Day To Day Operation - EcoSalt M0808 Manual De Instalación Y De Mantenimiento

Hydrogen Gas is a by – product of the chlorine producing process. A Gas Sensor has
been incorporated into the Unit and Cell, which will switch off chlorination if gas is
detected in the Cell Housing or there is no water flow.
EcoSalt Units are also fitted with a Thermal Cut – Out to prevent overheating. If the
temperature rises too high, power is automatically disconnected. The Unit will resume
operation when it cools down.

DAY TO DAY OPERATION:

Four Prime rules must be observed if your unit is to give the best possible service:
1. STABILISER
The importance of pool stabiliser cannot be over – emphasised. It is essential in helping
retain chlorine in your pool. Chlorine is rapidly dissipated by sunlight and the use of
stabiliser will reduce this dissipation dramatically. Without stabiliser, it may be
necessary to run the Unit for up to three times as long!
Stabiliser should be added at the rate of 500 grams for every 10,000 litres of water.
Stabiliser should be maintained at a level of 30 – 50 ppm. Before adding more
stabilisers, have your pool water analysed at your pool shop to ensure that you do not
add too much.
Please consult your local EcoSalt Dealer for more information on stabilising your
pool.
2. pH AND TOTAL ALKALINITY:
A correct pH level must be maintained to prevent problems such as black spot, staining,
cloudy water, etc. An incorrect pH level can damage the pool. Correct salt levels are as
follows; Fibreglass – 7.0 to 7.4 Other pools – 7.2 to 7.6 If you allow the pH level to rise to
8.0 or above, the chlorine required could be as much as three times the normal amount.
To lower the pH adds HYDROCHLORIC ACID. To raise the pH level adds SODIUM
BICARBONATE OR SODA ASH.
Total Alkalinity should not be confused with pH, although the two are closely related.
Total Alkalinity determines the speed and ease of pH change. It is measured in ppm –
the ideal range is 80 – 150 ppm, or refer to your pool professional.
You should use a test kit which includes a test for total Alkalinity. Low Total Alkalinity
can cause unstable pH levels – i.e. An inability to keep the pH constant may cause
