Salt chlorinators CTX

AstralPool chlorinators are designed to operate with an optimum salinity of 4-6 g/L. However, some advanced models feature low salinity electrolysis technology, allowing them to operate with salt concentrations below 2 g/L.

This innovation brings significant advantages such as less corrosion of the pool's metal components, softer water and reduced environmental impact, without compromising disinfection efficiency.

Yes, you can install a UV disinfection system along with a salt chlorinator from CTX, and in fact, combining them can improve the water quality in your pool.

Benefits of combining a salt chlorinator with a UV system:

• Reduced chemicals: UV disinfection destroys bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms without the need for additional chemicals, which decreases the amount of chlorine the salt chlorinator must generate.
• Healthier water: UV light destroys chloramines, the compounds responsible for strong chlorine odor and eye and skin irritation.
• More efficient disinfection: The combination of both systems ensures crystal clear water free of microorganisms with minimal maintenance.
• Savings: As UV aids in disinfection, the salt chlorinator can operate at a lower capacity, prolonging the life of the electrolysis cell.

Yes, all models Innowater incorporate a self-cleaning system:

• Polarity reversal technology: Changes the polarity of the electrodes periodically
• Adjustable frequency: Allows to adapt the cleaning frequency according to the water hardness Benefits: Reduces scale build-up and prolongs the life of the cell

• Minimize its use: If the pool is kept in circulation, it is recommended to activate the chlorinator for half an hour or one hour a day at the most, to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
• Supplement with traditional chlorine: In very low temperatures, it is more efficient to use chemical chlorine in small doses to maintain disinfection.
• Turn off the chlorinator if the pool is winterized: If the pool is not used in winter and a suitable chemical winterizer has been applied, it is best to turn off the chlorinator to avoid deterioration of the cell.

• Lower chlorine production: At cold temperatures, chlorinator performance is significantly reduced.
• Increased stress on the electrolysis cell: Chlorine generation under these conditions may accelerate plate wear.
• Higher energy consumption: The machine may require more time to produce the required amount of chlorine.

The electrolysis process is highly dependent on the conductivity of the water, which is affected by temperature. When the water is cold (below 15°C and especially close to 10°C), the chlorine production efficiency decreases and the electrolysis plate suffers increased wear.

As a general rule, manufacturers provide guidance on cell life. In the case of the Astralpool equipment, all have a lifetime of 10,000 hours. Except for the new Elite Connect range with CellWare technology, which is increased to 18,000 hours

However, this lifetime is influenced by several factors:

• Water quality and maintenance: In areas with very calcareous water, the accumulation of lime scale on the electrolysis plates can accelerate wear, requiring more frequent cleaning with acidic products, reducing the lifetime of the titanium.
• Number of operating hours: Equipment used in a pool with high disinfection demand (such as in hot climates or in pools with a high bather load) will require more operating hours, reducing the durability of the cell.
• Salt concentration: Maintaining the recommended levels (4-6 g/l) avoids overloading the cell, optimizing its performance.

Unfortunately the Go Salt. model does not use the same bracket, so you will have to make modifications to the installation.

This component helps to eliminate stray currents that can be generated in the salt water of the pool, protecting the metal components of the installation against galvanic corrosion.

Benefits of installing an equipotential bonding anode:

• Corrosion protection: prevents premature deterioration of metal parts such as ladders, spotlights, heat exchangers and stainless steel fittings.
• Reduction of stray currents: Neutralizes the electrical currents that can circulate in the water due to the presence of different conductive materials.
• Longer equipment life: Helps to extend the durability of components submerged in salt water.

• Up to 30 m³: A chlorinator with a production of 10-15 g/h is recommended
• Between 30 and 50 m³: A chlorinator with a production of 15-20 g/h is recommended
• Between 50 and 70 m³: A chlorinator with a production of 20 g/h is recommended.
• Between 70 and 120 m³: A chlorinator with a production of 30 g/h is recommended
• More than 150 m³: A chlorinator with a production of more than 50 g/h is recommended
