Introduction Salt Chlorinator - Pentair CFIGGEN20 User Manual

Introduction: CFICGEN Salt
Chlorinator
The CFICGEN chlorine generator, by electrolysis, creates chlorine to
sanitize your pool from the salt molecules (NaCl) in your water. A small
electric charge is applied across a set of titanium plates inside the
Electrolytic Cell. This produces Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl). In water,
Sodium Hypochlorite dissociates into sodium (NA+) and hypochlorite
(OCl-) ions. It is the hypochlorite ions that form with the hydrogen (H+)
ions (from the water) to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is the
active agent that destroys bacteria and algae and oxidizes organic matter.
This form of chlorine works quickly in the pipe, leaving only a mild
residual in the pool. In addition, the Electrolytic Cell continuously
"shocks" the incoming water- burning off any oils, organic matter, or other
particles that need to be oxidized.
Best of all, the process continuously recycles the salt: after cleaning the
pool, the original molecules reform and the whole process begins again.
The salt doesn't get used up!
The CFICGEN CHLORINATOR CONSISTS OF A CELL UNIT
AND A POWER CENTER:
The cell unit with LED screen readings, buttons, temperature sensor, and
salt level sensor are used to produce chlorine at the defined output.
If the salt level in the pool water is too low or too high, the Red LED will
illuminate, the cell will remain turned off until salt or water is added to
the pool.
The CFICGEN has a built-in self-cleaning cycle.
CFICGEN includes:
Flow sensor
Temperature sensor
Salt sensor
