1.0 General Overview
Congratulations! You have purchased an AstralPool SALT EXPERT series Chlorinator. Please
read the instructions carefully and your purchase will provide you with years of trouble free
use.
Your AstralPool SALT EXPERT Chlorinator works by converting some of the salt in your
pool into chlorine which starts to destroy algae, bacteria and viruses in your pool water thereby
sanitising your pool. As part of the process, the chlorine is converted back into salt and hence
salt is not consumed.
Your SALT EXPERT Chlorinator control has many features to ensure simple operation of your
chlorinator and filtration system. It has a clever Spa mode to ensure that the right level of
chlorine is produced whilst you are enjoying a spa.
Note: The Chlorinator is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Please ensure that young children are supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the Chlorinator.
2.1 Chlorinator Control Installation
The SALT EXPERT Chlorinator control has a Rating of IP24 enabling it to be installed
outdoors. Regulations require that the control is not allowed to be located within 3 metres of
the pool water.
The control should be installed in a well ventilated position ideally away from direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is not located near pool chemicals as fumes may damage the control.
Included in the kit is two green masonry plugs and screws. When installing on a brick or
concrete wall, use a 7mm masonry drill. Mounting Screws should be 180mm apart and located
at least 1500mm above ground level. A drilling template is provided on page 6.
When installing the control on a post, first attach a flat waterproof panel at least 300mm wide
by 500mm long. Make sure the control is located centrally on the panel and sits flat.
Plug the plug into a suitable weatherproof outlet and then plug the pump into the Chlorinator
control.
Note: The pump current rating must not exceed 8 amps.
2.2 Cell Installation
The chlorinator cell must be located last in the pipe work just prior to the return to the pool. If
valves are installed between the Chlorinator and the pool outlet, it is essential that they cannot
deadhead the pump. If the pressure in the cell exceeds 150kPa and/or the water temperature
exceeds 40 degrees C, the cell may fail.
WARNING: Never install the cell before the pump or heater
The cell must be installed with the barrel unions underneath and the cell should be horizontal.
50mm fittings have been provided. Make sure that the o'rings are correctly fitted and the
unions are done up tightly.
