Waterco Electrochlor PRO Salt Chlorinator for Large Pools

At a Glance

The Waterco Electrochlor PRO is the large pool salt chlorinator in the Electrochlor range, in 4000 (40 g/hr) and 5000 (50 g/hr) sizes for pools up to 120,000 and 140,000 litres in a temperate climate. Waterco's website calls it the Electrochlor Mineral PRO.

Ideal for

• Very large domestic pools
• Light commercial and body corporate pools
• Hot, heavily used pools where a 3000 runs out of capacity
• Pools with a Waterco variable speed pump

Key Specs

• Electrochlor PRO 4000: 40 g/hr chlorine, pools up to 120,000 litres in a temperate climate (84,000 litres tropical), 206 W, 8.5A DC output
• Electrochlor PRO 5000: 50 g/hr chlorine, pools up to 140,000 litres in a temperate climate (96,000 litres tropical), 239 W, 9.1A DC output
• Power: 170 to 264V, 47 to 64 Hz input, 10A maximum total current, 8A maximum for the pump outlet, 21V cell voltage, IP23
• Salinity range: 4,000 ppm minimum, 5,500 ppm optimum, 6,000 ppm maximum
• Salt: runs on ordinary pool salt, or Waterco Mineral Crystals. Waterco's rule of thumb is about 1 kg of salt per 1,000 litres to lift the level by 1,000 ppm, so 420 kg takes a 70,000 litre pool from nothing to 6,000 ppm. Use pure pool salt with no additives
• Control: backlit LCD with temperature display, variable speed pump and LED light control, dual timer controlled power outlets, optional valve actuator control
• Power pack: energy saving intelligent power pack, low salt alarm and flow protection, self cleaning cell
• Cell: clear UV stabilised acrylic housing with titanium electrodes, 13 plates

Why We Like It

Choose the PRO when the pool is big enough that a 3000 would be working flat out all day. It has the same display, timers and pump control as the rest of the Electrochlor family, scaled up for output. For a normal domestic pool it is more than you need, and the ECO or Plus will do the job for less.

Installation

The cell plumbs into the pool return line and the power pack mounts on a wall near the pump, with the supplied cabling between them. Fit it yourself, or use a pool installer or plumber. The power pack needs a licensed electrician to connect to a fixed supply.

Warranty & Support

3 year warranty on the power pack and 3 years on the salt cell, conditional on the install and use following Waterco's terms. Commercial installations are covered for 1 year. Waterco lists its premium salt cells at 4 years against 3 for a standard cell. DIY installing? Warranty applies when the install follows the supplied install guide. Questions?
