Page: 18 / 31

18
•
‘Cell Housing’ installed into plumbing
•
‘Cell’ properly in place in ‘Cell Housing’
•
Power supply mounted in plac e and connected to the circulatio n pump main power (correct
line voltage).
•
‘Cell’ connected to power supply
•
Sufficient salt dissolved into pool water
•
You have checked and confi rmed that your ECO-matic power supply s witches ON and OFF
coincidentally with the filter pump.
•
You have checked all connections and joints for leaks (including ‘Cell’ head O-ring).
Installation Trouble-Shooting
ECO-matic does not come ON when filter switched ON
1. Check ON/OFF switch on front panel of power supply
2. Power supply not properly connec ted to power s upply (make sure correct voltage is getting to
power supply)
3. Check fuses (front panel of power supply)
ECO-matic starts up with 2 red LEDS and varying display
1. Incorrect voltage to power supply. Check voltage.
2. Unit preparing to cut-out. Check salt level.
Understanding the ECO-matic System
Your ECO-matic uses the dissolved salt in the water to produce the sanitizer necessary to maintain
your pool/spa water in a safe and healthy condition.
The amount of sanitizer produced by the ECO-matic and the quantity of sa lt (the salinity) in the water
are related, but must be maintained and controlled as two separate factors:
Sanitizer:
The amount of sanitizer required for your pool varies from time to time and depends upon a number
of variables, including the number of swimmers in the pool, water temperature, etc.
To determine whether your ECO-matic is produc
ing sufficient sanitizer for YOUR pool/spa, the
sanitizer level in the pool/spa mu st be measured using a Commercial Te st Kit. The sanitizer level in
the water can then be adjusted up or down as desir ed, by adjusti ng the quantity of sanitizer being
produced by the ECO-matic (refer to
System Control ), if on manual control, or by adjusting the
Chemistry Controller if on Automated Control.
Low sanitizer levels should not be c onfused with a low salt level, and addi ng more salt will not
necessarily increase the sanitizer level. The salt level should be controlled and maintained separately
– see below.
Salt Level (Salinity):
Your ECO-matic will indicate (Control Panel) whether the salt le vel in the water has falle n below the
desired minimum operating level. The syste m will continue to produce sanitizer in low salt conditions
(at a decreased rate, and only until the automatic Cut-Out applies)
Note: low salt conditions cause
increased wear on the ‘Cell’ and will shorten the life of the ‘Cell’ . When your ECO-matic
indicates a Low Salt condition, add salt to the wa ter to correct the situati on. Measure and control
sanitizer levels separately, as described above.
