2. GENERAL FEATURES:___________________________________________________________________________________________
When Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System is installed, a quantity of salt is dissolved into the swimming pool water. This salty water
then passes through the electrolysis cell that is located in the plant room. The Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System consists of two
elements: an electrolysis cell and a power supply. The electrolysis cell contains a quantity of titanium plates (electrodes).
When a weak electrical current is passed through the plates inside the electrolysis cell, chlorine is produced. Maintaining a level of chlorine
in swimming pool water keeps the water sanitised and healthy to swim in. The Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System will manufacture
chlorine whenever the pool circulation system (pump and filter) is operational.
The power supply is provided with various safety devices, which are activated in case of irregular operation of the system, as well as a
microprocessor driven control system.
The Astralpool Chlore Salt Electrolysis Systems have an automatic cleaning system that avoids scale formation on the electrodes. Moreover,
Astralpool Chlore Smart+PH Series include a built-in pH controller.

3. SAFETY WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:_____________________________________________________________________
The equipment should be assembled and handled by truly qualified people.
Current electrical and accident prevention regulations should be followed.
Under no circumstances will the manufacturer be held responsible for the assembly, installation or start-up, nor any handling or
fitting of components unless they are carried out on its premises.
The AstralPool Chlore Salt Electrolysis Systems (42350, 42351, 42352, 52569, 52570, 52571) operate at 230VAC, 50/60 Hz. Do
not attempt to alter the system to operate at a different voltage.
Check all the electrical connectors are well tightened to avoid false contacts and their consequent overheating.
Before installing or replacing any component, disconnect the equipment from the mains, and use exclusively spare parts supplied
by AstralPool.
Taking into account the fact that the equipment produces heat, it must be installed in places with sufficient ventilation. Fan
openings should be kept free of any element that could obstruct then. The equipment should not be installed near flammable
materials.
The AstralPool Chlore Salt Electrolysis Systems (42350, 42351, 42352, 52569, 52570, 52571) have a protection degree of IP24.
They should never be installed in places susceptible to flooding.
If the electrolysis equipment has no cover detection system, it is important to reduce its production to the minimum while the pool is
covered. Otherwise, an excess of chlorine could degrade the pool materials.

4. INSTALLATION:_________________________________________________________________________________________________
4.1. Installation of the power supply
Always install the POWER SUPPLY of the Astralpool Chlore System VERTICALLY on a solid and rigid surface (wall) as shown in the
recommended installation diagram (Fig. 1). In order to guarantee a good state of conservation, the POWER SUPPLY should be installed in a
well-ventilated dry place. Due to IP degree of the POWER SUPPLY of the AstralPool Chlore Salt Electrolysis System should not be installed
outdoors. The POWER SUPPLY should be installed a bit distant from the electrolysis cell so that it cannot accidentally suffer water splashes.
Beware of corrosive atmosphere formation due to pH decreasing solutions (specially, those ones based on hydrochloric acid "HCl". Do not
install the Astralpool Chlore System near to any stores of these chemicals. We strongly recommend the use of chemicals based on sodium
bisulphate or diluted sulphuric acid.
Power supply must be connected to the electrical control box of the pool, so that the pump and the Astralpool Chlore System are turned on
(and off) simultaneously.
4.2. Installation of the electrolysis cell
The electrolysis cell is made of a transparent polymer in whose interior the electrodes are placed. The electrolysis cell must be always
installed indoors and after the pool filter, and after any heating equipment that may be present (heat pumps, control systems, etc.).
The installation of the cell should allow easy access to the installed electrodes by the user. It is highly recommended to install the electrolysis
cell VERTICALLY, in a place of the pipe that can be easily isolated from the rest of the installation by two valves, so that the tasks of
maintenance can be carried out with no need of partial or total draining of the swimming pool.
Where the cell is installed on a by-pass (recommended option), a valve to regulate the flow must be introduced. Prior to installation, please
consider the following commentaries might be considered:
:
Fig. 2 Fig. 3
Fig. 4
1. Flow direction marked in the cell
must be respected. (ver. apartado 9).
Recirculation system must guarantee
the minimum flow stated in the Table of
Technical Specifications for each
model (see Section 8)
2. The system flow detector activates if
there is not recirculation (flow) of water
through the cell or if flow is very low. If
electrolysis gases are not properly
removed through the electrolysis cell,
the generated gas bubble electrically
isolates the auxiliary electrode
(electronic detection). Therefore, when
locating the electrodes in the cell, the
level probe (auxiliary electrode) will
have to be located in the higher area of
the cell. The safest orientation is shown
in the recommended installation
diagram.
3. WARNING: if the in-out valves of the
electrolysis cell are closed
simultaneously, the flow detector (gas
detector) will not work correctly, with
the consequent risk of cell breakdown.
Although this situation is extremely
unusual, since the Astralpool Chlore
Smart+ System has an additional
external flow detector (flow switch), it
can be easily avoided once the
equipment has been installed, by
locking at opened position the return
valve to the swimming pool, so it
cannot accidentally be manipulated.

