2. High Salt LED ON 

The 

‘High Salt’ LED will be ON when the cell amperage is above the maximum limit. The ‘High Salt’ LED may also 

be ON if the wrong Turbo Cell is being used.  The Aqua Trol systems are designed to only work with the t-5 model. 

The LCD display will read 

‘HI’ when the amperage is above 6.40. 

Verify salt level is 2700-3400ppm and check 

with independent test to ensure accuracy. 

If salt level is above the range, partially drain pool and/or spa and refill 

with fresh water to achieve a salt level of 3200ppm, refer to page 9, 

Step D. If the salt level is not high, verify the correct cell is being used 

then reset (follow steps on page 6).  

Maximum Current (Amps) 

before shutdown 

Unlike low salt the system does 

not shut the chlorinator down 

when a specific salt level is 

reached.  Instead the unit will 

suspend chlorination when the 

cell’s amperage draw exceeds a 

certain value.
