Page 10: General Overview
VX7T SALT CHLORINE GENERATOR 1.0 GENERAL OVERVIEW Congratulations! You have purchased a VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator. Please read the instructions carefully and your purchase will provide you with years of trouble free use. Your VX7T Salt Chlorine Generator works by converting some of the salt in your pool into chlorine which starts to destroy algae and bacteria in your pool water thereby sanitizing your pool. - Page 11 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 control unit and the pool outlet, it is essential that they cannot deadhead the pump. If the pressure in the cell exceeds 150kPa (22 psi) and/or the water temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), the cell may fail.

in the cell—the posts fit into the corresponding color keyed sockets on the connector end of the cell housing. The cable is designed to come from below the cell. Make sure wing nuts are correctly tightened to ensure good contact. 1.3 POOL PREPARATION The chlorinator requires a minimum 3000 ppm of salt but the recommended level is 4000 ppm therefore add 4 kg (8.8 lbs) of salt for every 1000 L (265 gal) of water (a typical pool of around 50 000 L (13,210 gal) requires 200 kg (441 lbs) of salt). - Page 13 Once programmed, you will generally only use the User Mode and Chlorine Output control.
