Safety Instructions
Do not attempt to install the equipment
yourself if you do not have the knowledge of
electricity and hydraulic installation.
The electrical installation must be carried
out in such a way that the equipment can
only be started while the ltration pump is
running. To do this, connect the power supply
of the QUICKSALT equipment to the same
contactor device that controls the pump.
The QUICKSALT control unit does not contain
elements that can be replaced or repaired by
the user. Therefore, do not open or tamper
with this element, as there is a risk of electric
shock.
To avoid the risk of damage, do not allow
children to handle this equipment.
Do not use the equipment if you notice that
any of the cables (power supply or cell) are
damaged. Disconnect it immediately and
contact your service representative if this
happens.
Make sure that the power cord of the
equipment is well protected and there is
no risk of being trapped by tools such as a
lawnmower or similar.
Do not use roll-up cable extenders to connect
QUICKSALT equipment to the mains. Contact
your oicial service if you need to extend the
power cord.
The cell must always be installed on a
horizontal pipe. Never install the unit on a
vertical pipe.
The equipment must be installed at a
minimum distance of 10 feet from the pool
vessel, so that under no circumstances can it
be accessed by a person inside the pool.
If you are going to use acid to lower the pH of
the water, follow the product manufacturer’s
instructions very carefully.

1. Description of the System
1.1.TechnicalSpecications
QUICKSALT is a salt chlorinator for swimming
pools, very easy to use and install.
The product range allows you to select the
right model for your pool based on size and
chlorine production requirements.
The QUICKSALT output chlorination system
manufactures hypochlorous acid (HClO),
which is a strong disinfecting and bactericidal
agent. With the use of salt chlorination, you
can keep your pool water in perfect condition
without adding chemicals.
Chlorine production can be adjusted via the
control interface. In addition, the equipment
will notify you of any incident that may occur
by means of an audible alarm, indicating
the reason on the screen and stopping its
operation safely.
It also has a system that will alert you if salt is
required to be added to the water so that you
can optimize its performance and cell life.

Please rst identify the following elements in your pool installation:
If your installation does not have valves to close the water ow, you must drain the pool before
installing the equipment, otherwise all the water in the pool could be drained through the cut of
the pipe.
1) Turn the lter selector valve to the “close”
position.
2) Close the supply valves and, if available, the
return valves as well.
3) Disconnect the power supply in the area
where the equipment is to be installed, through
the general electrical panel.
4) Keep in mind that you will have to cut a
section of pipe and it is likely that this section is
full of water. Make sure you have the means to
collect this water when cutting
5) Do not, under any circumstances, use power
tools to cut the PVC pipe. Use a hand saw.
Please note that the QUICKSALT chlorinator
must always be installed after the pump and
lter. That is to say, on the drive. It is very
important that you identify the direction of the
water ow so that the elements are placed in
the following order:

Cut the pipe to the proper length to install the electrolysis cell. To do this, you can use the
supplied template and follow the steps below:
You can then install accessories to mount the flow sensor to the pipe. To do this, glue the tee
fitting to the upper part of the pipe.
The measures required for each of these elements are as follows:
1) Place the template horizontally along the
pipe where you want to install the equipment.
2) Using a permanent marker, mark 4 lines on
the tube through the slots in the template.
3) Remove the template and cut the PVC pipe
at the two points marked A. Pay attention
and make sure you cut the correct points (the
two lines on the inside).
4) Apply cleaner between the ends resulting
from the cut, and the points marked as B.
Also clean the ttings to be glued. Be sure to
choose the right ones for your pipe (two sets
of sizes are provided: 1 1/3” and 2”).
5) Apply PVC glue all around the cut pipe and
the tting to be glued, and press the tting
into the pipe until it stops.
6) Repeat the operation with the tting and
pipe on the opposite side.
7) Wait for the glue to harden. The waiting
time will depend on the glue used, please
refer to the product instructions carefully.
2.3.1. Cutting and gluing of accessories
Cutting marks
- Electrolysis cell: Minimum 14 inches.
- Flow sensor: Minimum 4 inches.
Both elements must be installed in the same pipe. It is important that the water ows rst through the ow
sensor, and then through the electrolysis cell.
Never install the ow sensor after the cell, as it would be damaged.

