Westaho Salt Chlorine Generator Installation & User Guide (Complete Step-by-Step Manual)

Switching to a saltwater pool system is one of the smartest upgrades for modern pool owners. The Westaho salt chlorine generator is designed to simplify pool maintenance, improve water quality, and reduce chemical usage through advanced electrolysis technology that converts salt into chlorine automatically .

This guide walks you through installation, setup, operation, and maintenance, ensuring you get the best performance from your system.

1. Overview of Westaho Salt Chlorine Generator

The Westaho salt chlorine generator is engineered for both above-ground and in-ground pools, with capacities ranging from 15,000 to 40,000 gallons .

Key features include:

  • Titanium salt cell for long lifespan and efficiency
  • Intelligent monitoring system (salt level, temperature, voltage)
  • Self-cleaning polarity reversal function
  • Automatic chlorine generation for consistent sanitation

Unlike traditional chlorine systems, it continuously produces chlorine, keeping water clean, soft, and stable.

2. What’s Included in the Box

When you purchase a Westaho system, you typically receive:

  • Control unit (power supply + display panel)
  • Titanium salt cell
  • PVC unions and connectors
  • Flow switch
  • Installation manual

Installation Guide (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Choose the Installation Location

The generator must be installed after the pool pump and filter on the return line.

This ensures:

  • Clean filtered water flows through the salt cell
  • Proper chlorine generation efficiency

📌 Important: Never install it before the filter.

Step 2: Turn Off Power

Before installation:

  • Turn off the pool pump
  • Shut down electrical supply

Safety is critical to prevent damage or injury.

Step 3: Cut the Return Pipe

Using a PVC cutter:

  • Mark the section using the template
  • Cut a segment of the return pipe

Ensure:

  • Straight cuts
  • Proper spacing for the salt cell

Step 5: Install the Salt Cell

  • Insert the titanium salt cell between unions
  • Ensure proper flow direction (arrow indicator)
  • Tighten fittings securely

The system includes a magnetic flow switch to detect water movement and protect the unit.

Step 6: Connect the Control Unit

  • Mount the control panel on a wall
  • Connect the salt cell cable
  • Plug into a grounded power outlet

4. Initial Setup Instructions

Step 1: Add Pool Salt

Add salt to your pool water:

  • Recommended level: 3000–4000 ppm
  • Distribute evenly across the pool
  • Run pump for 24 hours to dissolve

Step 2: Start the System

  • Turn on the pool pump
  • Power on the generator
  • Set chlorine output level

Most pools require 8–12 hours of operation daily

Step 3: Monitor Display

Westaho systems provide real-time data:

  • Salt level
  • Water temperature
  • Voltage/current
  • Cell working status

This helps maintain optimal performance automatically

5. How It Works (Simple Explanation)

The system uses electrolysis:

  1. Salt dissolves in pool water
  2. Electricity passes through titanium plates
  3. Salt converts into chlorine
  4. Chlorine sanitizes the pool
  5. Chlorine reverts back to salt

This creates a continuous cycle, reducing the need for manual chemical additions.
