They must be given to the installer and kept by the user. If you lose this manual, please visit our website: www.poolex.fr The warnings and guidelines contained in this manual must be carefully read and understood as they provide important information concerning the safe handling and operation of the chlorinator.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation and maintenance of any upstream electrical components must be performed by a qualified electrician. Failing to do so may result in electric shock, serious injury, property damage and even death. Prior to any maintenance or operation, ensure that the salt chlorinator and any other devices are shut down and the main power supply is off.
DESCRIPTION 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). Chlorine cycle Na Cl 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...

INSTALLATION Preliminary operations 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”...
INSTALLATION Hydraulic connection 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; consider adding a valve (if not already present) just after the chlorinator to be able to isolate this section and facilitate maintenance.
ADDING SALT Warnings 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.

USE OF CONTROL PANEL Overview of control panel On/Off button 2-digit display Mode selector button Low salt indicator Operating mode indicator On/Off button: Turns the chlorinator on or off. On, the LED is green. When off, the LED is red. Low salt indicator: Let’s you know if salt level is correct.
USE OF CONTROL PANEL 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).
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: ✓...
CLEANING THE CELL Principle 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. self-cleaning The cell has a function which uses reverse polarity.
WINTERIZING Active winterizing When temperatures are low, very little chlorine is required. If actively winterizing your pool, the Covered Pool mode will be sufficient. However, the chlorinator will not produce chlorine below 10°C and will display an error code (E2); this feature prolongs the service life of the cell.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the water has turned green after winterizing your pool, WARNING: 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;...

TROUBLESHOOTING : Water flow not detected Comments : The normal operating range for flow rate is between 2 m /h and 10 m If the daily filtration time is divided into several ranges and the range times are shorter than the processing time then this error may temporarily appear during breaks between ranges until the processing time is completed on the subsequent range.
This limited warranty extends exclusively to the original purchaser of the chlorinator system and is non-transferable. • The Turbo-Salt salt chlorinator is intended for use in private pools and any commercial use voids this warranty.
