- Location: Install the electrode in the designated housing or cell within your pool's filtration and treatment system. This is typically after the filter and heater, but before any chemical feeders.
- Connection: Carefully insert the electrode into its housing. Ensure a secure and watertight fit. Connect any electrical cables according to the wiring diagram provided with your main pool system or the electrode's specific instructions.
- Verification: Once installed, open the valves, prime the pump, and check for any leaks.
- Power On: Restore power to the system and proceed to the operating instructions.
5. Operating Instructions
The Astralpool ELECTRODE RECAMB.New Sprint CHLORE Plus operates in conjunction with a compatible control unit to produce chlorine alternatives for pool sanitation. Its operation is largely automated once properly integrated into your system.
- System Activation: Turn on your pool's main control system. The electrode unit will begin its function as directed by the control panel.
- Monitoring: Regularly monitor your pool's water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels) using appropriate test kits. Adjust the output settings on your control unit as needed to maintain desired water quality.
- Water Balance: Proper water balance is essential for the longevity and efficiency of the electrode. Maintain recommended levels for pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your electrode.
- Electrode Cleaning: Periodically inspect the electrode plates for scale buildup. If scale is present, clean the plates according to the instructions provided with your main pool system's manual or by gently soaking them in a mild acid solution (e.g., diluted muriatic acid or a commercial cell cleaner) specifically designed for this purpose. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
- Visual Inspection: Annually inspect the electrode for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check connections for tightness.
- Replacement: Electrodes have a finite lifespan. Replace the electrode when its performance significantly diminishes or when recommended by the manufacturer, typically indicated by your control system.
