Operations and Maintenance
easy-to-read Indicator lights
The Rain Bird ACS device has two lights on the power supply box . The solid “ON” green light indicates
that the Power Supply is receiving electricity . The blinking green light indicates that your transducer
is connected properly to the Power Suppy and receiving power to produce the ultrasonic waves . This
indicator light requires positive feedback from the transducer in the water and shows you that the Rain
Bird device is working properly . It will blink every other second on average .
check that the power supply lights are lit
Blinking Green Light
= Transducer is receiving power to
generate ultrasonic waves .
Solid Green Light
= Power Supply is receiving electricity .
To operate effectively, the Rain Bird
®
Algae Control System must be on 24-hours-a-day continuously emitting
algae-killing ultrasonic waves .
what to expect
You will begin to see results from within a few days to three weeks, depending on the type of algae and how
much algae was established in your water site . In addition, while certain algae will sink to the bottom when
killed, some forms turn brown and float on the surface in matts of dead algae . If this occurs,
you
should then
remove it from the water.
Secondary blooms may occur due to the sunlight that can now reach the algae
spores on the bottom that previously had not received sufficient sunlight to grow . Leave your device in the
water and it will control the secondary bloom as well . This kill/bloom sequence may repeat two or three
times as the “reservoir” of spores is exhausted . After that, the water should stay clear . Occasionally, after major
rain events, you may experience algae blooms caused by large amounts of algae spores being washed into
your water site . Depending on the amount of algae in the bloom, it can take a couple of days to a week for
the Rain Bird Algae Control System to bring the algae under control and clear the water .
