INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
OWNERS MANUAL
Please hand this Owner’s Manual to the pool owner after installation is completed as it
contains the Warrant Card and vital information for correctl maintaining the pool and
this product!
SURECHLOR CELL
Ideall , the electrol tic cell
should be installed in a position
with 1.5 metres of a vertical wall
or fence to allow the Power
Pack to be easil mounted
without the need to provide an
additional post.
The cell must be installed
horizontall (level) within 5°, in
the return to pool line, with the
two plumbing ports and arrow
on label pointing down.
The water can flow in either
direction through the cell.
Heaters and other equipment in
the return to pool line must be
before the cell i.e. between the
cell and filter.
If an air blower is fitted to an air
inlet for venturi jets, precautions
must be taken to prevent gases
generated in the Surechlor cell
from accumulating in the blower
and associated pipework.
The recommended wa of achieving this is to install an inverted loop in the air line with
a 3mm (max.) diameter hole in the top venting to atmosphere.
2

3
The diagram below shows the general arrangement for this loop.
Vented Loop
Warning: The Warrant will be void if the cell is not installed exactl as specified.
SURECHLOR POWER PACK
The Power Pack Enclosure is approved and rated to Degree Of Pro ec ion IP24 and
therefore can legall be installed in the Pool Zone as defined in the AS/NZS 3000
Wiring Rules. It mus be mounted on a vertical wall or fence within 1.5 metres of the
cell and at least 1 metre above the ground. Also, it mus be in a position to allow its
suppl lead to be plugged into a 10 amp 240 volt power point.
Remember the filter pump must be plugged into this Power Pack.
Start b selecting a suitable place to attach the Mounting Bracket using the two screws
provided. The Mounting Bracket must be fixed with the screws horizontal and the vent
louvres above the screws facing upwards.
If no suitable wall is available, then install a 100mm x 100mm hardwood post with a
vertical mounting board 400mm wide x 300mm high x 18mm thick attached.
Hook the Power Pack onto the Mounting Bracket b the top edge at the rear of the box.
When secure, plug the power lead into a suitable 240 volt power point but do not switch on.

CONNECTING THE POOL PUMP
●Plug the pool pump into the pump socket at the bottom of the unit.
(see No e below about the use of large or 3 phase pumps).
Off-Peak Ins alla ions
This unit is suitable for off-peak tariff suppl .
Warning: The Warrant will be void if the Power Pack is installed or operated .....
a) on, or less than 1 metre from the ground.
b) in a position where flooding from ground water could occur.
c) where the airflow is obstructed, i.e. within an unvented auxiliar enclosure.
d) with a load (pump) connected to the 240 volt pump outlet socket greater than
1.5kw (continuous).
e) from an electrical suppl socket which is not rated to suppl 10 amps at 240 volts
50Hz and is not adequatel protected b the correct size fuse or circuit breakers.
No e: If a pump load greater than 1.5Kw or the use of a 3 phase pump is required, an
interface rela must be installed.
If double adaptors or stackable plugs are emplo ed to operate more than one pump
directl from this Pump Outlet Socket the Warrant will be void.
Please refer to our Poolrite State Office for details.
ADDING SALT TO THE POOL
S ar up procedure for marble surface pools
For new concrete pools with marble plaster (marblesheen) finishes we recommend that
the salt not be added to the pool until the excess calcium compounds in the plaster
have leached out and the pH of the water has stabilised.
4

