7. First start / preparing the pool

7.1.1 Preparing the pool

•
Close the by-pass to avoid damaging the cell of your DYNAMIC chlorinator during intensive chlorination.
•
Make sure that pH is between 7,0 et 7,4.
•
Check the water parameters (total alkali strength, hardness and stabilizer rate) and adjust if necessary.
•
Check the stabilizer rate in the pool. A chlorine stabilizer rate between 25 and 50 mg/l prevents the quick
deterioration of the chlorine produced by the DYNAMIC chlorinator, especially in very sunny periods. If you are
using fresh water, the stabilizer content is zero.
If the stabilizer rate is between 25mg/l and 50 mg/l proceed with an intensive chlorination using a non-
o
stabilized product (Moonipo).
If the stabilizer rate is less than 25mg/l proceed with an intensive chlorination using a stabilized product
o
(Moondifix 56%)
Over-stabilized water inhibits the chlorine and prevents your pool from being correctly disinfected. If the stabilizer rate
exceeds 50mg/l, all or part of the water in the pool will have to be replaced by fresh water.
•
Add the quantity of salt required by your DYNAMIC chlorinator (3.5g/L). Only use Aqualux electrolysis salt which
complies with the standard EN 973 – Type A. (100378)
The hardness of the water expresses the quantity of Ca
hardness of the water must be between 10°f and 25°f (French degrees).
The total alkali strength of the water (T.A.C) expresses its buffering capacities, which is the quantity of CO
present in the water. The total alkali strength of your water must be between 8°f and14°f (French degrees).

7.1.2 Starting up

Put the filter's valve in circulation position, then put the pump in forced position and wait for the complete dissolution of the
salt before starting the chlorinator.
To start your DYNAMIC chlorinator, make sure that the electric power supply is connected, start the filter pump and check
if the screen lights up.
The first chlorine production setting required to process the water in your pool depends on the volume of water in the pool
and on its chemical properties. The correct setting can only be obtained by trial and error.
•
Make sure that the concentration of salt in your pool is close to 3.5g/L.
•
Set the chlorine production of your chlorinator at 80% for 24 hours.
•
Test the free chlorine rate by taking a sample from the middle of the pool.
•
If the chlorine rate is higher than 1.5 ppm reduce the production of chlorine by 10%.
•
If the chlorine rate is lower than 1 ppm increase the production of chlorine by 10%.
•
Proceed the same way until the chlorine content is between 1ppm and 1.5ppm.
The free chlorine rate in the pool must be between 1mg/litre (1ppm) and 1,5mg/litre (1,5ppm). It is necessary to proceed
with analysis in the middle of the pool as the free chlorine rate inside the cell is high.
