SAFETY WARNINGS

This appliance must be installed by national wiring codes and with a means of disconnection incorporated in any fixed wiring. High voltage can shock, burn, or cause death or serious property damage.

1. In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT use an extension cord to connect the unit to the electric supply.
2. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a qualified electrician.
3. The system must be permanently connected to an individual circuit breaker, especially when pump power is connected from the pump socket of the device.
4. This electricity supply must be connected through a residual current device (RCD) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
5. Electrical grounding must be connected before connecting to electrical power. Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause an electric shock or serious or fatal injury.
6. Before servicing, unplug the power plug from the electrical socket and allow the device to cool for at least 15 minutes.
7. Never unplug the cell cable during operation.

WARNING

This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

HYPERTHERMIA

• Always unplug the device from its socket or power source and allow it to cool before opening the enclosure. There is high risk of shock and burn injuries from touching the internal component.

OMPRESS AIR HAZARDOUS

SAFE POOL SANITIZING WORKING PRINCIPLE

Chlorine is a highly effective sanitizing agent that is commonly used in swimming pools. It can prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. This chlorinator uses the process of electrolysis to break down the salt (NaCl) in the swimming pool water to produce chlorine gas (Cl₂ ). Chlorine production can be regulated from the control unit by altering the electric current flowing through the titanium electrode in the cell housing.

WATER CHEMISTRY

WARNING: It is important to note that the EMAUX Chlorinator does not maintain the water chemistry of your swimming pool water; it simply produces chlorine from a mild salt solution.

To ensure that your chemical balances is within the guidelines listed below and to encourage a sparkling clean, you should also have your water tested regularly at your local pool shop.

Salt level	3000 – 4000 ppm
	3000 – 4000 ppm
	4000 – 5000 ppm
Free Chlorine	1.0 – 3.0 ppm
pH	7.2 – 7.6
Cyanuric acid (stabilizer)	30 – 50 ppm
Total Alkalinity	80 – 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness	200 – 400 ppm
Metals	0ppm

CHLORINE LEVEL CALCULATION

• It is important to note that the EMAUX Chlorinator does not maintain the water chemistry of your swimming pool water; it simply produces chlorine from a mild salt solution.

SALT LEVEL

• The amount of salt required is between 4000 and 6000 ppm. This can be done by adding 4- 6 kg of salt per 1,000 litres of water directly into the pool water.
• A low concentration of salt (below 2500 ppm) will cause premature cell failure.
• A High concentration of salt (above 6000 ppm) may cause electro-oxidation and corrosion damage to the Stainless Steel pool fixtures and fittings.

Salt is required according to the volume of the pool

Pool volume (m3)	Salt (kg)	Pool volume (Gallons)	Salt (Pound)
10	40	2,642	88
15	60	3,963	132
20	80	5,283	176
25	100	6,604	220
30	120	7,925	264
35	140	9,246	308
40	160	10,567	352
50	200	13,209	440
60	240	15,850	528
70	280	18,492	616
80	320	21,134	704
90	360	23,775	792
100	400	26,417	880
110	440	29,059	968
120	480	31,700	1,056
150	600	39,626	1,320

Note: Table based on 4000 ppm of salt per m3 of water.

TYPE OF SALT

WARNING: The most common salt used in swimming pools with Salt Electrolysis is 99% pure Sodium Chlorine (NaCl).
DO NOT use the following types of salts:

1. Rock salt.
2. Salt with more than 1% yellow prussiate of soda.
3. Salt with more than 1% of anti-caking additives.
4. Iodized salt.
   Salt with additives or impurities will cause premature cell failure.

2.5 ADDING AND REMOVING SALT FROM THE SWIMMING POOL WATER
Before adding the salt into the pool, place the multiport valve on “ Filtration ” or “ Recirculation” and then turn the filtration pump on.
Add the salt directly into the pool evenly around the pool or ballast tank. Do not allow the salt to sit in a pile on the bottom of the pool. Do not add a large amount of salt near the skimmer at the same time. It will damage the unit. Keep the filtration system running for 24 hours using the Main Drain or vacuum suction nozzle as a main suction line. The only way to remove the salt from the pool water is to partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water.

INSTALLATION

Open the cover

• Insert the tools (screw driver) near the buckle position
• Pick up the cover and then push it open

Connections

• Emaux Chemical controller can connect with 3 dosing pumps, 1 circulation pump, and 4 devices.

Hot contact vs Cold contact

• Hot contact (Dosing pump): The contact has electricity, which same as the input power of this chemical controller. You can directly connect the dosing pump L/N to the connector for use

• Cold contact (Device relay): The contact is a switch only. Max 2A, 240V. A relay switch is highly recommended for the user to connect to an external device:

CONTROL AND SETUP

• The lower the water’s temperature, the lower the salt water’s conductivity will be.
• This, in turn, will cause the SSCnano to work much harder than normal to produce chlorine.
• Algae and bacteria don’t grow well in cold environments. Thus, very little chlorine is needed; simply adjust the chlorine percentage to an ideal rate.

CLEANING THE TITANIUM CELL

1. Turn the filtration system off.
2. Remove the salt cell from the housing.
3. Add the salt cell to the cleaning mixture making avoiding contact with the terminals.
4. Wait five to ten minutes for the Salt Cell to be cleaned.
5. If any parts of calcium are stuck or will not dissolve, carefully remove them with a smooth plastic instrument.
6. Once the salt cell is clean, rinse with fresh water and place it back in the housing, and tighten the cell or collar.
7. Turn the system back to the automatic setting or the timer. Dispose of the cleaning mixture.

If the salt cell has a heavy deposit of calcium that has not been removed after ten minutes in the cleaning solution, we recommend using a “Cell Cleaner” product, which is not as corrosive as hydrochloric acid. The cell can then be left in the cleaner for up to an hour, and will completely remove the calcium.
We recommended using Salt Cell Cleaner at all times over the traditional Hydrochloric mixture, it is a safer alternative and not harmful to your Salt Cell at al,l and reusable.
