of hypochlorous acid of 9.6 kg/day is more representative of typical conditions.
For swimming pools, a range of 1-3 ppm of free available chlorine must be maintained.

    Welcome to the luxury of a salt water swimming pool We are dedicated to providing you with the most luxurious pool water you have ever experienced, as well as the most reliable product and solid after-sales service you could hope for. Reading this Guide will help ensure that your ECO-matic generator functions correctly and efficiently, help avoid the expense of unnecessary service calls and make you aware of certain maintenance procedures which, if left undone, may void warranties offered by the manufacturer.

    General This system is not intended for outdoor installation. If a pump/filter room is not available, a shelter providing shade and weather protection will be necessary. Ple ase note that the installation area should be well ventilated and free of substances that could cause corrosion.

Please keep flow rate as close to the minimum as possible while not exceeding maximum flow stated in the table.
  • Page 9: Diagram: Simple Bypass Installation

    Simple Bypass Installation In this installation the bypass valve is partially closed to force water into the cell bypass and back to the pool return. This will increase the back pressure to the pool pump/filter but should not affect performance unless the pump/filter performance is already poor.
  • Page 10 The off-take should be after the cell, in the return line to avoid the possibility of air in the return line finding its way into the cell (see diagram page 7). The installation of a section of clear pipe before or after the Gas Sensor is be neficial in viewing water flow from the cell.
  • Page 11 This installation uses a pump to create flow in the Cell bypass. Note the recommended sample line and optional clear viewing pipe. Please also note that care must be taken at the suction point to avoid air entering the bypass. IMPORTANT: The Bypass Pump must be electrically interlocked to the main pool pump(s).
  • Page 12: Diagram: Gas Sensor & Pressure Switch Installation

    Gas Sensor and Pressure Switch Installation The Gas Sensor should be installed after the Cell in the following manner: NOTE: the Flow Sensor has a 50mm/2” BSP threaded end for fitting into the water line. The water line will be either 50mm/2”...
  • Page 13: Electrical Connections: Main Power / Cell Power

    The Pressure Switch must activate when the main pump(s) are on and de-activate when they are off (i.e. no water flow). It should be placed after the electrolytic cell. Placing the Pressure Switch at a bend is best: The thread fitting of the Pressure Switch is 3mm ( 1/8”) NPT and the unit can be sealed with Teflon thread tape. The switch should be placed so that water leaks do not interfere with the electrical switch;...
  • Page 14: Operation: Control Box Display

    The cell has connections both top and bottom. These protrude through the cell housing. You will find that the black and white cell cables are terminated in male plugs and brass blocks resembling terminal block mechanisms. Simply fit the brass blocks to the cell connections. Ensure that the connections are connected tightly. The male plugs should be inserted into their sockets on the right hand side of the bottom panel of the Power Supply.
  • Page 15 Connecting the Chemistry Controller - External Control EXTERNAL CONTROL is a means of controlling the unit’s operation from an external Chemistry Controller. The External Control LED will be Red to show that the external controller has the Cell Power turned Off. Green shows the Cell Power is turned On and that the external controller has energized the unit.
  • Page 16 Inside the lower portion of the Power Supply is a plastic enclosure with a clear cover. Inside the enclosure is the Power Supply Control PCBA. It has a number of switches and displays that represent the operation of the Power Supply. The operation of these Power Supply sub-systems will be described.
  • Page 17: Operation: Switches

    Temperature Indicator Displays the temperature of the water passing the Cell (in degrees Celsius). This temperature is monitored and used by the Control Box to adjust the unit’s operation (see Winter Mode and High and Low Temperature Shutdown). The temperature sensor is integrated into the Gas Sensor fitting. Operation Switches - Control the Cell Power - Cell Power is not applied RESET...
  • Page 18: Water Conductivity

    where the water temperature is dropping the unit should be operated in Winter Mode as low temperatures can cause these alarms to operate. For more information read “Water Conductivity”. Low Temperature Shutdown Will be Blue if the water temperature falls below 10 - 12ºC (50 - 54°F). Cell Power is tu rned off to protect the cell.
  • Page 19: Winter Mode

    Please note that the Low Conductivity and Low Conductivity Shutdown are not like T.D.S. meters, which are temperature compensated Scientific Instruments. Their ac curacy will be within 500ppm salinity and they are water temperature dependent, just as the Cell is. WINTER MODE When the Cell draws elect rical current from the Power Supply, the amount of current drawn is dependent upon a number of factors.
  • Page 20 • Note: Fill water can have existing salt level. Test with Conductivity Meter (iv) Backwash the filters and add the salt by dumping it along the deep end of the pool. DO NOT load all the salt into one area, as it will take longer to dissolve. During the time the salt is dissolving, do not backwash the filters.
  • Page 21: Possible Chemistry Problems

    (ii) Phosphates: should be less than (<) 200 ppb (Parts per billion) Phosphates are food for algae and will increase chlorine consumption thus shortening cell life if present in water. Remove phosphates with Saltline approved Phosphate Remover. Possible Chemistry Problems The use of sulphate containing chemicals may promote the production of oxygen compounds at the cell, which can lead to slightly lower chlorine production, and the production of chemicals which can adversely affect ORP probes.
  • Page 22: Maintenance: Cleaning The Cell

    CLEANING THE CELL 1. Turn off Power to unit and isolate & drain by-pass line 2. Drain water from cell with drain valve 3. Remove union at top of cell and inspect cell using flashlight 4. If build up is present, (do not use pressure wash). Mix a solution consisting of 20% Muriatic Acid and water.
