6.3 Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause

What to do to fix it

Blown fuse

Undiluted chemicals added to pool or skimmer basket

Turn off power to control box, replace fuse and allow clean 

water to circulate through the system before switching on.

Copper level 

too low

Low conductivity

Excessive make-up water added due to leak in pool or 

equipment

Build up of scale on ioniser electrodes

Electrodes worn away

Pool system not running long enough

Refer to operating instructions

Repair leak

Clean ioniser rods and ensure that the chemical balance of pool 

water is correct.

Replace with new ioniser electrodes.

Refer to operating instructions.

Excessive 

build up 

on oxidiser 

plates

High calcium content (water hardness) in pool water

pH too high

Remove oxidiser cell and clean in 75% water 25% hydrochloric 

acid solution.

See section 1.1.2 Pool Balance -Adjusting water hardness.

Reduce pH. Refer section 1.1.2.

Oxidiser 

production 

display 

flashing “Pb”

The system has detected a lack of water in the 

oxidiser cell, this could be due to any of the following:

Air in the system.  Insufficient water flow.

Calcium build up on plates.

Purge air from the oxidiser and ioniser chambers.

Increase flow rate through the system.

Remove oxidiser cell and clean in 75% water 25% hydrochloric 

acid solution.

Oxidiser 

production 

too low

Low conductivity (TDS)

Build up of scale on oxidiser plates

Electrodes worn away

Refer to operating instructions

Remove oxidiser cell and clean in 75% water 25% hydrochloric 

acid solution.

Replace with new oxidiser electrodes.

Oxidiser 

production 

too low 

or display 

flashing “tP”

Indicates high operating temperature inside the 

control unit, the unit will reduce the output or 

shutdown to prevent damage.  This is most likely 

caused by obstruction of the ECU air vents.

Clear obstructions from ECU air vents.
