PREFACE
JOY POOL SYSTEMS is a Sydney based, Australian company which has
been involved in the manufacture and distribution of Saltwater
Swimming Pool Chlorinators for over 30 years. Up until this period the
sanitization of swimming pools was achieved by manually dosing
domestic swimming pools with powder or liquid type chlorine. Today’s
market sees around 90% of new pools throughout Australia fitted with
the automatic Saltwater Chlorinator.
Important Safety Matters are indicated by
SAFETY
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS PLEASE READ
BEFORE YOU OPERATE THIS CHLORINATOR
Do not operate the chlorinator unless you have read all WARNINGS and
INSTRUCTIONS and understand all safety and operational procedures
contained in this manual. Ensure that the chlorinator (Power Pack, Plumbing
and Cell) has been installed by competent person to the instructions contained
in this manual.
The Power Pack is to be installed according to AS/NA 3000:2000 and located
outside pool Zone 2 area, not in direct sunlight, or in an area were the ambient
temperature can reach above 40 degrees Celsius or directly onto metal fences
or metal sheds. If installing on these surfaces make sure a timber backing of
400mm x 250mm x 8mm is between the metal surface and the chlorinator to
avoid overheating and damage to internal components.
Servicing should only be attempted by trained Technicians. Dangerous voltages
are present inside the chlorinator enclosure. Untrained personnel should not
attempt to remove the cover of the power pack. Return to Joy Pool Systems
for repair.
For any unresolved problems, please contact your dealer or JOY POOL
SYSTEMS.
Keep this manual in a safe, convenient location and refer to it if any doubt exists
over operational or safety matters.

SAFETY – TO PREVENT RISK OR INJURY TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS
PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Understand all safety and operational procedures contained in this manual and
check the condition of the chlorinator and cell before use. Again, if in doubt
contact your dealer before proceeding. DO NOT attempt to modify the
chlorinator or installation in any way.
The chlorinator should not be operated by personnel (E.g. Operating time clock
switches, adjusting the time clock, safety cut out, cleaning cells etc.) when the
surrounding area is damp. In addition, personnel should not operate the unit
with bare feet or wet hands. This will minimise the risk of electrocution in the
event of a fault developing either in the chlorinator or the electric power wiring
to the unit.
SAFETY – CELL CLEANING USES HYDROCHLORIC ACID. EXTREME
CARE IS REQUIRED.
Cell cleaning maybe required. The use of Hydrochloric Acid or Cell Cleaning
Solution, which is a highly corrosive chemical that needs to be handled with
extreme care. Personnel performing cleaning should be equipped with safety
goggles and acid resistant gloves as precaution.
Any spills should be immediately flushed with water. When diluting the acid,
ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER FIRST. NEVER THE REVERSE! Doing so will cause
a very violent chemical reaction. Take care when immersing the cell in the
diluted acid solution or Cell Cleaning Solution to ensure that no acid / Cell
Cleaning Solution splashes or spills occur. When finished wash gloves and used
containers in water.
Please note that the edges of the cell electrodes can be extremely sharp. Avoid
contact when cleaning as lacerations can occur.
SAFETY – IF IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE UNIT OR IF
THE UNIT MALFUNCTIONS THEN PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Turn off the power to the unit at the power point, disconnect the power cord
and call for service. Please note that dangerous voltages are always present
inside the unit, irrespective of the setting of the front panel controls or time
clock.