6
Other installations would only be acceptable if the detection of low or null flow is also allowed.

4.3. Electrical connection of the electrolysis cell
Make the interconnection between the electrolysis cell and the power supply according to the following scheme. Due to relatively high current
intensity circulating do not modify or cut either the length or section of the supplied cables without making a previous consultation to an
authorized Astralpool distributor. The cable connecting the electrolysis cell and the power supply should never exceed the maximum length
recommended in this Manual: Smart+ 60 / 42350 / 52569, 7.5 m.; Smart+ 100 / 42351 / 52570, 4 m.; Smart+ 160 / 42352 / 52571, 3 m.

4.4. Installation of the external flow detector
SMART+ SYSTEMS (42350, 42351, 42352)
Besides the internal flow detector (gas detector) installed in all Astralpool Chlore equipment, the Smart+ range systems have an additional
mechanical flow detector (flow switch).
1. Install the saddle in a section of the pipe at the entrance to the electrolysis cell. It should always be installed in a horizontal position
relative to the ground (see Fig. 4).
2. Install the supplied flow detector (flow switch) vertically in the saddle (Fig. 10a).
3. There is an arrow on the head of the flow detector. Make sure that this arrow is parallel to the pipe shaft and pointing in the
direction that the water flows (Fig. 11a).
4. Do not install the flow detector near magnetic objects. They could affect the operation of the magnetic device it contains and
reduce its reliability.

Besides basic operations, the AstralPoolChlore Smart+ electrolysis system has three inputs for voltage-free contacts, enabling the
connection of additional external controls. They are located on connector [CN7] of the unit’s main circuit, on the base (Fig. 15).
Fig. 15
The logic associated to these three inputs can be programmed during the system configuration process (see point 5.2)
[FS] EXTERNAL FLOW DETECTOR CONTROL: input for potential-free contact. When the contact connected to this input is open
(external flow detector at rest), the electrolysis system switches off due to the flow alarm. Connect the external flow detector wiring
to the respective input [FS] on the unit’s main control card.
Fig. 16
[co] AUTOMATIC COVER CONTROL: input for potential-free contact. Depending on the status of the contact connected to it on the
automatic cover’s electric panel, this input enables you to programme a reduction of the equipment’s output current to a percentage
of its nominal value.
Fig. 17

13
[or] ORP / RESIDUAL chlorine control: input for potential-free contact.. This input can be used to make the electrolysis system
interact with an external controller (ORP, RESIDUAL CHLORINE, PHOTOMETER, etc.). It will be enough to connect two wires
from the potential-free contact located in the external controller, to the corresponding input [or] located in the control board of the
Smart+ unit.
Fig. 18
4.8. Start-up
1. Check that the filter is 100% clean, and ensure that the swimming pool and the installation do not contain copper, iron or algae. Ensure
that any heating equipment on the pool is suitable for use in salt water.
2. Ensure that the swimming pool water is balanced. Balanced water enables the chlorine that is produced to be used more efficiently and
effectively, and ensures that the life of the electrodes is prolonged. Water should be maintained within the parameters shown below:
a) pH must be in the range 7.2-7.6
b) Total alkalinity must be in the range 80-120 ppm
3. Although the AstralPool Chlore Smart+ system can work at a salinity range of 4–6 g/l, try to maintain the recommended minimum salt level
of 5 g/l, by adding 5 kgper m3of water if the water does not already contain salt. Always use common salt (sodium chloride), without additives
like iodides, that is “apt for human consumption”. Never add the salt through the cell. Add it directly to the swimming pool or into the balance
tank.
4. When adding the salt, and in case the swimming pool is going to be used immediately, carry out a treatment with chlorine. An initial dose of
2 g/m3of trichloroisocyanuric acid may be added.
5. Prior to starting up the salt chlorinator, disconnect the power supply to the salt chlorinator and run the pump for 24 hours to ensure that the
salt is completely dissolved.
6. Next, reconnect the power supply and turn on the salt chlorinator, locating the production level so that free chlorine concentration stays
within the recommended range (0.5 – 1.5 ppm).
NOTE: in order to establish the free chlorine level you will need to use a test kit.
7. In outdoor swimming pools it is advisable to maintain a level of 25-30 g/m3of chlorine stabiliser (cyanuric acid) in the pool. A level of 75
ppm should be never exceeded. This will help to stop the chlorine that is in the water from being destroyed by the sun.

