Important Information About Your Chlorinator - Henden HSMC15 Installation & Owner's Manual

Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator Installation Manual
PERFORMANCE & LIFE OF YOUR HENDEN SALT AND MINERAL CHLORINATOR
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR CHLORINATOR
POOL BUILDERS: Please cover this information with your customer during the
new pool handover.
Sanitisers are a valuable piece of pool sanitising equipment and must be cared for to get the best
performance and life span.
There are THREE main factors that will damage your Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator and reduce
the life of the product. Please monitor the following factors in accordance with your installation &
operating instructions.
1. MAINTAIN RECOMMENDED TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) LEVELS
RECOMMENDED OPERATING RANGE: 4,000 - 6,000ppm
• Run the HSMC at the salt levels stated within this document and on the product to ensure
optimum sanitiser output and cell life.
• Operating this device at low salt levels will damage the cell and reduce its life.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warning when the TDS levels are low.
• If no action is taken to rectify the TDS levels, damage to the cell may result which will not be
covered under warranty.
2. MONITOR & MAINTAIN YOUR Henden HSMC CELL
The Henden Salt and Mineral Chlorinator has a "Reverse Polarity" cell.
• To keep your HSMC in the best possible condition, regular monitoring of the electrolytic cell is
recommended. The 'cell' is the clear plastic housing containing the plates.
• During the sanitisation process a white powdery calcium scale may naturally build up on the
titanium plates in the cell. Monitor the cell to prevent excessive scale build up. Excessive scale
build up will cause damage to your cell, and dramatically reduce its efficiency and lifespan.
• Reverse Polarity models have low maintenance cells that minimise scale build up.
• The control panel displays a red LED indicator warning when the cell requires cleaning.
• If calcium scale builds up please clean the cell, following the cleaning instructions provided
on page 37.
NEVER: Use concentrated acid to clean your cell.
NEVER: Leave the cell in cleaning solution for extended periods of time
NEVER: Use metal implements, scourers or brushes to clean your cell
3. BALANCED POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
• Salt TDS levels MUST be maintained at 4,000 - 6,000ppm for optimum performance
and lifespan
• Calcium hardness levels MUST be kept within the ideal range of 200 - 275ppm (for concrete
and tiled pools) and 100 - 225ppm (for other surfaces) to prevent excessive scale build up and
damage to equipment.
pH levels MUST be kept to ideal levels to prevent damage to equipment and pool surfaces,
and to obtain optimum chlorinator effectiveness.
• Total alkalinity and stabiliser levels must also be kept in an ideal range.
Note: Please refer to the POOL WATER CHEMISTRY chart on page 40 for more information.
