RUNNING TIMES:
7.
These instructions cover EcoSalt REDOX for residential use only.
The filtration pump needs to be run for a minimum of 8 hours per day during summer to ensure the proper
filtration of your pool.
IMPORTANT: The EcoSalt REDOX guarantee does not apply to commercial
installations, i.e. where the system runs more than an average of 8 hours per day over the year.
Guarantee on commercial and semi-commercial installations is 12 months only on both power
supply and cells.
Chlorine Production
The EcoSalt REDOX must be run daily to generate sufficient chlorine to sanitise the pool. The EcoSalt
REDOX will automatically regulate the amount of chlorine production to ensure the sanitation of your pool.
The amount of chlorine produced is dependent on the setpoint and the run time of the filtration pump
If the chlorine level is too low the ORP CONTROL needs to be adjusted. If the chlorine level is still too low
after adjustment the run time of the filtration pump may need to be increased. Harsh local conditions such as
pollution or wind borne dust require different running times Ð in which case, seek advice from your pool
professional. Without sufficient filtration/chlorination, your pool will never function correctly. ALWAYS RUN
THE FILTER WHEN SWIMMING IN THE POOL. In extremely hot weather or during periods of heavy
bathing loads, the filtration time may need to be extended.
In some cases you may find your chlorine level to be too high. To determine if this is the case, run your filter
and chlorinator for the suggested times and ORP levels and test your pool water on the morning after
operation. If your chlorine test shows a high level of chlorine, the ORP CONTROL can be turned anti -
clockwise. Test your chlorine level again the following morning at around the same time. If your chlorine level
is still high, further reduce the ORP CONTROL.
ÒSHOCKÓ TREATMENT:
Periodically, especially during extremely hot conditions, it may be necessary to boost the amount of chlorine
in your pool in order to maintain absolute sanitation of the water. This can be achieved by adding either liquid
or granulated chlorine. If granulated chlorine is added, the Cell must be checked regularly, since the
additives from this product will clog the electrodes.
CHLORINE TYPES AND COMPARISONS / MAX POOL SIZE:
Many chlorinator manufacturers calibrate their units to compare with 65% granulated chlorine, making it
necessary to adjust their readings to a lower level in order to determine true chlorine production. Below is a
comparison table of the available types of chlorine used to sanitise pools.

NOTE: The appropriate chlorinator size for your pool is dependent on the local climate and the
bather load of the pool. Please note that chlorinator cell life can be increased with shorter
running times during winter and lower output settings. Davey recommends that a chlorinator
is run for between 6 - 8 hours a day during summer, and 4 hours during winter.
