3. Description
3.1. The principles of electrolysis
Salt water electrolysis separates salt (NaCl) into sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). The chlorine is im-
mediately dissolved in the water to produce hypochlorous acid (HClO). This powerful disinfectant
destroys bacteria and algae before turning back into salt.

The quantity of chlorine needed to disinfect a swimming pool increases with the water temperature
and pH.

Chlorine production must be adjusted to the environment and water characteristics:

• water conductivity

3
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

• water temperature
• the volume of the pool to be treated
• water pH

For the installation’s safety, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO only produces chlorine
when the flow meter indicates that water is actually flowing through the cell.

During these filtering periods, the chlorine production time is composed of two-period cycles (Nor-
mal and Reverse) that alternate electrode polarity. This polarity reversal makes it possible to prevent
the electrodes from scaling.

Thus, the production cycle is split into 4 phases:

1. Phase 1, normal production (positive)

2. Phase 2, standby
3. Phase 3, reverse mode production (negative)
4. Phase 4, standby

At the end of the filtering period, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO stops producing and restarts it
exactly where it left off when filtering restarts.
The main benefit of this choice of operating mode is to always guarantee (even if there is a power
failure) that normal and reverse production times are strictly identical and, as a result, guarantee the
best cell descaling possible (giving quality production and long equipment service life).

3.2. Production according to the water temperature (AUTO

mode)
As the water temperature varies during the season, production times must be adjusted. This temper-
ature regulated production is carried out automatically by the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO in AUTO
production mode. It is calculated depending on the selected production curve (3 possible curves).
Production time calculated depending on the selected curve:

< 16°C 18°C 20°C 22°C 24°C 26°C 28°C 30°C

4. Installation
4.1. Hydraulic installation
The different elements to fit to the pool piping are: the electrolysis cell (C), the flow detector (B)
(which is fitted upstream of the cell but on the same piping section) and the earthing device (D).

The cell (C), which is the essential part of the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO, must be handled with
care. It is fitted with solid titanium electrode plates treated with ruthenium oxide and is specially
designed for a maximum service life and to limit maintenance operations. The temperature sensor
is built into the cell and uses the same connector.

The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO cell should be installed on 50mm diameter piping, using the supplied
union connectors. It should be installed downstream of the filtering system (after the filter) and
can be placed either horizontally or vertically. The flow detector must be positioned vertically on
a horizontal pipe.

Prefer using a by-pass (mandatory in excess of 22m3/hour) so that the flow through the cell can be
controlled without stopping filtering.

pH regulation embedded (EZ-DUO)

The pH corrector product injector (F) can be positioned on the pipe using supplied clamp saddle. It
can also be placed directly in the electrolysis cell. In this case, it will be necessary to drill the cell in
the center of the 1/2 '' thread and insert an 18/12 thickness 2 seal (MPCS0215) under the injector.

5
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

Place the pH sensor of the Earth Pool as close as possible. In the event of a parasitic current in the
swimming pool, use a Zelia Pod to mount the sensor and the injector. This will result in protect the
sensor from parasitic currents and make the measurement more reliable.

The flow detector must be placed either just before or just after the cell on the
same branch: there must not be any derivation, valve or anything else between
the two!

Take care to correctly position all the cell elements!

4.1.1. Water flow detector

The flow detector is delivered with the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO.It prevents the electrolysis unit
from running if there is no flow, or during a backwash. It is used to prevent all risks of hydrogen

6
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

accumulating or excess heating and thereby makes the system safer. Before each restart (after win-
tering), make sure that the flow switch is still perfectly functional by performing several ON / OFF
on the filtration circuit and checking that the flow is detected by the box.

1. Install the fixing collar on the piping after having previously drilled it.
2. Screw the male / male ¾" nipple into the fixing collar. (use Teflon tape to make sure it is
watertight)
3. Screw on the flow detector (use Teflon tape to make sure it is watertight). Do not over-tighten
the detector.

Take special care over the water flow direction so that the device
correctly detects the flow. For the flow detector to be correctly
positioned, the arrow engraved on it must point in the direction
the water flows.

4.1.2. Earth electrode

The Pool-Terre device shipped with the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO is used to drain the water's elec-
trostatic charge to the earth. When this system is connected to a "proper earth" (the connection must
be direct to a local earth electrode), it eliminates leakage current and limits the reduction-oxidation
phenomena that cause corrosion.

