GENERAL OVERVIEW Congratulations! You have purchased a quality Filtrite CX series salt chlorinator. Please read the instructions carefully and your purchase will provide you with years of trouble free use. Your Filtrite chlorinator works by converting some of the salt in your pool into chlorine which starts to destroy algae, bacteria and viruses in your pool water thereby sanitising your pool.
CELL INSTALLATION The chlorinator cell must be located last in the pipe work just prior to the return to the pool. If valves are installed between the Chlorinator and the pool outlet, it is essential that they cannot deadhead the pump. If the pressure in the cell exceeds 150kPa and/or the water temperature exceeds 40 degrees C, the cell may fail.
POOL PREPARATION The chlorinator requires a minimum 3,000ppm of salt but the recommended level is 4,000ppm therefore add 4kg’s of salt for every 1000 litres of water (a typical pool of around 50,000 litres requires 200kg of salt). Salt should always be added at the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve. Running the pump will mix the water and speed the dissolving process.

WARNINGS DISPLAY Apart from messages displayed on the User display, there are two warning indicators. (a) LOW SALT: This indicates that the concentration of salt has reduced within you pool. To rectify, visit your local Clark Rubber Pool & Spa shop with a water test and they will guide you on the correct amount of salt to add. (b) NO FLOW: This indicates that the chlorinator thinks that there is no flow to the cells.
SAFETY BACKWASH When backwashing your sand filter, the pool water does not pass through the cell. During the backwash and rinse process, many chlorinators might build up potentially explosive hydrogen gas in the chlorinator cell. The Safety Backwash function allows the pump to turn on without applying power to the chlorinator cell. This prevents the build up of hydrogen gas during the back wash and rinse process.
GENERAL OPERATION / POOL CHEMISTRY Setting the right chlorine output and filtration time Your Filtrite chlorinator must be run every day to ensure that your pool is correctly sanitised. As the sun dissipates chlorine, running times are higher in the summer compared to the winter. It is recommend that you initially run you chlorinator at maximum output Summer Operation You should set your chlorinator to operate for 8 to 10 hours per day.
CHLORINATOR MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Cell Maintenance Your Filtrite chlorinator has an automatic cleaning feature that under normal conditions, will keep the cell plates clear of deposits of salt and calcium.
Maintenance of your Chlorinator Maintenance Schedule: Performing these checks and maintenance will identify parts that have worn and require repair/replacement before further serious damage is sustained. A small amount of regular care and attention to your pool equipment will help ensure long life and trouble free performance. To protect against extremes of temperature, your unit is vented to allow expensive electronics to cool.
TROUBLESHOOTING Your Filtrite chlorinator has diagnostic and safety features to make it easy to maintain your system. The table below summarises potential faults and their causes.
