THE INSTRUCTION FOR PTGEM FAMILY POOLS SALT WATER CHLORINATOR GENERATOR

Thank you for purchasing PTGEM salt water chlorinator generator, which will enable you to enjoy your swimming pool in perfect conditions, without the need to add any chemical disinfectants.

The PTGEM salt water chlorination generator system produces chlorine directly in the filtering installations by means of electrolysis of slightly salted water. “Free chlorine” (Hypochlorous acid, HClO) is produced which is a strong bactericide. Results are similar to the chemical products that are normally added.

Saline electrolysis is a reversible process, meaning that once active elements react with organisms present in the water, it reverts to common salt and water.

The device includes several electronic monitoring probes and control devices, as well as an electrolytic cell through which the pool water circulates. The electrolytic cell is installed in the return pipeline after the filter.

If the salt water chlorinator equipment is left to work permanently, it will not be necessary to change the swimming pool water for several years (8 to 15 depending on its use). You will therefore be collaborating with environment preservation policies and water management and saving.

Risk of electric shock

To prevent injuries or accidents, install the equipment out of reach of children.

Ensure that the local installation complies with the regulations in force in the country of installation. The pump timer power supply and salt chlorine controller line of filtration should be protected by a differential circuit breaker with a tripping safety device of 30 mA maximum with opening distance of contact, of at least 3 mm on all the poles. Not confuse with the differential circuit breaker protecting the whole house which is about 300 to 500 mA. In case of doubt, get a qualified electrician to check the whole installation in your area installation. The installation of this equipment should be performed by a qualified person in accordance with the electrical standards in force in the country of installation.

The power supply cables and the cell must be protected against accidental damage. A damaged cable must be replaced immediately and exclusively with an original cable. Never cut or extend the cables.

It is imperative to turn off the power supply before carrying out any technical operation on the device (Adjusting parameters on the touch screen is a normal operation). Do not modify the device. Any modification may damage the device or be dangerous for people. Only qualified person should carry out maintenance or repairs in case of breakdown.

The safety instructions detailed in this manual are not exhaustive. They highlight the most common risks of using electrical equipment in the presence of water. Any installation and use of this equipment should be carried out with caution and common sense.

NOT OBSERVANCE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE OR SERIOUS INJURY!

Suggestions and safety precautions

The equipment should always be installed by qualified staff.
Disconnect the equipment from the mains before performing any assembly or maintenance operation.
Make sure that the electrical installation has all compulsory protection elements (circuit breaker and differential switch) in perfect condition.
It is important to ensure that the supply cables of the electrolysis cell are tightly connected, otherwise the equipment could overheat and break down.
Ensure that the heat dissipation channels (located at the rear of the power controller device) are not blocked and that air can easily circulate through them.
All the PTGEM equipment incorporate protection systems against short circuits in the cell, the water detector and other safety systems that give an acoustic and visual alarm in the event of any anomaly. However, for optimum results, you should ensure the correct hydraulic operation of your swimming pool.
The device casing does not have rainproof capability. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to install the equipment outdoors or directly in sunlight.
Corrosive environments may reduce the lifespan of the equipment. Do not leave open containers with acids near the equipment.
Although the equipment can operate normally with low salt content, the optimum production of salt will be reached with concentrations of over 4kg/m³. We recommend a concentration of 5Kg/m³ to offset small losses of salt occurring when cleaning the filter, the effect of rainfall, etc.
We recommend using salt that is especially prepared for use in salt water chlorination installations, as it is especially prepared for rapid dissolution and to achieve optimum results. You can find it at retailers specializing in swimming pool products. However, the ordinary salt can also achieve the same treatment effect.
ATTENTION: When adding salt to the swimming pool, first disconnect the chlorinator (position OFF), and start-up the filter for 3 or 4 hours, in order for the salt dissolving and not to overload the equipment. Once dissolved, switch on the chlorinator. It is advisable to add salt to the swimming pool gradually, in 2 or 3 times so as not to exceed the recommended amount. We also recommend not to add salt near the drain, to avoid undissolved salt from circulating in the water circuit.
The effectiveness of chlorination and the quality of water for healthy bathing, depends largely on the pH of the water. Therefore, it should be checked regularly and adjusted as necessary.
There are other parameters which should be considered for the correct operation of the salt water chlorinator. We recommend an in-depth analysis of the water when installing a salt water chlorinator.
This device is intended for use in family pools and semi-commercial pools only.

The power supply controller box

Choose a location that is easily accessible, close to the pump timer, far apart 2 meters maximum from the chlorinator cell. Install the controller box vertically, far enough away from the pool to comply with the regulatory distance in force in your country. Do not cover.

The installation area should be dry and properly ventilated (maximal ambient temperature of use:35℃), protected from rain, splashes, water spray, and UV radiation.

