PRE - START UP PROCEDURE:
Before operating your Aquachlor Chlorinator please ensure the following items have
been added to your pool:
• SALT - Load salt into the pool at a minimum rate of 40kg per 10,000 litres (0.4%).
Connect vacuum system and slowly vacuum until salt dispersal is complete. Place
vacuum head into deepest end of pool and allow vacuum to continue for a further 2 or 3
hours. Salt should now be completely mixed.
• CHLORINE - For a new pool installation that has not been chlorinated, add sufficient
Chlorine (liquid or granular) to achieve a reading of 3 ppm (with a suitable test kit), or run
the chlorinator system continuously for at least 24 hours or until a reading of 3 ppm is
reached.
• STABILISER - It is essential that pool stabiliser be added and maintained at the rate
of 30- 50 mg/l (30 - 50 ppm) at all times. Do not exceed 100 ppm.
(Refer Day to Day Operation pages 8-10 for further information).
OPERATION OF AQUACHLOR C (Standard) SYSTEM:
Cell Output is shown on a meter made up of a bar of five LEDs on the left-hand side of
the unit. Normal Cell operation is indicated by at least four LEDs being on. The Unit is
fitted with an electronic control and warning system. This regulates the output of the Unit
to the preset maximum. The warning system consists of an LED which will glow Green
or Red to indicate possible faults with the Unit or damaging operating conditions.
Once the salt level in the pool is correct the Unit may be switched On. The WARNING
LED will be Green and no Cell Output will be seen for approx. 30 seconds, this allows
the pump and filter to prime and the Cell Housing to fill with water. After this start - up
delay the bar meter should light up showing at least four LEDs. At this point the
WARNING LED should be Green; if not there is a problem. (Refer table).
