Ideally the water flow should go from the electric connection side towards the opposite side. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: - It is always advised to install the cell on a by-pass. This assembly is MANDATORY when the flow is greater than 20 m3/h in order to prevent charge loss.

¬ Solutions : - Check the pump, the filter and the skimmer(s). Clean them if necessary. - Check the correct operation of the flow sensor. - Check the wiring connections (cell and flow sensor). 8.3 ‘CHECK CELL’ ¬ Interpretation: The electrode is dirty, scaled and/or used. ¬ Possible causes: Faulty filtering (pre-filter or diaphragm), water too hard (TH), electrode too old. ¬ Solutions : - Clean and/or check the filtering system (pump & filter).
PAGE 16
9 Maintenance To keep your TRi appliance in the best condition we recommend that you maintain it regularly. Inspecting and cleaning the electrode In zones where the water is hard (high TH) the Tri electrode may have to be cleaned. To clean the TRi electrode: 1. Turn off the TRi chlorinator and the filtering, close the isolation valves and remove the cell cap. 2. Unscrew the retaining ring and remove the electrode from the cell body. The ring is crimped allowing the use of a lever in case it gets stuck.
PAGE 17
10 Use safety ¬ The Zodiac TRi must be installed by a pool professional. Its installation and use must comply with the recommendations contained in this manual. ¬ During any interventions on the pool’s hydraulic circuit and/or filtering system, remember to switch off the TRi chlorinator first ( ON/OFF button) and then switch off filtering and the mains power supply. ¬ During a filter backwash your TRi chlorinator MUST be turned off ON/OFF button).
