ERROR CODE AND CORRESPONDING SOLUTIONS

THE OPERATING CONDITION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SALT CHLORINATOR

The mixture and maintenance of water and salt.

The calculation of the amount of water:
Knowing the capacity of the pool is the first step in adding salt to the pool.

• Rectangular pool: length (meter) x width(meter) x average depth (meter)= pool water capacity (cubic meter)
• Circular pool: diameter(meter) x diameter(meter) x average depth(meter) x 0. 785 = pool water capacity (cubic meter)
• Ellipse pool: length (meter) x width(meter) x average depth(meter) x 0.893 = pool water capacity (cubic meter)
• Beveled pool: pool volume (cubic meter) x 0.85 = pool water capacity (cubic meter)

The type of salt
The purer the salt, the more advantageous the salt chlorinator would be. This will also extend the service life of the chlorinator. The Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in the salt should be at least 99.6%. Best if the salt is dehydrated granular food-grade sea salt.

WARNING

• Please do not use rock salt, its impurity may shorten the service life of the chlorinator.
• Do not use Calcium Chloride as salt, only sodium chloride can be used.
• Avoid using an anti-blocking agent (sodium cyanide, aka YPS, is poisonous and corrosive) salt, this kind of salt may change the color of the pool surface and the equipment inside.
• Can use water treatment salt pills, but it makes take a very long time to melt in the water.

Adding the right amount of salt
Most pools contain a certain amount of salt, the concentration of the salt in water will vary depending on the water source and the sterilizing agent used. Users can use a hand-held NaCl tester or salinity pen to test the current salt concentration of the pool.

• The best operating salt concentration level of the salt chlorinator EC series Is 3500 ppm (3.5kg of salt per cubic meter).
• When operating the salt chlorinator EC series for the first time. Add salt to the pool following the steps below: A. Use a salinity meter to check the original salt concentration in the pool.

TIPS
Add an appropriate amount of salt, ensure that for each cubic meter water add 3.5kg of salt.

• The concentration of salt (ppm value) can be seen as the gram of salt within 1 ton of water. If the current salt concentration of a 100 M3 pool is 850ppm (can be taken as 850g in 1 ton of water), how much salt is needed for the chlorinator to normally operate?
• Salt needs to be added(unit: gram)= water in the pool x (normal operation salt concentration – the current pool salt concentration)= 100 x (3500-850) = 265000 gram.

The correct way of adding salt

• Turn on the circulation pump of the pool, and let the water circulation begin.
• Turn off the salt chlorinator.
• Test the current salt concentration of the pool
• Calculate the amount of salt needed to add to the pool according to the corresponding chart.
• Add salt to the pool around the side of the pool, so that it can quickly and evenly dilute into the water. Do not let salt accumulate on the bottom of the pool. Stir the water on the bottom of the pool if needed so the salt can completely dissolve.
• Run the circulation pump for 24 hours, so the salt can evenly distribute in the pool.
• 24 hours later, test the salt concentration of the pool again to see if it has reached the optimum level.
• When the salt concentration of the pool has reached the desired level, turn on the salt chlorinator and other equipment. Once the chlorinator initiates, please set your desired level of chlorine production.

Decrease the concentration of salt

• The only way to decrease the concentration of salt is to drain a part of the pool’s water and replace it with fresh water.
• In order to reduce the loss of chlorine by the UV radiating on outdoor pool water dose of Cyanuric acid of 20-100mg/L as chlorine stabilizer.

The maintenance of salt chlorinator

The maintenance of the electrolysis cell
To ensure the smooth operation of the salt chlorinator, the electrolysis cell should be checked every three months or after cleaning the filter, whichever comes first. Follow the steps below to complete the check:

• Before removing the electrolysis cell, close the inlet and output valve after shutting down the salt chlorinator for 5 – 10 minutes.
• After removal of the electrolysis cell, check to see if there are flake-like sediments, debris, and light-colored layering in the inner surface. Wash with clean water.
• If there are white calcified substance on the titanium plate. Submerge the titanium plate into 4:1 water and hydrochloric acid solution to remove the calcified substance. Please wear rubber gloves and eye protection for safety.
• If there are major sediments that cannot be removed on one’s own, please contact the seller for professional suggestions.
