4. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa
The E-Next 21 electrolyzer is designed for straightforward integration into your pool's filtration system. Its compact design allows for installation in most technical rooms, whether for new construction or renovation projects.
4.1 Instalazio aurreko egiaztapenak
- Ensure the pool water has the correct salt concentration (4-6 g/L).
- Verify that the filtration system is clean and functioning correctly.
- Choose a suitable location for the control unit, protected from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
4.2 Connecting to the Filtration System
- Install the electrolytic cell in the return line of the pool's filtration system, after the filter and heater (if present), and before any chemical injection points.
- Ensure the cell is installed horizontally or vertically according to the arrows indicating water flow.
- Connect the cell to the control unit using the provided cables.
- Connect the integrated flow detector to the designated port on the control unit. This ensures the electrolyzer only operates when water is flowing.
4.3 Konexio elektrikoa
- Connect the control unit to a dedicated electrical circuit (230 V - 50/60 Hz) protected by a residual current device (RCD).
- If using the pool cover integration feature, connect the pool cover's auxiliary contact to the designated terminal on the electrolyzer control unit. This will automatically reduce chlorine production to 10% when the cover is closed.
5. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
The E-Next 21 is designed for user-friendly operation, with automatic functions linked to your pool's filtration cycles.
5.1 Starting the Electrolyzer
- Once installed and connected, ensure the pool's filtration pump is running.
- The electrolyzer will automatically start producing chlorine when water flow is detected.
- The production will automatically stop when the filtration pump stops or if insufficient flow is detected.
5.2 Adjusting Production Levels
The E-Next 21 offers four adjustable production levels to match your pool's needs and size:
- %0: No chlorine production.
- %50: Reduced chlorine production.
- %75: Moderate chlorine production.
- %100: Maximum chlorine production.
Use the control buttons on the unit to select the desired production level. The current level is indicated by LEDs.
5.3 Pool Cover Integration
If connected to a pool cover, the electrolyzer will automatically reduce its chlorine production to 10% when the cover is closed. This feature helps prevent over-chlorination and prolongs equipment life.
6. Mantentzea
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your E-Next 21 electrolyzer.
6.1 Self-Cleaning Cell
The E-Next 21 features a self-cleaning cell through automatic polarity inversion (every 2-3 hours). This process minimizes scale buildup on the electrodes, reducing the need for manual cleaning.
6.2 Electrode Lifespan
The titanium electrodes are designed for a long operational life of approximately 8,000 hours under normal operating conditions and proper water chemistry.
6.3 Salt Level Monitoring
The unit includes a salt level alarm. If the salt level drops below the recommended range (4-6 g/L), the alarm will activate. Add salt to the pool water as needed to restore optimal levels.
6.4 Garbiketa orokorra
- Periodically inspect the electrolytic cell for any visible scale buildup. If manual cleaning is required, consult a professional or refer to specific cleaning instructions for salt cells.
- Mantendu kontrol-unitatea garbi eta hautsik eta hondakinik gabe.
