Power Center	Houses transformers and control boards
Salt Level Indicator	Displays current salt concentration in ppm
Chlorine Output Control	Adjusts chlorine production percentage
Super Chlorinate Button	Boosts chlorine production for 24 hours
Menu Navigation	Access to system settings and diagnostics
Reset Button	Clears error codes and resets system

Installation Verification

Verify proper installation before troubleshooting.

Check cell orientation: Ensure proper water flow direction through cell.
Verify flow switch installation: Must be installed after cell in plumbing.
Confirm electrical connections: All wires securely connected to power center.
Check plumbing: No leaks and proper pipe sizing.
Verify salt level: 2700-3400 ppm for optimal operation.

WARNING! Always turn off power at circuit breaker before performing any maintenance or inspection.

Error Code Diagnostics

Common error codes and their meanings:

Check Salt: Salt level outside optimal range (2700-3400 ppm).
Check Flow: Insufficient water flow through system.
Check Cell: Cell requires cleaning or replacement.
Check Temperature: Water temperature outside operating range.
Check System: General system fault requiring professional service.

CAUTION! Do not operate system with visible damage to components or wiring.

Water Chemistry Management

Proper water balance is essential for system performance.

Test salt level weekly: Maintain 2700-3400 ppm.
Monitor pH: Keep between 7.2-7.8.
Check total alkalinity: 80-120 ppm.
Test stabilizer (cyanuric acid): 30-50 ppm.
Verify calcium hardness: 200-400 ppm.

Tip: Test water chemistry at least twice weekly during peak season.

Cell Cleaning Procedure

Clean cell every 3-6 months or when "Check Cell" indicator appears.

Turn off system power at circuit breaker.
Remove cell from plumbing using union fittings.
Inspect cell for scale buildup or debris.
Soak in diluted muriatic acid solution (4:1 water to acid).
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Reinstall cell and restore power.
Reset system and verify proper operation.

WARNING! Wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling acid solutions.

Seasonal Operation

Opening and closing procedures for seasonal operation.

Warranty Information

3-year limited warranty on electronic components, 1-year on cell. Registration required within 60 days of installation. Proof of purchase required for warranty claims. Professional installation recommended for warranty validation.

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No chlorine production	Low salt, dirty cell, insufficient flow	Test salt level, clean cell, check flow switch operation.
"Check Salt" indicator	Salt level outside range	Test salt concentration, add salt if low, dilute if high.
"Check Flow" indicator	Clogged filter, pump issues	Clean filter, check pump operation, verify flow switch.
System not powering on	Power supply, tripped breaker	Check circuit breaker, verify power at outlet, inspect wiring.
Low chlorine output	Cell scaling, low output setting	Clean cell, increase output percentage, verify water balance.

Reset Procedure: Turn off power for 30 seconds, then restore to reset system.