5. OPERATION: _______________________________________________________________________________________________
5.1. System stopped
The system enters "stand-by" MODE when the “-”key [1] is pressed successively until the “0 %” led flashes. In this situation there is no
production in the electrolysis cell.
Fig. 19
5.2. System configuration
The AstralPool Chlore Smart+ system can be reconfigured through a menu accessed from the control panel. The system has to be switched
off, as described in point 5.1, in order to access this menu. Once the system has been switched off, press the “-” [1] key for a few seconds
until the system information screen [11] displays “CONF”. To enable selection of each menu option, keep the “SALT TEST” [9] key pressed
for approximately 1 second. Select the desired parameter using the “-” [1] / “+” [14] keys and validate by pressing the “SALT TEST” [9] key for
one second again (see Fig. 19). The configuration process enables you to establish the following operative parameters:

5.3. Production level selection
To select the desired production level, press the “-” [1] / “+” [14] keys until the production level light blinks. The system information screen
[11] will display the value of the production scale light [4]. The system will set its production to the desired level after a few seconds.
Fig. 22
In normal conditions, the production value [4] should be the same as the programmed value. If the salt level in the water is outside the
permitted range (“HIGH SALT” [7] or “LOW SALT” [6] alarms on), or there is a problem in the electrolysis cell (“ELECTRODES” [13] alarm
on), however, the production value [4] could be lower than the programmed and displayed value [11].
WINTER Mode: during periods of low water temperature, where the chlorine demand will be low, select a production level [1] of 50-
60%, because in this way power consumption and lifetime of the package of electrodes are optimized.
5.4. Salinity test
AstralPool Chlore Smart + systems have an integrated system to detect the salinity level of pool water. To run the test, press the “SALT
TEST” [9] key. During the test, the production light will range from 20%-80% of the salinity scale [5], alternately displaying “SALT” and “TEST”
on the system information screen [11]. Once the test is completed, the light will blink for a few seconds on the scale [5] on the detected
salinity value (see Fig. 23). The equipment will return to normal operating mode after a few seconds.
Fig. 23
The system might show lower than actual salt levels if the temperature falls beneath 20OC.

17
5.5. Integrated pH/ORP controller (only in Smart+PH systems)
The integrated pH/ORP controller is supplied with a default factory calibration and programmed with the following parameters:
pH SETPOINT=”7.2”
IMPORTANT: In order for the pH to be regulated correctly, the Total Alkalinity of the pool water must be maintained in the range 80 – 120
ppm. Use a pool water test kit to check the Total Alkalinity and manually adjust if necessary.
5.5.1. CONNECTION OF THE PH/ORP SENSORS
Connect the pH and ORP sensors provided with the unit to the corresponding BNC connectors located in the base of the unit (Fig. 24).
5.5.2. CONNECTION OF THE DOSAGE PUMP
The Astralpool Chlore Smart+PH systems have a connector on their base for connecting a dosage pump to control the pH of the water in the
pool. The dosage pump can be connected through the CEE22 connector supplied for that purpose with the equipment (Fig. 24).
Fig. 24
5.5.3. PH SETPOINT PROGRAMMING
Keep the “SET” [21] key pressed until the light displays the desired pH value within the 7.0 – 7.8 range. Release after selection.
Fig. 25

18
5.5.4. SAFETY STOP CONFIGURATION OF THE DOSAGE PUMP (PUMP-STOP FUNCTION)
The integrated pH controller has a security system (PUMP-STOP FUNCTION) acting on the dosage pump which allows to avoid the following
situations:
Damages caused by the dry operation of pump (depleted pH-minus product).
Over-dosage of pH-minus product (damaged or aged sensor).
PH regulation problems due to high alkalinity in the water (newly filled pool, high carbonate levels).
When the PUMP-STOP FUNCTION is enabled (factory default), the system stops the dosage pump after a programmed time without having
reached the pH setpoint.
Fig. 25b
The PUMP-STOP FUNCTION is factory set to 60 minutes. To change this value, follow the next procedure.
Fig. 25c
