Page 3: General Overview
GENERAL OVERVIEW Congratulations! You have purchased an AstralPool VX series Chlorinator. Please read the instructions carefully and your purchase will provide you with years of trouble free use. Your AstralPool VX Chlorinator works by converting some of the salt in your pool into chlorine which starts to destroy algae, bacteria and viruses in your pool water thereby sanitising your pool. -
Page 4: Cell Installation
CELL INSTALLATION The chlorinator cell must be located last in the pipe work just prior to the return to the pool. If valves are installed between the Chlorinator and the pool outlet, it is essential that they cannot deadhead the pump. If the pressure in the cell exceeds 150kPa and/or the water temperature exceeds 40 degrees C, the cell may fail. -
Page 5: Pool Preparation
POOL PREPARATION The chlorinator requires a minimum 3000ppm of salt but the recommended level is 4000ppm therefore add 4kgs of salt for every 1000 litres of water (a typical pool of around 50,000 litres requires 200kg of salt). Salt should always be added at the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve. Running the pump will mix the water and speed the dissolving process. -

(a) LOW SALT: This indicates that the concentration of salt has reduced within you pool. -
Page 9: Safety Backwash
SAFETY BACKWASH When backwashing your sand filter, the pool water does not pass through the cell. During the backwash and rinse process, most chlorinators will build up potentially explosive hydrogen gas in the Chlorinator Cell. The Safety Backwash function allows the pump to turn on without applying power to the Chlorinator Cell. This prevents the build up of hydrogen gas during the back wash and rinse process. -
Page 10: Stabiliser
STABILISER As previously mentioned, sunlight rapidly dissipates the amount of free chlorine in your pool. Chlorine stabiliser greatly reduces this effect. Without stabiliser, you may need to run your Chlorinator and filtration system up to 16 hours per day longer!!! Keep the Stabiliser reading between 30 and 60ppm. -
Page 11: Troubleshooting
Maintenance of your Chlorinator Maintenance Schedule: Your new product incorporates moving parts and withstands high velocity water with chemicals in it. Some of these parts will wear in the normal course of use and require regular checks and maintenance. Performing these checks and maintenance will identify parts that have worn and require repair/replacement before further serious damage is sustained. -
