EcoSalt REDOX Special Features
ORP CONTROL:
This dial is used to set the level of sanitiser (chlorine) you would like to be maintained in the pool.
CELL POWER:
This green LED indicator is displayed when power is being applied to the cell.
NO FLOW:
This red LED indicator is displayed when there is a Ôno water flowÕ or Ôlow water flowÕ condition; this is
detected by the supplied flow switch.
If a Ôno or low flowÕ condition is detected, check pump and pipes for blockage or damage and check that the
flow sensor is connected and installed properly.
ADD SALT:
This red LED indicator is displayed when the salt level in the pool drops below a certain level. As the salt
level in the pool decreases, the wear on the Cell increases. At this point the salt level should be increased
by adding 10kg of salt per 10,000 litres of pool water.
The addition of salt should not affect the EcoSalt REDOX as it is protected against overloads. If no action is
taken and the salt level continues to fall, damage to the cell may result.
Although salt is not consumed in the chlorination process, it is lost through splashing, back washing and on
bathers as they leave the pool. The salt level is also reduced by rain, which causes dilution. Salt is not lost
to evaporation.
There are other factors that can cause an ÔAdd SaltÕ indication:
Heavy Rain Ð can cause very dilute pool water to pass over the Cell due to surface skimming.
1.
Scaled Cell Ð a scaled Cell will not draw as much electrical current as a clean Cell. Refer to
2.
MAINTENANCE OF THE IN-LINE ELECTROLYTIC CELL on page 11.
3.
Cold Water Ð cold pool water reduces the ability of a Cell to carry electrical current. Addition of salt can
help compensate for cold water.
Failing Cell Ð as the Cell ages there will come a time when the electrical current draw will drop. This can
4.
be compensated for with the addition of extra salt. A Cell is considered failed when it draws less than
80% of maximum current. Please note that the ÔAdd SaltÕ Indicator is not like T.D.S. meters, which are
temperature compensated Scientific Instruments. The accuracy will be within 500ppm salinity and is
water temperature dependent, just as the Cell is.
ORP REDOX:
Under Ð This red LED indicator is displayed when the sanitiser is below the level set by the ORP
CONTROL dial.
Within Range Ð This green LED indicator is displayed when the sanitiser is at the level set by the ORP
CONTROL dial.
Over Ð This red LED indicator is displayed when the sanitiser is above the level set by the ORP CONTROL
dial.
