CHLORINATOR MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Cell Maintenance
Your Filtrite chlorinator has an automatic cleaning feature that under normal conditions, will keep the cell plates clear of
deposits of salt and calcium. In certain circumstances and with unbalanced water, calcium build ups can occur which will
require manual cleaning of the cell.
Filtrite chlorinator cells have a negative charge sensor that monitors the flow and salt levels of the water. This sensor is
designed to be a failsafe. As it is negatively charged, deposits of calcium or other debris may build up on it and cause it to
indicate a low salt or no flow condition. Should a low salt condition be indicated, have your salt level checked at your local
pool shop. If the low salt condition persists, or a no flow condition is indicated when the supply pump is operating, you may
need to manually clean your chlorinator cell.
