Saltmate Digital Time Clock c/w Battery Back-up

Saltmate Digital Time Clock c/w Battery Back-up

Genuine Saltmate digital time clock with battery back-up, part number SM0134. This is the replacement digital timeclock module fitted to Saltmate chlorinator powerpacks, switching the pool pump and the chlorinator together on a 24-hour cycle. The battery back-up retains programmed settings through a power outage, so the unit does not need reprogramming after every blackout.

• Physically Stocked, unlike most "drop-shipping" websites.
• Shipped from VIC, NSW, WA, QLD

Compatibility List

This part fits the following Saltmate models:

• Saltmate SMT Standard range - SMT90, SMT120, SMT150 and SMT200 powerpacks fitted with the digital battery-backup timeclock
• Saltmate RP Auto-Clean range - RP20, RP30 and RP40 powerpacks fitted with the digital battery-backup timeclock

Not Confirmed

• Early non-digital powerpacks - some older Saltmate units were built with a different timeclock arrangement. If your existing clock is not a digital display with battery back-up, send us a photo before ordering

Does NOT Fit

• Any non-Saltmate chlorinator - this is a Saltmate-specific module, not a generic pool timer
• Standalone pool pump timers - this module fits inside the chlorinator powerpack and is not a wall-mounted timer

How to Identify Your Board

1. Photograph the existing timeclock face and the powerpack label. Saltmate has used more than one display style across the production run.
2. Check the clock is a digital display with battery back-up. If yours is an analogue or pin-style clock, this is not the correct replacement.
3. Compare the module and mounting cut-out against the product photos. Send us the photos if anything looks different and we will confirm before you buy.

What the Battery Back-up Does

The back-up battery holds the programmed on and off times when mains power is lost. Without it, every outage resets the clock and the pool runs to the wrong schedule - which is the most common reason a pool that was chlorinating fine suddenly is not. A timeclock that loses its settings after every blackout usually means the back-up battery or the module has reached end of life.

Before You Order

• Read the model badge on your Saltmate powerpack and match it to the list above
• Compare your existing part against the product photos
• Confirm the fault has been correctly diagnosed - salt level and cell condition should be checked first
• If anything does not match, send us photos of the powerpack, the model label and the existing part and we will confirm it before you buy

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 does the battery back-up do?
It retains the programmed on and off times through a power outage, so the timeclock does not need reprogramming after a blackout.

Does this suit both the SMT and RP ranges?
Yes, it is the digital timeclock module used across Saltmate chlorinator powerpacks. Confirm the display style against your existing unit before ordering, as more than one style has been used.

Does it control the pump as well as the chlorinator?
Yes. The Saltmate timeclock switches the pool pump and the chlorinator together on a 24-hour cycle.

My clock resets every time the power goes out - is this the fix?
Usually yes. That symptom points to the back-up battery or the timeclock module having reached end of life.

Can I fit this myself?
Timeclock replacement inside a mains-powered chlorinator should be carried out by a licensed electrician or qualified service technician.
