PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
| Maximum chlorine production per hour: | 6 g/h |
|---|---|
| Sand filter/Filter pump flow range: | 330-3000 gal/h |
| Salt concentration: | 3000 ppm (3 g/L） |
| Water temperature: | 10-36°C |
| Ambient temperature: | 5-45°C |
| Compatible with max water capacity: | 7000 gal (26495 L) |
RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
- The chlorinator must be installed at the last position of the water circulation pipe (down the direction of the water flow) as shown in “1a. and 1b.”.
- Only use sodium chloride (NaCl) salt with a purity of at least 99.8% to fully dissolve it.
- Too low salt content will reduce the efficiency of the chlorinator and result in low chlorine production. High salt content may produce a salty taste to the pool water and it may cause corrosion to metal fixtures and fittings in the pool.
- The “Pool Salt Table” shows the correct amount of salt required. Refer to the different quantity of water. The salt in the pool will not automatically decrease. Only when the pool water is lost will the salt in the water decrease, and the evaporation of water will not cause the salt to decrease.

If the device shows error E2, it is necessary to reduce the salt concentration: Drain about 20% of the pool water, and then refill with clean water. Wait 1 hour, and if the error still remains, repeat the operation until the E2 error disappears. In case the quantity of water of your pool is not listed in the “pool salt table”, follow the below formula to calculate the correct quantity of salt to add to the pool to reach the 3000 ppm of salt concentration, or in case the E1 error appears on the display

USING THE CHLORINATOR
Recommended Pool Working Time Set Table
1. This table shows the recommended working hours for the normal maintenance of the chlorinator connected to the pool.
2. For cleaning the pool, please run it at 1.5-2 times the time shown in the table for the first use, and run it according to the normal working hours once the chlorine level is reached.
3. On the first use or if the water in the pool is dirty, run the chlorinator until the level of chlorine is correct or the water is clean. Refer to the working time shown in the table below.
Pool size| Working time (hours) under different ambient temperatures
Gallon| Litre| 10 – 19°C(50 – 66°F)| 20 – 28°C(68 – 82°F)| 29 – 36°C(84 –

- This table shows the recommended working hours for the normal maintenance of the chlorinator connected to the pool.
- For cleaning the pool, please run it at 1.5-2 times the time shown in the table for the first use, and run it according to the normal working hours once the chlorine level is reached.
- On the first use or if the water in the pool is dirty, run the chlorinator until the level of chlorine is correct or the water is clean.
- Refer to the working time shown in the table below.
ATTACHING A BASE TO THE CHLORINATOR
Follow the below instructions. There must be two holes with a diameter of 8 mm
and a spacing of 165 mm on the base. The product can be fixed on a cement base
or a wooden platform. The total weight of the base should not be less than 18
kg to protect the chlorinator from accidentally falling over.
MAINTENANCE
ELECTROLYTIC CELL
To clean the electrolytic cell, follow the instruction in the section .
Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product.
Not to scale. In order to maintain the best results, we recommend opening and
checking the electrodes every month. However, if the water quality of the
swimming pool is hard water (high content of calcium and magnesium ions), the
electrodes may need to be cleaned manually on a regular basis. To clean the
electrolytic cell, it is suggested to use a solution of 50% water/50% vinegar,
or check with your pool dealer the suitable chemical product. Be sure to avoid
chemical product that can damage the Titanium plate.
WATER CHEMICAL BALANCE
| Minimum | Best Value | Maximum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Available chlorine | 0 | 0.5 – 3.0 ppm | 3.0 ppm |
| Combined chlorine | 0 | 0 | 0.2 ppm |
| pH value | 7.2 | 7.4 – 7.6 | 7.8 |
| Total alkalinity | 40 ppm | 80 – 100 ppm | 120 ppm |
| The hardness of calcium | 50 ppm | 100- 250 ppm | 350 ppm |
| Stabilizer (cyanuric acid) | 10 ppm | 20 – 40 ppm | 50 ppm |
STORAGE
- Remove all accessories; be sure to clean and dry all before the storage. If all the parts are not completely dry, mold may result.
- We strongly recommend to disassemble the Chlorinator when the environment temperature is below 10ºC / 50ºF.
- Store the Chlorinator in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 10ºC / 50ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.

Flocculent precipitation in water
|
There is too much calcium in the pool water.
|
Empty about 20%-25% of the pool water volume, then add clean water to reduce the hardness. If necessary, please disassemble the electrolytic cell for inspection and cleaning.
LED indicator has no display code
|
• Not plugged in.