It is strongly recommended to connect the salt chlorine controller to use a differential relay with a maximum of 30mA of sensitivity.

Acid or alkali storge tank

Ensure that the pH corrector product container is kept in a place sufficiently remote from any electrical equipment and any other chemical product.

Acid or alkali storage tanks are purchased by distributors or users themselves, and PTGEM POOL does not provide them.

There is a high and low liquid level float alarm installed inside the acid (or alkali) tank, and the lead of the alarm is connected to the power controller.

Salt storge tank and Saltwater tank

The salt storage tank is equipped with an automatic inlet valve to ensure the normal water level inside the tank.

There is a high and low liquid level float alarm installed inside the saltwater tank, and the lead of the alarm is connected to the power controller.

These two cans were purchased by distributors or users themselves, and PTGEM POOL does not provide them.

Installation instructions

Before with installation of the device, it is imperative to check the following points:

Ensure that any hydraulic equipment is in good working order and is correctly sized. In particular, check the flow of the filtration pump, the capacity of the filter and the diameter of the waterworks.

The maximum pressure of the water in the cell must not exceed 3 bars.

The device’s treatment capacity should be adapted to the volume of water to be treated and in the climate of the place of installation. In case of warm climate or in case of using drilling water, a device designed to treat a volume of 30 m³ in moderate climate must be limited to a family swimming pool of 20m³, a device designed to treat a volume of 50 m³ in moderate climate must be limited to a family swimming pool of 40m³, a device designed to treat a volume of 70 m³ in moderate climate must be limited to a family swimming pool of 50m³.

The installation area should be dry and properly ventilated (The maximal ambient temperature is 35°C), protected from rain, splashes, water spray, and UV radiation. Ensure that the pH corrector product container is kept in a place sufficiently remote from any electrical equipment and any other chemical product.

Failure to comply with this instruction will lead to abnormal oxidation of the metallic parts which could result in complete breakdown of the device.

The assembly of the devices (according to the model) must be performed strictly in compliance with the following layout diagram.

Our PTGEM salt chlorinator generator has two major series of products, one is the manual series (PTM series), another type is the automatic series (PTA series). Their installation methods are slightly different, the following content will be described separately.

PTM salt chlorinator generator

The manual series (PTM series) standard accessories include conductivity probe（TDS probe）, Salt pump (including storage tanks for dissolving salt and saltwater tanks, but these two cans were purchased by distributors or users themselves, and PTGEM POOL does not provide them), water temperature measurement, grounding electrode and water flow switches, it can control the timed automatic operation of the filtration pump and also control the timed opening and closing of swimming pool underwater lights. It can also control the start and stop of the salt pump based on the measurement data of the TDS probe and the TDS setting value. you can adjust the chlorine production from 0 to 100% at will.

Controller must be permanently connected to the pump timer by enslaving to the pump timer. Do not use an extension cord. Do not plug the device into an electric power outlet. Beforehand, turn off the differential circuit breaker. Ensure that the controller box well switches off when the filtration pump stops.

Any contact between the controller box and the water can pull a risk of electrocution.

Pool terre grounding kit

Use a wrench to screw the grounding electrode into the accessory bracket.

Connect the electrode to a ground rod (not supplied) complying with specifications of the installation standards in force in your country on the day of installation.

Tighten the upper nut of the electrode while holding the lower nut with a flat spanner to avoid creating an irreversible leak at the connection level.

The electrode grounding kit which permits to evacuate the ground, the static electricity of the water of the pool (whatever is the origin). Indeed, in certain situations, the static electricity can privilege the appearance of phenomena of oxidation on the metallic parts in touch with the water of the swimming pool.

Attention:

The filter pump and pool light must be connected to the controller through auxiliary relays. Never exceed 10A when using the auxiliary relay. For higher currents, supplement the circuit with a contactor.

Remember that the relay is potential free, and therefore the circuit should be supplied externally.

It is important to ensure that the supply cables of the electrolysis cell are tightly connected, otherwise the equipment could overheat and break down.

PTA salt chlorinator generator

The automatic series (PTA series) standard accessories include salt pump and acid pump (including storage tanks for dissolving salt and saltwater tanks, acid storage tank, but these three cans were purchased by distributors or users themselves, and PTGEM POOL does not provide them.), conductivity probe（TDS probe）, PH probe, ORP probe, water temperature measurement, and water flow switches, grounding electrode, it can control the timed automatic operation of the filtration pump and also control the timed opening and closing of swimming pool underwater lights. It can control the start and stop of the acid pump based on the measurement data of the pH probe and the pH setting value. It can also control the start and stop of the salt pump based on the measurement data of the TDS probe and the TDS setting value. The most important function is that it can automatically control the automatic operation of the salt chlorinator cell based on the measurement value of the ORP probe and the ORP setting value, always maintaining the ideal value of the sterilizing agent in the pool, ensuring thorough sterilization of the pool water quality without producing excessive amounts of sterilizing agent that may affect the human body; you can adjust the chlorine production from 0 to 100% at will.

