OMEGA SALT WATER CHLORINATOR - INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION CELL: -
The Poolstore OMEGA cell housing will directly accept 50mm
pipe.
If 40mm pipe is being used, glue in reducers supplied with
the chlorinator to both the inlet and outlet ports of the
cell housing.
Install cell housing in return line to pool as the last
item of equipment closest to the pool. Where large capacity
heaters (i.e. 24kW - 200Mj or greater) are used, it will
be necessary to install the cell in a heater by-pass line.
The elevated temperatures of the heated water can effect
the performance of the cell and in some instances the cell
and housing. Warranty claims will not be accepted where
this precaution is not taken.
INSTALLATION: -
Firmly affix the power pack in a protected location to a
rigid surface approximately 1.5m minimum above floor or
ground level. DO NOT connect the POOLSTORE OMEGA chlorinator
via an extension lead.
Plug the POOLSTORE OMEGA power lead into the supply socket
outlet, which is turned "OFF" and make sure that
the CELL switch is in the OFF position and that the TIMER
OVERRIDE SWITCH is "ON" (This is positioned in
the top left hand side of the time-clock). Plug the filter
pump supply plug into the bottom of the POOLSTORE OMEGA
power pack. DO NOT plug a double adaptor into the pump outlet
as by doing so you will negate an inbuilt safety feature.
Set the time-clock by pushing the pins in towards the centre
for the time or times that you wish the pump and chlorinator
to operate. Set the existing time by rotating knob in centre
of time-clock.
Now make sure that all valves, if any, in the pools recirculation
system are in the "OPEN" position and that the
filter pump is primed with water and then turn on the power
pack at the supply socket.
Note that the pump is now running, but that the chlorinator
is OFF. The CELL SWITCH ("NORMAL-OFF-BOOST") should
NOT be turned ON until all the salt in the pool has dissolved.
This will take from 48hours to 72 hours depending on the
pool water temperature and the amount of circulation. During
this time the filter will run continuously. To hasten the
dissolving of the pool salt, we recommend brushing the pool
floor occasionally to get water circulating around the salt
(much like stirring sugar in tea or coffee). When all the
salt has dissolved, and not before, turn the chlorinator
on by the CELL switch to NORMAL position. You will notice
a cloud of small bubbles being discharged from the cell
plates - and the chlorinator monitor lights will glow.