1. Install the support collar as close as possible to the pH sensor (if Limpido EZ DUO) after
having drilled it, downstream from the heating or electrolysis devices.
2. Screw the electrode into the fixing collar. (use Teflon tape to make sure it is watertight)
3. Connect the Pool-Terre directly to the earth electrode using a correctly sized green and yellow
wire. (minimum 4mm²)

4.2. Connection to electricity

Installation of this project involves a hazard of electric shocks. We strongly

recommend you contract a professional installer. Incorrect installation places

7
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

you in danger and may irreversibly damage the product and the equipment
connected to it.

For safety reasons and in compliance with the NF C15-100 standards, the
Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO box must be installed

• either at 3.50 m from the pool edge. This distance takes into account the dis-
tance around obstacles. If the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO box is installed behind
a wall, the distance will include the length of the path taken to move around
the wall to reach the box.
• or in an in-ground space immediately next to the swimming pool. In this case
the space must be accessible via a hatch which requires a tool to open it.
• The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO must have a 230V single phased 50Hz power
supply protected by a 30mA ground fault protection, which supplies suffi-
cient intensity. There must also be a short-circuit protection (max. 16A) on
the control box power supply line. The power supply cable size must be suit-
able and adapted to the total length and the elements connected to the Limpi-
do EZ & EZ-DUO .

The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO power supply box

• must not be directly installed outdoors, it must be sheltered from rain, cleaning or watering spray,
and UVs (sunlight).
• is spray resistant but must not be installed in a floodable area.
• must be fitted on a level and stable support and fixed to the wall using the supplied anchors and
screws.

The power supply must be permanent and should never be coupled to the pool
filter pump.

4.2.1. Cell connection

Connect the cell to the side connector and lock it in place using the metal staple supplied with the
accessories.

4.2.2. In-product connection (filtration + RedOx control)

A. Filtration pump forced mode (on AB connector in CCEI panel or directly on clock contact)
B. RedOx analyzer control (Dry contact). Remove the bridge and connect to the get out contact of
the RedOx analyzer. This contact must be a dry contact.

8
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

4.2.2.1. Forced filtration mode

In regulation according to the water temperature mode, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO calculates
the necessary production depending on the measured water temperature, but as the device can only
produce when filtration is running, it may sometimes be necessary to force the filtration to run.
When the remaining time to complete a 24 hour period drops below the calculated daily production
time, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO actuates a contact used to force filtration to run. This contact
must be connected to the "Forced filtration" terminal block on the filtration electric control box
(Terminal A-B on CCEI electric boxes) or on the filtration clock contact.

4.2.2.2. Electrolysis coupling contact

The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO can be connected to a programmer or a regulator to control produc-
tion. More especially, it can be connected to a RedOx or chlorine measuring device. The measuring
device must close the dry contact (potential-free) when the RedOx potential or chlorine level is
lower than the set value.
The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO is especially adapted to running with an OXEO SP or PRO XP.
Please refer to the instructions for this device for operation with the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO. It is
recommended to use the permanent mode for this type of operation.
The control must be done with a dry contact IMPERATIVELY!

4.2.3. Cover contact

For pools with an automatic cover, the quantity of chlorine produced must be lowered when the
pool is covered. Indeed, in this situation the water is sheltered from UVs and most pollutants, so
the amount of chlorine required is significantly less. Most covers are fitted with a travel switch to
which the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO can be connected to adjust its production.

9
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

This contact must be open when the cover is open, and closed when the cover is over the pool.

The cover contact must imperatively be a dry contact with no electric potential.
No other wires (coupling for other devices, etc.) must be connected at the same
location. A connection error can seriously damage the device and will void the
guarantee.

This input must be connected to the dry limit switch of the swimming pool cover. This contact must
be dry, ie free of potential and close when the cover is closed. Thanks to this contact, Limpido EZ &
EZ-DUO is informed when the cover is closed and can therefore adapt its production. An important
part of chlorine consumption is related to exposure to the sun's UV rays and to frequentation. When
the pool is covered, the need for chlorine is therefore greatly reduced. AUTO (Production according
to the water temperature) Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO divides chlorine production by 4. For example,
in curve 2, at 22°C, the daily production time is reduced from 8 hours to 2 hours if the shutter is
maintained.

