2. GENERAL OVERVIEW
Congratulations on your recent purchase of your Talline™ Salt Water Chlorinator. Please take a
moment to read through the entire manual before installing your new unit. Your chlorinator
must be installed and operated as specified.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in this guide is accurate and
complete, no liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions. Crystal Aquatic Systems reserves the
right to change the specifications of the hardware and soware described herein at any time without
prior notice.
Please remember that your Talline™ Salt Water Chlorinator is not designed to chemically maintain your
pool water and keep it balanced, but rather to produce chlorine from a mild salt solution within the
water. We encourage regular water testing, balancing and correction if & when required to
maintain the recommended balanced levels of your pool water. This is a vital part of a complete
maintenance program and will ensure trouble free performance as well as a healthy and sparkling clean
pool.
The Talline range is a reverse polarity model known as TL, which is a reversing design and automatically
changes direction every 5 – 10hrs (depending on your seng). This change of polarity causes the calcium
to dislodge and keep the cell plates clean. Please note occasional cleaning of the electrode plates may be
necessary.
2.1 Recommendaons and Helpful Hints
• Read and keep your manual in a safe place.
• Increase chlorine producon when temperature goes up.
• Increase chlorine producon when number of swimmers increases.
• Use (Cyanuric Acid) Chlorine in Pool.Stabiliser to stabilise
• Decrease producon when temperature goes down – (during winter).
• Take pool water sample to your pool professional at least twice a month.

3. POOL PREPARATION
5
Before operating your Talline™ unit please read the following:
Handy Tips
•Check your salt levels with your local pool professional before installing your unit.
• 5 – 4 5Salt levels should ideally be 3 00 500ppm and no more than 000ppm.
•NEVER ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER BOX. This high concentraon of salt will
pass through your filtraon, pump and other pool equipment.
•Salt levels above 4000ppm may overload the unit and cause excessive heat.
•For all new pool installaons please seek advice from your pool builder before adding
salt as some new surfaces request no salt to be added when inially completed.
• The colder the water the lower your output but this does not mean you need more salt.
There will always be less chlorine demand in colder water.
• We recommend 3.5kg per 1000 litres (1 cubM) of pool water and a 50 000 litre (50 cubM)
new pool needs approximately 175kg of salt.
• The unit can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts and you should allow an extra
20 – 30% on the ppm for these type of salts.
• Salt should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve.
Do not let the salt sele on the floor of the pool as this may cause damage to the surface.
Use your pool brush to mix the salt into the water.
• Running the pump will mix the water and help the salt to dissolve.
• Only run the pump in the first 8 – 12 hours (ensure the cell is switched off) to allow the salt
to dissolve.
• If you press the + buon unl you reach the top LED (no. 8) then let go and wait for the
output to sele then if all 8 LEDs are on then there is enough salt if it does not reach the
top 8th LED then you either need salt or if the cell is old it may need replacing.

4.1 Power Pack Installaon
•The Talline™ Power Pack has a Ingress Protection Range of IP23 enabling it to be installed
outdoors. Regulations require that the Power Pack shall be installed outside the pool zone.
• The Power Pack shall be installed according to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
• The Power Pack should be installed in a well venlated posion ideally away from sunlight
and rain to prolong life and at least 1m above ground to prevent run off water entry.
• Ensure that the Power Pack is not stored near chemicals, ferlisers or in a closed
unvenlated shed with similar products as the fumes will cause excessive corrosion and
damage to the Power Pack and Control Board.
• When mounng the Power Pack on a post it is recommended to install a flat panel at least
the size of the Power Pack to act as a waterproof backing plate.
• Mount the Power Pack with the Green Plugs and Mounng Screws provided.
The Power Pack should be mounted no further than 1.5 metres from the Chlorinator Cell,
for ease of operaon of the controls on the Power Pack.
4.2 Cell Electrode Installaon
• Connect the Cell Housing horizontally in the return line to the pool (use reducing bushes
supplied if 40mm PVC pipe) using high pressure PVC glue. The Cell Housing can be mounted
vercally but provision must be made for a gas trap.
• Direcon of water flow though the Cell Housing is not crical although we do recommend
entry from the closed end of the Cell Housing and exit from the end closest to the Cell
Locking Ring. The reason is to cause less water hammer over me on the cell plates.
• Check that the O-ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum based
jelly) and securely located in the Cell Housing.
• Fit the Cell Electrode and ensure Cell Locking Ring is firmly ghtened by hand (DO NOT use
a tool to ghten).
• Connect the leads from the Cell Electrode to the Juncon Box under the Power Pack
ensuring the colours match that indicated on the Juncon Box (RED – closest to the front,
WHITE – in the middle and BLACK – closest to the rear).
• Plug the Power Pack 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof RCD protected 10amp outlet
and then plug the pump into the 3 pin AC Socket located at the boom of the Power Pack.

