Zodiac – Ei² iQ 12 Salt Chlorinator – 12 g/h

The Ei² iQ 12 is a salt water chlorinator from Zodiac that produces 12 g/h of chlorine for pools up to 50 m³. It works at the recommended salt level of 4 g/L (3.5-10 g/L).

How the Ei² iQ works

The Ei² iQ is a salt electrolysis system made up of two parts: an electrolysis cell and a control unit. Once salt has been dissolved in the pool water, the salt solution passes through the titanium plates (electrodes) in the cell. When an electric current is applied, free chlorine is produced.

The system produces chlorine while the pool’s filtration system (pump and filter) is running. The recommended salinity is 4 g/L, with an operating range of 3.5-10 g/L. The electrodes are cleaned automatically, which prevents incrustations from forming on them.

Commande et connectivité

The large user interface shows the essential information, and the touch buttons give access to all settings. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are built in, so the chlorinator can be controlled remotely through the manufacturer’s app.

Two operating modes are available:

• Boost mode: 100% chlorination for 24 hours.
• Cover mode: reduced chlorination when the pool cover is closed (adjustable).

The chlorinator reads water salinity and water temperature. A mechanical flow switch stops the system automatically if there is no flow in the cell.

Installation

Assembly, electrical connection and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified installer who has read the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The chlorinator runs on a 230 Vac supply. It must be earthed and fed through a residual current device, and the installation must meet the standards that apply to swimming pools.

Install the control unit upright on a rigid surface in a dry, ventilated area, protected from the weather. Do not install it where there is a risk of flooding or near flammable materials. The Quick Fix cell goes into a horizontal pipe, and its clamping ring is tightened by hand. The pack includes a cell installation kit, a flow switch kit, a wall mounting kit, a temperature sensor kit, a locking ring wrench and a winterizing cap.

Before the first start-up, the filter should be clean and the pool water free of copper, iron and algae. Any heating equipment must be compatible with salt in the water. With the control unit disconnected, run the filter pump for 24 hours so the salt dissolves completely.

Maintenance and water care

The cell body is translucent, so the polarity-reversing electrode can be checked easily. The estimated electrode lifetime is 8,000–10,000 h. When the system detects that the electrode is at the end of its life, it shows a cell alarm and the electrode needs replacing.

Balanced pool water allows more efficient treatment and helps the electrodes last longer. Check the manufacturer’s full manual for the recommended water parameters and for cell maintenance. Use genuine replacement parts only, and disconnect the system from the power supply before replacing any component.

Standard and evolutive versions

The models on this page are the standard version, which is a salt water chlorinator only. The manufacturer also offers an evolutive version of the range with pH regulation and an optional ORP kit. Those features are not part of the standard models listed here.
