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
S2500
Salt Water Chlorinator is serviced regularly on a six monthly basis by a reputable
professional serive technician.
