STEADY – During normal operation this light will remain STEADY, indicating that power is on 
and the chlorinator is operating correctly.

FLASHING – When FLASHING the monitoring system has detected a water flow problem and 
has shut down to prevent damage. It will also be accompanied by a beeping alarm alerting you 
of this situation. When problem is rectified normal operation will resume.

STEADY – When this light is illuminated and STEADY it will also be accompanied by a beeping 
alarm alerting you of this situation. The chlorinator has overloaded and shut down to prevent 
any damage. A direct short between two of the electrode plates coming into contact with 
each other could cause this, or a foreign object could be shorting out two or more plates. It 
can also be caused by a massively high concentration of salt in the pool water. Depending 
on the problem and rectification required, normal operations can proceed. Please note that 
the chlorinator power supply must be switched off and then on again to reset the electronic 
circuitry and resume operations.

FLASHING – When illuminated and FLASHING the chlorinator is operating correctly in reverse 
cycle mode.

SPECIAL NOTE ON WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS: 
When your chlorinator is operating in forward polarity cycle, light number 3 (Fig. 1, item 3) 
is on and steady while light number 4 (Fig. 1, item 4) is off. 
When your chlorinator is operating in reverse polarity cycle, light number 3 remains on 
and steady while light number 4 will flash. 
At the end of each cell operational cycle (or cell reverse), the power on/no water flow 
light & overload light (Fig. 1, Items 3 & 4) will ALTERNATE by flashing in a slow fashion 
for approximately thirty (30) seconds. This is the cell rinse procedure and is part of the 
normal operation, which occurs at each reverse cycle change of your Pixie™ reverse 
polarity chlorinator. On completion normal operations in the next cycle will begin. 
Contrary to popular belief, during both normal and reverse cycle modes the chlorinator 
continues to generate chlorine, whilst at the same time the opposite polarity cell plates 
are being automatically cleaned.
