Konfiguracja i instalacja

The AquaStar ChemStar Inline Chlorinator CH100 is designed for permanent installation in your pool or spa's plumbing system. Proper installation is critical for safe and effective operation.

Wymagania dotyczące lokalizacji:

• Install the chlorinator in the return line on the pressure side of the pump.
• It must be installed w dół rzeki of all other pool equipment, including heaters, filters, and pumps. This prevents highly chlorinated water from damaging sensitive equipment.
• Ensure adequate space for future maintenance, especially for lid removal (refer to specifications for service clearance).

Kroki instalacji:

1. Wyłącz zasilanie: Before beginning any work, ensure all power to the pool pump and related equipment is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. System odpływowy: Partially drain the pool or spa system to below the level of the proposed installation point to prevent water spillage.
3. Cut Plumbing: Identify the appropriate section of the return line for installation. Cut out a section of the PVC pipe to accommodate the chlorinator's diverter tee (CH1005). The chlorinator is standardized with 2-inch slip PVC fittings and includes adapters for 1½ inch pipes.
4. Dopasowanie na sucho: Temporarily fit the diverter tee and chlorinator body into place to ensure proper alignment and fit.
5. Apply PVC Cement: Apply PVC primer and cement to all connecting surfaces according to the manufacturer's instructions. Securely glue the diverter tee into the plumbing line.
6. Assemble Chlorinator:
   • Ensure the screen (CH1029) is properly seated at the bottom of the chlorinator body.
   • Connect the chlorinator body (CH1007) to the diverter tee (CH1005).
   • Install the check valve (CH1010) as indicated in the diagram, ensuring the flow direction is correct.
   • Connect the ½" chlorine control valve (CH1019) and associated tubing (CH1026) as shown in the product diagram.
   • Apply silicone lubricant (CH1059) to all O-rings (CH1008, CH1009) before assembly to ensure a proper seal.
7. Bezpieczne połączenia: Dokładnie dokręć wszystkie połączenia, ale nie przekręcaj ich.
8. Sprawdzenie szczelności: Once installation is complete, slowly refill the pool/spa system and turn on the pump. Carefully inspect all connections for leaks. Address any leaks immediately.

The external fine control valve (CH1019) allows for precise adjustment of the chemical feed rate to meet your pool or spa's specific requirements.

• Increase Feed: Turn the control valve knob counter-clockwise to increase the flow of water through the chlorinator, thereby increasing the chemical dissolution rate.
• Decrease Feed: Turn the control valve knob clockwise to decrease the flow of water, reducing the chemical dissolution rate.
• Poziomy monitorowania: Regularly test your pool or spa water chemistry (chlorine/bromine levels) using a reliable test kit. Adjust the control valve incrementally until the desired sanitizer level is consistently maintained. Allow several hours for changes to take effect before retesting.
