13.3 Lubricate the Acid Pump Squeeze
Tube
Acid pump squeeze tube must be lubricated
every 6 months or more often in commercial
applications. Use only the recommended lubricant
such as Hydraslip (part number 600118) available
from AstralPool or any other compatible silicone
lubricant, otherwise damage to the tube is
possible.
Depending upon usage, the squeeze tube
may need replacement after 12months on a
domestic installation, and earlier on a commercial
installation. Before replacing the tube make sure
that any stop valves in the filter system are closed.
Otherwise water loss may occur.
To replace the tube, remove controller drawer,
remove retaining screws from the pump head and
pull the tube free. Disconnect the squeeze tube
from the barbs and reconnect the new squeeze
tube after lubricating the same, making sure that
the new tube is correctly connected to the PVC
tubing as per instructions. Reposition the squeeze
tube in the unit as before, replace the pump head
and retaining screws.) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
THE RETAINING SCREWS.
13.4 Clean and Calibrate Sensors
The sensors are sensitive instruments. To maintain
their accuracy they should be cleaned and
calibrated regularly.
13.4.1 Sensor Cleaning
To maintain accuracy, clean sensors periodically
with a household detergent abrasive (Jif is the
preferred option).
The Chlorine Sensor tip can be contaminated
(generally observed by a copper or brownish
coating – this should always look shiny gold) which
will give a false reading to the Controller causing
no dosing/over dosing of chlorine. As the pH
sensor tip is made of glass, please take care, for
even a hairline crack can cause the sensor to read
incorrectly causing malfunction.
After cleaning the sensors, wash with water, allow
5-10min. to settle and check calibration or re-
calibrate if necessary.
NOTE: The chlorine sensor may take 30 to 45 minutes
to settle and provide the correct reading.
13.4.2 Sensor Calibration
Calibrate the pH sensor every 6 to 12 months.
1. To Calibrate, Press MAINT and next until CAL
appears on the LCD.
2. Select CAL to commence the process.
The pH probes/sensor has been factory calibrated.
However it is a good practice to check the
adjustment for the probe periodically (every 6
months or earlier if required). The probe should
be cleaned first (refer under Maintenance page
for cleaning) and allowed to settle down for about
4-5 minutes before adjusting/calibrating. The most
accurate way to calibrate is to put the probe in a
calibration solution. Calibration solution is available
via AstralPool as a spare part.
Press MAINT and then next until CAL is displayed.
The unit will ask CHANGE PH CALIBRATION,
select YES. Select NO to Filter Pump on?
