1. if the pool has been overdosed with algaecide a reduced chlorine reading will result 14 greater people pool activity may reduce chlorine level Increase the chlorine output 15 16 dirt suspended in pool causes inefficient chemical action Add flocculants as directed if hydrogen peroxide has been added it will be impossible to get reading for 14 days There is a strong chlorine smell but no chlorine is measurable Solution 1 A strong smell of chlorine can indicate too little free chlorine in the water caused by organic matter Increase the chlorine output Eyes and skin become irritated Solution 1 Ensure that the ph level is correct Solution 2 Ensure that the total hardness is below 400ppm To reduce total hardness drain some of the pool water and replace it with fresh water l Dd g ENN NNA INTEGRATED POOL PRODUCTS Telephone 27 11 662 4300 Facsimile 27 11 662 4319 E mail info poolmaid co za Internet www poolmaid co za PO BOX 522 Muldersdrift 1747 South Africa2. your ultimate poolcare solution TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SALT CHLORINATORS No LED lights are lit There may be numerous reasons why the salt chlorinator LED does not light Kindly check the following in an attempt to isolate the problem being experienced Solution 1 Check that the 120 230V power supply is connected properly Solution 2 Check that the transformer is properly connected to the power supply see instruction manual diagram under section 4 Electrical Assembly Step 2 New models check that the red or green LED on the transformer is lit to ensure there is power Note this step does not apply to chlorinator models M5C S5C Solution 3 Check the 1 Amp transformer fuse and replace it if necessary See instruction manual diagram under section 4 Electrical Assembly Step 2 Note this step does not apply to chlorinator models M5C S5C Solution 4 Check the 10 Amp fuse on the power supply and replace it if necessary see instruction manual diagram under section 1 the Poolmaid salt chlorinator Note this step does not apply to chlorinator models M5C S5C Solution 5 For salt chlorinator models M5C S5C check the 1 Amp external fuse and replace it if necessary Solution 6 If the transformer s fuse continues to trip return the complete chlorinator unit to the manufacturer The cell housing 10 can be closed with the additional blank electrode holder 6 which has been supplied with your chlorinator
3. Note this step does not apply to chlorinator models M5C S5C Solution 7 For salt chlorinator models M5C S5C should the fuse on the power supply continue to trip return the electrode and power supply to the manufacturer The cell housing 10 can be closed with the additional blank electrode holder 6 which has been supplied with your chlorinator Low salt indicator light is on There may be numerous reasons why the salt chlorinator low salt indicator light comes on Kindly check the following in an attempt to isolate the problem being experienced Solution 1 Add salt For the M5C S5C models add 50kg 110lbs of rock or sea salt with mo additives such as iodine For other models add 100kg 220lbs of rock or sea salt with mo additives such as iodine The low salt indicator should go off within 24 hours of adding the correct amount of salt Solution 2 Check the cell and clean if necessary ONLY according to the method in the instruction manual under section 8 Cell Maintenance Note the warranty will become null and void if the electrodes are NOT cleaned according to the above procedure Solution 3 Ensure that adequate salt is replaced when filling or topping up the pool Check to see whether the pool is leaking resulting in abnormal water loss Solution 4 If the low salt indicator remains lit your electrodes may be faulty Cell off indicator light is on Solution 1 Make sure the pool pump is running Solution 2
4. Remove any debris in the filter s leaf trap Solution 3 Check and repair any air leaks that may occur on the suction side of the system Solution 4 Lubricate the O ring and replace it if damaged Solution 5 Ensure that the weir suction line is not blocked Solution 6 Ensure that there is water flowing through the cell Solution 7 Turn the electrode holder so that the gas sensor pin is located at the highest water level Cell off indicator light flickers Solution 1 Turn the electrode holder so that the gas sensor pin is located at the highest water level Solution 2 Make sure that there is no air in the cell housing by checking and repairing any air leaks on the suction side of the system Solution 3 Lubricate the pump O ring at the pump and replace it if damaged and check that there is sufficient water flow through the system and locate and repair any suction leaks Too little or no chlorine is being produced Solution 1 If the following values are NOT correct your chlorinator will not produce sufficient chlorine ph Gunite pool 7 2 7 6 ph Vinyl fibreglass pool 7 0 7 4 Total hardness less than 400ppm Total alkalinity 80 120ppm Salt not less than 4000ppm 4 grams per litre Stabiliser 80 90ppm When adding stabiliser please ensure that you backwash first then pour the stabiliser in the weir ensuring that the stabiliser passes through the filter first to avoid staining of your poo
5. l surface Please do not backwash for 4 to 5 days Solution 2 Ensure that the chlorinator is connected properly to the 120 230V supply Solution 3 Ensure that the indicator lights are on Solution 4 Ensure that the correct salt level indicator is lit Solution 5 For the M5C S5C models press the keypad until the high light is lit Solution 6 For models without temperature control press the keypad until the maximum output setting on potion 5 is reached Solution 7 If all of the above have been checked test if the salt chlorinator is producing chlorine by doing the following 1 switch off the pump and chlorinator 2 fill a plastic bucket with water from the pool 3 remove the electrode by unscrewing the ring nut take care not to damage the O ring 4 submerge the electrode in the bucket of pool water 5 take the blank electrode supplied and fit the O ring from your existing electrode to it 6 fit it into the cell housing and screw the ring nut onto the cell housing 7 start the pump and chlorinator running on maximum setting for 5 minutes 8 test for chlorine with a test strip or kit A strong smell of chlorine should be present 9 switch off pump and chlorinator 10 remove blank and O ring Reassemble the electrode and run as normal 11 12 if chlorine is being produced there may be a problem with the filter or sand filter 13 ensure that fertiliser does not enter the pool as it can absorb chlorine
