SAFE POOL SANITIZING WORKING PRINCIPLE

Chlorine is a highly effective sanitizing agent which is commonly used in swimming pools. It can prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. This chlorinator uses the process of electrolysis to break down the salt (NaCl) in the swimming pool water to produce chlorine gas (Cl₂ ) Chlorine production can be regulated from the control unit by altering the electric current flowing through the titanium electrode in the cell housing.

2.1 WATER CHEMISTRY:

**** It is important to note that the EMAUX Chlorinator does not maintain the water chemistry of your swimming pool water; it simply produces chlorine from a mild salt solution. To ensure that your chemical balances is within the guidelines listed below and to encourage a sparling clean, you should also have your water tested regularly at your local pool shop.

Salt level SSC15-E / SSC15-T / SSC15-TLT 3000 – 4000 ppm
SSC25-E / SSC25-T / SSC25-TLT 3000 – 4000 ppm
SSC50-E/SSC50-T 4000 – 5000 ppm
Free Chlorine 1.0 – 3.0 ppm
pH 7.2 – 7.6
Cyanuric acid (stabilizer) 30 – 50 ppm
Total Alkalinity 80 – 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness 200 – 400 ppm
Metals 0ppm

2.2 CHLORINE LEVEL CALCULATION

Emaux SSC Series Chlorinator-icon7

2.3 SALT LEVEL
The amount of salt required is between 4000 and 6000 ppm. This can be done by adding 4-6Kg of salt per 1,000 litres of water directly into the pool water.
A low concentration of salt (below 2500 ppm) will cause premature cell failure.
A High concentration of salt (above 6000 ppm) may cause electro-oxidation and corrosion damage to the Stainless Steel pool fixtures and fittings.
Salt required according to the volume of the pool:

Pool volume (m3) Salt (kg) Pool volume (Gallon) Salt (Pound)
10 40 2,642 88
15 60 3,963 132
20 80 5,283 176
25 100 6,604 220
30 120 7,925 264
35 140 9,246 308
40 160 10,567 352
50 200 13,209 440
60 240 15,850 528
70 280 18,492 616
80 320 21,134 704
90 360 23,775 792
100 400 26,417 880
110 440 29,059 968
120 480 31,700 1,056
150 600 39,626 1,320

Note: Table based on 4000 ppm of salt per m of water.

2.4 TYPE OF SALT
The most common salt used in swimming pools with Salt Electrolysis is 99% pure Sodium Chlorine (NaCl).
DO NOT use the following types of salts:

  1. Rock salt.
  2. Salt with more than 1% yellow prussiate of soda.
  3. Salt with more than 1% of anti-caking additives.
  4. Iodized salt. Salt with additives or impurities will cause premature cell failure.

2.5 ADDITION AND REMOVING SALT IN THE SWIMMING POOL WATER
Before adding the salt into the pool, place the multiport valve on “ Filtration ” or “ Recirculation” and then turn the filtration pump on.
Add the salt directly into the pool evenly around the pool or ballast tank. Do not allow the salt to sit in a pile on the bottom of the pool.
Do not add large amount of salt nearby the skimmer at the same time. It will damage the unit.
Keep the filtration system running for 24 hours using the Main Drain or vacuum suction nozzle as a main suction line.The only way to remove the salt in the pool water is to partially drain the pool and refill with fresh water.

PRODUCT FEATURES

  1. Convenience and the constant delivery of pure chlorine-based sanitizer.
  2. No more artificial chemical cleaning agent which could cause skin and eye irritation. You just need to add natural salt in the pool.
  3. The salt in the water is so little you do not taste or smell the salt.
  4. The electrode is made of titanium, which is durable and resistant to corrosion.
  5. Easy to install and operate.
  6. The water does not have the heavy smell of chlorine because chlorine is not directly added to the pool.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

The Emaux SSC Chlorinator unit is contained in a rain tight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mounting (IPX4 waterproof). However, the following points must be taken into consideration for a correct installation of the Superior SSC Chlorinator unit:

  1. Select a convenient well-ventilated location within one meter of filter equipment.

  2. The cell must be installed above the sand filter discharge outlet water level.

  3. If the chlorinator and cell are installed below water level, the pump and chlorinator must have a common power switch in o rder to prevent the chlorinator from generating chlorine while the pump is not running. Otherwise the cell enclosure will overheat and explode if only the pump is shut off.

  4. Install the Control Panel using the template paper sheet provided with the package in a minimum distance of 3.5 meters (11.5 ft.) from the swimming pool, 1.5 meters (5 ft.) from the ground, within 2 meters (6.5 ft.) from the protected outlet, and within 4.5 meters (15 ft.) from where the cell will be installed, in a ventilated area and leaving enough free space of min. 50 cm (20”) in each side for servicing.

