Salt water pool chlorinator
Hi All
Recently bought "Krystal Clear salt water system " Model 8110 with the Intex brand. It's a salt water chlorinator. Ok .....The unit consists of some electronics including a programmable timer that witches itself on and off as programmed. As far as I can figure, it switches on and off the 110 volt line current to a step down transformer,then to a rectifier then to titanium plates acting as cathode and anode in the water flow. What I want to do, is to have the chlorinator control the on off switching of my 220 volt pump so that I do not have to turn the pump on and off manually or run a separate timer. I have a suitable 110 volt relay to switch the 220 volt current to the 1.5 horse pump. I don't expect the coil in the relay would draw much more then 10 or 15 watts so there should be no problem drawing power for it from the chlorinator. Does anyone know exactly how to do what I want to do. I myself have a terrible track record on these electronic things. I usually make them smoke and once the smoke comes out they never work again! (O: Thanks in advance! |
