    The electrode can be calibrated using pH buffer fluids or liquids of known pH. It is recommended to calibrate pH using an external buffer liquid or pool water in an isolated container, rather than in the PoolCop itself. This avoids the risk of stray currents in the pool affecting the calibration sequence.

  • Page 63 Change the Pump Speed This feature is available with variable speed pumps only; for installation configuration see the PoolCop Variable Speed Pump Guide. Pump speed is linked to filtration and filter cleaning cycles; the speed can be changed by the user with the pump ON and this speed will be maintained until the next programmed Filtration Timer cycle commences or until the next filter cleaning cycle starts.
  • Page 64 Your PoolCop now automatically controls the pump and filter system to carry out a backwash and a rinse cycle based on settings programmed. The display will show progress and pressures as your PoolCop cleans the filter automatically. Once the cycle is complete, the system returns to normal operation.
