4. INSTALLATION:_________________________________________________________________________________________________
4.1. Installation of the power supply
Always install the POWER SUPPLY of the Astralpool Chlore System VERTICALLY on a solid and rigid surface (wall) as shown in the
recommended installation diagram (Fig. 1). In order to guarantee a good state of conservation, the POWER SUPPLY of the AstralPool Chlore
Salt Electrolysis System should not be installed outdoors. The POWER SUPPLY should be installed a bit distant from the electrolysis cell so
that it cannot accidentally suffer water splashes.
Beware of corrosive atmosphere formation due to pH decreasing solutions (specially, those ones based on hydrochloric acid "HCl"). Do not
install the Astralpool Chlore System near to any stores of these chemicals. We strongly recommend the use of chemicals based on sodium
bisulphate or diluted sulphuric acid.
Power supply must be connected to the electrical control box of the pool, so that the pump and the Astralpool Chlore System are turned on
(and off) simultaneously.
4.2. Installation of the electrolysis cell
The electrolysis cell is made of a transparent polymer in whose interior the electrodes are placed. The electrolysis cell must be always
installed indoors and after the pool filter, and after any heating equipment that may be present (heat pumps, control systems, etc.).
The installation of the cell should allow easy access to the installed electrodes by the user. It is highly recommended to install the electrolysis
cell VERTICALLY, in a place of the pipe that can be easily isolated from the rest of the installation by two valves, so that the tasks of
maintenance can be carried out with no need of partial or total draining of the swimming pool.
Where the cell is installed on a by-pass (recommended option), a valve to regulate the flow must be introduced. Prior to installation, please
consider the following commentaries:

Recirculation there is not recirculation (flow) of water
through the cell or if flow is very low. If
electrolysis gases are not properly
removed through the electrolysis cell,
the generated gas bubble electrically
isolates
(electronic detection). Therefore, when
locating the electrodes in the cell, the
level sensor (auxiliary electrode) will
have to be located in the higher area of
the cell. The safest orientation is shown
in the
diagram.

3. WARNING: if the in-out valves of the
electrolysis cell are
simultaneously, the flow detector (gas
detector) will not work correctly, with
the consequent risk of cell breakdown.
Although this situation is extremely
unusual, since the Astralpool Chlore
Elite System has an additional external
flow detector (flow switch), it can be
easily avoided once the equipment has
been installed, by locking at opened
position the return valve
swimming pool, so it
accidentally be manipulated.
