1.0 FOREWORD
1.1 Congratulations on purchasing an Evolution Evochlor Salt Water Chlorinator for your
swimming pool. This system is designed for reliability and easy operation to provide
many years of trouble-free service. Please read the instructions thoroughly before
operating the unit. If you have any concerns or require further assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact our friendly staff or any of our Evolution distributors.
2.0 POOL CHEMISTRY
2.1 It is important to note that the Evochlor Chlorinator does not maintain the water
chemistry of the swimming pool water; it simply produces chlorine from a mild salt
solution. To ensure that the water is chemically balanced within the guidelines listed
below, the pool water should be tested regularly at a pool shop to maintain a sparkling
and healthy pool.
pH 7.2 – 7.6
Total Alkalinity 90 – 150ppm
Cyanuric Acid 40 – 65ppm
Salt 4,000ppm
Chlorine 1.5 – 3.0ppm
2.2 The Evochlor Chlorinator is designed to operate on a salt level of 4,000 parts per million
(ppm). This is easily achieved by using the formula below, or approximately 20kg of salt
for every 5,000 litres.
For example:
Pool volume = Length x Width x Average Depth x 1000
= 9m x 4m x 1.5m x 1000
= 54000 litres
Salt required = Pool Volume x 4 (salt level required, 4000ppm)
1000
= 54000 x 4
1000
= 216kg
Or 11 x 20kg bags of pool salt
2.3 Note: Before adding salt to the swimming pool, please ensure the chlorinator is
switched off to avoid overload damage. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY VOID WARRANTY.
2.4 Before initial startup, it is recommended to manually add chlorine to the swimming pool
as a salt water chlorinator is designed to maintain chlorine levels over time and not run
for unnecessarily long hours to build an acceptable chlorine level. The manual addition
of chlorine may also be required for unforeseen situations where the swimming pool
has a high chlorine demand, for example, after a large bather load or heavy rain.

3.0 CELL INSTALLATION
3.1 The electrolytic cell housing must be plumbed into the return line after the filter. Please
referto the installation diagram, Fig. 1, below for the preferred method. The cell housing
has allocations for either 50mm PVC pipe or 40mm PVC pipe using the supplied PVC
reducing bushes.
3.2 If a heater is plumbed into the system, then the cell housing must be installed after the
heater in the return line to protect the elements or heat exchanger. If a solar heating
system is fitted, then the cell housing should be installed after the return line comes
back from the roof if it rejoins the main swimming pool return line.

4.0 POWER PACK INSTALLATION
4.1 The Evochlor Chlorinator power pack is wall mounted using the supplied mounting
bracket or directly hanging on the wall with screws (300mm centres). The power pack
must be mounted at least 1 metre above the ground and 3 metres or more from the
pool edge.
4.2 It is strongly recommended that the power pack be installed where it is protected
from the elements. Rain and sunlight will prematurely age the unit. It should also be
mounted in a position where it is away from accidental water spray. The power pack
should be installed so that adequate airflow can circulate freely around the unit to
allow for sufficient ventilation.
4.3 The power pack comes with a standard 230V 10A power cable that is to be connected to
mains power. Plug the power cable into a suitable weatherproof outlet.
4.4 The power pack is fitted with a 230V 10A power socket located on the right-hand
underside of the power pack. The pool pump should be plugged into this socket so that
the chlorinator and pump activate together when the timer switches on at the allocated
time settings. In a model without a timer, the pump and chlorinator are controlled by
the on/off switch (7 in Fig. 3). Failure to plug the pool pump into this socket could lead
to the chlorinator staying on with no water circulation. Without circulation, and in the
event of a water probe failure, overheating and a possible gas build-up may occur. This
build-up may damage the cell housing.
4.5 The electrolytic cell cable is connected to the power pack at the junction box on the
underside of the unit. With power off, remove the protective cover from the junction
box and insert the cell cable wires to the terminals, with the thin wire connecting to the
middle position. The screws must be firmly tightened so there is solid contact between
the wires and the terminals. Replace the protective cover back over the junction box.