Attention: The filter pump and pool light must be connected to the controller through auxiliary relays. Never exceed 10A when using the auxiliary relay. For higher currents, supplement the circuit with a contactor.

Remember that the relay is potential free, and therefore the circuit should be supplied externally.

The equipment continuously measures the bactericide level of water through this probe, by means of a “Redox” probe (ORP probe), simply adjust the required values and the equipment automatically maintains the level of disinfection by adjusting the production of chlorine to the real needs of the swimming pool.

The screen shows the “Redox” level (bactericide capacity) present in the swimming pool and PH numerical value.

The potential RedOx (Reduction Oxidation) or ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) is the electrical voltage that indicates the oxidation capacity or reduction of a solution. In swimming pools, the oxidation capacity is directly related to the bactericide power of the water, which is directly related to the concentration of free chlorine in the pool, this probe enables you to adjust the equipment in AUTOMATIC operating mode.

Similarly, the equipment continuously measures the PH through PH probe, the acid pump automatically starts and stops running based on the pH measurement value, keeping the pH value of the swimming pool water near the set value.

The TDS probe controls the salt pump to automatically add missing salt, ensuring that the salt content in the pool water is always at the optimal level.

Equipment installation precautions

Place the chlorine cell in a vertical position with electrical connections facing upwards. If this is not possible, it can be assembled in a horizontal position, ensuring that the small auxiliary electrode faces upwards.

Place the chlorination cell in the highest position possible of the purification circuit and always after the filter.
If possible, it is recommended to install the cell with a by-pass system with its corresponding shut-off valves. This is to facilitate maintenance of the cell.
Do not place the REDOX probe (Standard configuration for automatic models) near the chlorinator cell, as faulty readings could be made owing to the proximity of the electrolysis circuit. Always try that there is at least half a meter of water flow distance between the probe and the chlorination cell.
The REDOX probe (ORP probe) should be installed after the filter, but if with this layout it is not possible to keep a minimum distance from the cell, it should be assembled before the filter. In this case more frequent maintenance of the probe is required.
Programming the spotlights of the pool through the auxiliary relay. Remember that the relay is potential free, and therefore the circuit should be supplied externally.
A good earth connection is essential. I strongly recommend you place an earth connection kit between the electrolysis cell and the redox probe.

Alarm items

PH Alarm

When the acid pump works continuously for more than 5 hours (which can be adjusted) and the pH value of the pool water does not reach the set value, the pH adjustment system will issue an alarm (Alarm serial number 14 flashing).

This could occur for the following reasons:

The acid tank is empty and therefore pH corrector is not being injected into the swimming pool.

The pH probe is dirty or worn, and cannot read the real value correctly.

However, what could occur, particularly when starting up the equipment for the first time, is that the real pH of the water is a long way from the set value. The alarm can be disabled if it is calculated that the pump needs to work continuously for several hours to correct the pH. However, it is recommended to enable the alarm once values near the set values are reached.

A proportional control automatically adjusts the pH without the need for controller adjustments. The pump will start up every minute and with a variable operation time of between 0 and 60 seconds.

NOTE: If there is a problem with the acid (alkali) pump and it cannot be repaired in the short term, please select to turn off the acid pump in the user settings interface. At this time, the pH sensor will display OFF.

START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS

When new installing the device or at the beginning of any new season, it is imperative to check and correct all the following points:

The pool water is clean and free of moss and algae.
The pH value remains stable between 7.0 and 7.4.
The salt content in the pool water is greater than 3.5 grams per liter (Directly add the salt in the pool and let work the filtration manually during 8h, during the dissolution of salt the salt chlorinator must be switched off).
The temperature of the pool water is greater than 15 degrees.
Be careful with natural water sources (drilling waters)! Preferably use water from the public water supply. Avoid using any water from natural sources (rain, reservoirs, and wells) under risk of early deterioration of chlorination cell.

Once the PTGEM salt water chlorinator has been installed, after checking the key points mentioned above, you can start up your salt water chlorination equipment.

The following sections detail the operation of different models.

PTM SALT CHLORINATER generator

The PTM series has 5 specifications and models, PTM-10, PTM-15, PTM-20, PTM-25, PTM-35.

They only have TDS probes and probes for measuring water temperature, without measuring and controlling chlorine production or pH value, which requires manual measurement and control.

The TDS probe controls the salt pump to automatically add missing salt, ensuring that the salt content in the pool water is always at the optimal level.

The screen saver time can be set. Clicking on the screen sound can turn it off.

The nighttime alarm prohibition time can be set from the user settings interface. You can also choose 24-hour silent mode. However, it is strongly not recommended to enable a 24-hour mute.

