Water values

Preparation of the pool water
To ensure proper functioning of the AutomaticSALT, it is essential to check the following values of the pool water and to adjust them accordingly before starting the operation.

RECOMMENDATION
Start adjusting the water values as early as possible, as it may take a longer time to reach the mentioned values, depending on the pool volume.

If shock chlorination of your pool water is necessary, this should be carried out in advance.
In addition, take the Redox-Sensor out of the transport container as early as possible and place it in a glass of pool water.
This gives the electrode the opportunity to get used to the pool water and helps to shorten the run-in period of the Redox-Sensor.

The following water values must be set step by step in the pool water before the AutomaticSALT is put into operation:

To save time when setting the values, you can carry out steps 1 – 4 simultaneously.
Make sure you start with step 5 not before the pH value is set.
In outdoor pools additionally the stabilizer needs to be added before dosing chlorine.

Set the desired chlorine value for operation already now.
It is essential that this value is set correctly at the time of commissioning the AutomaticSALT.

RECOMMENDATION
To effectively prevent possible calcification of the chlorine generation cell caused by the system, it is recommended to add BAYROL Calcinex® (300 ml/10 m³) to the pool water.
The risk of calcification can be further reduced by using pH-Minus Liquid Anti Calc! The highly recommended addition of Calcinex® (see below) can be carried out at any time.

Please note
The consistent use of Calcinex® and pH-Minus Liquid

Anti Calc can extend the lifetime of the cell!

Please follow the general instructions below when carrying out the adjustment of the values in the pool water:

• Always determine the respective values of the pool water before starting to adjust the value.

• Make sure that the pool water is free of dissolved metals.
  Make sure that this is also the case for the entire operating time of the pool.

• Calculate the amount of water treatment product required to achieve the desired value before adding it. Consult the dosing instructions of the respective water care product.

• Always add the respective products to the pool water gradually and always with the circulation running. Open all inlets and outlets including the floor drain.

• Find a place in the pool with the best possible flow for the addition, e.g. from the inlet nozzles or directly into the skimmer. This way you will achieve a complete dissolution of the added water care products and an even distribution.
  Let the circulation run for 1 hours even after the last water value has been reached to ensure complete mixing.

• Occasional measurements during the addition of the respective water care products can help to prevent overdosing.

Additional instructions

For Step 1: Adding the salt
Add the salt granules directly to the pool. To do this, find a place in the pool where there is high flow, e.g. at the inlet jets. It is best to additionally swirl the salt with a brush with a long handle to accelerate the dissolving process.

IMPORTANT
Please use only salt approved for use in swimming pools!
Choose salt in form of granules for faster solubility. The amount of salt required to achieve the desired salt content can easily be determined using the formulas given in the annex.

For Step 5: Manual adding of chlorine
When adding chlorine manually, please ensure that the chlorine is completely dissolved and mixed in the pool water before measuring the chlorine level manually.

IMPORTANT
For a quick increase of the chlorine level in the pool,Chloryte® is best suited. Alternatively, Chlorifix® can be used also.

Procedure for indoor pools
After the pH value is set please manually add chlorine (Chloryte®/Chlorifix®) until you can measure a chlorine value (DPD1) of 0.6 – 1.2 mg/l throughout the pool.

Procedure for outdoor pools
Before adding chlorine to the pool, the level of stabilizer must be set. The UV light of the sun causes a premature degradation of chlorine. To protect the chlorine from getting destroyed a stabilizer (BAYROL Stabichloran®) must be used.

Effect of the stabilizer
Part of the chlorine added to the pool or produced by the AutomaticSALT is immediately available as free chlorine for disinfecting the pool water. The rest is bound to the stabilizer and thereby safely protected.

IMPORTANT
It is most important that you keep the level of stabilizer stable throughout the season! Changing levels of stabilizer will cause incorrect readings for disinfection (mV) of your AutomaticSALT!

After the level of stabilizer is set you may start with manually adding chlorine.

Please note
The manual chlorine measurement (e.g. with BAYROL Electronic
Pool Tester or test kits) displays the sum of free and protected chlorine at the same time. The automatic determination of the disinfection capacity of your AutomaticSALT only takes the content of free chlorine into account. The protected part of the chlorine remains disregarded.

Therefore:
In the presence of stabilizer, the manually measured chlorine value (DPD1) needs to be higher than without stabilizer.
Please manually add chlorine (Chloryte®/Chlorifix®) until you can measure a chlorine value (DPD1) of 1.5 – 3.0 mg/l throughout the pool.

Commissioning

As soon as the water values have been set and your unit with all its components has been installed, you can start commissioning your AutomaticSALT.
Switch on your AutomaticSALT and follow the instructions on the display. You will be taken through the initial Setup Wizard, which will help you with the essential settings.
Of course, you can also access all the settings you have made later and adjust them, if necessary.
As soon as the individual steps have been completed,the AutomaticSALT starts operation.

Operation

Tap in the blue frame areas to access the respective context menus.

Message list
If relevant events occur during operation the AutomaticSALT displays corresponding messages.
Additionally, the AutomaticSALT files messages in the message list. For most of the messages the AutomaticSALT offers additional information and wizards that will guide you step by step to a solution. If you cannot find a solution despite following all instructions, please contact your dealer.

Calibration of the sensors
Please note that when calibrating the pH- and Rx-Sensor using the enclosed buffer solutions, you must remove the sensors from the Smart&Easy Connector. Make sure that not too much water can leak out during this process by closing the respective valves.
Follow the instructions on the display.

RECOMMENDATION
To avoid taking out the sensors you may do the calibration with pool water. Please measure the pool water values with a photometer (e.g. BAYROL Electronic Pool Tester).