The recommended stabilising period is:
●For hand mixed/applied plaster 12 weeks.
●For machine mixed/applied plaster 24 weeks.
During this period the pool should be sterilised with liquid chlorine.
Calcula ing Pool Capaci y
Swimming pool grade salt (low mineral content Sodium Chloride) must be added to the
pool and allowed to completel dissolve before operating the chlorinator cell.
The amount of salt to be added cannot be calculated until the volume of water
contained in the pool is determined.
This water volume can be obtained b :
(a) Referring to the pool manufacturer’s data (if pre-moulded fibreglass).
(b) Reading the difference on the water meter before and after filling.
(c) B mathematical calculation.
Formula For Calcula ing Wa er Volume
Water Volume (m3) = [Surface Area (m2) x Average Depth (m)] minus [Volume occupied
b steps, swim-outs, etc.]
Calcula ing Sal To Be Added
The amount of salt to be added to the calculated volume of water in the pool depends
on the salt concentration selected.
Sal Quan i y (kg) = Wa er Volume (m3) x Sal Concen ra ion (mg/l)
1000
For example, if the calculated volume of water in our pool is 60.0 cubic metres (as per
previous example) and the minimum salt level of 6000 mg/l is required (for cool
climates), the amount of salt needed will be:
Salt Quantit = 60 x 6000
1000
= 360 kg
Wha Sal Concen ra ion To Use
Although our Surechlor 4000 has been designed to operate with a wide range of salt
concentrations, the minimum recommended level is 6000 mg/l (P.P.M.). However with
heated and outdoor pools in tropical and sub-tropical climates, salt levels between
7000 and 8000 mg/l can be maintained in order to gain the benefits of increased
chlorine output, reduced cell maintenance and extended cell life.
The Chlorine Control can be switched to 100% output if higher salt levels are used
without the risk of damage occurring, due to the incorporation of electronic output
limiting on all of these model chlorinators.
To make the calculation easier, we have provided the chart on the following page.
5

6
To find he correc amoun of sal using his char :
1. Mark the point along the bottom edge which
corresponds with the calculated volume of
water in the pool.
2. Draw a vertical line from this point which
intersects the inclined lines showing salt
concentrations.
3. From the point where this vertical line
intersects the inclined line showing the chosen
salt concentration, draw a horizontal line
across to the left. Where this line crosses the
left side of the graph, the quantit of salt in
kilograms will be indicated.
Adding Sal And S abiliser To The Pool
If ou are quite sure of our calculations then add
the calculated amount of salt directl to our pool.
Warning:
Onl swimming pool grade salt (Sodium
Chloride) should be used. Inferior grades ma
lead to problems with the chlorinator cell.
Do not attempt to add salt via the surface skimmer
as this can cause damage to the filtration s stem.
An suction t pe pool cleaners should also be
disconnected before adding salt.
At the same time add the recommended quantit of cyanuric acid s abiliser. This is
most important as our Surechlor will not operate efficientl during summer months
without the correct level of stabiliser in the pool. Recommended level for maximum
efficienc is between 30 and 60 mg/l (ppm). pH buffer can also be added now if required.
Dissolving The Sal
Before attempting to operate the Surechlor 4000 cell, the salt must be allowed to full
dissolve in the pool water. This is the best achieved (after allowing sufficient time for
the glue on the pipe fittings to set properl ) b running the filter pump without the cell
operating for 24 hours to circulate the water.
To assist the dissolving of the salt, regularl brush the floor of the pool with a pool
broom until the salt has dissolved.
When The Sal Has Dissolved
With the pump still operating, increase the Chlorine Control to maximum. The Monitor
should indicate 10 bars.
Your Surechlor is now generating chlorine!
Should the Output Monitor read low with the Chlorine Control at maximum, do not be
concerned, just allow the s stem to run for another 24-48 hours. If the displa
continues to give a low reading after this period, press the Salt Test (with the s stem
running) and note the displa message.
If the water temperature is around 25°C and the cell is relativel clean, this reading will
indicate salt concentration. If it confirms the salt level is low then add more salt
graduall over a period of da s until the displa reads normal. Continue brushing floor
of pool until the additional salt has dissolved.

SETTINGS AND CONTROLS
CHLORINE CONTROL — all models
Because our Surechlor 4000 has been designed to operate over a wide range of salt
levels, water temperature, running time, etc., a Chlorine Control has been provided to
compensate for these variations.
When first starting the unit and where maximum chlorine production is needed the
output should be set to maximum.
The Chlorine Control on all Surechlor 4000 models can be set to maximum if higher
salt levels are used without the risk of damage occurring, due to the incorporation of
electronic output limiting.

