FLOTIDE SSC Series Salt Chlorinator User Manual

FLOTIDE SSC Series Salt Chlorinator

Product Information

• The Emaux SSC Series Salt Chlorinator is a device that uses electrolysis to break down salt in swimming pool water and convert it into chlorine, which is an effective sanitizing agent, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. The chlorine production rate can be adjusted by altering the electric current flow through the titanium electrode in the cell housing.
• The chlorinator is available in four different models, each with varying voltage inputs, cell outputs, and ratings for use with fiberglass or concrete pools. The models also come with different features such as time switches and underwater lights. The product dimensions are 360 x 220 x 135 mm for the control box and 380 x 118 x 130 mm for the electrolytic cell.
• The installation area must have good ventilation and be kept away from other heat sources. The working conditions include an environment temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius and a humidity level of 85%.

Product Usage Instructions

Before installation or use, ensure that the product is suitable for your pool’s size, volume, and requirements.

Chlorine Level Calculation

• Calculate the required chlorine production rate according to your pool’s volume and turnover rate using the following formula:
• Required Chlorine Production Rate (g/hr) = Pool volume (litre) x Standard Chlorine Turnover Rate (hr) x Standard Chlorine Level (g/litre)
• For example, if your pool volume is 65m3 (65,000 litres) and the turnover rate is 4 hours with a standard chlorine level of 0.002g/litre, your required chlorine production rate would be 32.5 g/hr.

Installation Guide

Follow the below steps to install the control unit:

1. Select a convenient, well-ventilated location within one meter of filter equipment.
2. Mount the control unit vertically onto a post or wall 1.5 meters above ground level. (Note: Australian Standards requires that the electric control unit shall not be located within 3 meters of the pool water.)
3. Plug the power supply into a suitable weatherproof outlet.
4. Plug the pump into the power outlet of the Power Supply Unit. (applicable for SSC-T Series only)

Refer to the product manual for additional installation and usage instructions.

Working Principle

The chlorinator uses electrolysis to break down the salt (NaCl) in the swimming pool to form Chlorine (Cl2). The control unit of the chlorinator can regulate the chlorine production by altering the electric current flow through the titanium electrode in the cell housing. Chlorine is an effective sanitizing agent which is commonly used in swimming pools, it can inhabit the growth of bacteria and fungi.

• 2NaCl+2H2O=2NaOH+H2↑+Cl2↑
• Cl2+2NaOH=NaCl+NaClO+H2O

Product Features

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

Installation Guide

Control Unit:

1. Select a convenient well-ventilated location within one meter of filter equipment.
2. 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.)
3. Plug Power supply into a suitable weatherproof outlet
4. Plug pump into the power outlet of the Power Supply Unit. (applicable for SSC-TLT Series only)
5. The Unit must be kept away from acid and other chemical storage areas. Acid and chemical vapors will corrode the electronics inside the Unit.
6. It must also be kept away from heat sources.

Caution:

• The control unit can connect to one pump and one underwater light only (SSC-TLT Series Only)
• The current loading of the pumped connected must not exceed 8 Amp. (SSC-TLT Series Only)

Electrolytic cell and Electrode

1. The cell must be installed horizontally
2. Connect the water inlet and outlet to the Cell Unit. The water flow direction must be as indicated on the Cell.
3. To avoid lost of chlorine, the Cell should be installed at the end of the filtration system, right before the pool water return.

Installation

1. Two self-tapping screws and wall plugs have been provided for fast and simple installation. Simply cut out Template provided for the location of drill entry points. Use a 8mm masonry drill when fitting control unit to a brick or concrete wall. When mounting to a post drill pilot holes and fit screws provided. Once screws are in position simply hang the chlorinator via the bracket on back of Control Box.
2. Glue the salt cell horizontally on the pool return pipe, allow 24 hour curing of the pipe glue.
3. Used the provided cable to connect the control unit and the salt cell together,
   • The single black plug should be connected to the control unit.
   • The yellow wire shall be connected to the gas senor of the Cell
   • The black wires shall be connected to the electrodes; the connectors may be fitted either way.

Operation Overview

1. Power input： 220-240VAC, 50/60Hz
2. Recommended pool salt lever: 4000PPM or above (no less than 40kg of pure salt dissolved in 10,000 liter of pool water)
   • Run chlorinator at the Salt Levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure optimum sanitizer output and cell life.
   • Operating this device at low salt levels will damage the cell and reduce its life.
