- Page 4 CHLORINE GENERATOR INSTALLATION ELECTRODE HOUSING The electrode housing may be installed either horizontally or vertically in the pool return line. The water can flow through the housing in either direction. Plumbing may be either a 40mm or 50mm pipe. GAS TRAP Horizontal - the plumbing connection on the side of the electrode housing must face downwards.
- Page 5 INSTALLATION WITH POOL HEATER The power supply should be installed in a weatherproof, well ventilated area and mounted vertically within 1.5 metres of the electrode. Although the unit has an IP24 rating it can still be susceptible to wind driven rain. 1.
- Page 7 ADDING SALT TO A NEW POOL Calculate the pool’s water volume as follows: average length x average width x average depth in metres. Multiply this answer by 5. The answer is the amount of salt in kilograms you need to add to increase the salinity of your pool from fresh water to 5000 ppm (the recommended salt level for this chlorine generator).
- Page 8 INTRODUCTION TO THE TIME CLOCK The time clock is accessed by pulling down the bottom flap of the front cover. There are four buttons: “Clock”, “Timer”, “Man” and “Auto”. “Clock” and “Timer”: Used to enter and exit the timer settings.