Use the cable passage at the back of the control box and connect the two contact wires directly to
the module (see photo below).

4.2.4. Flow switch

Connect the flow switch to the connector placed under the box.

4.2.5. pH probe (Limpido EZ-DUO)

Connect the probe with BNC placed under the panel.

5. Start up

The device settings can only be adapted through regular analysis.

Following the steps described below carefully makes it possible to start up with-
out experiencing any issues.

10
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

The chemicals used in pools are highly corrosive and can have a harmful effect
on health and the environment.
These products must be handled with care and stored in a suitable location.

5.1. Stabiliser
At room temperature chlorine is a gas. Its solid form (tabs, pellets, etc.) is obtained by combination
with a molecule of cyanuric acid. This cyanuric acid is a stabiliser because it protects the chlorine
from breaking down under the action of ultraviolets (UVs) from the sun. On the other hand, the
cyanuric acid is not used and inevitably accumulates in pools treated using chlorine tabs and ends up
by inhibiting the chlorine's potential. For swimming pools, the maximum recommended cyanuric
acid concentration is 80 ppm (or mg/l).
Salt electrolysis treatment avoids cyanuric acid overdosing, however it can sometimes be useful to
add between 25 and 50 ppm (or mg/l) of stabiliser when the pool is highly exposed to sunlight and
chlorine concentration is not high enough.
Indeed, in very sunny weather, 90% of free chlorine is destroyed within two to three hours if there
is no cyanuric acid, whereas this level drops to 15% with 30 ppm of stabiliser (cyanuric acid).

5.2. Salt level check

The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO is designed to operate at a water conductivity level corresponding to
a saline level included between 2.5g/l and 5g/l at 25°C.
To accurately check your pool water's salt level, we recommend using a conductivity meter. This
easy-to-use instrument gives a direct salt level reading in g/l. Analysis strips are also available to
effectively check your water's salt level.
When the salt level is not appropriate, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO stops production if the salt level
is too high or too low. If one of these faults is displayed, first check that the cell is properly connected
to the control box and that it is in working condition (no scale deposits). Then make the required
corrections to the pool water.
Water's conductivity is proportional to its salinity, but also depends on the temperature for 2.2%
per degree Celsius.

Salinity (in g/l) 10°C 15°C 20°C 25°C 30°C 35°C 40°C
Min 2.8 2.5 2.2 2.0 1.8 1.6 1.4
Ideal 4.2 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.4 2.1
Max 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.6 3.2 2.9

At 35°C the maximum salt level is therefore changed from 4g/l to 3.2g/l.

5.3. TAS / TH check

It is recommended when installing to ask a specialist to test the pool water's TAS (Total Alkaline
strength) and/or TH (Total Hardness). These two measurements are usually quite close and are most

11
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

often expressed in French degrees (°F). If the TAS and TH are different, use the mean value of the
two measurements. It is important to highlight that very soft water (TH <10°F) has the advantage
of preventing scale deposits but can also be aggressive depending on the pH and TAS.

At the other end of the scale, very hard water (TH>35°F) will cause scale deposits on the installation.
It is therefore recommended to correct the TAS and TH using the appropriate chemicals. Contact
your pool builder for more details.

5.4. pH checks
pH, or potential Hydrogen, measures the acidity of the water. Its value is between 0 and 14. A
solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. If the pH is below 7 the solution is acid, and if it is above 7 it is
basic (or alkaline). For the comfort of bathers, effective treatment and reliability of the installation,
the swimming pool water's pH must be kept at about 7.2. However, as the ideal pH for a pool
depends on all the elements used (coating, materials, etc.) in the pool, please check the pool builder's
recommendations. When the pH goes up from 7.2 to 8.2, the percentage of active chlorine passes
from 70% to 20%.

For more effective treatment it is essential to keep the water's pH within the range of ideal values
defined by your pool builder (see manuals).

6. Operation
6.1. Powering on
There is a switch on the control box to power on the electrolysis device. When the device is powered
on, the switch lights.

