Troubleshooting
1. Make sure your filtration
system is working properly (i.e.
clean filter, skimmer and pump
basket).
2. Make sure circulation time
is adequate – increase pump
time if not.
3. Make sure the pool is
properly balanced
(see page 9).
4. Shock the water to eliminate
build up of any organic matter.
5. Make sure pool has a
free chlorine reading of
1.0 to 3.0 ppm.
6. Check with your dealer
for more information.
1. Algae may be trying to form
– shock the pool, increase
circulation time if needed and
clean the filter.
2. Metals in the fill water may
have been oxidized. Have the
pool tested. See pool dealer
if a metal control product is
required.
3. Check with your dealer for
more information.
1. Use an algaecide per the
directions on the bottle and
brush the sides of the pool
often.
2. Clean the filter and shock
the pool with chlorine daily
until water clarity returns
3. Check with your dealer for
more information.
1. If you are unable to maintain
at least 1.0 ppm, first make
sure there are chlorine tablets
in the tower areas of the Sparco
Chamber and it is installed
properly. If a correction was
made, test the water in 24
hours.
2. If still low, turn the dial up one
setting and test the water again
in 24 hours. Continue raising the
setting by one increment each
day until the proper reading is
achieved.
3. Shock the pool if the reading
has been lower than 1.0 ppm for
more than one day.
4. Make sure pump run time is
at least 6 hours on high speed
(40 gpm or higher) or if not,
bleed the air from the cap knob
each time cap is open.
5. Contact your dealer to have
your back pressure tested. If
under 4 psi, consider a smaller
eyeball fitting in the return jet.
6. Check for a suction side leak
by looking for air bubbles in your
pump basket or at the return
jet. Contact dealer for help in
correcting this situation.
7. Contact King Technology’s
Customer Service Department
at 800-222-0169.
1. If the chlorine reading is
over 3.0 ppm, remove the
Sparco Chamber from the
Sparco System and test the
water daily until the reading is
down to 1.0 ppm.
2. Reinsert the Sparco
Chamber, lower the dial
one setting and test the
water again in 24 hours. If
the reading has risen, lower
the dial one setting again.
Continue this process until
proper reading is achieved.
3. If over-chlorinating at
the lowest possible setting,
consider decreasing the
circulation time. Depending
on your pump size, you may
be circulating the water more
than is necessary.
4. Contact your dealer to have
your back pressure tested. If
over 8 psi consider a larger
eye-ball fitting in the return jet.
5. Check to see if the pressure
relief valve is loose or missing
and replace. It is a clear
plastic piece approximately
1” long installed inside near the
base. If loose or missing, it can
provide another avenue for
water to reach the chlorine.
