If your pool goes off-colour
a. Check water chemistry
b. Check that the chlorinator is on position No. 5.
c. Check if the cell is clogged.
d. Filter must run 1 hours per day during summer.
The "Salt OK" light should be on. If any other light is on go to trouble-shooting table (10).
In the minimum/maximum indicator, 5 - 6 lights should be on. If this is all correct, then take
a water sample of the pool (± 1 litre) in a clean container to the pool shop for analysis.

• If values are all correct but this does not solve the problem, backwash your pool once
per week or at least every  weeks.
• In hot periods, run filter for a minimum of 1 hrs (preferably at night)
• Also change filter sand from time to time as sand can get clogged up.
• Pump must deliver proper pressure (i.e. the entire pool water must be circulated once
in a -hour period).
• Check that all gaskets are sealing properly in the pump and multi-port valve.
• Should electrode be more than  -  years old, have it checked out for correct
performance, especially when the add salt indicator remains on after adding 50-
100kg of salt.
Note: Never put any copper, hydrogen peroxide or metal-based additives in your
pool, as this can destroy the cell or cause metal stains.
To test if your chlorinator is producing chlorine, switch off the pump and chlorinator. Fill a
bucket with pool water. Remove electrode and submerge in the bucket. Place the blank
electrode (supplied) into the cell housing. Start the pump and chlorinator and run on
position 5 for 5 minutes. Test for chlorine with the test strip and a strong chlorine smell
should be present. To reassemble, switch off the pump and chlorinator, remove blank and
reassemble the chlorinator and run as normal
