The following is a list of possible causes to commonly encountered problems.
CHLORINE RESIDUAL LOW OR NIL

* Heavy bather load - insufficient running times to cope [refer to section 9]
Strong sunlight conditions and/or insufficient chlorine stabilizer level [refer to section
1(b)]
* pH too high or low [refer to section 1(c)]
* Poor water circulation [refer below]
* Algaecide has been added within the last 4 weeks [refer to section 10]
Excessive calcium level causing scale on Cell electrodes [refer to sections 5& 6(iii)]
Cell is old and needs replacing [refer to section 6(v)]
CHLORINE LEVELS HIGH IN THE MORNING AND NIL AT NIGHT
* Heavy bather load [refer to section 9]
Extreme sunlight conditions and/or insufficient chlorine stabilizer level [refer to section
1(b)]
RED LIGHT
* Nil or insufficient water flow in Cell or poor circulation [refer below]
Problem with Cell connection [refer section 3(v)]
Excessive calcium level causing scale on gas sensor [refer to sections 4, 5& 6(iii)]
NO GREEN LIGHTS

Fault inside Power Supply
NO LIGHTS AT ALL
* No power to WATERMAID chlorinator [refer to section 3(vi)]
Problem inside Power Supply - refer to qualified service technician for repair
SCALE BUILD-UP ON CELL ELECTRODES
[for removal refer to section 6(iii)]
Excessive calcium level in water [refer to section 5]
PH ALTERS RAPIDLY AND EASILY
Low total alkalinity in marblesheen, pebbled, quartzon or tiled pools or spas and may
be the result of contamination [e.g. debris, urine etc] [refer to section 1(c) ]