12
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

6.2. Control interface

The interface consists of several elements:

• a power supply button (discussed previously)

• the polarity view indicators
• a flow detection indicator
• 1 button to initiate heat regulation (with a indicator lamp)
• 1 indicator to view the pool cover position

13
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

Element Description
Indicator lamp "Polarity indicator +" / When on indicates positive polarity

"Polarity indicator -" / When on indicates negative polarity

If the indicators flash alternately, this indicates a pause between 2 polarity

reversals

Indicator lamp "Flow detected"

If the indicator is on, flow has been detected. If the indicator flashes, no
flow has been detected.

"Production level"
The curve indicates the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO production level and can
be used to check the device is running correctly. The production level is
shown by the green and orange indicators (red indicators described be-
low).
Indicator lamps
• If no green indicators are on (and only 1 orange), the salt level or cell
scaling must be checked before the red indicator at the bottom of the
curve turns on and halts production.
• To indicate the optimum production level, theLimpido EZ & EZ-DUO
turns on the orange indicator at the bottom and the 1, 2 or 3 indicators
over it.
• If the second orange indicator lights, check the salt level. Otherwise the
"TOO MUCH SALT" indicator will turn on later and halt production.

The Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO is fitted with a protection system that auto-
matically halts production whenever a fault (see below) is detected.
"Excess production / too much salt"
This alarm is usually caused by too high levels of salt in the pool or an
increase in the water temperature. To prevent excess current from damag-
ing the cell and the control relays, the device halts production whenever
this situation is detected. Excess production most often occurs when salt
is added to the pool.
Indicator lamp After salt has been added, the device should be stopped until all the salt
has dissolved (24 to 48 hours).

If the fault persists, check the salt levels; if they are higher than 4g/l, the
pool should be emptied of some of its water and replaced with new water
until a salt level of less than 3g/l is achieved.

To reset an excess production fault, the device must be stopped and

then restarted.

14
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

Element Description
"Insufficient production / not enough salt"
To avoid damaging the cell's plates when running with insufficient salt,
the device has a detection system that stops the treatment as soon as salt
levels are too low. Salt should then be added and production only re-
launched once it has completely dissolved.
Indicator lamp
Check the salt level, if the level is less than 1.5g/l (1500 ppm), then salt
needs to be added and production only restarted once it has completely
dissolved (24 to 48 hours). If the salt level is correct, this indicates that
the cell has scale deposits or is worn. In this case, check the plates by
dismantling the cell and descaling it.
"Production mode selection"

Indicator and key The key is used to select the electrolysis unit's operating mode.

• Indicator off = SHOCK / PERMANENT mode. The device will pro-

duce whenever filtration is running
• Indicator on = AUTO / Heat regulated mode. Production time is ad-
justed depending on the water temperature. Depending on the pool size
and its use, there are 3 heat regulation curves available (see below).
"Automatic cover"

Indicator lamp If the Limpido EZ is connected to an automatic cover, this indicator lights
when the cover is in the closed position. This causes a significant drop
in chlorine requirements. In heat regulated mode, the Limpido EZ &
EZ-DUO reduces chlorine production to one quarter if the cover is kept
closed.

15
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

6.3. Use
The system is switched on using the luminous switch on the front. After powering on, all the light
indicators on the control box turn on one after the other. Once it is started up, the device will detect
the connected cell automatically.

For increased comfort, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO adapts chlorine production depending on the
measured current. Production can be adapted depending on the different authorised modes and other
elements. .

6.3.1. Regulation according to the water temperature curve selection

In automatic mode, keeping the key pressed for 3 seconds allows you to change the activated

regulation according to the water temperature curve. The indicator for the activated curve flashes,
to change it, press the key briefly to switch to the next curve.

Once the required curve has been selected, save it by pressing the key for 3 seconds. The

Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO will automatically recalculate the optimum production time (in hours per
day using the table below) and will start a new cycle.

< 16°C 18°C 20°C 22°C 24°C 26°C 28°C 30°C

Curve 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Curve 2 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16
Curve 3 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24

In automatic mode (regulation according to the water temperature), if the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO
has not been able to produce all the necessary time calculated according to the temperature, the
device signals the under-production by 3 rapid flashes. It is then advisable to increase the daily
duration filtration according to the production hours. Following the increase in the number hour of
production (via filtration clock), the flow indicator may indicate a lack of production for another 24
hours before integrating the information.

16
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

6.4. Low temperature

In AUTO mode, the device halts production when the temperature drops below 10°C. The heat
regulated indicator then turns on intermittently (slow flashes). When the temperature rises back over
12°C, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO restarts treatment automatically.

