UNIT DESCRIPTION

Water treatment system and controller for swimming pools.

Water treatment: Chlorine is produced by electrolysis of salt water, using salt water of low salinity. Production of sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) in the electrolysis cell is achieved with a minimum of 3g salt per litre. The chlorine combats and eliminates bacteria, viruses and pathogenic agents, and oxidizes organic matter present in the water. The used sodium hypochlorite reconverts into salt after a few hours. The system centralises control of all pool equipment, optimising interactions between the various installations.

ELECTRONIC PANEL FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

MAIN SCREEN

ELECTROLYSIS

1. Electrolysis:
   • Programming of electrolysis functions.
2. Level:
   • Desired chlorine production (g/h).
3. Boost (super chlorination):
   • Filtration for 24h at maximum-intensity. Automatic return to programmed filtration mode.
   • During the boost period the Rx control can be deactivated.
4. Cover:
   • Reduction of chlorine production activated by closing the automatic cover.
   • See section on Cover.

MEASUREMENTS / Setpoints

1. Measurements:
   • Adjustment of setpoints and measuring probes.
2. Setpoints for each measurement.
3. Setpoint settings:
   • configuration of the ideal levels for each parameter.

Default values:

• pH: 7.2 – 7.5
• Rx: 600 – 800

MEASUREMENTS – pH calibration

• Calibration of pH probe:
  • Recommended every month during the season of use.
• Calibration with buffers (buffer solutions pH7 / pH10 / neutral):
  • Follow the 7-step instructions that are shown on the display.
• Example of first step of calibration with buffers. Continue with the following steps.

Measurement and control of the pH of the water

• Manual calibration: Allows adjustment of the probes to 1 objective measurement (without buffers) – only recommended for correction of small deviations in the readings.
• Without removing the probe from the water, use the plus / minus keys to adjust the reading so it matches with your reference value (photometer or other measuring device).

MEASUREMENTS – Rx calibration

The Rx value gives information about the oxidation/reduction potential and is used to determine the water sterilization capacity. The setpoint is the minimum Rx value for activation/deactivation of the titanium cell. Adjusting the ideal Rx level (setpoint) is the last step in the system set-up. Follow these steps to determine the ideal Rx levels for your pool:

1. Connect your pool filtration system (the salt in the pool must be completely dissolved).
2. Add chlorine to the water until a level of 1-1.5 ppm is reached (approx. 1-1.5 g/m3 water). pH levels should be between 7.2 – 7.5.
3. After 30 minutes take a reading of the free chlorine level in the pool (manual test kit DPD1). If the free chlorine level is in the range 0.8 – 1.0 ppm, look at the value on the Rx display and put this value into the memory as the setpoint to activate/deactivate the electrolysis/hydrolysis cell.
4. The next day check the levels of free chlorine (manual test kit DPD1) and Rx. Raise/lower setpoint if necessary.
5. Remember to check the Rx setpoint every 2-3 months and/or when the water parameters change (pH/temperature/conductivity).

• Calibration of Rx probe:
  • Recommended every 2 months during the season of use.
• Calibration with buffer (buffer solution 465 mV): Follow the 4-step instructions that are shown on the display.
• Example of first step of calibration with buffers. Continue with the following steps.

Measurement and control of Rx as the control value of free chlorine

• Manual calibration: Allows adjustment of the probes to 1 objective measurement (without buffers) – only recommended for correction of small deviations in the readings.
• Without removing the probe from the water, use the plus / minus keys to adjust the reading so it matches with your reference value (photometer or other measuring device).
