❷ Installing the salt water chlorinator
2.1 I Installing the cell
• The cell must be installed on the piping a er the  ltra on system, a er any measurement sensors, and
a er any hea ng system.
Installing the chlorinator only
(Example with eXO® (iQ))
Installing the chlorinator + op onal module
(Example with eXO® (iQ))
• The cell must always be the last element placed on the pool return pipe (see diagram).
• It is always recommended to install the cell on a by-pass. This assembly is MANDATORY if the
fl ow is in excess of 18 m³/hour to avoid head loss.
• If you installed the cell on a by-pass, it is recommended to  t a check valve downstream from
the cell instead of a manual valve, to avoid any risk of incorrect con gura on which could
result in poor circula on inside the cell.

• Make sure that the cell is placed HORIZONTALLY. The water should  ow from the electric connec ons
towards the opposite side.
• Use the screw-on   ngs to  x the cell to the pipes.
• For Ø63 mm pipes, glue them directly to the screw-on   ngs. For Ø50 mm pipes, use glue-on PVC adapters
of the corresponding diameter (grey models; the white models are for 1 ½’’ UK pipes).
• Connect the cell power cord following the wire colour codes (red, black and blue connectors) and then re t
the protec ve cap. The two red wires can be connected to one or the other red terminals on the electrode.

• Posi on the EU pipe adapter (DN50 mm) upside down at the posi on where the pipe ( ) will be installed.
• Use a drill bit or centre-punch to mark the posi ons of the holes to be drilled on the pipe, remove the EU
pipe adapter (DN50 mm) and drill the holes using the hole saw supplied.
• Check that the edges are perfectly smooth and deburred (use abrasive paper for example).
• Clip together the lower and upper parts of the cell collar on the pipe at the holes, respec ng the water  ow
direc on (use the "EU" Ø50 adapter for a Ø50 mm pipe).
• Posi on the top transparent part of the cell (presence of a foolproof loca ng notch), posi on the
compression ring on the thread of the upper collar by aligning the point ( ) of the collar with the arrow
of the collar ( ), then  ghten  rmly by hand (do not use a tool).
• Connect the cell power cord in compliance with the wire colour codes (red, black and blue connector(s))
and then  t the protec ve cap. For GenSalt OT 10, the second red connector will not be connected; leave
it as it is before posi oning the protec on cover.

2.2 I Installing the temperature sensor (depending on the model)
• The water temperature sensor displays the water temperature value on the appliance screen and manages
chlorina on according to the temperature. The sensor must measure the temperature of the water
upstream of any possible hea ng system.
• The sensor is designed to be mounted on rigid Ø50 mm, Ø63 mm or Ø1 ½’’ PVC pipes. Do not install on any
other type of pipe.
• Install the sensor either between the  lter pump and the  lter, or between the  lter and any other
downstream equipment, see “2.1 I Installing the cell”:
-Drill a hole in the pipe using a Ø9 mm (max. Ø10 mm) drill bit, then deburr the hole,
-Install the O-ring provided on the sensor body,
-Secure the sensor using the stainless-steel clamping collar provided. Do not use excess strength.

the heang system (B).
4. Connect the disconnected ow switch wire (step
2) with the wire from terminal 2 of the chlorinator
(A) using a suitable connecon terminal (C).
5. Turn the heang system on. Set the temperature
setpoint of the heang system to its maximum (and
set to the desired mode if there are several heang
modes available). The chlorinator will use the water
temperature measured by its sensor to manage the
acvaon of the heang system according to the
temperature setpoint.
