Problem
There are no warning messages on the display, but the chlorine level is too low. Water quality
looks dirty or cloudy.
Typical Solution
1.
The chlorine setting has been fine, but a temporary boost of chlorine is needed to adjust for heavy rain
or a temporary bather increase.
l
Press MENU/ENTER. Use the △ or▽ buttons to select Boost.
l
Use the △ or▽ buttons to choose the desired boost hours. Press MENU/ENTER to save
value and exit.
l The chlorine output will revert to the original setting after the selected Boost time has expired.
2. Check water balance. See "Water Balance and Chemistry Recommendations" on page 4. The
Cyanuric acid level may be low and chlorine is being consumed quickly by UV rays from the sun.
3.
The purifier output needs to be increased.
l
Use the △ button to increase the purifier output setting. Press MENU/ENTER to save the
change.
4.
Consult your local pool service professional and test for high phosphate levels. Use a product such as
Lo-Chlor
®
Lo-Phos
®
to reduce phosphates.
5.
If the water temperature is 55 °F (10 °C) or colder, the Pool Pilot
®
has automatically turned the Purifier
output down to 1% to avoid over-chlorination. Bacteria and algae activity is greatly reduced at these
temperatures so this should not be a problem. Hand dose additional chlorine if necessary, or a short
Boost cycle will override the temperature compensation feature.
6.
Obtain an independent salt reading to check the Pool Pilot
®
reading. Add salt, if needed, and re-
calibrate the Pool Pilot
®
salt display.
7.

fault. Contact AquaCal AutoPilot Customer Support.
Problem
There are no warning messages on the display. The chlorine level is too low but the pool water
looks fine.
Typical Solution
The test kit reagents or strips may be old or have been exposed to sunlight. Replace the kit or
reagents and retest.
There may be too much chlorine in the pool. The chlorine is bleaching the test kit reagents.
l
Dilute the water sample with distilled water and retest. Lower the chlorine output setting with the ▽
button if the chlorine level is too high.
Problem
Purifier % fluctuates from adjusted value.
Typical Solution
The AutoPilot
®
unit has a patented process for automatically increasing and reducing the
chlorine output as the temperature of the water fluctuates. It is normal for the output % to
increase as the water temperature increases, and to decrease as the water temperature
decreases.