5.0 OPERATION
5.1 The control interface on the power pack consists of the following:

Fig. 3
1. Chlorine Output LEDs
The output lights follow the curve of the Evolution logo. If the correct salinity level is
maintained in the water, all ten lights will illuminate at full output (100%). Each light
represents 10% chlorine output. If all lights are not illuminated, then a higher salinity
level will be required, this is achieved by determining the current salinity levels and
adding salt accordingly. Make sure all salt is dissolved correctly before adding more.
The Chlorine Control dial (2 in Fig. 3) will increase or decrease the chlorine output to
suit the chlorine requirements. If all of the indicator lights flash, then there is a water
flow fault.
2. Chlorine Control
The Chlorine Control dial determines the amount of chlorine production. By simply
turning the control clockwise, chlorine output is increased, and by turning the control
anti-clockwise, chlorine output is decreased. Do not force the control past its stop, as
this will damage the unit and void warranty.
3. High Salt Light
This light is a red warning indicator and will illuminate when the salt level in the
swimming pool is higher than 4500ppm. If this light is on, together with the ten output
LED’s (1 in Fig. 3), decrease the output by turning the Chlorine Control dial (2 in Fig. 3)
anti-clockwise until the high salt (red light) goes off and all ten Chlorine Output LEDs
remain on. If the High Salt Light is the only light illuminated, the unit has gone into the
over-temperature cutout and will reset once back to normal running temperature.
4. Polarity Light
The Polarity Light is the first indicator light, 10% in the chlorine output array (1 in Fig.3).
This light will alternate between orange and green every reversing cycle (4-12 hours).
The factory setting is a 12-hour cycle.
5
5. Timer
The time switch is a 24-hour timer for controlling the chlorinator and associated
circulation pump on/off times.
Setting the Timer
To set the time, turn the minute hand clockwise until the time of day is set on the Inner
Dial. For example, to adjust the time to 8:00pm, adjust the Timer as per Fig 4. The Outer
Dial has 24-hour markings with 15-minute increments to match the Inner Dial time at
the Activation Point.
It is important to ensure that if the time is set to 8.00pm, the Activation Point on the
Outer Dial will align with 20, not 8, which would be 8.00am.
Program the Timer by pushing the captive trippers to the outer position for the entire
period that the chlorinator and pump are to be turned “ON”. Each tripper corresponds
to 15 minutes on the 24-hour dial. When the tripper is pushed inwards, the Timer is in
the “OFF” position.

6. Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker mounted on the front right-hand side of the Evochlor Chlorinator is
designed to trip out in the event of a power surge or overload. When tripped, the yellow
centre button will pop out, shutting down the unit. To reset, press the yellow centre
button back in to resume normal function.
Note: Turn off the chlorinator at the power point before attempting to reset the
circuit breaker. Should the circuit breaker continue to trip, then a local Evolution
distributor should be contacted.
7. Switch
This switch allows you to choose the timer operation mode for the chlorinator and pool
pump. The Timer selection to the left enables the chlorinator and pool pump to turn
on and off at the designated timer settings. The Manual selection to the right allows
the chlorinator and pump to work continuously until the switch setting is physically
changed. The Off position in the middle will turn power off to the chlorinator and
circulation pump.

6.0 MAINTENANCE
6.1 It is recommended that a pool water sample is taken to a pool shop and tested once per
month for analysis. Please refer to Section 2.0 for additional information.
6.2 The electrolytic cell operates most efficiently when it is clean. As a natural result of the
electrolytic process, which creates chlorine from salt molecules, calcium is attracted to
the titanium plates in the cell. The self-cleaning feature helps to inhibit such build-up
and scaling. However, the attraction of calcium and other minerals is inevitable, and
eventually, it must be removed.
6.3 The transparent housing of the cell allows easy visual inspections, and with correct
water chemistry, the cell will only need cleaning approximately every 3-6 months. In
regions with hard water (high calcium levels), more frequent cleaning may be required.
6.4 To clean the cell follow these instructions:
1. Turn off power to the chlorinator and pump.
2. Remove the cell from the cell housing by loosening the cell collar and pulling the
cell out of the housing. If required, disconnect the cell cable wires at the junction box
underneath the power pack (these must be reconnected firmly and tightly).
3. With the cell removed, use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose
scale as possible. Do not use any sharp or metallic objects to remove scale, as this will
damage the cell.
4. If further cleaning is required, the cell needs to be cleaned in a mixture of 1 part
Hydrochloric Acid to 10 parts water. Mix the acid solution in a bucket or tube that will
fit the cell.
5. iWARNING: Chemical Hazard - When mixing acid with water, always add the acid
to the water, never add water to the acid. When using the acid, ensure to use rubber
gloves and appropriate eye protection and follow safety directions on the Hydrochloric
Acid label.
6. Place the cell into the cleaning solution submerging the plates and ensuring that the
cell head (Section 3.0 Fig. 2) does not contact the acid solution. Once the cell is clean,
remove it from the cleaning solution and rinse. Replace the cell into the housing in the
reverse manner to the steps above.
6.5 Only qualified electrical technicians should service the power pack. For the nearest
Evolution recommended service technician, please contact Evolution Water & Lighting
