Manually Testing Water Quality

Every two weeks the Pentair Home app paired to your
ChemCheck™ Water Quality Monitor will request a retest
of your water chemistry.
Refer to Balancing your Pool, page 2 for instructions on
manually testing the pool.

Cleaning the Prefilter

ChemCheck features an in-line prefilter in the inlet line.
The prefilter should be cleaned if debris begins entering
the cell reservoir or flow through the cell is being restricted.
If the filtration system includes a diatomaceous earth (D.E.)
filter, ensure both ChemCheck flow valves are closed
before adding D.E. to the system. D.E. will clog the
prefilter screen (2) and dramatically reduce flow through
the cell.
TO CLEAN THE PREFILTER:
1. Ensure all power to the filtration pump is turned OFF at
the circuit breaker. This will prevent unexpected start-
ups during servicing.
2. Relieve all pressure from the filtration system at the
filter air relief valve.
Failure to relieve all pressure from the filtration
system before servicing this equipment may result
in serious injury.
3. Close all system valves.
4. Unscrew the Filter Cap (1).
5. Carefully remove the Filter Screen (2) from the
Filter Screen Cavity (3).
6. Using a clean cloth or paper towel, wipe out
debris or dirt that has accumulated in the Filter
Screen Cavity.
7. Using a garden hose, carefully rinse out any
debris that has collected in the Filter Screen.
8. Carefully reinstall the Filter Screen into the Filter
Screen Cavity.
9. Reinstall the Filter Cap hand tight.

MAINTENANCE

Battery Usage and Storage
Requirements
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• When charging the battery, inspect the battery
contacts for any signs of corrosion or debris. Wipe
away any debris with a cotton swab. If battery
contacts are corroded, dispose of the battery at
your local recycling facility. Never throw the battery
in the garbage
• Only charge the battery with a charger and cable
specified by the manufacturer. Use of chargers or
cables not specified for ChemCheck may create a
risk of fire.
• After charging, always reinstall the rubber grommet
into the battery charging port. This prevents water
and moisture from entering the battery.
• Only use an original manufacturer battery with
ChemCheck. Use of a generic or third-party
battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Always charge the battery indoors between 32°F
[0°C] to 113°F [45°C]. Do not charge the battery
outside of this temperature range. Charging
improperly may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
• When the battery is not in use, keep away from
other metal objects. Metal objects may create a
connection between terminals, shorting the battery
terminals together and creating a risk of burns
and/or fire.
• Store the battery indoors between 32°F [0°C] to
113°F [45°C].
• Battery operating temperature range is -4°F
[-20°C] to 140°F [60°C].
• Improper use of the battery may lead to liquid
being ejected from the battery. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns; avoid
contact. If contact occurs, thoroughly wash the
affected area with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
seek medical help.
• Do not use a damaged or modified battery.
Damaged or modified batteries may operate
unpredictably resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive
temperatures. Exposure to temperatures greater
than 265°F (130°C) may result in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
• Never modify or attempt to repair the battery.
