6. Pump outlet and Fuse holder

3 pin pump outlet to supply power to

the pump and the fuse holder are

located under the unit.

7. TEST button

Used to check if 100% is obtainable

with age of cell and salinity level.

Installing the Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator Cell

The Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator cell must be installed horizontally (level) within 5

degrees, in the return to pool line. The two plumbing inlets must point down. Heaters and

other equipment in the return to pool line must be installed after the cell (i.e. between the cell

and ﬁ lter).

Mounting the Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator Power Pack

The Power Pack must be mounted on a vertical wall or fence within 1.5 metres of the cell and

at least 1 metre above the ground. The Power Pack must also be positioned to allow its

supply lead to be plugged into a 10 amp 240 volt power point.

Select a suitable place to attach the Power Pack, clear from hazards. Ensure that the location

selected is well ventilated (allowing plenty of airﬂ ow behind the unit) and is not in direct

sunlight. If mounted in direct sunlight, the LED indicators will be less visible. The suitable

location must not be attached to, or on top of a source producing large amounts of heat

(e.g. metal fence or shed wall). The Power Pack must be ﬁ xed securley via the mounting hole

located at the top of the unit.

Connecting the Pool Pump

Before you connect the pool pump, make sure that your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water

Chlorinator is disconnected from power. Plug the pool pump into the pump socket on the

base of the unit. Reconnect your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator to the power point or

external timer/control unit. Connecting a pump load greater than 1.5kW, or the use of

double adapters/stackable plugs will void the warranty.

What Salt Concentration to Use

We recommend that your salt concentration be maintained at a level of between 4000 and

5000 ppm.

Under no circumstances should salt, algaecides, chemicals and any other product other than

DE be added to the pool via the skimmer box while in operation.

Installation

Chlorine Control

Your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator has been designed to operate over a range of salt

levels, water temperatures and running times. Variable chlorine control has been provided to

compensate for these variations. When ﬁ rst starting the unit, and where maximum chlorine

production is needed, your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator should be set at 100% so

the LED's are indicating maximum on the chlorine output scale, or as high as prevailing

conditions will allow. To operate the pump and ﬁ lter only without the cell, simply disconnect

your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator from power, and plug the pump directly into the

240 volt power point.

Your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator has three different output settings.

• 100% - the electrode will always run at 100%.

The lower two outputs are timed over a one hour cycle

• 75% output will run at 100% for 45 mins and 0% for 15 mins.

• 50% output will run at 100% for 30mins and 0% for 30 mins.

On these settings there will be times when there will be no chlorine production from the

cell.

Chemical Balance Guide

Your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator is designed to be used for swimming pool

water, which needs to be balanced in accordance with Langlier Saturation Index, with a pH

level of 7.2 to 7.6 and maintains the recommended levels of sanitizer. (i.e 2 - 3 ppm of free

chlorine). Regular water analysis and advice on correct addition of chemicals and/or

products to achieve suitable water quality and balance by a reputable professional pool shop

will ensure bather health and comfort and extended equipment service life.

PLEASE NOTE: Proof (i.e. hard copy) of regular water analysis by a reputable professional

pool shop will be required as evidence of suitable water quality and balance in the event of a

warranty claim.

Cell Maintenance Frequency

Your Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator has been designed to operate for extended

periods of time with a minimum of maintenance. The cell cleaning function is performed

automatically. However manual cleaning on a regular six monthly basis will enhance chlorine

production and extended equipment service life.

Cell Cleaning

Manual Procedure

1. Remove the Surechlor S2500 Salt Water Chlorinator plug from

240 volt power point.

2. Remove cell from plumbing.

3. Turn cell upside down (inlets facing upwards) and place on a level

non-metallic surface in a well ventilated area.

4. Prepare your cell cleaning solution by following the directions

supplied by the chemial manufacturer.

5. Carefully pour sufﬁ cient cleaning solution into the upturned cell so

as to fully cover the metal electrodes.

6. Allow to stand for 10 minutes then ﬂ ush out with clean water.

7. If electrodes still show white deposits, repeat the above steps.

It is recommended that a warm water detergent solution be used to soak the electrodes at

this point if there is any evidence of body fats, oils or grease.

8. Reﬁ t the cell to plumbing line making sure both rubber “O” ring seals are in place.

9. Re-connect the Power Pack plug to 240 volt power point and switch on.

HANDLING ACID: Rubber gloves and protective eyewear must be worn. DO NOT put used

acid solution into the pool.

Maintainance

General Warnings

The Warranty will be void if the Power Pack is installed or operated:

• On, or less than 1 metre from the ground.

• Placed in a location that can be ﬂ ooded by storm water or by accidental immersion.

• Where the airﬂ ow is obstructed, i.e. within a poorly ventilated auxiliary enclosure.

• Mounted close to, against, or on top of an auxillary heat source (e.g metal fence or

shed wall).

• With a pump connected to the 240 volt outlet socket greater than 1.5Kw continuous

capacity.

• From an electrical supply socket which is not rated to supply 10 amps at 220 – 240 volts

50Hz and is not adequately protected by the correct size fuse or circuit breakers.

• Extension leads are not recommended for use with this equipment because they are

unsafe in and around the pool zone.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent

or similarly qualiﬁ ed person in order to avoid a hazard.

For extended equipment service life and peace of mind, we recommend that your Surechlor

Salt Water Chlorinator is serviced regularly on a six monthly basis by a reputable

professional serive technician.
