ThesaltwaterelectrolysisproducesChlorineonthebasesofsaltwateroflowsalinity(approximately5gSaltperlitre).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-chloridereconvertsintosaltonitswaybacktotheswimmingpool.

Electrical consumption
HIDROLIFEsynchronizedwithFILTRATION
Ensure the electrolysis unit is synchronized with the pool filtration and stops functioning when
watercirculationhasstopped.
TITANIUMCELLconnectionoverheating
Ensure all electrical connections are firmly fixed to avoid false contacts and
subsequent overheating of system components (Especially concerning the
electrolysiscellwithusageabove33A).

INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS

Water adjustments
1.Adjust the alkalinity between 90 and 110
ppm.
2.AdjustthePHbetween7,2and7,4
3.Adjust the chlorine between 1 and 1,5
ppm.
SHOULD the water be supplied from a well:
shock chlorinate with Tricloroisocyanuric
acid(2Kg./50m3ofwater)
Adding Salt to the Water
Start up
Add5to6GrammSalt(withoutYod)foreachlitreofwaterinyourswimmingpool(5to6
kgNaClperm3Water).Openthebottomvalveofyourswimmingpooland addthe Salt
directly to your swimming pool water. Let the circulation pump run during the first 24
hours your Hidrolife system is working in order to dissolve the Salt completely. Your

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-ADDING NEW WATER:Always through the skimmers so that the new water passes through the Hidrolife before entering the pool. Remember to add the necessary salt:
6gr.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 system is turned off during filter backwashing.

pH : 7,1 – 7,5
