TROUBLE SHOOTING
It is always a good idea to revisit the user manual to make sure installation or maintenance steps were not over-
looked before referring to the trouble shooting section.
Problem
Possible Causes
Corrective Action
Consistently Low
Chlorine

polarity. If still dirty, soak the unit in vinegar for 30 minutes.
Also reduce calcium level in water.
CLEANING & REVERSE POLARITY
ChlorMaker is uniquely designed with reverse polarity which is a self cleaning feature built in to every unit. How
-
ever, there may be water conditions (very hard water) where the self cleaning design may not be able to keep up.
If this water condition exists in your area, a white buildup will be visible on the titanium plates. Periodically inspect
the plates by looking through the clear inspection pipe in the cell. If a build up exists, please follow the steps below.
1.
Disconnect the control panel cell cable from cell and set the cable where it will not get wet.
2.
Using two wrenches, place one on the cell “T” fitting and the other on the cell cap where the cell cable con
-
nector is. Carefully unscrew the cap making sure that the plates don’t get stuck as you unscrew the cap. You
should be able to see the plates turn as you unscrew the cap.
3. Pull the cap and plates out and set aside.
Note: Water will be draining out at this point so quickly install
the spare cap included in the package to keep water from leaking.
Do not tighten this cap.
4.
Submerge the titanium plates in a cup of pure white vinegar (or mild acid) for approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
Rinse the plates off with fresh water. A small piece of wood can be used to carefully scrape off any buildup
prior to placing the plates in the mild acid.
5. Remove the temporary cap and insert and tighten the cap with the plates. Reconnect the control panel cell
cable to the cell.
