Waterco Hydrochlor ST

What’s In the Box?

• Hydrochlor ST Control Unit

• Manual Warranty Booklet

NOTE: If bought as Salt Water Chlorinator unit, the electrolytic cell is provided in a

separate carton.

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 and bacteria 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 and bacteria. A salt-

water chlorinated pool requires much less attention than a

chlorine pool.

HYDROCHLOR ST

Hydrochlor consists of a Control Unit (power supply)with a built

in timer (Synchronous Timer) and a electrolytic salt cell (where

the chlorine is produced).

Hydrochlor Control Unit

The Control Unit monitors and regulates chlorine production by

regulating the amount of electrical energy supplied to the electrolytic salt cell.

Synchronous Timer

The Timer controls power

to the pump and electrolytic cell.

It can be programmed to turn

“ON” or “OFF” at any time that

suits your lifestyle.

Synchronous Timer

Electrolytic Salt Cell

Waterco’s salt cell consists of a series of titanium

electrodes with opposite charges. Waterco’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

Waterco’s 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 Control Unit power up the salt cell (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.

INSTALLATION

These guidelines should be followed to install the Hydrochlor ST:

a. Ensure that the electrolytic 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 electrolytic 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.

I pg 03

Waterco Hydrochlor ST

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.

PLUMBING DIAGRAM

Installing the Control Unit

Choose a location for the Control Unit close enough to the Cell/Housing and filtration

pump so that both may be connected/disconnected easily. The Control Unit should

not be mounted in areas where chemicals are stored (e.g. acid and chlorine). Also

ensure the Control Unit 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 Control Unit 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.

Installing/Connecting Electrolytic 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 Electrolytic Cell is connected to Control Unit using the cell cable.

Ensure that the 4 connections (3 for Cell Power and 1 for flow detection) are not loose.

A loose connection is likely to cause arcing which may damage the entire system.

NOTE: Connect all plumbing to the Cell Housing 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 ST.

OPERATION

Setting the time

To set current time, rotate minute hand until arrow-head aligns with correct time.

The clock operates in a 24 hour time sequence

Setting Filtration and Chlorinator Operation Time.

To set ON/OFF times, move all tappets

between ON and OFF times required

to outer position.

I.E. to set ON at 7.30 a.m. and OFF

at 10.30 a.m. move all tappets

between 7.30 and 10.30 to

ON Position:

the timer is permanently ON irrespective of tappet positions. This is the recommended

setting to work in combination with Waterco’s Aquamaster or ChemfloPlus.

AUTO Position:

the timer is operating on timed control as determined by tappet positions. This the

automatic operation position.

OFF Position:

the timer is permanently OFF irrespective of tappet positions.

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 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.

Pump Only Mode: The Chlorinator can be set to activate the pump only for maintenance

purposes (e.g. backwashing the filter). The pump only mode will disable the flow

detection and chlorine production in the cell. To set press CHLORINE PRODUCTION

key until Pump Only mode LED is lit.

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

SALT CELL CLEANING PROCEDURE

a. Set the Synchronous Timer to “off” position.

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. Set the time back to original “ON” or “AUTO” position on the power pack to

reactivate the Hydrochlor.

Never use products that are not specifically manufactured to clean the Hydrochlor

ST’s salt cell. Do not use raw acids such as Hydrochloric acid. This will damage

the salt cell and severely life and will void warranty. Please consult your local pool

professional for advice on salt cell cleaning products.
