ALARMS

INDICATOR LIGHT AND SOUND

The safety warning sounds and alarm signals will not operate for the first 5 minutes.

THE NORMAL RANGE

When the pool pump is running the Chemigem shows a green light if the pool chemical levels 

are within the normal range. To ensure the unit is maintaining the pool water at the required 

levels, check the pool water on a regular basis with a good quality test kit.
The unit operates to keep the activity of Chlorine in the pool at a level where microorganisms 

are killed in about 1 second. For this to happen both the Chlorine (ORP) and pH must be kept 

within a fairly narrow band. (Refer to page 15)

OUTSIDE THE NORMAL RANGE

If the levels of chemicals move outside the optimum band the Chemigem will indicate this in 

two ways.

It will sound an alarm (provided the alarm is switched on: (Refer to “Audible Alarm” on 

• 

page 25)
The red light will flash at one-second intervals

• 

When the alarm is sounding and the red light is flashing the unit will also indicate on the 

screen the reason for the alarm.

This booklet contains sections on what remedial action to take should the warnings 

operate.
Pressing the HELP keypad will also provide immediate suggestions. If the unit is 

indicating that the chemical levels are outside the normal range do not use the pool for 

bathing unless the problem is resolved. Study the Problem Solving guide on pages 34 

to 36. Failure to take these safety precautions when the unit is indicating it is outside 

normal ranges may be dangerous, as outlined below: -

Low Chlorine means the water could be carrying live and dangerous germs

• 

High Chlorine will bleach swimwear and may irritate sensitive skin

• 

Low pH is acidic and may irritate eyes and skin

• 

High pH makes the Chlorine less able to kill germs
