Not Producing Chlorine
How many hours a day are you running the unit and at what chlorine level? Systems
closer to the size of the pool will need to be at higher run times.
Check salt levels and adjust to required level of 3500ppm.
Clean cell from buildup. Soak in 1 part muriatic acid and 4 parts water until foaming
stops takes to about 5 to 10 minutes. Might need to do it 2 or 3 times depending on
the buildup. Make sure to not stick anything in between the blades.
Test the water chemistry.
Are you losing prime? System will shut down to protect itself
Check Amps: If Amps and Volts are good, then the system is working.
Check amps by tapping Chlorine Level Button until all 8 LEDs are on.
Wait to allow the system to ramp up and then hold Super Chlor or Boost Button for 3
seconds until the water flow lights come on. The LED lights above Chlorine Level
Button will alternate back and forth with the ON/OFF LED.
How many LED lights are on with ON/OFF LED on and how many alternates with the
ON/OFF LED?
Example: 5 lights on with ON/OFF LED and 8 lights alternate with ON/OFF
LED = 5.8 amps or 6 lights on with ON/OFF Button and 0 lights alternate with ON/OFF
Button = 6.0 amps.
Optimal ranges for are between 5.8 and 6.0
Check Volts:
Check volts by tapping the Chlorine Level Button once, and the low salt light will come
on. The LED lights above Chlorine Level Button will alternate back and forth with the
ON/OFF LED.
How many LED lights are on with ON/OFF LED and how many alternates with the
ON/OFF LED?
Example: 1 light on with ON/OFF LED and 4 lights alternate with
ON/OFF LED = 14
18-20 volts good for 30K - Volt levels are based on 3,500ppm of salt. If salt is low volts
are higher than range and if salt is high volts are lower than range
Salt – 3500ppm to 4500ppm, Free Chlorine – 1-3ppm, pH – 7.2 -7.6ppm,
Alkalinity 80 -120ppm, Cyanuric Acid 50-80ppm, Phosphates 0ppm, Nitrates 0ppm,
Calcium Hardness 250 – 300ppm, TDS less than 1500ppm (after subtracting salt level)