If the device detects a temperature measurement fault, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO switches to
permanent/shock mode and the according to the water temperature regulation indicator flashes con-
tinuously by 3 rapid flashes.

6.5. Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO status

When the daily filtration time is too low to allow sufficient production (AUTO mode), the product
activates a contact to force the filtration pump to run (See Filtration pump forced mode). This state is
indicated by the rapid flashing of the flow indicator lamp. If the contact is not connected, the pump
will not be activated and this signal will only be indicative. It It is therefore advisable to increase
the filtration time. Following the increase in the time of filtration, the flow indicator can indicate a
lack of production for another 24 hours before the information is integrated.

7. pH regulation (EZ-DUO)
7.1. pH sensor
The sensor is used to measure. Its electrodes supply weak electric voltage. These elements are fragile
and sensitive to disturbances. They should therefore be handled with the greatest care.
The sensor is shipped with a cap filled with electrolyte solution to protect it. Remove this cap before
installing the sensor and keep it for possible later storage of the sensor (for wintering for example)
Never leave the sensor outdoors.
The sensor must be installed on the discharge piping using a 50 mm diameter fixing collar with a
½" threading and a sensor holder.
The sensor is installed on the cell using a ½" sensor holder.

The sensor must be placed downstream of the filter and upstream of the cell.

This sensor's responses tend to fade over time and its response times increase. This is why it is
important to calibrate it regularly to prevent measurement errors. This sensor is a fragile compo-
nent that requires care and maintenance. The sensor head should especially be kept permanently
immersed. Never use distilled or demineralised water.

7.2. PH injection
The acid (pH-) or base (pH+) product injector is placed just before the discharge into the pool. The
intake strainer is placed in the pH corrector product container. The pH corrector product injector (F)
can be positioned on the pipe using the clamp saddle supplied. It can also be placed directly in the
electrolysis cell. In this case, it will be necessary to drill the cell in the center of the 1/2 '' threading
and insert an 18/12 gasket of thickness 2 (MPCS0215) under the injector.

18
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

For Teflon mounting, take care not to overtighten, as this may crack the cell.

The chemicals used in pools are highly corrosive and can have a harmful effect
on health and the environment.

These products must be handled with care and stored in a suitable location.

7.3. Operation of the pH section

Status of the measure
Indicator lamp
If the left indicator lamp is on, it means that the measured value is lower
than the setpoint. If the mode is pH-, the pump does not touch. If the
mode is pH +, the pump will inject corrector until the selected setpoint
is reached.

Element Description
The central indicator lamp indicates that the measured pH is the same as
the setpoint. The pump does not run in this case.

If the right indicator lamp is on, it means that the measured value is greater
than the setpoint. If the mode is pH +, the pump does not touch. If the
mode is pH-, the pump will inject corrector until reaching the selected
setpoint.

WARNING : the pH pump does not run continuously when there is a need
for regulation. To give the product time to dilute in the pool, the pump
runs for 1 minute then stops for 1 minute before starting again if the pH
measurement reasons it.

WARNING : if the "Left" and "Right" liamps are on at the same time,
it means that the measurement is greater than 9.5 or less than 4.5. It is
therefore necessary to check that the probe is correctly connected to the
box, or that the pipe is well filled with water; or possibly check if the
measurement is restored by measuring the pH in a glass of water.
Warning lamp
Indicator lamps If the pH corrector injection has remained ineffective after 2 hours of op-
eration, the pump is stopped until the next filtration cycle and the indica-
tor lamp comes on to indicate to check the system. In this case, it is par-
ticularly necessary to check the reliability of the pH measurement and to
check the level of the pH corrector liquid..

Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO is equipped with a protection device which stops

production automatically as soon as a fault (see below) is detected.
Calibration and choice of setpoint
Before proceeding with the calibration, it is advisable to stop the filtration,
to remove the probe from the probe holder then to clean it and finally to
plug the probe holder with a 5ct coin.
Calibration of the pH probe

1. Immerse the probe in the supplied calibration solution

2. Wait at least 1 minute for the stable measurement
3. Press the selection key for more than 2 seconds. The pH 7.0 indicator
lamp then starts flashing as well as the central indicator if the calibra-
tion is correct or the 2 pH High / Low indicator lamps in the event of
an error (then check the probe or the calibration solution)
4. Press the selection key to validate the calibration
5. Put back the probe in the pool pipe

Then use the selection key to choose the setpoint.

