6. MAINTENANCE:_________________________________________________________________________________________________
The electrolysis cell must be kept in suitable conditions to ensure a long lifetime. This salt chlorination unit has an automatic electrode
cleaning system that helps to prevent scale build-up on the electrode surface. If the salt chlorination system is operated in accordance with
these instructions, and in particular if the pool water balance is kept within the recommended parameters, it should not be necessary to
manually clean the electrodes. However, if the pool water and the salt chlorination system are not maintained in line with these instructions
then it may be necessary to manually clean the electrodes following the procedure outlined below:
1. Stop the electrolysis system and the rest of equipment of the pool.
2. Close valves and empty the electrolysis cell.
3. Unscrew the closing nut located at the end where the electrodes are located, and remove the electrode package.
4. Use diluted hydrochloric acid (a part of commercial acid in 10 parts of water), submerging the electrode package in the prepared
solution for no more than 10 minutes.
5. NEVER SCRAPE OR SWEEP THE CELL OR THE ELECTRODES.
The electrodes of a salt chlorination system comprise of a titanium sheet coated with a layer of noble metal oxides. The electrolysis
processes that take place on their surface produce a progressive wearing down – the electrodes do have a finite life. In order to optimise
electrode lifetime, please consider the following:
1. Although all Astralpool Chlore salt electrolysis units are SELF-CLEANING, a prolonged operation of the system at pH values over
7.6 in waters of high hardness can produce scale formation on the surface of the electrodes. Scaling on the electrodes surface will
progressively deteriorate the coating, causing a decrease of lifetime.
2. Manually cleaning/washing the electrodes (as described above) will shorten their life.
3. Prolonged operation of the system at salinities lower than 3 g/l (3000 ppm) will cause a premature deterioration of the electrodes.
4. Frequent use of copper based algaecides will promote the formation of copper deposits on the electrodes, progressively damaging
the coating.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING:____________________________________________________________________________________________
Any action required to solve possible problems in the equipment should always be performed with the equipment disconnected from the
mains. Any problem not indicated in the following list should be solved by an AstralPool technician.
Production indicator always indicates "0" at all production levels
The power supply is not turned on.
Free chlorine levels in the water are very low.
PROBLEMA
Check electrodes.
Verify connections between power supply and the electrolysis
cell.
Check salt concentration.
Check the system is properly connected to 230 V/50-60 Hz in the
command box of the pump.
Check th estate of teh fuse located at the bottom of the power
supply.
Check that the system produces chlorine in pool jets.
Verify that the water Chemicals parameters (pH, combined
chlorine, isocyanuric acid, etc.) are correct.
Increase filtering time.
Add chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) until a concentration of 25 –
3
30 g/m is achieved.
