13. MAINTENANCE
SETTING OFF
- Observe if there is air in the inner part of the analysis camera. If it the case, eliminate it through the drain (F).
- Clean the cartridge filter when it is dirty. Its function is to avoid that it gets into the analysis camera. For this purpose, it is necessary for
it to be clean.
- Before using the electrodes, check that they do not have any dirt or crystallisation. In the case the electrodes shows any irregularity,
put the cleaning solution for two minutes.
- Adjust the pH, ORP probe/s, and the inorganic chlorine cell when we observe a deviation in the PoolWatch Top Inorganic Chlorine
reading and our comparator.
- The pH, ORP probe, the membrane and the electrolyte of the Inorganic chlorine cell have an approximate life span of 6 months. The
duration depends on the characteristics of water and of the use we give the electrode. However, since it is a rubbing element, it is not
included in the guarantee.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTRODES
Revise and examine the electrode once a month approximately) and clean it if necessary.
To clean the electrode, introduce it in the cleaning solution, only the electrode extreme (glass membrane) for two minutes. It is
necessary to introduce the electrodes in conservative solution of KCl 3 M for 5 minutes.
Clean and maintain the filter once a month with a draft water.
STORAGE
The pH electrode must have the extreme (wet zone) in conservative solution KCl 3 M. For this reason, you have to pour a little trimolar
solution in the protective cap or casing.
It is essential that the cap or casing sponge is humid in that solution.
ATTENTION: The pH electrode can not be stored for an unlimited time. Hence, we advise you not to keep them
for more than three months.
ATTENTION: Do not immerse the electrode in distilled water, this may cause a premature ageing.
ATTENTION: Not to manipulate the end of the probes, where they connect the cable, with the wet hands because
it might produce a short circuit and spoil rapidly the electrode of reference and therefore, the life of the probes.
USEFUL LIFE
The pH, ORP probes has a natural ageing despite you use it according to the rules, the electrode useful life will be between half a year
and two years maximum.
(The pH, ORP probes do not have a guarantee)
STOP OF THE INSTALLATION
In case the swimming pool is not used during the year (end of season, works, etc.) the PoolWatch Top Inorganic Chlorine must be
disconnected and the pH,ORP probes and the chlorine cell of the inside of the chamber of analysis must be taken out. The pH, ORP
probes will be immersed by its crystal part for a minute in cleansing solution. Next, clean it with water, putting a plastic protection on its
extreme. Finally, keep it in its box. Clean the Chlorine cell with water and put it in the housing (7). The orifices where the electrodes of
the chamber of analysis are placed must be closed using two plastic cups, in order to avoid dirtiness getting in. Protect the PoolWatch
Top Inorganic Chlorine outfit from dirtiness and humidity.
