In addition the Microprocessor in the unit will retain some settings
permanently, in the event of the battery going flat or being replaced:
- Operating hours
- Cell hours
- Controller setting
ERRORS / WARNINGS
NO FLOW
Diagnosis: Insufficient water flow in the cell.
This could mean the circulation pump has ceased to function, or the filter
needs cleaning. The chlorine output will be turned off at this time.
CHECK SALT
Diagnosis: Salt level is between 3000 and 4000 ppm, depending on the
water temperature. Always maintain a salt level above 4000ppm. If you don’t
know what your salt level is or how to test it, consult your local pool care
professional.
OUTPUT FAULT
Diagnosis: There could be a problem with the power supply. Turn power off at
the power point and consult your local pool care professional.
