum performance of your unit.
- Page 8 GENERAL CHLORINATOR OPERATION Before switching on your Pixie™ saltwater chlorination system please ensure that you have added the correct amount of pool salt, it has fully dissolved and is distributed throughout the pool water. Ensure that the base pool chemistry is at the recommended levels and the pool water is clean and crystal clear (see Water Balance Section).
- Page 9 CHLORINATOR RUNNING TIMES Chlorinator running times will vary from pool to pool and are dependent upon the situation they are installed into, pool size and the overall usage of the pool in general. We recommend 2 hours break for every 4 hours of operation to prolong life of the power supply. The chlorinator should not be run for more than 10 hours continuously.
- Page 10 CHLORINE OUTPUT INDICATOR (FIG. 1, ITEM 6) Your power supply is fi tted with ten green indicator lights set in an arc shaped formation. During operation of your chlorinator these lights will illuminate relevant to the degree at which the chlorine controls have been adjusted. Working in conjunction with the chlorine controller you can increase or decrease chlorine output to suit your pool’s requirements.

CIRCUIT BREAKER The circuit breaker is designed to trip out in the event of a power surge or power overload. When tripped the centre button will pop out shutting down the unit to prevent damage. To reset, depress circuit breaker until a click is heard. ON/OFF SWITCH –... - Page 13 Start and stop times are set by pushing the black pins out for on and inward for off. For example, to turn the chlorinator on between 6 pm and 10 pm, push all the pins outwards between 18 and 22. The remainder of the pins should be pushed inwards. With the elements pushed outwards the timer will turn your equipment on when they reach the black indicators.
