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

 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.