  5. Two self-tapping screws and wall plugs are provided for fast and simple installation. Simply cut out the template provided for the location of the drilling points. Use a 8mm masonry drill when fitting the control unit to a brick or concrete wall. When mounting to a post, drill pilot holes and fit the screws provided. Once the screws are in position simply hang the chlorinator via the bracket on back of the control box.

  6.  The cell must be installed horizontally

  7. The electrolytic cell housing must be plumbed into the return line after the filter. The cell housing can be fitted to 1.5: or 2” PVC piping by provided universal union.

  8. Connect the water inlet and outlet to the Cell Unit. The water flow direction must be as indicated on the Cell.

  9. To avoid loss of chlorine, the Cell should be installed at the end of the filtration system, right before the pool water return.

  10. The cell should preferably be installed on a bypass with input and output gate valves. This will permit uninterrupted filtration while the chlorinator is being serviced. The inlet and outlet valves must not be closed during operation, otherwise pressure will build up in the plastic enclosure and it will explode.

  11. Glue the salt cell horizontally on the pool return pipe, allow the pipe glue to cure for 24 hours.

  12. Use the provided cable to connect the control unit and the salt cell together.

  1. For model with power socket for pump, the maximum allowed power rating is 1,500 Watt or 1.5HP. Refer to pump model plate for power rating confirmation.
  2. DO NOT mount the Control Panel under direct sun light.
  3. The Control Panel must be installed far away from the chemical storage, especially from acid because it can corrode the electronics inside the unit.
  4. It must be kept away from heat sources and any equipment which produce heat.
  5. Plug-in power supply into a suitable weatherproof outlet socket with circuit breaker.
  6.  Before fixing the Control Panel, make sure that the power cable and cell cable also reach the Control Panel.

For model with built-in lighting power output:
Mount the control unit vertically onto a post or wall 1.5 meters above ground level. (Australian Standards
requires that the electric control unit shall not be located within 3 meters of the pool water.)

START UP

Never allow the chlorinator operate without water flow. The pump and chlorinator must operate simultaneously.

  1. Recommended pool salt lever: 3000- 4000PPM for SSC15 and SSC25, 4000-5000PPM for SSC50.
  2. Run chlorinator at the Salt Levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure optimum sanitizer output and cell life.
  3. Operating this device at low salt levels will damage the cell and reduce its life.
  4. The control panel will display a RED indicator when the salt level is low.
  5. If no action is taken to rectify the salt level, damage to the cell may result which will not be covered under warranty.
  6. During extreme hot weather conditions or high bather load, the pool water need to be super-chlorinated using powder, granulated, or liquid chlorine or the running time of the chlorinator should be increased.
  7. Always turn down the system control to zero before adding salt, once the salt is completely dissolved, return to the set position.
  8. The aluminum casing at the back of the Control Unit acts as a heat sink, do not touch it with bare hands.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

A salt chlorinator is a valuable piece of pool sanitizing equipment. Regular care and maintenance will ensure the best performance and long life. Keep the water chemical balance

  1. Maintain the correct water chemical balance
  2. Maintain a good operating environment
  3. Regularly check the condition of the titanium plates. During the chlorination process white calcium scale may naturally build up on the titanium plates in the cell. Regular monitoring of the cell will prevent excessive buildup of scale. Excessive scale will damage the cell and significantly reduce its life and efficiency.
  4. If the control box fails or there is excessive calcium deposit, maintenance must be carried out by a pool professional.
  5. Prevent insects from entering the control box, they may damage the electrical components inside.

CLEANING THE TITANIUM CELL

Although the system is designed with a self-cleanig function for the cell (reverse polarity), it will occasionally be necessary to manually clean the cell to remove calcium deposit.enclosure, the pump and salt chlorinator will stop automatically.
Caution
AThe mixture required for cleaning is extremely corrosive and protective clothing should be worn.
Procedures
Make up a dilute mixture of 1:10 parts of Hydrochloric (muriatic) Acid to water

Always add Hydrochloric acid to water

  1. Turn the filtration system off.
  2. Remove the salt cell from the housing.
  3. Add the salt cell to the cleaning mixture making avoiding contact with the terminals.
  4. Wait five to ten minutes for the Salt Cell to be cleaned.
  5. If any parts of calcium are stuck or will not dissolve, carefully remove them with a smooth plastic instrument.
  6. Once the salt cell is clean, rinse with fresh water and place back in the housing and tighten the cell or collar.
  7. Turn system back to automatic setting or timer. Dispose of cleaning mixture.

 If the salt cell has a heavy deposit of calcium that has not been removed after ten minutes in the cleaning solution, we recommend using a “Cell Cleaner” product which is not as corrosive as hydrochloric acid. The cell can then be left in the cleaner for up to a hour and will completely remove the calcium. We recommended using Salt Cell Cleaner at all times over the traditional Hydrochloric mixture, it is a safer alternative and not harmful to your Salt Cell at all and reusable.
