1. INTRODUCTION We thank you for your purchase of an Atecpool chlorinator. Atecpool chlorinators are manufactured following the strictest quality controls using the most advanced technology of electrolysis resulting from our many years of swimming pool industry experience . With minimum maintenance and following elementary rules for installation and use, you will enjoy an extremely efficient device for many years.

4 INSTALLATION Chlorinator Control Unit Mount the control unit on a wall using the bracket on the back and the screws provided. Choose a place for easy access and reading. The control unit can only be placed at a maximum of 1.5 meters away from the electrolytic cell due to cable length.

If an automatic pH regulation system has been installed, the injection of the acid must take place unconditionally after the cell. Otherwise, the electrodes will corrode due to the acid contact and the warranty will be void. Do not place the acid tank near the chlorinator with insufficient ventilation as the gases will corrode the electronic components quickly.
Cell Insert the cell in the cell housing making sure that its open side window is pointing to the side water inlet. Make sure the O-ring is fitted correctly and tighten the thread. Then, connect the cell cable connector to the cell terminals. Verify that the connector is orientated so that its small hole is aligned with the thin pin on the cell before trying to plug the connector.
6. ADDING SALT The chlorinator must remain OFF during this operation and until the additive is completely dissolved. Operating the chlorinator with non dissolved salt could irreversibly damage the cell and the power supply, and lead to a void of the warranty. Calculate the volume of the swimming pool and add 5 to 6 Kg of salt per cubic meter.
7. OPERATION The chlorinator and its different menus are controlled with a four key keypad. Three of these keys, Λ , MENU and OK, also have a secondary function accessible by pressing and holding down the corresponding key for 2 seconds NOTE: At some points of activity or during a change of function the keyboard may seem as it is not responding immediately.
7.2 SHOCK FUNCTION The shock function allows you to apply a shock treatment (chlorinator at 100%) for a selectable period of time with automatic return to the previous production rate once the shock period has ended. This feature is useful if the chlorine level has fallen suddenly for some reason and you want to recover it quickly.

frequently. We recommend, in general, to set this period to the larger number of hours as long as there is not calcium build-up on the electrodes. To change the polarity period, go to the production screen and press MENU. Press the Λ...

10. RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS The bipolar cells of your Atecpool chlorinator have been manufactured using an exclusive technique and rigorous quality controls conferring extraordinary duration and resistance. However, there are several factors that may irreversibly reduce the properties of any electrode that you should avoid in order to obtain the best performance and longest lifespan of your chlorinator.
11. MANUAL CELL CLEANING Your Atecpool chlorinator is provided with a self -cleaning polarity change system that in normal conditions eliminates maintenance work. However, in exceptional cases, when the calcium concentration is very high (very hard water, old concrete pools), polarity change may not be enough to completely eliminate the calcium build up.
Spare parts Atecpool have spare parts available at your disposal via a network of pool shops around the world. The use of non-original parts or the manipulation of the equipment by personnel not authorised by Atecpool may cause serious problems to your chlorinator and will void the warranty.