HOW YOUR SURECHLOR 4000 SALT WATER
CHLORINATOR WORKS.
Common salt (Sodium Chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chlorine.
When our Poolrite Surechlor 4000 is installed a measured amount of salt is
dissolved in the pool water to make it slightl salt (about 15% of the salt found in sea
water). When the filter s stem is operating this pool water also flows through the clear
Electrol tic Cell where a ver low voltage electric current is passed through the salt
water which causes chlorine to be produced. This chlorine instantl dissolves in the
pool water. Some ozone and other gasses are also produced as a b -product of the
process.
Put ver simpl , this dissolved chlorine starts to destro bacteria, viruses and algae
almost instantl and in doing so reverts back to dissolved salt. This c cle
continues with more new chlorine being generated from the salt water in the cell, the
pool being sanitised and the chlorine reverting back to dissolved salt.
As our Surechlor 4000 is operating each da during normal operation of the
filtration s stem, solid particles are trapped b the filter while our Surechlor 4000
sanitises the water to make it safe, clear and sparkling.
MAINTENANCE OF POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
CHLORINE LEVEL
Using a 4 in 1 test kit, test the pool water dail at first then at least once a week
to ensure sufficient chlorine level is being maintained. A free chlorine reading of 1.5
mg/l (ppm) and above is adequate when taken near the skimmer.
Should the level fall below 1.5 mg/l (ppm) check salt level and/or increase the dail run-
ning time of filter and Surechlor.
pH CONTROL
Check the pH of our pool at least once a week after our Surechlor is first installed.
The pH of our pool is a measure of the balance between acidic and alkaline
products in the water. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14.
A pH level of 0.0 is pure acid.
A pH level of 7.0 is neutral.
A pH level of 14.0 is pure alkali.
The recommended range for swimming pool water is 7.2 to 7.6 for concrete pools, and
ou should refer to our builder’s recommendations for other t pes of pools.
Controlling the pH of our pool is vital to the correct operation of the Surechlor and the
effectiveness of the chlorine produced to kill algae and bacteria and the
comfort of bathers. Correct pH also effects the life of metals, cement products and
plaster finishes in the pool.
If a pH test indicates a low pH then add sodium bicarbonate (pH buffer) to raise the pH.
If the pH is high then add acid (h drochloric or dr acid) to lower the pH.

10
Adding Acid
If the addition of acid is indicated, be careful not to add too much at one time as this
ma destro total alkalinit or cause harmful effects. We suggest ou turn on the filter,
add the acid to water in a plastic watering can to dilute, then distribute evenl around
the pool awa from walls, steps, etc.
TOTAL ALKALINITY
Check the Total Alkalinit at least once a month and maintain correct level for
proper pool water balance.
Total Alkalinit is a measure of the acid neutralising capacit of water which indicates
its abilit to buffer (resist) changes in pH.
The addition of sodium bicarbonate will increase the level and acid will reduce it.
Measurements can be made with a 4 in 1 test kit.
Correct levels depend on other factors such as hardness, pH and temperature,
however the following levels can be used as a guide.
Concrete Pool — 150 to 250 mg/l Fibreglass Pools — 80 to 100 mg/l max.
Vin l Lined Pools — Above 100 mg/l
CYANURIC ACID STABILISER
Have a water sample tested at least ever 4 months b our pool shop to determine
the level of C anuric Acid Stabiliser. It is most important that a level between 30 and
60 mg/l (ppm) be maintained in order for our Surechlor to work efficientl during
Summer if our pool is outdoors.
CALCIUM HARDNESS
Calcium Hardness is a measure of the calcium compounds dissolved in the water.
Recommended levels should be as low as practical to minimise problems with
calcium deposits forming in the cell, therefore don’t add an further calcium
chloride (to raise hardness) or calcium h pochlorite (granular chlorine) to our pool
once the decision has been made to install saltwater chlorination.
Warning
Water supplies from bores/rivers/dams etc., can be high in mineral contaminants
resulting in poor chlorine production, therefore water ma require additional chemical
treatment.
ALGAECIDES
Adherence to the above water chemistr recommendations should alleviate the need
to use algaecides in our pool.
MAINTAINING SALT LEVELS
Before attempting to add salt to our pool ensure that the cell is clean. Then, with the
filter and cell operating, the Salt Test should be pressed and the reading on the Output
Monitor noted.
If this reading indicates the level of salt is too low it must then be increased. This will
normall be required about 4 times a ear on average domestic pools but will var
depending on the t pe of filtration, climatic conditions, etc.
No e: Higher salt levels are recommended in hot weather conditions where
maximum chlorine production is needed. We suggest levels as high as 8000 mg/l (ppm)
in these situations.

