The 5000 ppm Rule (rev. SALT-1.0)

Salt level is what determines how long a Saltmate cell lasts. Before you replace a cell or a powerpack, work through this:

1. Test the salt level before adjusting anything. Take a water sample to a pool shop or use a reliable salt test. Saltmate's ideal operating range is 5000-6000 ppm.
2. Never run below 4000 ppm. Running a Saltmate chlorinator with less than 4000 ppm of salt in the pool will destroy the electrolytic cell. Low salt is the single most common cause of premature cell failure and is not covered as a manufacturing fault.
3. Top up salt before increasing the output dial. If chlorine production has dropped, check salt level and cell condition first. Winding the output up on a low-salt pool accelerates cell damage rather than fixing it.
4. Re-test after heavy rain, backwashing or topping up. Dilution drops salt concentration. Re-test seasonally and after any significant water change, and do not neglect testing through winter.

What's Included

• 1 x Saltmate RP20 powerpack with digital timeclock and battery backup

Replacement Cell for This Model

The electrolytic cell is a consumable and will need replacing periodically. The replacement cell for this unit is the Saltmate RP20 Replacement Cell - search our site for "Saltmate RP20 Replacement Cell" rather than replacing the whole chlorinator.

Warranty

Saltmate chlorinators are covered by the manufacturer's express warranty: 2 years full warranty on the powerpack and electrolytic cell, followed by a further 3 years pro rata warranty on the electrolytic cell. Warranty is provided by Saltmate Australia Pty Ltd. Cell damage caused by running below 4000 ppm salt, incorrect installation or chemical imbalance is not a manufacturing fault.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pool does the Saltmate RP20 suit?
Up to 120,000 litres, producing 33g/hr of chlorine.

Is the RP20 self-cleaning?
Yes. It uses a reverse-polarity self-cleaning cell, which reduces how often you need to manually clean calcium off the plates.

What salt level does it need?
The ideal range is 5000-6000 ppm. Never run it below 4000 ppm - doing so will destroy the electrolytic cell.

Will it work with mineral salts?
Yes. Saltmate chlorinators are compatible with both traditional pool salt and mineral salt blends.

What pipe size does it plumb into?
The cell housing suits 40mm and 50mm pressure PVC pipe.

Do I need an electrician to install it?
The chlorinator plugs into a suitable outlet, but any hard wiring or new circuit work must be done by a licensed electrician. Plumbing should be done by a competent person.
