Diagnostic Menu
To enter the Diagnostic Menu, press the “Menu” button repeatedly until the display shows “Diagnostic
Menu”. At this point, you can use either the “<” or “>” buttons to scroll through the various menu items
which are described below:

Press to switch chlorinator operation to opposite polarity (15 second delay)
+/- 23.45V is the voltage applied to the chlorinator cell
+/-6.75A is the current (amps) through the cell
84ºF is the water temperature at the cell
3200PPM is the “instant” salt level at this time
For the chlorinator to be operating, several other things must be happening: the filter pump
must be running, the flow switch must be detecting flow, the chlorinator setting must be set
greater than 0%, the water temperature at the cell must be between 50ºF and 140ºF, and the
salt level must be within the operating range. If any of these conditions are not met, the
chlorinator diagnostic display will tell you the reason. It’s possible to have more than one
reason, in which case after you rectify what was displayed the first time, a second display will
appear.
If the current (amps) display is 0.00A, then the chlorinator is operating normally but is in the
off part of its normal operating cycle. Simply press either the “+” or “-“ key to start a new
cycle.
The Aqua Logic periodically reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the cell in order
to automatically clean off any calcium deposits. It is important that you check the chlorinator
operation in both polarities. To do this, press either the “+” or “-“ buttons and the chlorinator
will turn off, wait for 15 seconds and then turn on in the opposite polarity.
If a conventional or solar heater is operating, it is likely that the temperature of the water at
the cell is higher than the pool/spa water temperature displayed on the Aqua Logic default
display.
Instant Salt

Press to load the “instant salt” into the averaged salt display
The “instant salt” is calculated based on the voltage, current (amps), and water temperature
at the cell. This is different than the “average salt” value which is displayed as part of the
default menu. There are a number of reasons why instant and average salt readings may
differ. Some of these include salt having just been added to the pool and not yet thoroughly
mixed, calcium buildup on the cell, and the cell aging.
Flow Switch

The current status of the flow switch is displayed. There is a short delay when transitioning
from flow to no-flow and a longer delay on the transition from no-flow to flow. The delay time
is displayed.