4. POWER PACK & CELL ELECTRODE INSTALLATION
Important Notes
•The pump rang must not exceed 8amps.
• Saltwater may damage Juncon Box and electrical components in the Power Pack.
•DO NOT use a drill to ghten Juncon Box screws – this may strip them – use a hand
held screw driver.
WARNING:
• We DO NOT recommend the use of valves on the inlet or outlet of the cell housing. If you
do use a valve then it is important to ensure that the valve cannot deadhead (lock closed)
while the pump is running. It is the installers responsibility to ensure some form of flow
control is installed in this instance and it disables the pump.
•ALWAYS ensure that pipe work and equipment do not allow gases generated from the cell
to collect and build up in any part of the installaon.
• It is RECOMMENDED that the Cell Housing be installed horizontally to create a natural gas
trap that acts as a safety device. Installaon in any other way may cause explosion, injury
or death if the installer does not allow for gas removal.
• The Cell Housing must be installed in the RETURN pipework to the pool. It must always be
installed aer the filter, gas heater, solar heang or heat pump.
•DO NOT apply priming fluid to the Cell Housing, it is not needed and may react with the
plasc.

5.1 Timer Switch
This switch posion determines whether the unit is manually turned on or automacally
controlled by the Timer.
•Auto Posion – the me clock controls the operang hours. See secon 6 for Timer Seng.
• Manual Posion – the unit is on and both the pump AC Socket and Cell will be powered up.
5.2 Cell Switch
This switch posion determines whether the Cell is turned on or off when power is supplied to
it from the above Timer Switch.
•OFF Posion – even if the Timer Switch is powered on there will sll be no power to the Cell.
•ON Posion – if Timer Switch is powered on then there will be power to the Cell.
•Changing Direcon – while the unit is running you can change direcon by turning off the
Cell Switch, wait 3 seconds then turn it on again. The direcon should change. If it does not
then repeat this again and it should change direcon.
5.3 Circuit Breaker
A Circuit Breaker is an automacally operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical
circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, overload or short circuit. It can be reset by pressing
the buon in aer it has tripped. It may be damaged if you supply excessively high levels of salt
through the Cell.
5.4 AC Socket (Pump Outlet)
The AC Socket allows the pump to be electrically operated and controlled by the Power Pack.
WARNING: If you fail to control the pump this way then you must allow for a flow switch
mechanism to control the electrical supply to the Power Pack, so as to prevent gas build up if the
pump stops.
5.6 + and – Buons
Simply press the – Buon and the chlorine producon will automacally decrease by
approximately 15%. Press the + Buon and the chlorine producon will increase by
approximately 15%. When all green LED Output Lights are on this indicates 100% output.
5.7 Output LEDS’s
There are 8 Output LED’s on your Talline display. Each one of the LED’s indicate the
chlorine production output.
5.5 Juncon Box
The Juncon Box allows recfied DC voltage to be coupled to the Cell. This is where the Cell
cable is connected to the Power Pack.

5.8 Direcon LED
Above the timer is a Direction LED indicating the Cell Electrode direction at that particular
time. Solid Green indicates Forward and Flashing indicates Reverse. The reversing times
can be changed from 5 to 7.5 and 10 hours, please contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
5.9 Water Flow LED
A Water Flow sensor comes standard with your Talline unit. If flashing Red this indicates
insufficient flow of water in the cell housing or a fault. Contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
5.10 Salt Test
Salt Test allows you to check if the salt levels are correct, be pressing the + Buon and
holding it for 5 seconds. All 8 Output LED’s indicate salt levels are correct and if they do
not reach 8 then salt levels need to be checked or contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
5.11 Start Up Procedure
• Ensure 10amp wall outlet supply switch is turned "OFF".
• Cell Switch in the "OFF" posion.
•Timer Switch in the "MANUAL" posion.
•Turn the 10amp wall outlet supply switch "ON".
•The pump should start up and prime.
Allow the pump to run for 2 minutes and repair any leaks if needed• .
• Turn the Cell Switch to "ON" unl all 8 Green LED’s light up.
•Set the Timer to run 6 – 10 hours in the summer and 3 – 6 hours in the winter. Refer to sec. 6
Timer Seng for further details.•
•Now turn the Timer Switch to "AUTO" and leave it here to run automacally.
All Talline ™ Self Cleaning models are controlled by a Micro-Chip controller
that performs several funcons, including the change of current direcon and
water sensing.

6. TIMER SETTING
10
Your Talline™ unit comes with a simple to operate quartz mechanical Timer which has a built
in baery back up function.
This area of set up is crical and we recommend you take me to read it and understand why we
recommend certain sengs.
Obviously sunlight and higher bather loads in summer dissipate more chlorine than in winter.
That is why you need to check your chlorine reading regularly and adjust your sengs when
required.
It is recommended to run the unit for 2 periods every day (early morning and evening) when the
sun extracts the least amount of chlorine from the pool, giving it me to do its work.
Winter Sengs
In winter you should lower your running me by up to 50% of your summer seng depending on
your free chlorine levels. You should ideally run 2-3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours in the
evening. This preserves and extends the life of your equipment.
Important Notes
The Timer Switch will override the Timer when it is in the Manual posion. For mer sengs to
control the unit the Timer Switch needs to be in the AUTO posion.
WARNING:
ALWAYS TURN THE CLOCK FACE CLOCKWISE NEVER ANTI – CLOCKWISE. You will strip plasc
gears and damage the Timer.
Summer Sengs
Ideally, run for 4 hours in the morning (6 – 10am) and 4 hours in the evening (4 – 8pm).
For a smaller pool you can run less hours. In extreme weather it may be necessary to run longer
hours.
