A.1.2 :There is no production displayed on indicator
A.1.2.1: Check the electrical connection. The unit should have the LED indicators ON when
the pump is running & should have LED lights OFF when pump is not running.
A.1.2.2: Check that the Flow indicator (small red dot on LED panel) is not ON?
If this dot is ON, it indicates that the unit detects a presence of gas in the cell housing.
Check that when the unit is in operation there is no bubble of air in the top part of the cell
housing.
Note: The housing must be installed horizontal, with the inlet on the side of the threaded plug
of the cell. (The direction of flow is indicated with an arrow on the cell housing). If there is gas
in the housing the blue connector of the cell detects this gas and the unit will not operate. This
bubble has to be eliminated: make sure that the unit is installed correctly at the inlet & outlet to
prevent the bubble forming in the housing.
If there is no gas in the cell housing and the red dot is indicating there is “flow”, the problem may
come from the PCB. Refer to the trouble shooting of the control box.
If this dot is not ON, Refer to the trouble shooting of the control box. .
A.1.3 : The water is not clear or is green
Need to first establish if the problem comes from the unit.
A.1.3.1: Does the digital display of the unit show 100 when the unit operates?
Make sure that the chlorine production control is at maximum, if the display is showing 100,
(between 95 and 105 is within acceptable levels), the problem does not come from the unit as it
is functioning correctly. If this is the case the water chemistry is likely to be incorrect.
If the display does not show 100, (one or two red alarms ON), refer to chapter A.1.1.
A.1.3.2: Is the value of the pH correct?
Check that the pH of the water is not above recommended levels (between 7 and 7.4). The
correct pH level ensures maximum efficiency of the salt electrolysis process.
A.1.3.3: Is there some stabilizer in the water?
Without the presence of stabilizer in the water, (isocyanuric acid), chlorine is rapidly destroyed
by UV (Ultra Violets rays from the sun) and its effectiveness becomes very limited. The chlorine
of the water needs to be protected by
40 to 70 ppm of stabilizer in the water (40 grams of
stabilizer per m3 of water).
A.1.3.4: Is the filtration time sufficient?
The warmer the water is, the longer the filtration time should be. The number of hours of
filtration every day should be a minimum of half of the temperature of the water in °C.
Example : Water at 26°C. Filtration time should be 13 hours/day.
If the filtration time is not sufficient, the electrolysis will not be sufficient since the electrolysis
works only during the filtration time.