Filter pump control through the auxiliary relay

The filtering pump can be controlled through the auxiliary relay (Remember that the relay is potential free, and therefore the circuit should be supplied externally).

If your filter pump already has a timer, we recommend that you still set the running time of the filter pump on this interface, with the same value as your filter pump timer.

POOL LAMP

You can freely edit the working hours of the pool lights.

The pool light must be connected to the controller through auxiliary relays. Never exceed 10A when using the auxiliary relay. For higher currents, supplement the circuit with a contactor.

Remember that the relay is potential free, and therefore the circuit should be supplied externally.

Time Calibration, Self Cleaning, SALT PUMP

Firstly, you need to calibrate the time of the controller, which is very important.

The equipment includes an automatic cleaning system, based on reversing polarity in the electrolysis cell. For an optimum cleaning of the chlorinator cell, these inversion frequencies must be adjusted depending on the water hardness of your water. These cleaning cycles are performed regularly.The time between cleaning (in hours) can be adjusted depending on the water hardness of your swimming pool, the self-cleaning time is 4 hours, 8h, 16h, 24-hour four options.

If the salt pump has a malfunction, it can be turned off from this interface.

If your swimming pool has an automatic cover, please click on “POOL COVER” on this interface, then enter the next interface.

Pool cover control

If your swimming pool has an automatic cover, it is possible to configure the salt chlorinator to detect it. In this way, the chlorine production will be limited to 25% when the cover is on, in order to avoid an excess of chlorine which can damage the cover.To connect the cover to the chlorinator, place the two contacts from the limit switch and connect them to the 25 and 35 inputs.

Bear in mind that the cover switch can be Normally Open (Switch N.O.) or Normally Close (Switch N.C.), as shown in the above picture.

In case of swimming pools without automatic cover, please select “N”, as shown in the picture above.

The equipment may detect the presence of a cover on the swimming pool (only for automatic covers). In this case, it is only necessary to place the limit switch of the cover in the terminal block, as indicated in the section on electrical installation.On placing the cover, the chlorinator automatically reduces production to 20%. This variation will be reflected in the production %.

If chlorination is carried out with the cover in place, when it is removed, the pool should not be used straightaway. It isbetter to wait ½ hour for any vapors between the water and cover to dissipate.

Water flow switch: The flow sensor detects whether or not there is water flow in the piping. If it detects that there is no flow, the production will stop, and an alarm will sound accompanied by a red warning 11 serial number. Once the flow has been reestablished, the equipment will return to normal operation.Special reminder: Water flow switch is a critical component. If it is damaged, please replace it immediately, otherwise the entire system will not work.

Acid pump and Alkali pump

The acid (alkali) pump can be controlled through the auxiliary relay (Remember that the relay is potential free, and therefore the circuit should be supplied externally).

You can select the type of pH corrector to be used in your swimming pool.Attention: It should be selected correctly otherwise the dosing system will work opposite to expected.Acid pump: Select this mode if you are going to inject pH reducer into the swimming pool (default mode).Alkaline pump: Select this mode if you need to inject pH increaser into the swimming pool.Access this option from the ” User Settings menu “. To change this mode to another one.

Clock

The equipment has a time clock, which will be taken as the reference when programming times of the auxiliary relay. The clock keeps the time setting even when the equipment is without supply. Clock verification is available in the user settings interface, where you can calibrate the accurate time.

Salt pump

The TDS probe controls the salt pump to automatically add missing salt, the salt pump is controlled by the TDS display value, with a TDS control range of 4-6 grams per liter of water. When the TDS on the screen is below 4 grams per liter, the salt pump starts to add salt to the pool water. When the displayed TDS is greater than 6 grams per liter, the salt pump stops working. This process does not require manual intervention and runs fully automatically, ensuring that the salt content in the pool water is always at the optimal level.

The working process of salt pumps in PTM series and PTA series products is completely the same.

ORP

This device is equipped with an ORP probe for measuring the redox potential of pool water at any time.

Adjustment of the set value in which a Redox probe, adjust the oxidation potential to the required level. For private swimming pools that are not used frequently, 650 mV is a sufficient value 700 mV is the suitable value for the majority of swimming pools. However, the best way to adjust the optimal ORP value is to analyze the water and determine the ratio between ORP and PPM, because there are some differences between several types of water.

Production of Cl₂

Configuration of the maximum production of chlorine.
From 0% to 100% and use the + or – key to change the value.
Note: Chlorine production may be limited regardless of the operation mode (manual, automatic) that is selected.
NOTE: Whether it’s manual or automatic series products, you can adjust the production percentage from 0% to 100%.

Man-Auto control: The Man mode enables you to keep the equipment on permanently, so that when the filtering pump starts up, it will instruct the chlorinator to start-up.
