Add salt. (See ‘Salt: When and How to Add it’).
CAUSE 3: Water temperature is below 18ºC (65 ºF).
The output of the electrode is determined by water temperature, salt level and mains voltage. In
the springtime when the water temperature of the pool is below 18°C (65°F) there may be a
reduction in conductivity of the pool water which can cause the ‘check salt’ light to light up and
you will not be able to set the output to maximum. There is no need to add salt if the level is
already between 3200 and 4000 ppm. When the water is below 18°C (65°F), there is very little
algae growth and it is too cold for swimming so the chlorine does not get used up as much as it
would during normal operating conditions.
REMEDY:
You can leave the EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device at a lower output setting until the
temperature warms up.
WARNING:
Never allow the concentration of free chlorine to go below 1.0 ppm. If this is not
possible with the Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device because of the temperature of the
water, use a manual application of sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine).
CAUSE 4: Cell reversing polarity (cleaning cycle).
REMEDY:
If the cell is reversing the blue light on the ‘chlorine generation’ indicator will flash. Wait
approximately three minutes and the output should return to normal.
CAUSE 5: Cell is nearing the end of its life or may be damaged.
REMEDY:
Replace cell. When replacing the cell, only use replacement cells having a label that clearly
states that it is a genuine Zodiac replacement cell for the Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating
Device, registration number 29297 Pest Control Products Act.
Problem H: No Flow light on
CAUSE1: Insufficient water flow through the cell.
REMEDY:
Ensure sufficient water flow through Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device cell. Verify that
the filter and pump are on. Flow may be restricted if the filter needs backwashing. A pocket of air
trapped in the top of the cell confirms low water flow through the cell.
WARNING
: Operating the Zodiac EZ SALT Chlorine Generating Device without water flow
through the cell can cause a build up of flammable gases which can result in FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
CAUSE 2: Sensor disconnected.
REMEDY:
Make sure that the sensor lead from the power pack to the cell is attached at the cell.
