  • Low Mode: Adjustable 0-30% output for reduced chlorine needs (e.g., during low pool use or when covered).

Technical Specifications:

Easy Installation & Maintenance

• Simple Setup: Installs horizontally with correct flow orientation, with the cell inlet near the electrical lead. Fits 40mm or 50mm PVC pipes and requires no plumbing adjustments for LM3 retrofits.

• Low Maintenance: Automatic self-cleaning reduces calcium deposits. Manual cleaning, when needed, uses Salt Chlorinator Cell Cleaner or a safe 1:10 hydrochloric acid solution (see manual for details).
• Water Chemistry Matters: Maintain balanced water (pH, salinity, etc.) to prevent calcium build-up and ensure cell longevity, protecting your warranty.

• Winterising Tips: For active winterising in cold weather (<18°C), reduce output and use the Zodiac Winteriser Pool Pack to prevent algae, maintain clarity, and protect equipment for 6 months. For passive winterising, shut down and drain the system.
