Worn Out Cell
The cell will eventually wear out and chlorine production will decrease. This can
be offset by adding salt to the pool, with the unit set to winter mode. However,
there will come a time when, even with increased salinity and in winter mode,
production will be insufficient and the cell will have to be replaced.

INTER
ODE
When the temperature of the water drops (to below 20°C), the unit will produce
less chlorine, which may activate the low salinity protection system. To prevent
this, select "WINTER MODE" (off season) as soon as the temperature of the
water falls too low. Production will be reduced by 15% - from 100% to 85% - and
the "WINTER MODE" indicator will come on.
The unit should not be in winter mode during the season as it reduces production
and alters the setting of the protective system.
6) MAINTENANCE
There are three essential points to monitor:
The cleanliness of the cell (no white deposits)
The salinity of the water
The water balance (pH).

LEANING THE
Mineral salts and calcium are deposited on the electrodes and in the tube during the
process of electrolysis. These deposits can impede flow in the cell and reduce chlorine
production by damaging the unit. This means that it is absolutely essential to check the
cell regularly and clean it whenever necessary. The speed at which these deposits can
form varies from one pool to another, and depends on the following factors:
Water hardness
Water temperature
Water pH
The use of chlorinated lime
