Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your Zelia ZLT Electrolyser. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified pool professional.
1. Placement
Install the electrolysis cell in the pool's filtration circuit, after the filter and heater (if applicable), and before any chemical injection points. Ensure easy access for maintenance.
2. Plumbing Connections
- The Zelia ZLT is designed for 50 mm diameter pipes.
- The cell can be mounted in-line or via a bypass configuration. A bypass is recommended for easier maintenance and flow control.
- Use the included union fittings to connect the cell to your existing plumbing. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Verify that the water flow direction through the cell matches the arrows indicated on the unit.
3. Electrical Connections
- Connect the main control unit to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet.
- Ensure the power supply matches the requirements specified on the unit's label.
- The unit should be protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety.
Note: For detailed wiring diagrams and specific installation steps, refer to the full installation guide provided with your product.
Operating Instructions
The Zelia ZLT Electrolyser features an intuitive interface for easy control of your pool's water treatment.
1. Initial Startup
- Before starting, ensure the pool water chemistry is balanced (pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness).
- Add the recommended amount of salt to the pool water. Consult your pool professional for the ideal salt level (typically 3-5 g/L).
- Turn on the pool pump to ensure water flow through the electrolyser cell.
- Connect the Zelia ZLT to the power supply. The backlit display will illuminate.
2. Adjusting Production Settings
Use the integrated controls on the cell to adjust the chlorine production level. The display will show the current production percentage or mode.
- Production Modes: The unit offers various production modes (e.g., P1-P5 for timed operation, P6-P8 for combined timed and external control). Refer to the main unit image for examples (P1 1h, P2 2h, P3 4h, P4 8h, P5 12h, P6 1h+4h, P7 2h+12h, P8 4h+8h, PA Ext).
- Thermoregulation: The system can automatically adjust production based on water temperature, optimizing efficiency and protecting the cell in cold conditions.
- Cover Detection: If connected to a pool cover sensor, the unit can reduce production when the cover is closed to prevent over-chlorination.
3. Monitoring
Regularly check the display for status indicators and error messages. The integrated flow detector will stop production if there is insufficient water flow, protecting the cell.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Zelia ZLT Electrolyser.
1. Cell Cleaning
- The Zelia ZLT features a self-cleaning cell, which reverses polarity to shed scale buildup. This significantly reduces manual cleaning frequency.
- Despite self-cleaning, periodic visual inspection of the cell plates is recommended. If significant scale buildup is observed, manual cleaning may be necessary.
- To manually clean, disconnect power, remove the cell, and soak it in a diluted acid solution (e.g., muriatic acid diluted 1:10 with water) until scale dissolves. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water before reinstallation.
2. Water Chemistry
Maintain proper pool water chemistry, especially salt levels, pH, and alkalinity, as per manufacturer recommendations. Incorrect water chemistry can reduce cell lifespan and efficiency.
3. Winterization
Before winter, disconnect the electrolyser from power, drain the cell, and store it in a dry, frost-free location. Do not allow water to freeze inside the cell.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, contact a qualified technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No chlorine production | Low salt level, insufficient water flow, dirty cell, power off, low water temperature. | Check salt level and add salt if necessary. Ensure pump is running and filter is clean. Clean the cell. Verify power connection. Check water temperature (production stops below certain temp). |
| "Low Flow" error | Insufficient water flow through the cell. | Check pool pump operation, clean skimmer and pump baskets, backwash filter, ensure valves are open. |
| Display not working | No power, internal fault. | Check power supply and circuit breaker. If power is present, contact technical support. |
