- Low Salt Alarm: Alerts you when salt levels fall below the optimal threshold for chlorine production.
- Self-Cleaning Titanium Plates: Automatically reverses positive and negative poles to prevent dirt accumulation and corrosion, ensuring stable and efficient electrolysis.
- Stable Chlorine Production: Features stable voltage and current for optimized cell lifetime.
5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the chlorinator's performance. Please follow these steps carefully:
5.1 Pipe Connection Options
The chlorinator supports two main pipe connection types. Identify your pool's pipe size before proceeding.
- Internal Pipe (PVC pipe): For pipes with an outer diameter of 50mm (2 inches) or 48.3mm (1.9 inches).
- External Pipe (Other hoses): For hoses with an inner diameter of 1.25 inches (32mm) or 1.5 inches (38mm).
5.2 Installation Schematics
Refer to the following diagrams for typical installation setups:
6. Operating Instructions
The chlorinator can be operated via its digital panel or through the mobile app.
6.1 Control Panel Overview
6.2 Mobile App Control
The built-in Bluetooth allows for convenient control and monitoring from your smartphone within 30 meters.

- Salt Dosage Control: Manage salt addition for optimal levels.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your chlorinator.
7.1 Self-Cleaning Titanium Plates
The chlorinator features self-cleaning titanium plates that automatically reverse polarity to prevent mineral buildup. This reduces the need for manual cleaning and extends the life of the electrolytic cell.
7.2 Salt Level Management
Maintain optimal salt levels for efficient chlorine production. The system will alert you if salt levels are too low.
8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your chlorinator.
8.1 F2 Water Flow Error
An F2 error indicates an issue with water flow through the chlorinator. This can be due to insufficient flow or a problem with the flow switch impeller.
Video 1: F2 Water Flow Error Troubleshooting. This video demonstrates how to identify and troubleshoot an F2 error, which indicates insufficient water flow or an issue with the flow switch impeller. It shows the difference between no water, sufficient flow, and insufficient flow conditions, and advises checking the wiring and connection status of the water flow switch.
Possible Causes and Solutions for F2 Error:
- No Water Flow: Ensure your pool pump is running and water is circulating through the system. Check for closed valves or blockages in the plumbing.
- Insufficient Flow Rate: The impeller of the flow switch may be shaking, indicating that the water flow rate is not sufficient for proper operation. Verify that your pump is operating at the correct capacity for your pool size and that filters are clean.
- Flow Switch Impeller Issue: If the impeller is vertical (indicating flow) but an F2 error persists, check the wiring of the water flow switch and its connection status. It might be faulty or improperly connected.
8.2 Low Salt Alarm
If the low salt alarm activates, it means the salt concentration in your pool water is below the optimal range for chlorine production.
- Solution: Add pool salt according to your pool volume and the recommended salt concentration (see Specifications section). Allow time for the salt to dissolve and circulate before rechecking.
8.3 Other Alarms
The system is equipped with various alarms for protection:
- Over Voltage / Over Current / Short Circuit / Overheating: If any of these alarms trigger, immediately disconnect power to the unit. Consult the Specifications section for technical limits and contact support if the issue persists after ensuring proper installation and environmental conditions.
