Check Salt
The ideal salt level is 4000 ppm and the ideal water temperature is 80º F.
The CHECK SALT light will illuminate & the LCD will read “Check Salt”
• If the water temp is below 65º F
• The salt level is below 3000 ppm or
• There is a combination of lower than ideal salt & lower than ideal water temperature.
Note: A cell which is damaged or dying out can also activate the CHECK SALT light.
• If the salt level is down 10% you lose approximately 8% output
• If the pool water cools down to 20 degrees F you lose approximately 20% output
• If voltage to cell is down10% due to wear then approximately 18% of the output will be lost.
Skimmer Box Test.
In cold weather if the “Add Salt” LED activates it could be caused by the temperature of the water. Test by
doing the following:
• Turn the Ei to 100% output.
• Add a large handful of salt in the skimmer box.
• Wait 30 seconds.
If the “Add Salt” LED goes off it confirms the cell is good and the loss of current is due to the cold water or lack
of salinity in the water.
Display Shows Clean Cell or Test Cell
•
Has the cell been cleaned?
• Are the wires connected and in good shape on both the cell and Power Pack?
•
How old is the cell?
• Is the cell still producing? You can see the effervescence in the cell when producing.
To access the Chlorinator/Cell hours:
• Turn the Ei OFF.
• Press and hold the secret ‘REVERSE’ button behind the Jandy logo.
• Wait approximately 6 seconds, then the hours will appear.
• Press the ON/OFF button to return to the normal operating screen, OR
• Press the OUTPUT button to clear the CELL HRS (this should be done when the cell has been
replaced)
