INSTALLATION - OVERVIEW

Preparation

Though you may be able to install the Sensiblue yourself, we recommend using a local certified installer to install it according local regulations. Make sure you keep enough space around Sensiblue to replace salt container as mentioned in the dimensional drawing (Figure 1).

Install in a dry, clean, aerated and frost-free environment.

Inside the box:

  • Sensiblue S315

  • Bracket to mount Sensiblue S315 to the wall

  • Installation manual

  • Blue Bracket for unmounting salt container

Needed for installation:

  • (Flexible) tubing with brass fitting 3/4” inch male thread.

  • 2 Screws, Diameter 6mm, min. Length 45mm with plugs.

  • ONLY use Teflon tape, for making a water tight connection

  • 2 Wrenches (for Sensiblue: size 30)

  • Screwdriver and other tools for installing tubing.

TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

We advice you to install the Sensiblue with a by-pass (Figures 3 & 4 below) and - when you have a water storage facility to install the Sensiblue upstream of the tank. 

Please be aware that we strongly advice you to have 2 valves up- & downstream (marked A & B in figures below) of the Sensiblue, this is needed for maintenance.

4 STEPS INSTALLATION

Step 1

Mount the bracket (horizontally levelled) to the wall while having enough space around the Sensiblue to work and to be able to replace the salt container (see Fig. 5), distance 2 holes 140mm. 

Be aware to let the water flow in the right way - incoming water on IN connection, outgoing water on OUT connection - see Fig. 5, below. Make sure the internals of the water works are clean before connecting your tubing to the Sensiblue.

Only use Teflon tape to make the connection water tight.

Step 2

Connect your tubing to the Sensiblue. We advise the use of a minimal diameter of 15mm tubing to ensure proper function of Sensiblue. 

Make sure Sensiblue is mounted inside the bracket before connection and make sure you always use 2 wrenches, on the Sensiblue a wrench size 30 and another wrench on the fitting you screw into the Sensiblue, as seen in Fig. 6.

Prevent any mechanical stress on the internals of the Sensiblue.

Step 3

Open the water valves, fill up the Sensiblue and make sure the LED on top of the Sensiblue is lit up green while your water is running. It takes 10 to 30 minutes for the water container to fill up and to dissolve enough salt for the Sensiblue to function properly and to start up the electrolysis process. Depending on your situation it may take up to 15 days of normal use for the air to fully dissolve from the salt container of the Sensiblue.

Step 4

Make sure there is no water leaking after closing the valves downstream and opening the valves upstream, when the system is under pressure. 

Leave this manual and the blue salt container bracket somewhere close to the Sensiblue for later service and maintenance.

 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

The Sensiblue disinfection process uses a very small amount of salt when in operation. When the LED-light lits up red, there is not enough salt water for the electrolysis process to function properly. You need to refill the Salt container. 

Refilling Salt Container

  • Close the valves upstream of the Sensiblue (Page 3, Valves A & C) in your water circuit.

  • Open one of the downstream taps (Page 3, Taps I or II, etc) to release water pressure.

  • Close the valve downstream of the Sensiblue (Page 3, Valve B)

  • Open the white Sensiblue housing by turning the housing following the indicated direction “OPEN”. If there is no space to remove the cap downwards, you may unscrew the housing (marked yellow, Fig 7).

  • Unscrew the blue salt container anticlockwise.

  • Pour out 1/3rd of the water. After refilling it will take 10-30 minutes before a sufficient amount of salt has been dissolved for optimal performance of chlorine production. Leaving part of the salty water will accelerate startup.

  • Clean the container and O-ring with warm water. (Fig 8)

  • Check the position of the T-shaped salt distribution unit in the container and the position of the O-ring; make sure the T-shaped unit is pressed in below the O-ring.

  • Pour the salt in the container (consumable salt pearls, dimensions 5-15mm, according EN973 Type A and/ or DIN19604 Type 2). If possible, fill the container up with water before mounting to minimise air inclusions.

  • Mount the salt container back to the Sensiblue and close it hand tight.

  • Slowly open the upstream valve, the container will be de-aerated if you open a downstream tap and close and open the upstream at least 10 times for deaerating the Sensiblue.

  • Note: After refilling the container it takes some time for the Sensiblue to start up the disinfection process. The LED indicator will turn green again soon after.

 PROBLEM SOLVING / TROUBLE SHOOTING

Event though the product should function without having problems, it can happen that you stumble upon an issue. The known and most occurring ones with their solutions you’ll find in below table.

Problem

LED indicates red: 

Electrolysis process doesn’t work properly.

  • Check if there are still salt pearls in the salt container, if there are none, please refill, see page 5.

  • Check if the T-shaped distribution unit inside salt container is not blocked

LED does not work

Water pressure / flow is not sufficient.

  • Increase water flow to > 3L/min.

Leakage of the Sensiblue

  • Check if salt container is mounted properly, open and close it again.

Active chlorine test indicates production is below 0,2 mg/l

  • Check if there are salt pearls in the salt container, if not, refill.

  • Flow is insufficient, increase flow to > 3L/min.

  • Flow is too high, decrease the flow to <15L/min.

Water tastes salty

  • Make sure that all the air is out of the salt container inside the Sensiblue. If there is air trapped inside the container, pressure will build up when you close a tap and when you open up a tap, it will push out a small amount of very salt water. It may take up to 15 days, with normal use of your water works, for the air to get out of the Sensiblue.

  • If there is no air inside the Sensiblue, and you still taste salt water, we advice you to add a small (minimum 5L.) storage tank of water downstream of the Sensiblue, the small amount of salty water will be diluted in the tank. Adding a float switch in the tank is recommended to minimize the amount of starts and stops of the Sensiblue.