1) The orientation of the cell housing must
always be vertical. Note that the tab marked
in the following picture is facing away from
the wall, i.e. towards you. The control unit
will be embedded on this side, assuming you
choose mounting type A (cell and control unit
in one block).
2) On the inside of the housing, you will notice
that there are two bales marked IN and OUT.
These deectors can be interchanged with
each other.
Choose the correct position according to your
hydraulic system, so that water enters the cell
through the deector marked “IN” and exits
through the one marked “OUT”.
Note: The arrow in the picture above indicates the correct direction of
the water ow.
Once the accessories have been glued, the cell can be assembled. Please follow the steps below:
2.3.2. Assembly of the cell
3) Place the cell beaker in its location, making
sure that the joints of both ends are correctly
placed in their housing.
4) Place the locking hooks between the
ttings and the cell inlet/outlet. Tighten them
with an Allen key to ensure watertightness.

5) Check that the cell is properly installed
inside the housing, including the O-ring
between the round cell cover and the
housing.
6) Depending on where you want to locate
the control unit, proceed as follows:
MOUNTING A - (cell and control unit mounted together)
a) Insert the control unit into the front housing of the cell.
b) Connect the 3 cables through the aerial connectors on the top of both
elements.
c) Place the top cover and tighten the 3 threaded knobs rmly.
MOUNTING B - (wall-mounted control unit)
a) Install the control unit on the wall, through the anchoring accessories
located at the back of the control unit. Make sure there is no excessive
distance so that the extension cable allows you to connect correctly.
b) Connect the extension cable between the cell and control unit wires.
c) Place the top cover of the cell and tighten the 3 threaded knobs rmly.
Once the ttings are glued, as shown in section 2.3.1, mount the ow sensor on the tee tting as
shown below:
2.3.3.Mountingtheowsensor

Note: An excessively long paddle in a high water ow would reduce the life of
the sensor. On the other hand, a too short blade at a too low ow rate would
not allow the correct detection of the ow rate.
Note: Before proceeding with the electrical installation, we suggest that you
check that the hydraulic installation has been done correctly and that there are
no leaks or drips. To do this, open the valves in your system again, move the
selector valve to the “ltration” position and start the pump. If you do not see a
problem, continue with the next section.

2.4.1. Connection to the switchboard
1) For safety reasons, it is very important to check if the earthing is in good condition. If you do not
have one, you will have to install a specic grounding rod for the electrical panel, to which you
can connect the grounding cables of the QUICKSALT chlorinator, ltration pump and any other
element with an earth connection located in your pool installation.
2) Check that the switchboard has the appropriate protection elements for its installation: Thermal
circuit breaker, dierential switch and motor protection for the ltration pump.
3) Connect the power cable of your QUICKSALT equipment to the panel, respecting the phase,
neutral and ground connections. Do not leave the cable on the oor of the installation, but ensure
that it is well protected and anchored to the wall. If the distance is insuicient and you need to
extend it, do not use a roll-up extender. Consult your electrician or service technician if in doubt
2.4. Electrical Installation
Once you have checked that the hydraulic installation does not present any losses, you can
connect your QUICKSALT chlorinator to the electrical control panel.
Attention: Disconnect the power supply to the panel before handling it. Never
open the switchboard without having disconnected the power from the main
switchboard. There is a danger of electrocution.
The electrical connection must be made in such a way
that the QUICKSALT chlorinator is started only when
the ltration pump is in operation. Therefore, be sure
to carefully choose the right contactor output.
USA: rigid copper cable 8 AWG.
Canada: rigid copper cable 6 AWG
Connect the switchboard of your QUICKSALT
equipment to the common bonding connection
point of your pool’s electrical installation. The
connector is located at the rear of the unit.
Your QUICKSALT saline chlorinator is already
installed. Please read carefully the following
sections detailing how to perform the start-up.
The Bonding connection ensures that all pool components are at the same electrical potential. If
the Bonding connection is required in your area (see NEC codes), a Bonding connection socket is
available where you must connect a rigid copper cable, whose section must be

