When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.

DO NOT PLUG UNIT IN IF CARTON HAS BEEN WET.

GAS BUILDUP CAN OCCUR WITH IMPROPER WIRING: To reduce the risk of personal injury the

Power Pack is designed so that the Electrolytic Cell will only receive power when the pool pump is

on. Otherwise, dangerous chlorine gas build-up can occur. If the pump is not installed to the AC

Socket (pump outlet) on the Power Pack then the installer must ensure that the Electrolytic Cell is

never ener owing through the unit.

While every e rt has been made to ensure that the information contained in this guide is

accurate and complete, no liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions. Crystal Aquatic

Systems reserves the right to change the speci cations of the hardware and software described

herein at any time without prior notice.

Please remember that your VAPURE VP-Series Salt Chlorinator is not designed to chemically

maintain your pool water and keep it balanced, but rather to produce chlorine from a mild salt

solution within the water. We encourage regular water testing, balancing and correction if & when

required to maintain the recommended balanced levels of your pool water. This is a vital part of a

complete maintenance program and will ensure trouble free performance as well as a healthy and

sparkling clean pool.

Ther erent size models in our range:

The models available (VP15, 25, 35, 45 and 55) are all reverse polarity units designed to automatically

change direction every 4-16hrs (depending on your setting). See 7.3 CELL CLEANING to change

the reversing times. This change of polarity causes the calcium to dislodge and keep the cell plates

clean. Please note occasional cleaning of the electrode plates may still be necessary.

Thank you again for choosing a VAPURE VP-Series Salt Chlorinator.

We wish you many happy years of swimming in your crystal clear pool.

Congratulations on your recent purchase of your VAPURE VP-Series Salt Chlorinator.

Please take a moment to read through the entire manual before installing your new unit.

Your chlorinator must be installed and operated as speci ed.

Handy Tips

NEVER ADD SALT/MINERALS DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER BOX. This high concentration

of either salt or minerals will pass through your ﬁltration, pump and other pool

For all new pool installations please seek advice from your pool builder or your local pool Professional

before adding salt, as some new surfaces request no salt to be added when initially completed.

Salt levels above 5000ppm may overload the unit and cause excessive heat and void

your warranty.

Salt levels should ideally be 3000-3500ppm and no more than 5000ppm and mineral levels should

Check your salt levels in your pool before starting your unit. See 6.6 to perform a SALT TEST.

be 20-30% higher. Contact your local pool Professional for further assistance.

The colder the water the lower your output but this does not mean you need more salt. There will

always be less chlorine demand in colder water.

We recommend 3.5kg per 1000 litre of pool water and a 50,000lt new pool needs approximately

175kg of salt. For the FRESHWATER LOW SALT SYSTEM Model: VP25LS, we recommend 1.5kg per

1000 litre of pool water.

The unit can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts and you should allow an extra 20-30% on

the ppm for these type of salts.

Salt should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve. Do not let the

y cause damage to the surface. Use your pool brush to

mix the salt into the water.

Running the pump will mix the water and help the salt to dissolve.

) to allow the salt to

dissolve.

By pressing [ TDS TEST ] a salt measurement is taken and a total TDS reading is displayed. The ideal

TDS reading should be 3000-3500 and this will be displayed. If >4500 is displayed the salt level is too

high and we suggest taking a sample to your local pool Professional for a more accurate result and

further assistance. For the FRESHWATER LOW SALT SYSTEM Model: VP25LS, the ideal TDS reading is

1500-2000ppm.

3. POOL PREPARATION

65a010a5-6d71e2d3-6b3148b4-770d42ea65a010a5-6d71e2d3-6b3148b4-770d42ea65a010a5-6d71e2d3-6b3148b4-770d42ea

Connect the Cell Housing horizontally in the return line to the pool (use reducing bushes supplied if

40mm PVC pipe) using high pressure PVC glue. The Cell Housing can be mounted vertically but

provision must be made for a gas trap.

Direction of wate ow through the Cell Housing is not critical although we do recommend entry from

the closed end of the Cell Housing and exit from the end closest to the Cell Locking Ring. The reason is

to cause less water hammer over time on the cell plates.

Check that the O-ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum based jelly) and

securely located in the Cell Housing.

Ensure Cell Locking Ring i rmly tightened by hand (DO NOT use a tool to tighten).

Connect the lead from the Cell Electrode to the Cell Plug under the Power Pack ensurin rm snap

lock connection.

Plug the Power Pack 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof RCD protected 10amp outlet and then

plug the pump into the 3 pin AC Socket located at the bottom of the Power Pack.

The VAPURE VP-Series Salt Chlorinator has a Ingress Protection Rating of IP23 enabling it to be installed

outdoors. Regulations require that the Power Pack shall be installed outside the pool zone. The Power

Pack shall be installed according to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.

The Power Pack should be installed in a well ventilated position ideally away from sunlight and rain to

prolong life and at least 1m above ground to prevent run o ater entry.

Ensure that the Power Pack is not stored near chemicals, fertilisers or in a closed unventilated shed with

similar products as the fumes will cause excessive corrosion and damage to the internals of the Power

Pack and may void warranty.

When mounting the Power Pack on a post it is recommended to instal at panel at least the same

size to act as a waterproof backing plate.

Mount the Power Pack with the Mounting Bracket, Green Plugs and Screws provided.

The Power Pack should be mounted no further than 1.5 metres from the Chlorinator Cell for ease of

operation.

4.3 Installation Diagram

A LWAYS ensure that pipe work and equipment do not allow gases generated from the cell to collect and

build up in any part of the installation.

It is RECOMMENDED that the Cell Housing be installed horizontally to create a natural gas trap that acts as

a safety device. Installation in any other way may cause explosion, injury or death if the installer does not

allow for gas removal. A venturi pipe is installed/moulded within the Cell Housing design to eliminate any

possible gas build up, although it is always recommended to ensure proper installation to eliminate this

from happening.

The Cell Housing must be installed in the RETURN pipework to the pool. It must always be installed after

, gas heater, solar heating or heat pump.

DO NOT ell Housing, it is not needed and may react with the plastic.

Saltwater may damage electrical components in the Power Pack.

WARNING:

Important Notes:

The pump rating must not exceed 8amps.

We DO NOT recommend the use of valves on the inlet or outlet of the cell housing. If you do use a valve

then it is important to ensure that the valve cannot deadhead (lock closed) while the pump is running. It is

the installers responsibility to ensure some f w control is installed in this instance and it disables

the pump.
