Zodiac C-Series Chlorinator owners Manual
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on having purchased a Zodiac C Series Saltwater Chlorinator for your pool or spa. You have
made a wise decision and you will benefit from your chlorinator for many years to come. There are two
major benefits in owning a Zodiac Saltwater Chlorinator. The first is that you will save hundreds of dollars
which you otherwise would have to spend on sanitizing chemicals for your pool or spa. Not only do you save
money, but an even greater benefit which you will experience is the remarkable clarity of the water, and the
pleasure and exhilaration of bathing in slightly salty water. By following just a few simple steps, your pool or
spa will be a thing of beauty and pleasure, and will win the admiration of your family and friends.
Please take the time to read through your Zodiac Owner's Manual. It is set out in such a way that you can
see the simple steps to keep your pool or spa in sparkling clean condition. If you would like to know more
about how your new chlorinator works, or about water chemistry matters, you will find that this owner's
manual will provide you with useful information.
And don't forget that your chlorinator is backed by a comprehensive warranty. The exclusive Zodiac
warranty is an expression of the confidence that Zodiac Group Australia Pty Ltd has in its products, and is
your re-assurance of prompt and expert after-sales service by professional technicians.
Thank you again for choosing a Zodiac Saltwater Chlorinator. We wish you many happy years of bathing in
your "Zodiac" pool or spa. For more information talk to your local pool shop or telephone Zodiac Group

(See Problem J) For a typical home pool of about 60,000 litres, addition of one 25kg bag of salt will increase the Zodiac Saltwater Chlorinator meter reading by about 10%. -
Page 3: Salt - When And How To Add It
For the 500 models, the salt concentration should normally be around 5,500 ppm, but as with other Zodiac models no less than 3,000 ppm. Salt is not lost through evaporation. Salt is lost with the water splashed out of the pool, or lost during backwash. -
Page 4: Some Tips On Water Chemistry
SOME TIPS ON WATER CHEMISTRY pH IS VERY IMPORTANT Do not confuse pH with total alkalinity. pH is a simple numerical scale which expresses the acid/alkaline balance of water. A pH value of “7” denotes neutrality, i.e. neither acid nor alkaline. High pH values (i.e. above “7”) denotes alkaline conditions. - Page 5 Water looks clean but no chlorine RESIDUAL reading: To test for chlorine residual, switch on the filtration system and turn the Zodiac Saltwater Chlorinator to maximum output. (If the output is less than 80%, See Problem J) After a few minutes take a water sample from one of the points where filtered water returns to the pool.

CHLORINATOR MAINTENANCE How To Clean Your Cell i) Switch off the filter pump and chlorinator and disconnect from the power outlet, close necessary valves. ii) Unplug the leads from the cell terminals. iii) Unscrew the large ribbed plastic nut, and carefully withdraw the electrodes. iv) Direct a fast water jet from the garden hose onto electrode to clean. - Page 9 DAMAGE CAUSED BY INSECTS The case of the Zodiac Saltwater Chlorinator power pack has small air vents to allow internal components to remain cool in hot weather.
