WINTERIZING

Active winterizing

When temperatures are low, very little chlorine is required. If actively winterizing your pool, the
Covered Pool mode will be sufficient.
However, the chlorinator will not produce chlorine below 10°C and will display an error code (E2);
this feature prolongs the service life of the cell.
If water temperature continues to decrease until freezing, the cell and plumbing of your pool will be
damaged by the freezing water.
Before first frost, as a precautionary measure, disconnect the cell (following the steps above) by
closing the bypass to isolate the circuit. Store your cell in a dry place.
If a bypass is not in place, replace the cell with the winterizing tube
(product ref CL-TSLTUBE - provided). Store your cell in a dry place.

Passive winterizing

In areas subject to periods of prolonged or extreme cold, before first frost, ensure that all water has
been removed from the pump, filter, as well as the water supply and return lines.
As a precautionary measure, disconnect the cell (following "Disassembly", page 38) by closing
the bypass to isolate the circuit and store your cell in a dry place.
If a bypass is not in place, replace the cell with the winterizing tube (product ref CL-TSLTUBE -
provided). Store your cell in a dry place.

Restarting in spring

When operating pool equipment for the first time after long periods of inactivity, do not switch on the
chlorinator until the water has been balanced, in particular pH and salt concentration, and optimal
levels have been reached (namely, pH between 7.0 and 7.4 and salt concentration of 3.5 g/l).
This is also a good time to test the other parameters mentioned at the beginning of this user guide.
WARNING: If the water has turned green after winterizing your pool,
the chlorinator alone will not be sufficient to clear up green water.
Intermittent use of chlorine tablets may be necessary. Do not put the
chlorine tablets directly into the skimmer; use a floating dispenser. Switch
off the chlorinator beforehand to prevent damage to the cell.
