Owner`s manual

Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chloride.
When your chlorinator is installed a measured quantity of salt is dissolved in the pool
water to make it slightly salty. As part of the daily ltration cycle, the pool water is
passed through a electrolysis cell to produce chlorine which is dissolved instantly into
the water. Your chlorinator also produces ozone in the cell, as a by-product.
In simple, non-technical terms, the chlorine instantly starts to destroy bacteria, viruses,
and algae and in doing this, reverts to dissolved salt. This cycle continues, with more
new chlorine being produced from the salt water in the chlorinator cell, sanitising the
pool and changing once more back to dissolved salt.
Each day, when the chlorinator and ltration systems are switched on, dust and debris
are trapped by the lter and the chlorinator sanitises the water to make it safe and
sparkling clean.

In addition to running off a timer, the Clearwater Ei unit can also be operated
manually by pressing the button. The Clearwater Ei unit will run until the next
‘OFF’ time is reached, then will operate from the timers.
NOTE: If the Clearwater Ei unit is manually turned on and no ‘OFF’
time is set, the Clearwater Ei unit will run for a maximum of
30 hours continuously, then turn ‘OFF’ to prevent over chlorination.

USING AN
EXTERNAL TIMER

In some cases it may be desirable to connect the Clearwater Ei unit to an external
time switch. In this case, the chlorine output must turn on whenever power is
supplied to the power pack. To set the Clearwater Ei unit up to run this mode, NO
TIMERS should be set.
Clear any timers that are set, refer to page 15. (A small ’T’ symbol will be visible
in the top right corner of the screen if a timer is set).
Turn the chlorine output on and set to the desired output level. (See ‘SETTING
THE OUTPUT LEVEL’).
Set the external timer to the desired setting.
