IMPORTANT

REMEMBER THAT YOUR POOL IS COMPATIBLE WITH CHLORINE AND SHOCK AS NORMAL. IF YOUR POOL IS

EXPERIENCING TEMPORARY LOSS OF CHLORINE OR OTHER DIFFICULTIES, ADD SANITIZER AS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE POOL.

WARNING

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE INPUT POWER IS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES. ALL TROUBLESHOOTING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL.
