Zodiac – eXO® iQ 18 R Salt Chlorinator – 18 g/h

The Zodiac eXO® iQ 18 R is a salt water chlorinator with smart control of pool equipment. It produces 18 g/h of chlorine for pools up to 70 m³ and works at a salt level of 4 g/l.

How the eXO® iQ chlorinator works

The eXO® iQ range uses salt water electrolysis to treat the pool water automatically and continuously. Salt is added to the pool water, and the cell produces the chlorine for disinfection.

The electrodes are self-cleaning through polarity reversal, which can be adjusted to every 2 to 8 hours. The cell has a stated working life of 10 000 h.

The chlorinator has three operating modes: Normal, Boost and Low. Low mode can be used as a cover mode, reducing chlorination when the electric pool cover is closed, with automatic or manual activation.

Protection intégrée

The range includes several safety functions to protect the electrode and the pool system:

• Production stops automatically if there is no flow in the cell, using a mechanical flow sensor.
• A temperature sensor lowers chlorine production in cold water to protect the electrode.
• A low salt indicator light shows when production is reduced to protect the electrode.

Écran, commande et connectivité

The chlorinator has a TFT colour screen with a 12-line colour display. A simple colour-coded dashboard shows the status of the pool and its equipment at a glance. The menus are available in 13 languages.

Built-in Wi-Fi lets you see and manage the settings of your pool equipment remotely from a smartphone app. If the Wi-Fi signal at the unit is weak, a Wi-Fi extender may be needed.

Commande des équipements de piscine et modules optionnels

As well as chlorination, the eXO® iQ can control other pool equipment from a single box. It can run a single-speed or variable-speed filtration pump, and its auxiliary outputs can control a heating system, pool lighting (including colour control with compatible lighting) or a backwash valve, among other devices.

The range can be upgraded with plug and play modules for a more complete water treatment: the optional pH Link module for pH regulation, or the optional Dual Link module for pH and ORP regulation.

Installation and upkeep

Assembly, electrical installation and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified installer. The unit runs on a 220-240 V / 50-60 Hz power supply and fits DN50 mm, DN63 mm, 1 ½” and 2” plumbing.

Add salt to the pool before starting the chlorinator, and keep to the salt level given for your model. Test the water balance regularly through the season. If you fit a pH Link or Dual Link module, the sensors need regular cleaning and calibration.
