The salt water electrolysis produces Chlorine on the bases of salt water of low salinity (approximately 5g Salt per litre). As the
swimming pool water containing the salt flows through the electrolysis cell, the salt is converted to Sodium-hypo-chloride (liquid
chlorine). Organic mater present in the water is oxidised and eliminated by the chlorine. The Sodium-hypo-chloride reconverts into
saltonitswaybacktotheswimmingpool.
This process is combined with a Copper Silver ionisation which provides us with a constant flocculation and an additional
disinfectant,eliminatingbacteriaandalgae.TheresultisexceptionalclearandtransparentWater.

MAINTENANCE

1-Thepoolmustbevacuumedasusualandtheskimmersemptiedwhenevernecessary.
2-Filter backwashing: with Sugar Valley systems the filter requires only occasional backwashing; once every 20 days should be sufficient (providing the filter pressure does
notexceed1bar,inwhichcaseabackwashmaybenecessary).
3-ADDINGNEW WATER:Alwaysthrough theskimmerssothatthenewwater passesthrough theBIONET beforeentering thepool.Remembertoadd thenecessary salt:6
gr.peraddedlitreofwater.
4-InwinterCHANGINGTHEPOOLWATERISNOTRECOMMENDABLE.Werecommendthatthesystemruns2-3timesperweek(2-3hrs.perday).
DOSAGE PUMPS: Check regularly to ensure that the container contains liquid to prevent the dosage pump running dry. The dosage pump requires maintenance
(INSTRUCTIONSONBOX).
PH PROBES/REDOX/CONDUCTIVITY: Probes must be cleaned whenever necessary (check every 5-6 months). To clean the probe insert in distilled water (Clear liquid).
Aftereachcleaningtheprobesmustbecalibrated.
General maintenance
VERY IMPORTANT; Ensure that the Sugar Valley system is turned off during filter backwashing.

CLEANING THE TITANIUM CELL: Maintenance of the disinfection system (electrolysis) consists of cleaning the cell or electrode every 2-3 months should it appear
necessary(carryoutavisualinspection)Tocleantheelectrode:
-Removethecellfromitssupport(afterturningoffthefiltrationsystemandclosingoffthenecessaryvalves).
-Placetheelectrodefornomorethan10min.in15%HYDROCHLORICACID(salfumant).

USE NO METALIC OR SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE INCRUSTATIONS. Scratching the edges or surface of the cell will make it vulnerable to chemicals, deteriorate the