5
SAFETY – STORAGE OF CHEMICALS
NEVER STORE CHLORINE & HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN THE SAME AREA!
They are both very active chemicals and can react, if accidentally mixed, with
explosive results.
SAFETY – ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR SERVICING.
Servicing should only be attempted by trained Technicians. Dangerous voltages
are present inside the chlorinator enclosure. Untrained personnel should not
attempt to remove the cover of the power pack.
Servicing should be carried out with the power switched off and the chlorinator
disconnected from the power point. Where it is absolutely necessary to power
the unit for service then it shall be powered from the unearthed secondary of
a safety isolation transformer or by means of an approved earth leakage
detection unit.
The chlorinator is a prescribed item under NSW LAW AND CANNOT BE
MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.
As part of servicing, the following safety checks need to be performed on the
chlorinator:
•The interior of the unit has not been modified or tempered with in any
way.
•There is adequate separation between mains and extra low voltage
parts.
•All insulating panels are in place and terminal connections are tight.
•Earth pin of power cord to all external metals parts of the chlorinator
to have a resistance value not exceeding 0.1ohm.
•Megger power cord active and neutral at 500 V D.C. to all external
metal work and output cell terminals in turn. Resistance value not to
be less than 2 meg ohms.
•Visually ensure that all parts of the unit are in good condition.
•Insulation on power cords in good condition and any corrosion on the
pins of the power cord plug to be rectified.
Place a sticker on the underside of the unit identifying the company that
carried out the service, date of service, safety check carried out and the
signature of the service technician that carried out the work.

LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
To ensure compliance with regulations, safety in operation and long-term
reliability please observe the following:
•Unit to be installed by qualified personnel.
•Power Pack to be installed according to AS/NZ 3000:2000 and located
outside pool Zone 2 area.
•Warranty is void if unit is installed in direct sunlight or enclosed in a
hot area with inadequate ventilation provided around the Power
Pack. In locations were ambient temperature can reach above 40°C
Degrees are not suitable unless there is very good ventilation. If this
is not provided damage to internal components may occur i.e. Triacs.
THIS DAMAGE WILL NOT COVER BY WARRANTY.
•Protection to be provided from inclement weather.
•Pool Chemicals (i.e. Salt, Acid, Buffer, Chlorine, Stabilizer) are not to
be stored in the same enclosed area that the Chlorinator Power Pack
is mounted. (i.e. Filter Boxes, Garden Sheds) as the fumes from these
products can damage the unit and this is not covered under warranty

1. POOL WATER PREPARATION
a. Measure the pool size in litres to determine salt level requirements.
b. Refer to salt requirements chart (refer page 16). Add 4 kgs. of refined
Pool Salt per 1000 litres of water in shallow end of pool.
c. Connect up vacuum hose and place vacuum head in deepest part of
pool and run for 24 hours to dissolve in salt.
d. THE SALT MUST BE DISSOLVED COMPLETELY BEFORE THE
CHLORINATOR IS TURNED ON.
This should take (24 hours in summer – 72 hours in winter).
2. MOUNTING THE POWER PACK
a. Screw the mounting bracket to wall or post with slots facing upwards,
a minimum 1.2 meters off the ground & within 1.5 meters of the
power outlet and within 1.5 meters of the filter’s return to Pool Line
b. Place back of Power Pack to mounting bracket and slot into place.
NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT or DIRECTLY ONTO METAL
FENCE OR METAL SHED. IF THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE THEN A PIECE
OF TIMBER BOARD 400MM x 250MM x 8MM SHOULD BE
MOUNTED TO THE METAL AND THEN MOUNT POWER PACK TO THE
TIMBER. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL VOID WARRANTY OF UNIT.
3. INSTALLATION OF THE CELL
Determine Filter Return to Pool Line.
a. Cell Housing must be in a horizontal position with inlet and outlet
sockets facing downwards as per diagram (refer page 9).
b. Cell must be installed after the heater (where fitted) and Solar Systems
(refer page 9). Pool cleaner pump motors that draw water from the
return to pool line should be fitted after the Cell for correct pool
chlorination.
c. CAUTION: It is very important that no gas generated from the Cell can
find its way back into the Filter, Pump, Heater, Solar Systems or Spa
Blowers.
d. When position of the Cell Housing has been decided, turn off the
Pump/Filter and CLOSE OFF VALVES if required.
e. If the Return to pool line is 40mm pipe, use 50-40mm reducing bushes
provided. If it is 50mm pipe, glue pipe directly into the inlet & outlet
ports on the cell housing.
