Chlorine Output & Salt Levels (cont.)
3. It is possible that the displayed salt level can be significantly different from the actual
salt level (when measured through an independent test). This can happen as a result
of a dirty cell or from a cell that is experiencing the aging process. Low salt readings
should ALWAYS be followed by a cell cleaning first and then an actual meter
measurement of the salt level in the water. If the cell is clean and the level of salt
measured in the water is correct, then the cell has started to age, which results in a
lower calculated salt level. This is an acceptable situation, assuming the level of free
chlorine in the pool is appropriate. NEVER add additional salt in this circumstance.
4. If the free chlorine is not appropriate and the steps in item 2 have been followed and
addressed as needed, then the 'Desired Output %' needs to be increased in a 25%
increment (for example from 50% to 75%) to allow for the TurboCell to operate for a
longer period (% of total operating time)in order to produce a sufficient amount of
chlorine as the cell begins to age. Allow 24 hours and re-test free chlorine. Increase in
increments of +10% if required. Keep in mind this is assuming the chemistry parameters
are correct in the pool and there is nothing that is creating a significant chlorine
demand. Also, it is common to have to increase the chlorine output % when the heat of
the season, when a-typical temperatures are recorded.
