Cell reversal is set on 4-hrs from the factory for ideal cell life. For conditions such as high calcium levels that can
cause the cell to scale quicker than the self-cleaning cycle can control, change the setting to “2” hours.
For vinyl liner pools or optimum water chemistry balance according to the Saturation Index, see page 10, changing the
REVERSING cycle to “8” or “16” hours will extend the life of the cell.
If the Reverse Time is set to the “16” hours setting, check the cell weekly for the first month to ensure no scale
develops. If there is scale development, change the setting to “8” hours.
Note
: changing the Reversing Time to “2” hours will affect the cell life. However, operating with scale
development on the cell is more damaging to the life of the cell and changing the reversing time is suggested

Calibrate Salt
: allows you to calibrate the salt display. Contact the factory for calibration solution

Error Messages:
If the message
“Sanitizer Off”
is shown, the system halts sanitizer production. This is shown when the unit is at rest or when
the salt level is extremely low.
If the message
“Warning!”
is shown, the system will continue to produce sanitizer but at a reduced efficiency. This is
associated with a warning message to check the system.
