Warning! Check / Clean cell
Problem
Conductivity of the water is reduced; usually caused by low salt, cold water or a scaled cell or a
combination of other issues.
Typical Solution
Check the salt level and adjust to between 3,000-4,500 ppm (mg/L) or verify salt calibration.
For water temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C), increase salt to 3,500 – 4,500 ppm (mg/L).
Remove and inspect the cell for white calcium scale. See "Servicing the Cell" on page 14.
Problem
The salt level may be below 2,800 ppm (mg/L) & temperature below 70°F (21°C).
Typical Solution
Increase salt level to 3,500 ppm (mg/L) or increase temperature on heater if applicable.
Problem
The cell may be scaled.
Typical Solution
Water chemistry related problem. See "Basic Water Chemistry" on page 43.
The Pool Pilot
®
may not be reversing polarity – contact your local AutoPilot Service Center.
Adjust water chemistry or adjust Set Reverse time to a shorter cycle.
If this is a new installation…
Verify that the incoming voltage matches the voltage of the Pool Pilot
®
. See "Specifications" on
page 6. /See "Electrical Connections" on page 29.
Problem
Cell Amps are low
Typical Solution
1.
Activate Boost, wait 2 minutes and then enter Test Pool Pilot mode through the menu. Write down the
salt level, water temperature, and cell volts and amps.
l If the volts are 24-26, then the problem may be caused by low salt, improperly connected,
disconnected or loose cell cord, water less than 65 °F (18.3 °C), a scaled cell, or cell near end of
life. Correct as appropriate.
l If the volts are less than 20, then contact AquaCal AutoPilot, Inc. for assistance.
2.
Installer: If the unit is configured for 230 Vac operation, then verify the input AC voltage is not 115 Vac.
Supply correct voltages or reconfigure the unit as appropriate.
