LOW CHLORINE LEVEL IN POOL
IMPORTANT: Measuring a low chlorine level does not indicate that your system is not working.
Water chemistry and
environmental conditions are the #1 cause of a low chlorine level in a saltwater pool. The following steps will enable you to verify
with certainty whether or not your system is operational and creating chlorine. Following that, this help guide will help identify what
may contributing to the low chlorine level in the pool water.
Verifying that the system is operational
There are two variables involved in the generation of chlorine: salt and electricity. If there is salt in the water and power being sent
to the Electrolytic Cell, the system is generating chlorine normally. If the salt level is in question, independently test a water sample.

Verifying Power is present in Cell
1.
Water Fault LED Indicator
o
Is the Water Fault LED indicator illuminated? If it is, the system is not able to send power through the cell (like
what would happen if there were no water present in the cell). See "Water Fault" troubleshooting, page 12.
o
If the Water Fault LED indicator is not on, then your system is successfully able to send power through the cell.
2.
Power Graph
o
If the Water Fault light is off, power is passing through the cell. The Control Module has a built in power meter that
ensures that the full and complete amount of power is able to pass through the cell.
o
The power meter is the bar graph that appears underneath the time and percentage output that you set; it should
match the percentage number. The graph initially will be blank, and will slowly grow from left to right over the
course of up to 60 seconds.
OK - Normal power
OK- Normal power
Problem - Insufficient Power
o
If your power graph cannot ramp up from left to right when set to 100%, the system is not able to create chlorine
normally. This may occur when the cell has reached the end of its lifespan. Note: If your system begins its salt test
before the graph has fully ramped, this does not indicate a problem. You will need to wait for the test to complete
and for the test results to clear from the screen, which may take 5-10 minutes.
o
If your power graph can ramp up from left to right when set to 100%, the system is able to pass the full amount of
power through the cell, and is fully operational and creating chlorine normally.
Summary:
If salt is present above the minimum level of 3000 ppm, if the Water Fault light is off, and if the power graph matches
the percentage output, then the system is fully operational and creating chlorine normally. See below for troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT
-
REMEMBER THAT YOUR POOL IS COMPATIBLE WITH CHLORINE AND SHOCK AS NORMAL. IF YOUR POOL IS
EXPERIENCING TEMPORARY LOSS OF CHLORINE OR OTHER DIFFICULTIES, ADD SANITIZER AS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE POOL.
