The
RED
LED indicator light has TWO states of operation.
1.
If the
RED
LED Indicator is flashing it will indicate that there is a flow fault or problem with the
cell. The Cell should be inspected to see if there is water flowing freely over the electrodes and
there Is no gas (air or hydrogen) inside the cell
2.
If the
RED
LED Indicator is STEADY RED (not flashing) it will indicate that the power pack is
in an overload state and that it has shut itself down to protect itself from any damage.
The cell should also be inspected to see if there are any calcium deposits on the Gas Sensing Tang of
the cell.
The cell connections.
The WATERMAID Cell connections to the Power Pack should also be inspected to ensure they
are tight and free of electrical corrosion or damage.
The MOST LIKELY cause will be that the SALT LEVEL in the pool is in excess of what the unit
requires to operate efficiently. It may also be that SALT has recently been added to the pool and
un-dissolved salt is passing over the electrodes. When adding salt to the pool, always ensure the
WATERMAID unit has been shut off or the chlorine production turned down to the lowest
setting. (By using the
-
button)
The solution for a Power Pack that is in an overload state is to dilute the water in the pool by
emptying the pool approximately 15cm / 6 Inches at a time and refilling with a fresh water source.
This may need to be repeated several times until the unit is operating correctly again and all lights
are indicating between the 75%- 100% range.
It may also be a good opportunity, if you have a sand filter to give the filter a thorough backwash
whilst solving this temporary problem.
THE
BLUE, AUTO CELL CLEAN
indicator lamp will illuminate when the Power Pack is operating
the inbuilt cell cleaning features.
It is designed to come on at regular intervals during a chlorination cycle and will operate for
approximately 5 – 10 minutes each time.
No Green Light - No Amp Reading - No Chlorine Output
During the normal process of producing chlorine in the electrolytic cell,
Calcium deposits will develop on the cathode electrode of the cell. This
needs to be removed to ensure proper operation and chlorine production
from the Watermaid unit.
Apart from cleaning the cell electrodes, it may also be necessary to clean
the
Gas Sensing Tang
inside the Watermaid Cell.
It can develop calcium deposits that need to be removed. It is not
common, but in some cases can result in preventing the Watermaid unit
from functioning and producing chlorine.
Also ensure the Brass Plug is
CLEAN AND A TIGHT FIT
– this can be
adjusted by gently prising the two sections of the plug apart clean and
smear with
‘Vaseline’ or ‘Silicone Grease’
to prevent atmospheric corrosion.