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Winter mode
You can determine whether the AutomaticSALT should still produce chlorine below an adjustable water temperature.

RECOMMENDATION
Stop production of chlorine at a water temperature of below 15 °C. In cold water the demand of chlorine is very low. You may manually add some chlorine to the pool water from time to time.
At water temperatures lower than 15 °C the AutomaticSALT switches automatically to the self protection mode. The lower the water temperature is, the more the production is reduced in order to safe lifetime of the production cell. The self protection mode will also switch off the production in case the salt level in the pool water is too low.

The setting of the cut-off temperature is done under:
Salt electrolysis temperature and safety settings.

ADDITIONALS OPTIONS

Pool cover
Pool water that is protected by a pool cover against the influence of UV radiation from the sun and other environmental influences uses less chlorine than water that is not protected.
If the AutomaticSALT receives the potential-free signal whether the pool cover is open or closed, it can reduce the production of chlorine when the pool cover is closed. This is particularly useful when operating the AutomaticSALT in constant production mode.
To use this function, a potential-free signal must be given to the AutomaticSALT. The correct connection is shown in the diagram of the AutomaticSALT in point 9 – Electrical connection – on the device.

A corresponding connection cable is available in the BAYROL Technik range (191049 Cable 2.5 m for Cover).
The setting is made in the initial start-up menu or later in Expert settings – System configuration & statistics Pool cover switch.

KIT Level Automatic Single – Canister monitoring
By default, your AutomaticSALT recognises an empty pH canister by the fact that the pH value does not change despite the dosing pump being switched on. In this case, a message is displayed, and the empty canister should be replaced by a full one as soon as possible.
For even faster and more convenient detection of an empty pH-Minus canister, you can use the optional KIT Level Automatic single canister monitor on the AutomaticSALT. It enables direct monitoring of the filling level of the canister for pH-Minus Liquid Anti Calc by means of an easy-to-use suction lance. When the canister is empty, a corresponding message is output.
The KIT replaces the foot filter supplied and can thus be simply connected to the level pH connection provided and mounted on the corresponding liquid canister with the aid of a screw cap.

Winterizing

You can use the winterizing mode of your AutomaticSALT to winterize your pool. In colder conditions it is recommended to take the AutomaticSALT system out of operation.
The following procedures guide you to do so when either actively winterize your pool with a running filtration system or passively winterize your pool system by also taking the filtration system out of operation.

For active winterising (filtration system of the pool remains running)

• Stop the filter pump.
• Rinse pump hoses with clear water.
• Empty all pump hoses.
• Close and empty the bypass containing the Smart&Easy connector and the production cell.
• Remove the sensors from holders and store them in their container, preferably filled with KCl storage solution, or with pool water. Store the sensors in a dry and cool but frost-free place.
• Store your pH-Minus canister in a dry and cool but frostfree place.
• If there is no bypass, install ½” plugs in place of sensor holders.

For passive winterising (filtration system of the pool is shut off)

• Stop the filter pump.
• Rinse pump hoses with clear water.
• Empty all pump hoses.
• Close and empty the filtration system. Make sure to drain the entire circulation system of the pool as much as possible.
• Close and empty the bypass containing the Smart&Easy connector and the production cell.
• Remove the sensors from holders and store them in their container, preferably filled with KCl storage solution, or with pool water. Store the sensors in a dry and cool but frost-free place.
• Store your pH-Minus canister in a dry and cool but frostfree place.

Maintenance

Winterizing
The indicated amount of maintenance is just the minimum requirement. The frequency of maintenance depends on the intensity of use.
The frequency of maintenance is determined by the applicable, country-specific requirements! This may result in considerably shorter maintenance intervals; the relevant country-specific specifications and standards must be observed.

Cell cleaning
The AutomaticSALT is equipped with an adjustable automatic cell cleaning function. This function is based on the cyclic switching of the polarity of the chlorine generation cell and removes possible scale deposits on the cell sheets with each switching.
If you notice that your chlorine production cell tends to calcify, you can shorten the polarity cycles. Please note that a setting of 200 minutes or less will greatly reduce the typical life of the chlorine production cell and will void the warranty.
If you notice that your chlorine production cell remains perfectly clean even after prolonged operation, you may increase the polarity cycles. This may have a positive effect on the life of the chlorine production cell.

Please note
The consistent use of Calcinex® and pH-Minus Liquid Anti Calc can extend the lifetime of the cell!
If, however, heavy limescale deposits have formed on the cell sheets, you may manually clean the cell. To do this, remove the cell from the cell holder (be sure to close the taps of the bypass beforehand. Caution, water may leak out) and treat it with BAYROL Cell Renov. Follow the instructions on the product label.
Take the opportunity to also check the components in the Smart&Easy Connector holder, as they may also be calcified/dirty.

ATTENTION
Never try to remove the scale mechanically (e.g. with a brush or metallic objects)! This will irreparably damage the cell.
A mechanically cleaned cell is excluded from the from the warranty.

MAINTENANCE PLAN Weekly check

• Make sure you keep your filter system in perfect condition.
• After adding fresh water, check the salt content and add salt if necessary.
• Check the values for pH and chlorine, preferably with aBAYROL Technik Electronic Pool Tester.
• Carry out a visual inspection of the system for leaks in all components, lines and hose

Yearly maintenance

• Replace the pH sensor and calibrate it.
• Replace the Redox-sensor and set the correct setpoint mV. Make sure that the chlorine level in the pool water is at the desired level.
• Replace the dosing pump hoses.
• Check the pH injection valve and replace, if necessary.

Please note
Only use original BAYROL Technik components. The use of third-party components can lead to malfunction during operation. BAYROL Deutschland GmbH disclaims all liability and warranty for this.
