FEATURES
Chlorine Generation
Through the process of electrolysis, a saline solution pass over an electrolytic cell,
then the saline solution is separated into its basic components: chlorine and sodium.
The chlorine is instantaneously transformed into Hypochlorous acid; this the chlorine
form that kills algae and other harmful organism in the water.
A chlorine generator’s main function is to produce chlorine for the pool. This keeps a
residual of chlorine in the pool that prevents algae from growing. The chlorine then
turns back into salt and the system continues as long as the generator is functioning
properly.
Consistently maintained sanitizer levels in the pool water will prevent the growth of
all common algae. A salt-water chlorinated pool requires much less attention than
a chlorine pool.
HYDROCHLOR TS®
Hydrochlor TS®consists of a Power Pack with a
built in timer (to supply power to the cell) and
Salt Cell (where the chlorine is produced).
Hydrochlor TS®Power Pack
The Power Pack monitors and controls chlorine
production by regulating the amount of
electrical energy supplied to the salt cell.

Time Switch
Programme the chlorinator timer to turn on or off at any time that suits your lifestyle.
The Time Switch controls power to the Chlorinator controller.
Waterco Hydrochlor TS® I pg 03
Battery Backup
The Time Switch comes with a a super capacitor incorporated to save your settings
in the event of a power failure. The super capacitor requires 70 hours of continuous
power supply to achieving a full charge.
The time switch specifications are the following:
Super Capacitor Charge Time: 70 hours.
Super Capacitor Power Reserve: 150 hours.
INSTALLATION
These guidelines should be followed to install the Hydrochlor TS®:
a. Ensure that the chlorinator cell is the last piece of equipment installed on
the filtration system – this is so the chlorine produced will not damage other
equipments such as heaters.
b. The cell may be installed above or below water level. If it is below water level,
please ensure that an isolation valve is installed so the unit can be serviced
without losing water from the pool.
c. The cell may be mounted on different angles so long as a gas trap is provided.
GAS TRAP: The cell must be positioned in such a way as to provide a gas trap. The
bottom of the cell must be above the top surface of the pipe from the previous
piece of equipment, as per the below diagram.
Electrolytic Salt Cell
The Hydrochlor TS®’s salt cell consists of a series of
titanium electrodes with opposite charges. Hydrochlor
TS®’s clear salt cell housing allows visual inspection of
the salt cell plates and enables monitoring of chlorine
production.
The cell housing is constructed using clear U.V. stabilized acrylic.
Both anode and cathode of the self-clean chlorinator are made from uniquely coated
titanium plates for extra durability.
Self-Cleaning
Hydrochlor TS®Self Clean Salt Cell has the added ability to reverse the polarity of
the voltage to clean calcium build up off its electrodes.
The Hydrochlor TS®’s electrodes, the anode and cathode and hold an electrical
potential difference between them for a designated period of time. This difference
is reversed after that period of time has expired and then the anode becomes the
cathode and the cathode becomes the anode.
The reversing of polarity or electrical potential difference will then start to remove
any calcium build-up, which may have been deposited onto the cathode.
This continuous reversing of polarity will keep the cell clean from calcium deposits
during its operation, providing the chemical balance and flow of the pool water thru
the cell is maintained within normal parameters.
It is recommended that you obtain regular water chemistry tests from your local
pool professional to ensure your water balance is within range.

Installing the Power Pack
Choose a location for the Hydrochlor TS®Power Pack close enough to the Cell/
Housing and filtration pump so that both may be connected/disconnected easily.
The Hydrochlor TS®Power Pack should not be mounted in areas where chemicals
are stored (e.g. acid and chlorine). Also ensure that the Hydrochlor TS®Power Pack
can be connected to the mains power outlet of the pool area. Note that this outlet
must meet the current applicable local standards at the time of installation.
The PUMP socket outlet in the base of the Hydrochlor TS®’s Power Pack is dedicated
to the filtration pump only. Do not use a double adaptor to connect another pump
as this will overload the system and void warranty.
NOTE: For installations running on off-peak electricity supply, like Queensland Tariff
33, it is required to connect the Power pack to power supply for a period of at least
24 hours to fully charge the back-up battery of the timer.
Installing/Connecting the Hydrochlor TS®Self Cleaning Cell
The Cell/Housing assembly should be plumbed into the
pool return line after all other accessories (and prior to any
heating take-offs). Note any water flow direction on the Cell/
Housing. The Cell will need to be removed from the Housing
periodically for cleaning – do not place it where its removal
can be difficult/obstructed.
The Cell Cable is connected to the Cell Connector under the
Hydrochlor TS®Power Pack cover.
Ensure that the 3 connections (2 for Cell Power and 1 for Gas
Sensing) are not loose. A loose connection is likely to cause
arcing which may damage the entire system.
NOTE: Connect all plumbing to the Hydrochlor taking care that all joints are glued
or tightened securely to prevent leaking.
Allow 24 hours for glue (solvent) to set before starting the Hydrochlor TS®.
TIME SWITCH OPERATION

CHLORINE PRODUCTION LEVELS
The output of the chlorinator can be adjusted to reflect the different seasonal
requirements in order to maintain satisfactory chlorine sanitizer levels.
The amount of chlorine produced can be adjusted by pressing the CHLORINE
PRODUCTION CONTROL key. Press button to raise production. If production already
set at maximum it will turn to zero and each press will raise production by one LED
till MAX.
If the pool water is over chlorinated, simply reduce the chlorine production set level.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Salt Level
The Hydrochlor TS®chlorinators must operate between the salt level ranges listed
below.
• MINIMUM = 4000 ppm • OPTIMUM = 5500 ppm • MAXIMUM = 6000 ppm
Testing kits are available from the local pool professional and should be used to
accurately check the salt levels in the pool water.
Note: When the LED lights flash it is an indication of:
• Low salt level
• Low temperature or
• Cell plates wearing
If you don’t know what your salt level is or how to test it, consult your local pool care
specialist.
Water Chemistry
It is important to maintain the correct water chemical balance in the swimming pool; this
will help protect the Hydrochlor chlorinator and its cell.
Consult the local pool professional for the correct water balance according to the
swimming pool type.
The Hydrochlor chlorinator will run correctly at the following chemistry levels
Range Suggested
pH. 7.2 – 7.8 7.2 – 7.6
Total alkalinity 60 – 200ppm 80 – 150ppm
Calcium hardness 100 – 500ppm 60 – 250ppm
Stabilizer (Sun screen) 30 – 60ppm
SALT CELL CLEANING PROCEDURE
a. Press the MODE key until OFF on the power pack, then turn the pump
and Hydrochlor to standby mode.
b. Unscrew the barrel unions from the salt cell and disconnect the cables
from the salt cell’s brass connectors.
c. Turn the salt cell housing upside down with both ports facing upwards.
d. Pour the Cell Wash cleaning solution into the housing to dissolve the
calcium build-up from the salt cell plates. There should be just enough solution to cover the
salt cell plates.
e. Allow enough time for the solution to dissolve the calcium build-up from the salt cell plates.
Approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
f. Once the calcium build-up has been removed, pour out the Cell Wash solution into a bucket
and lightly rinse-off excess calcium and Cell Wash solution from the salt cell assembly, with
fresh water.
g. Reconnect the salt cell onto the filter system
h. Press the MODE button to AUTO or ON on the power pack to reactivate the Hydrochlor.
Never use products that are not specifically manufactured to clean the Hydrochlor TS
®
’s salt
cell. Do not use raw acids such as Hydrochloric acid. This will damage the salt cell and severely
shortens its life and will void warranty. Please consult your local pool professional for advice on
salt cell cleaning products.
