The Q1 is designed to allow the user to benefit from reduced running of the swimming pool pump by coordinating the operation of the pump with the timer on the Q1. If it is desired that the pool pump should be operating 24/7 then its power supply should... - Page 8 01 to 16 A value in the range of 1-16 indicates the current (in Amps) being applied to the Oxidiser plates. The Q1 control unit limits to a maximum of 15 Amps. When the Oxidiser Current Control is at maximum the display should show 14-16. If the display at maximum is below 14-16 amps this is either due to low TDS levels or a high internal temperature.
