PROBLEM

 

 

CAUSE

 

SOLUTION 

 

1) 

Insufficient Sanitizer Production.

 

 

A)

  The test kit reagents or test strips are old or expired.

containing Potassium Monopersulfate to supplement. 

 

E)

  The body of water being sanitized leaks. 

E) 

Repair the leak and rebalance as needed. 

 

F)

 Low Salt. 

F)

  Check the residual salt level and adjust as needed. 

 

G)
