7. RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS
The bipolar cells of your SMC chlorinator have been manufactured using an exclusive
technique and rigorous quality controls conferring extraordinary duration and resistance.
However, there are several factors that may irreversibly reduce the properties of any
electrode that you should avoid in order to obtain the best performance and longest
lifespan of your chlorinator. These are:
- Operating with calcium build up on the electrodes
- Excessive chlorine concentration (chlorine is corrosive above 3.0 ppm)
- pH too low or too high
- Insufficient salt concentration
- Water temperature below 10º C
- Adding salt to the pool with the chlorinator working
- pH corrector acid injection before the cell housing, in the
skimmers or in the bottom drain inlet
We recommend you to periodically check the cell for calcium build up, corrosion or
leakage. The rods insulation and top sealing must be in perfect condition. If
there is any damaged please send the cell to the technical service for replacement.
NEVER operate the chlorinator if:
- Your installation is not provided with a residual current circuit breaker
- Water is not flowing through the cell
- Valves are closed
- The filter is being cleaned
- The swimming pool is being emptied
- The water temperature is below 10º C
- There is calcium build up on the electrodes
