Chlorinator Troubleshooting - Pool Pro CPP Series User Manual & Operation Manual

8. CHLORINATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

9.3 Green LED near the Soft/Hard switch flashing
Potential Cause
This is not a fault but purely an indicator
9.4 Low output reading on the Salt Meter
Potential Cause
Output Control Knob not turned up
Low salt level
Build up of calcium on the Cell plates
Water temperature is low
Insufficient water flow through the Cell
Cell could be damaged or at the end of
its life
Level low in 1 direction but OK in other
9.5 Sign of melting or burning of the Junction Box
Potential Cause
Screws not adequately tightened
during installation
9.6 Power Pack only works in one direction
Potential Cause
Faulty Rectifiers, Transformer or PCB
9.7 Ti mer Is not functioning properly
Potential Cause
Incorrect timer settings
9.8 Pool pump outlet not functioning properly or pump always on
Potential Cause
Pump not plugged into chlorinator
9.9 Cell not cleani ng, excessi ve calci um bulld up on Cell or Power Pack not changing direction
Potential Cause
Excessively high calcium, change of
direction time set too high or
faulty PCB
9.10 Low or No Chlorine Output
Potential Cause
Unit not working correctly
Unit not set correctly
Salt level is too low
pH is too high
Stabiliser is too low
Cell at the ends of its life
9.11 Timer loses time when mains power removed
Potential Cause
Battery life expired
This indicates power is supplied to the PCB and is normal
Turn the Knob clockwise,the reading should increase
Check salt level (sec. 3)
Calcium acts as an insulator and needs to be removed.
See Cleaning of Cell Electrode (sec. 7.2)
Winter water temperature can be very low. For every 1
the output can drop 2-3%
Check water flow and ensure a full chamber of water is passing over
the Cell. You may need to backwash your filter
Damaged coating will reduce Cell life and reduce output. If all conditions
are correct then Cell could be at the end of its life
Clean the cell (sec. 7.2) or Cell may have run its life in 1 direction
If melted then return for service, otherwise tighten as required.
Return unit for service
Make sure Timer Switch is set to AUTO and black lever in the centre of
Timer is set to time clock position and not "I" or "O". Refer to Timer
Setting in this manual (sec. 6)
Check pump is plugged into the bottom of the Power Pack and not
directly in to the wall outlet. Make sure you are set in AUTO mode and
not MANUAL for normal running
1. See Calcium Hardness (sec. 3) and adjust water accordingly
2. Change Water Hardness Switch to IF HIGH (sec. 5.9)
3. Manually reverse direction (sec. 5.2 - Cell Switch Changing Direction).
Failure for this to work could indicate a faulty PCB - return for service
Go through Troubleshooting from 8.2
Check basic settings such as Output Control and Timer running hours
Check Salt (sec. 3)
Check pH (sec. 3)
Check Stabiliser (sec. 3)
If full output is not reached then it could be a failing Cell
Replace Timer - return for service
