Common Problems and Solutions
The Salt & Swim's various LEDs show the operation status as well as alert the user
to any problems that may have occurred. Some indications may require a combi-
nation of LEDs to illuminate. To aid in interpreting these indications, Hayward has
created an interactive tool located at www.hayward.com. Use this tool and the
information below to identify and correct problems that may arise.

Possible causes of little or no free chlorine residual
- DAILY CHLORINE OUTPUT adjustment setting is too low
- Low stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid)
- Filter pump time too short (8 hours for average size pools, more for large pools)
- Salt level too low (below 2400 ppm)
- Salt level too high
- Very warm pools increase chlorine demand--increase Output %, or filter run time
- Cold water below 50ºF causes Salt & Swim to stop generating
- Cold water between 50ºF - 60ºF causes Salt & Swim to reduce output regard-
less of DAILY CHLORINE OUTPUT setting
- Excessive scaling on Cell.
- High level of Nitrogen in pool water.
- "Yellow Out" or similar treatment recently used. Some yellow algae treatments
will use chlorine at a very high rate and deplete the residual free chlorine. Manu-
ally shock the pool if indicated in the directions on the algae treatment. It still
may be a matter of days before the pool returns to "normal" and chlorine tests
will show the desired 1-3ppm free chlorine reading.

Depending on current conditions, there should always be at least one LED illumi-
nated when the Salt & Swim is powered. If no LEDs are on, check to make sure
that the linecord is plugged in and that the GFCI outlet is powered. If no power is
detected, the GFCI may have to be reset.

The Salt & Swim has shut down because the temperature of the pool/spa water is
too high (120ºF) or too low (50ºF). The system will not resume operation until the
water temperature returns to normal. Note: This condition can sometimes happen
if the pool/spa temperature is already high and the heater is running. The tempera-
ture coming out of the heater and into the Cell could possibly be high enough to
shut down the Salt & Swim.

The Salt & Swim has sensed a low flow or no flow condition and has stopped
generating chlorine.
- Verify that the filter pump is running and there are no obstructions or restrictions
in the pool plumbing.
- Backwash the pool filter.
- Increase the speed of your variable speed pump