The amount of salt to be incorporated will be 0.25 lb/ft3(4Kg/m3) to obtain a concentration of 4000ppm.
35 x 13 x 5 = 2275 ft3x 0.25 = 568 Ib of salt to be incorporated.
10 x 4 x 1.5 = 60m3x 4 = 240 Kg of salt to be incorporated.
3. Starting up
3.1. Preparation of the pool water
3.1.1. How to add salt to your pool
The QUICKSALT salt chlorinator requires a small concentration of common salt (NaCL) to work
properly. The recommended concentration is between 3300ppm and 8000ppm with the most
common concentration being 4000ppm.
We recommend the use of specic salt for salt chlorinators, which you will nd in shops
specializing in swimming pool products.
Add the salt directly to the vessel of the pool. It is recommended to add it progressively, in 2-3
times, waiting for it to dissolve before adding a new quantity.
To calculate the salt to incorporate in your pool, the following example is shown:
Note: Use only pool-specic salt of greater than 99% purity, with no iodine
content.
Note: You can speed up the dissolution by running the ltration pump, but it
is highly recommended not to let salt accumulate in the pool drain, to avoid
damaging the pump. We recommend that you pour the salt near the edges of
the pool.
Important: If you are going to start the pump before the salt is completely
dissolved, we recommend that you stop the QUICKSALT equipment. To do
this, press and hold the button, OK, until you see the message “stand-by” on
the screen.

MANUAL DE USUARIO

3.1.2. Chemical balance of water
You should keep in mind that much of the eectiveness of your QUICKSALT chlorinator will
depend on the pH of the water being within the proper range: between 7.2 and 7.6.
It is common that the pH tends to increase with the use of the salt chlorinator, so it should be
analyzed periodically and adjusted if necessary.
Another fundamental parameter is the concentration of free chlorine, which is a disinfectant that
we obtain thanks to the QUICKSALT chlorinator. Its regulation will be carried out by adjusting the
production of the equipment and the hours of operation. How you can make such an adjustment
is detailed in later sections.
The most important recommended chemical parameters are shown below. We suggest analyzing
them periodically, but especially and regularly, the values of free chlorine and pH.
Once your pool water has the right concentration of salt, and the main chemical parameters
within its recommended range, you can start your QUICKSALT chlorinator.
The following section details how to congure and adjust it for optimal operation.
Parameter Minimum Value Maximum Value
PH 7,2 7,6
FREE CHLORINE (mg/l) 0,5 2,5
COMBINED CHLORINE (mg/l) -- 0,6
ISOCIANURIC ACID (mg/l) -- <75
OZONE (vessel) (mg/l) -- 0
ALKALINITY (mg/l) 100 160
HARDNESS (mg/l) 150 250

MANUAL DE USUARIO

4. Operation
Chlorine production runs continuously every time it is connected to the mains, i.e. every time the
lter pump is started. Production will therefore stop when the ltration pump stops.
The size of your pool, and the hours of ltration per day, and the season of the year in which it is
located, determine to a great extent the percentage of production at which the equipment will be
congured to achieve a production around 2 ppm of Cl2 per day to keep the water disinfected and
in perfect condition for a pleasant use by the users, a good starting point would be 60%and from
here adjust the appropriate one.
There are 3 models of QUICKSALT chlorinator, according to their maximum production capacity.
4.1. Choosing the QUICKSALT model
Note: You can adjust the chlorine production according to the season, and can
reduce the production when the water is colder and therefore the demand for
chlorine decreases.
