PROBLEM

 

 

CAUSE

 

SOLUTION 

 

1) 

Insufficient Sanitizer Production.

 

 

A)

  The test kit reagents or test strips are old or expired. 

A) 

Retest with new Reagents or Strips. 

B) 

The unit is set too low in relation to sanitizer demand. 

B)

  Increase the Sanitizer % output. 

 

C)

  The circulation run time is insufficient. 

C) 

Increase your pump run time. 

 

D)

  The bather load has increased. 

D) 

Same solution as 

(B)

 and/or add a Non-Chlorine Shock  

 

 

 

 

 

containing Potassium Monopersulfate to supplement. 

 

E)

  The body of water being sanitized leaks. 

E) 

Repair the leak and rebalance as needed. 

 

F)

  Low Salt. 

F)

  Check the residual salt level and adjust as needed. 

 

G)

 “Cell Type” selection not matched to the cell installed. 

G)

  Follow the INSTALLER SETUP instructions, see page 8. 

 

H)

 Sanitizer loss due to intense sunlight 

H)

  Check your stabilizer level and adjust if needed. 

 

2) 

Scale Build-up within the Cell.

 

 

A) 

The water being sanitized contains high pH, total 

A)

  Calculate Langelier’s Index to assure balanced water.  

 

 

alkalinity and calcium hardness levels. 

 

Adjust chemicals and clean the Cell.  See pages 12 & 13. 

 

 

(Cell scales within 2 – 3 weeks) 

 

B)

  Power Supply not reversing polarity. 

B)

  Contact Representative or Authorized Service Centre. 

 

 

(Cell constantly scales within 3 – 5 days) 

 

 

3) 

DC Plug and Cell Terminals Burned.

 

 

 

A)

  The Cell terminals are wet due to a leaking cell body. 

A)

  Contact Representative or Authorized Service Centre. 

 

B) 

The Cell plug is not securely pushed onto the cell 

B) 

Ensure the Cell cord plug is pressed completely onto the 

 

 

terminals, allowing moisture to seep into the plug. 

 

Cell terminal.  Check the terminals and clean with a dry  

 

 

   

 

 

cloth to remove all dirt and corrosion. 

4) 

Premature Cell Failure (Requires Replacement Cell).

  

 

 

A)

  Abnormally high Cell usage due to an insufficient 

A) 

Check the stabilizer level and adjust to recommended levels. 

 

 

Stabilizer (Cyanuric acid) level. 

 

B)

  Excessive Scale/Debris in the Cell. 

B) 

See Section 2 above.  

 

C) 

“Cell Type” selection not matched to the Cell installed. 

C)

  Follow the INSTALLER SETUP instructions, see page 8. 

 

5) 

White Flakes in the Water.

 

 

A)

  This occurs when excessive calcium hardness is 

A)

  Adjust your water chemistry, visually inspect Cell for scale 

 

 

present.  Usually due to water chemistry imbalance. 

 

build-up and clean the cell as described on pages 11 & 13.   

 

6) 

No Power to the Control Box.

 

 

A)

  Internal Fuse blown. 

A)

  Check and replace fuse.  See page 11. 

 

B)

  Circuit Breaker tripped. 

B)

  Check the power going to the Control Box.  Reset the  

 

 

   

 

Circuit Breaker. 

7)

 

SERVICE Light Flashing.

 

 

MESSAGED DISPLAYED  

“CHECK FLOW”

 

 

 

A) 

  Tri-Sensor Defective.  

A)

  Contact Representative or Authorized Service Centre. 

 

 

B) 

  Insufficient Flow(Min 94.5 L/min.)(25 USGallons/min)

B)

  Ensure your Filter and Cell are clean of debris. 

 

   

   

 

Check all valves that might divert flow away from the cell. 

 

MESSAGE DISPLAYED 

“LOW AMPS – CELL?”

 

 

A) 

Extremely Low Cell Amperage. 

A)

  Cell heavily scaled.  If cell is already clean, replace cell. 

 

B) Extremely

 Low Salt Level. 

B)

  Salt level below 1,5 gm/l (1500 ppm). 

 

C)

  The Cell Cord is Loose 

C)

  Ensure that the cord is firmly pressed into the cell and  

 

 

   

 

the wires properly connected into the banana plugs. 

 

D)

 Power Supply has failed. 

D)

  Contact Representative or Authorized Service Centre. 

 

MESSAGED DISPLAYED  

“CHECK/CLEAN CELL” (Sanitizer still producing) 

 

 

A) 

Excessive Cell Voltage 

A)

  Check cell for calcium or scale build-up.Clean as req’d. 

 

   

   

 

Water Temperature too cold. Raise above 15.6

°

C/60

°

F  

 

MESSAGE DISPLAYED
