Electrolytic Cell Controller

The electrolytic cell controller includes a control panel with buttons and LED indicators to fully control and produce chlorine. The cell controller measures the water temperature and salt level to optimally produce chlorine. If the salt level is too low (red on salt display), the cell is turned off until salt is added to the pool. The controller has a self-cleaning cycle which reverses the cell polarity, reducing calcium buildup. This feature turns the cell on and off at regular intervals to prevent calcium and scale buildup and further maximizes cell life.

The electrolytic cell contains the control electronics and bipolar electrodes that perform the electrolysis and produce chlorine when energized with DC current. Chlorine is generated as pool water containing salt passes through the cell. The chlorine production can be varied by either adjusting the sanitizer output level on the cell or by varying the number of hours IntelliChlor is on each day. IntelliChlor automatically cleans the Cell electrodes once every few hours. This does not interrupt the production of Chlorine. The cell also contains a mechanical flow sensor to ensure the proper amount of water is passing through the cell to allow chlorination to occur. The cell automatically measures the water salinity and temperature and displays on the top of the cell using lights. The cell includes a 15 ft. UL approved four conductor 16 gauge cable for connection to the Power Center.

Flow Sensor: A cell flow sensor assures that there will always be adequate water flow through the cell no matter how it is plumbed.

Temperature Sensor: To protect the unit from operation and potential damage, when the temperature of the water falls below 52° F, the temperature sensor switches the unit off.

Salt Sensor: Two salt sensor probes extend into the cell chamber and are activated upon start up of the system and/or every eight hours of running. Upon start-up, the salt sensor flashes for two minutes to indicate it is in analysis mode, then determines the salt level and displays it.
