Common Causes of Low Chlorine Levels
(Continued)
Insufficient Operation
:
Ensure
input power
- Is the salt system turning on and off with the pump as normal? Has the fuse / fuse reset button / circuit
breaker been tripped? If so, see "No Power", page 9.
Output Level
- The percentage output level that you set tells the system how much of its maximum capacity to use in order to
create chlorine. If you are experiencing high chlorine demand, ensure that you have your system turned up to 100% output so
that it is doing as much as possible to compensate. Leave the system at 100% output until the pool is balanced again. Since
every pool operates differently and has a different level of chlorine demand, during normal operation there is not a standard
percentage level at which to set the output.
Run time
- When sized right, a chlorine generator can typically achieve sufficient chlorination when run on the filter pump's
normal schedule. However, every pool has different equipment and its operation is unique, and you may require (or choose) to
run the filter pump more or less than is standard. As a rule of thumb however, run your system one hour for every ten degrees
of ambient temperature in order to achieve both sufficient filtration and chlorination. Periods of high use, harsh environmental
conditions, or excessive chlorine demand may require extended run times. For example, running your system twice as long will
allow it to create twice as much chlorine.
Cell Maintenance
- Make sure the cell plates are clean and free from any debris. The Self-Cleaning feature minimizes the
amount of mineral deposits that will occur, but as with every salt system, the electrolytic cell should be cleaned periodically. If
there are any calcium deposits which are causing the cell plates to bridge together, clean the cell with one part muriatic acid
and five parts water for 10 minutes. See page 18 or go to www.youtube.com/circupool to see a video of this being done.
Example of a cell that needs to be cleaned:
During initial startup
(springtime / new pools) - When being opened, pools typically have much higher than normal chlorine
demand. In these circumstances a pool requires a large amount of sanitizer all at once, which means that it is often more
effective to add chlorine or shock as needed initially instead of waiting on the system to slowly reach "break-point" chlorination.
