Page 7: Preparing The Swimming Pool
PREPARING THE SWIMMING POOL Adding salt to the water To ensure that the chlorinator works correctly, a small amount of salt should be added and the pH level should be suitable. The recommended salt and pH levels are the following: Salt Concentration Salt Concentration (Range) -
Page 8: Chemical Balance Of The Water
2. PREPARING THE SWIMMING POOL Chemical balance of the water The effectiveness of chlorination and the quality of water for healthy bathing, depends largely on the pH of the water. Therefore, it should be checked regularly and adjusted as necessary. There are other parameters which should be considered for the correct operation of the salt water chlorinator. -

- Page 23 4. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS Semi-automatic Select this mode only if you have a temperature probe kit (optional). If you do not have one, the equipment will not operate correctly in the semi-automatic mode. This work mode enables you to determine the daily hours of operation of the salt water chlorinator based on the volume in m3 of the pool and the water temperature.
- Page 24 4. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS 4.3.6 Cover The equipment may detect the presence of a cover on the swimming pool (only for auto- matic covers). In this case, it is only necessary to place the limit switch of the cover in the terminal block, as indicated in the section on electrical installation.
- Page 25 4. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS If the cell is installed horizontally instead of vertically, the flow switch must be used. In the horizontal installation, gas may escape preventing the gas sensor from functioning. In the vertical installation of the cell, the gas sensor will function to shut off chlorine production in the event of a pump malfunction and as such the flow switch is not necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING Warning messages and alarms In the event of abnormal operation, the Posi-Chlor® will display an alarm message on the 4th line of the screen, together with an acoustic warning. The alarms shut-down the equipment until the problem is solved. Similarly, it will display a warning also in the 4th line, but without an acoustic signal or shut- ting down the equipment. - Page 33 5. TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1.2 Additional Warning Messages Message: Causes: Action required: The ORP or free chlorine probe are balanced in automatic ORP or PPM value is flashing None. mode. When the probe is balanced, the value remains set. The pH probe is balancing. pH value is flashing When the probe is balanced, the None.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING Operation time It may be useful to see the operation times for regular maintenance operations. From the main screen, press both buttons at the same time. Electrolysis cell life The electrolysis cells from our units are designed to reach a lifespan of 10.000 hours. However, this lifespan is directly related with the quality of the water and specially with the correct use of the equipment. -
Page 36: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Carefully follow the recommendations and safety warnings detailed in section 1.4 of this manual. The chlorinator has a self-cleaning system of the chlorination cell, which reduces maintenance considerably. In any event, it is advisable to clean the cell and check the chlorine (ORP), free chlorine or pH probe if available. -
Page 37: Checking And Maintenance Of The Ph Probe
6. MAINTENANCE Recheck the value of the probe. A probe that gives an error lower than around 30 mV can continue to be used provisionally while it is replaced. Never leave the probe outside. If the probe has been dry for a time, it can be regenerated with the hydrochloric acid solution. -