Element Description
It is necessary to check the calibration regularly (once a month) and to
renew the calibration solution each season..

8. Maintenance
8.1. Adding salt
When the salt level drops below 2g/l, salt must be added.

The use of specially treated salt containing stabilisers for pools is recommended. The effectiveness
of the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO will be significantly improved.

We recommend checking the salt levels at the start of the season and returning them to 3g/l. De-
pending on the measured salt level, the salt quantities to add are the following:

Measured
level / Pool 40m3 50m3 60m3 70m3 80m3 90m3
volume
1.5 g/l 60 75 90 105 120 135
2 g/l 40 50 60 70 80 90
2.5 g/l 20 25 30 35 40 45

Weight of salt to add in kg to reach 3g/l:For example, if the measured salt level is 1.5g/l 60 kg of
salt should be added to arrive at a level of 3g/l in a 40m3 pool

8.2. Wintering
In winter, weather conditions permitting, the treatment can be kept running while significantly low-
ering its frequency. An 8 hour filtering cycle every 15 days is usually enough. It is imperative, how-
ever, to carry on monitoring the salt levels to protect the cell from the consequences of running in
water that is not salted enough (<2 g/l).

If a cover is used, the chlorine is protected from UVs and the chlorine needs drop. Chlorine produc-
tion must be reduced by reducing filtration time for example. In Automatic mode, when the cover
contact is connected, the Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO reduces production automatically.

8.3. Sensor maintenance

When a sensor is immersed in water, a film forms around the glass bulb at its tip and gets thicker
over time. This invisible film causes response times to lengthen, deteriorates the slope and deviates
from point 0. It is easy to compensate for changes to point zero by regularly recalibrating. Increased
temperatures are also a major ageing factor.

Sensor protection:

21
Technical information Limpido EZ & EZ-DUO v2.0EN
sheet

Never store the sensors in distilled water. Sensors that have been stored wet can be reused immedi-
ately. Sensors stored "dry" require several hours of rehydrating but "age" less.

As a result, we recommend:

• long term "dry" storage

• short term storage in a KCl 3M solution or, failing this, in tap water.

Sensor regeneration:

Sensor service life can be extended by regular regeneration. To regenerate a sensor, leave it to soak
in a solution of diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl 0,1M). To obtain this type of solution, add a few (8
to 10) drops of hydrochloric acid (HCl at 37%) to half a glass (5cl) of tap water.

When is regeneration possible?

• when the slope is too weak (often due to a polluted or clogged junction)
• when the response time is too long
• when point 0 has shifted. There can be several causes of a point 0 shift:
– the electrolyte may have been polluted by liquid entering the sensor
– polluted junction
– sensor used in an installation with leakage currents caused by a bad earth electrode (In this
case regeneration is pointless)

Calibration:

Each sensor is characterised by its deviation and slope. These two points of measurement must be
defined using calibration solutions and sent to the connected instrument. As these characteristics
tend to drift with use, calibration must be carried out regularly. Calibration is mandatory in the
following cases:

• when installing
• after replacing the sensor
• after every cleaning using a cleaning solution
• after long term storage
• when the measurement results are too far from the expected results.

8.4. Cell cleaning

When the indicated production remains low despite a correct salt level, check the cell condition and
clean it if any scale is visible on the plates.

This operation must be carried out with the greatest care, and it is essential to
follow the instructions for the use of the acid.

The cell connector is not immersible. Do not plunge the cell into a bucket of
water!

Cleaning procedure

• Uninstall the cell from the pipe

• Close the cell with a cap (PFXCEL99 or type GLX-CellStand)
• Fill the cell from the other end. CAUTION: use water with dilute acid (10% HCl)
• Stop the filling at the top of the titanium plates (in red in the photo). And avoid any overflow
that could reach the connector
• Leave it on for a few hours if necessary.

To clean it, close one end using a cap and fill it with diluted acid (HCl at 10%) from the other end.
Leave the acid to act for several hours.

Never pour water into the acid!

Always pour the acid into the water

"Water into acid, stupid

acid into water, much smarter!
