What do the Chlorine and pH Numbers Represent? 

· 

The  Chlorine  (ORP)  number  is  the  activity  of  the  chlorine  (see  explanation  of 

 

ORP (Below) and measures in millivolts. (Refer to pages 19 and 30 to 32) 

· 

The pH number is the measure of acid / alkalinity and is displayed in units of 

       the pH scale.  

 

Left Hand Side of Display Screen 

The  numbers  on  the  left-hand  side  of  the  display  screen  are  the  values  the  Probe  is 
registering for the 

actual 

levels of Chlorine and pH within the pool water. 

The Chemigem will work to achieve the same values as those

 

“SET”

 on the right-hand end 

of the display. 
 

Right Hand Side of Display Screen

 

The numbers on the right-hand side of the display screen are the values 

“SET”

The  unit  has  been  factory-set  to  achieve  650  millivolts  Chlorine  (ORP)  and  7.7pH  as  the 
preferred levels for Chlorine and pH respectively. 
These settings may be raised or lowered using the keypads 7 and 8 for pH and 9 and 0 for 
Chlorine (ORP) to the right of the display screen. 

 

 

KEYPADS 
 
Password 

The Chemigem is protected by a password (if enabled).  The number will be required when 
operating the function changing keypads. 
The screen provides information as to how to select a three-number password.  The unit 
cannot be disabled without the use of the password numbers.
