Mounting the Pentair Onga FREEFLO Chlorinator power pack is done by either using the supplied

mounting bracket or directly hanging on the wall with screws. If mounting directly on the wall, use

the guide notches on the top vents to position the holes for installation. The chlorinator power pack

is to be mounted at least 800mm above ground level.

It is strongly recommended that the unit be installed where it is protected from the elements. Rain

and sunlight will prematurely age your unit. It should also be mounted in a position where it is away

from accidental water spray. The unit should be installed so that adequate air flow can circulate

freely around the power pack to allow the chimney drafting effect to perform efficiently.

All Pentair Onga FREEFLO Chlorinators are fitted with a 240v 10A power socket located on the right

hand underside of the power pack. Your pool pump should be plugged into this socket so that the

chlorinator and pump activate together when the timer switches on at the allocated time settings or

in a model without a timer the pump and chlorinator is controlled by the on/off switch. (7 in fig 7).

Failure to plug the pool pump into this socket could lead to the chlorinator staying on with no water

circulation. In case of water probe failure, over heating and a possible gas build up may occur.

Please see fig.7 below in regards to function control.

1. Chlorine Output LEDs - If the correct salt level is in the pool then all 10 lights will illuminate. Each

light represents 10% chlorine output. If all lights are not illuminated then a higher salt level will be

required. Make sure all salt is dissolved properly before adding more. The chlorine control, (2 in fig.

7), will increase or decrease the chlorine output to suit your chlorine demand. If all of the indicator

lights flash then there is a water fault problem.

2. Chlorine Control – The chlorine controller determines the amount of chlorine production. By

simply turning the control anti-clockwise you increase the chlorine output and by turning the

control clockwise you reduce the chlorine output. Do not force the control past its stop as this will

damage the unit and void warranty.

3. High Salt Light – This light is a red warning indicator and will only illuminate when the salt level in

the swimming pool is higher than 4500 parts per million. If this light is on, decrease the output by

turning the chlorine control, (2 in fig.7), clockwise until the high salt (red light) goes off and the 10

chlorine output LEDs are on (1 in fig 7). If this light is the only one illuminated then the unit has gone

into over temperature cutout and will reset once back to normal running temperature.

4. Polarity Light – The polarity light is the first indicator light, 10% in the chlorine output array, (4 in

fig.7). This light will alternate between orange and green every reversing cycle, 4-12 hours. Factory

setting is a 12 hour cycle.

5. Timer – The time clock is designed for control of the chlorinator and circulation pump.
