TRI-SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The Tri-sensor assembly tests for Flow, Salt and Water temperatures. A minimum flow rate of 15 gpm (3.4 m³/hr) is required
to activate the flow switch. As the water flow closes the paddle, a magnet activates a micro switch to verify proper flow. The
Salt sensor protects against low salt levels and the temperature sensor protects against cold water temperatures. Both of which
can contribute to accelerated cell failure.
►
Note:
The use of high strength magnet devices in the close proximity
of the
T
ri-sensor can cause the flow switch to read incorrectly.
Remove the Tri-
s
ensor as follows (with pump off):
Remove both screws from the sides of the Tee Assembly.
With the aid of large Channel-lok® (or similar) pliers, firmly
grip the Tri-
s
ensor assembly and move back and forth while
removing the Tri-
s
ensor from the tee.
Inspect the thin metalic paddle for erosion and straightness.
Take care not to twist or tweak this paddle, which can cause
inaccurate flow readings.
Inspect the salt sensor blades for scale and debris and clean
if necessary. See page 13 for cleaning instructions. Follow
the directions for Manual Cell Cleaning.
Check the
T
ri-sensor assembly for any damage to the plastic
housing and replace if needed.