11
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SURECHLOR 4000
Your Surechlor 4000 Auto Kleen has been designed to operate for extended
periods with a minimum of maintenance. The cell cleaning function is performed
automaticall via the inbuilt electronic control module.
Cell Cleaning (Manual Procedure)
1. Remove Surechlor Power Pack plug from 240 volt power point.
2. Remove cell from plumbing line.
3. Turn cell upside down (ports facing upwards) and place on a level non-metallic
surface in a well ventilated area.
Warning: Rubber gloves and protective e eware must be worn before proceeding to
the next steps!
4. Prepare an 8:1 acid cleaning solution b firstl measuring 2 litres of water into a
plastic bucket and then carefull adding 250ml of H drochloric Acid.
Stir thoroughl with a wooden stick.
5. Carefull pour sufficient cleaning solution into upturned cell so as to full cover
metal electrodes.
6. Allow to stand for 10 minutes then flush out with clean water.
Do not put used acid solution into pool.
7. If electrodes still show white deposits, repeat the above steps.
No e: It is recommended that a warm
water detergent solution be used to
soak the electrodes at this point if
there is an evidence of bod fats,
oils or greases.
8. Re-fit cell to plumbing line
making sure both rubber “O”
ring seals are in place.
9. Re-connect plug of Power
Pack to 240 volt power point
and switch on.
No e:
This s stem is fitted with a backup batter and real time clock. The time will not
require resetting.

12
HOW LONG SHOULD YOUR CHLORINATOR CELL LAST?
When installed on a normal domestic pool, Poolrite cell electrodes have a nominal life
expectanc of approximatel four ears if the are correctl maintained.
With operating conditions var ing widel in different pools, the actual life of the cell
electrodes can be quite different from the nominal life.
For example, a chlorinator cell operating for onl 3 hours dail can be expected to last
twice as long as the same cell operating for 6 hours dail . Likewise, the same cell
operating 24 hours dail ma suffer electrode failure after just one ear!
To assist ou in prolonging the
life of our Surechlor 4000 Cell
Electrodes, we have provided
this chart of Common Causes
Of Premature Cell Failure based
on our extensive experience in
designing, manufacturing and
servicing salt water chlorinators
in Australia.
In order to achieve the longest
possible life from our Surechlor
4000 cell, we recommend that
the owner bear these important
points in mind as it is sometimes
difficult to determine which of
the above points was responsible
when inspecting a cell which has
failed prematurel .
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE read the Operating Instructions carefull and
check the following points which are our responsibilit .
• A service charge will be made for service as a result of:
• Power point not turned on or fault (check with another appliance).
• Time incorrectl set.
• Unit incorrectl installed.
• Pump not plugged into Surechlor Pump Outlet Socket.
• Controls incorrectl set.
• Poor water chemistr (Salt Level, pH, etc).
• Cell not being cleaned (acid washed) properl .
• Poor water flow (check filter is clean / pump operating / skimmer free of obstructions).
• Unit being tampered with b unauthorised persons.
Common Causes Of
Prema ure Cell Failure
a) Operating the cell with too little salt in the
water (this can often happen after heav
rain).
b) Excessive accumulation of calcium deposits
on electrodes.
c) Low water flow through cell (poor filter
maintenance or a fault pump are t pical
causes).
d) Ph sical damage to electrode coating
caused b scraping with a screwdriver, etc.
e) Cleaning of electrodes in too strong an acid
solution (greater than 1 part h drochloric
acid in 8 parts water).
f) Acid washing for too long (10-15 minutes
max. In contact with 1:8 acid/water should
be more than sufficient).
