  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DELIVERY All products and packaging, even those delivered carriage paid, travel at the risk of the recipient. Persons responsible for accepting delivery of the device must perform a visual inspection to note any damage that may have occurred during transportation. Any damage during transportation must be noted by the recipient on the delivery receipt of the transporter and confirmed by registered post sent to the transporter within 48 hours.
  • Page 5: How It Works

    HOW IT WORKS Salt chlorination of a pool works by using salt electrolysis to disinfect the water; this electrochemical process converts the salt present in the water into a disinfectant (hypochlorite ions). Once this process is complete, hypochlorite turns back into salt after coming into contact with organic material (bacteria, cells) or under the effect of UV rays or other sources of light, starting the cycle over again.
  • Page 6: Operating Limits

    OPERATING LIMITS As with any pool, it’s important that the filtration time is long enough to maintain a good chemical balance in the pool water, including pH, alkalinity and calcium levels. The only special requirement to use a salt chlorinator is maintaining proper levels of salt and stabiliser.
  • Page 7: Features

    The compact size of the chlorinator and its integrated control panel allows for easy installation and a smaller footprint. The water inlet and outlet are on the same axis, reducing the need to rearrange piping. Poolex SEL-in Model Maximum volume treated (m3)
  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION Prior to installation, please verify the following: Ensure the electricity and water circulation system are switched off, and close the valves on the pipes connected to the chlorinator. Ensure any pipes used (not supplied) are compatible with the chlorinator. Dimensions of the 2 types of connectors supplied: OPTION 1: 1.5”...
  • Page 9 INSTALLATION If you want to insert the chlorinator into an existing pipe (or fit on to a pipe), you must cut out a section measuring 230mm in length. 230mm CASE 2 : Using D38mm or D32 pipe: When using this type of pipe, another length of pipe, minimum 50cm (not supplied), equivalent to the one in place must be added to the outlet of the filter;...
  • Page 10 INSTALLATION The power supply of the salt chlorinator must be connected to a separate power source equipped with a 30mA residual current device, sheltered from the rain and at least 3.5 m away from the pool. In the event of tripping the residual current device, check system integrity before resetting. In case of doubt, contact a professional.
  • Page 11: Before Use

    BEFORE USE Adding salt IMPORTANT: Before adding salt, ALWAYS perform a test to measure the pre-existing salt levels (test strips or electronic tester). Only use salt which complies with European standard EN 16401 to extend service life and improve efficiency of the chlorinator cell. DO NOT ADD chemical products or salt directly into the skimmer.

  • Page 14: Selecting Operating Modes

    Selecting operating modes IMPORTANT: The chlorinator will only function when water flow is detected, i.e., when the filtration system is switched on. Filtration time must therefore be sufficiently long for the selected operating mode (preferably one time slot per day during periods of strong sunlight). Reminder: use the following formula to determine the best setting Filtration time = (T°...
  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: If the water has turned green after winterizing your pool, or during periods of extremely high temperatures, the chlorinator alone will not be sufficient to clear up green water. Intermittent use of chlorine tablets may be necessary. Do not put the chlorine tablets directly into the skimmer;...
  • Page 16 TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: If you split your daily filtration time into multiple time slots, we recommend the slot used for treatment is sufficiently long to cover the entire length of the treatment. These are preset modes and will restart daily at their selected time. Check that the parameters of the water are correct (salinity, stabiliser level, pH and if necessary hardness and alkalinity) Check that the water flow rate is sufficient (>...
  • Page 17 TROUBLESHOOTING Error Description Comments Solutions code of error - If the water temperature of your pool is below 10°C, consider winterizing your device. The normal operating - If the water temperature of your pool is above 45°C, switch Water temperature is outside of range for water off the chlorinator and wait for the temperature to drop to the...
  • Page 18: Cleaning The Cell

    TROUBLESHOOTING Cleaning the cell To maintain optimal performance of your chlorinator, the cell should be inspected at least once every 3-4 months (there should be no debris obstructing the flow sensor or between the electrode plates). The cell has a self-cleaning function which uses reverse polarity. In most cases, this self-cleaning function will keep the cell operating efficiently and will prevent formation of scale deposits.
  • Page 19: Replacing The Cell

    TROUBLESHOOTING Replacing the cell Once the titanium plates inside the chlorinator cell have reached the end of their service life (after around 10,000h), they can be replaced. To guarantee quality and value, only use original spare parts. If necessary, bypass tubes can be used to allow water to continue circulating in the pipework once the cell has been removed.
  • Page 20: Useful Tips

    USEFUL TIPS General principles Correct operation of the chlorinator can be easily verified by checking the lights on the control panel. However, if the pool remains cloudy and tests show low levels of residual chlorine, the chlorine produced may have been lost due to high chlorine demand or improper water conditions. To reduce chlorine demand: Check pH levels (between 7.0 and 7.4) Check stabiliser levels (Cyanuric Acid) are between 20 to 50 ppm...
