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

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.
