Zodiac - EiSalt 30 Salt Chlorinator – 30 g/h - 75462

Zodiac – EiSalt 30 Salt Chlorinator – 30 g/h

The Zodiac EiSalt 30 is a salt chlorinator with a chlorine production of 30 g/h, rated for pools up to 140 m³ in a temperate climate. Power consumption is 180 W.

How salt electrolysis works

The EiSalt range treats pool water by salt electrolysis. Common salt is dissolved in the pool water, and this salt water passes through the electrolysis cell. The cell holds titanium plates (electrodes) that produce free chlorine when electric current is applied.

The system produces chlorine only while the pool’s filtration (pump and filter) is running. It is controlled by the filtration timer, so the chlorinator and the pump work together.

Control and operation

The user interface uses LEDs. A selector key sets the chlorine production level, and the LEDs show the selected level and the salt alarm.

The range has a normal mode and a cover mode. When the pool cover or roller shutter is closed, chlorine production is reduced automatically. There is also an input for an external controller, such as an ORP or residual chlorine controller.

The electrodes clean themselves by reverse polarity, and the reversal setting is adjustable.

Safety features

A gas sensor stops production automatically if there is no water flow through the cell, and production restarts once flow returns. A salt indicator light shows when the salt level is wrong, and production is reduced to protect the electrode.

The control unit has a protection rating of IP24. It is intended for dry, well-ventilated machine rooms. It is not for outdoor use or for places exposed to flooding.

Installation

Installation and electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified installer, following the manual and the electrical regulations in force.

• Mount the control unit vertically on a rigid wall in a dry, ventilated place, away from the cell so it cannot be splashed.
• Fit the cell after the filtration, with any heating or control equipment placed before it. It can be installed horizontally or vertically.
• The cell connects to PVC pipework, and PVC reducers allow use with the smaller compatible pipe size.
• Connect the control unit in the filtration box so that the pump and the chlorinator run together.

Maintenance

Thanks to the self-cleaning electrodes, manual cleaning is normally not needed. If it does become necessary, follow the procedure in the manual. The electrodes and cell must never be scraped or brushed.

To get the most from the electrodes, keep the pool water balanced and the salt level in the recommended range. Use plain salt without additives.
