Lubricate the Acid Pump Squeeze Tube
Acid pump squeeze tube must be lubricated every
6 months or more often in commercial applications.
Use only the recommended lubricant RC Tube Lube
available from AstralPool or any other compatible
silicone lubricant, otherwise damage to the tube is
possible.
Depending upon usage, the squeeze tube may
need replacement after 12months on a domestic
installation, and earlier on a commercial installation.
Before replacing the tube make sure that any stop
valves in the filter system are closed. Otherwise water
loss may occur.
To replace the tube, remove controller drawer, remove
retaining screws from the pump head and pull the
tube free. Disconnect the squeeze tube from the barbs
and reconnect the new squeeze tube after lubricating
the same, making sure that the new tube is correctly
connected to the PVC tubing as per instructions.
Reposition the squeeze tube in the unit as before,
replace the pump head and retaining screws.) DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN THE RETAINING SCREWS.

Clean and Calibrate Sensors
The sensors are sensitive instruments. To maintain
their accuracy they should be cleaned and calibrated
regularly.
8.3.1
Sensor Cleaning
To maintain accuracy, clean sensors periodically with
a household detergent abrasive (Jif is the preferred
option).
The Chlorine Sensor tip can be contaminated
(generally observed by a copper or brownish coating
– this should always look shiny gold) which will give
a false reading to the Controller causing no dosing/
over dosing of chlorine. As the pH sensor tip is made
of glass, please take care, for even a hairline crack
can cause the sensor to read incorrectly causing
malfunction.
After cleaning the sensors, wash with water, allow
5-10min. to settle and check calibration or re-calibrate
if necessary.
NOTE: The chlorine sensor may take 30 to 45 minutes to
settle and provide the correct reading.
8.3.2
Sensor Calibration
Calibrate the pH sensor every 6 to 12 months.
1.
To Calibrate, Press MAINT and next until CAL appears
on the LCD.
2.
Select CAL to commence the process.
The pH probes/sensor has been factory calibrated.
However it is a good practice to check the adjustment
for the probe periodically (every 6 months or earlier
if required). The probe should be cleaned first (refer
under Maintenance page for cleaning) and allowed to
settle down for about 4-5 minutes before adjusting/
calibrating. The most accurate way to calibrate is to
put the probe in a calibration solution. Calibration
solution is available via AstralPool as a spare part.
Press MAINT and then next until CAL is displayed. The
unit will ask CHANGE PH CALIBRATION, select YES.
Select NO to Filter Pump on?
Section 9. Ai Mode
Ai Mode is complete automatic control of your Pool
& Spa. Ai Mode is a unique Patent Applied for system
that controls the filtration and chlorine levels in your
pool with three primary objectives:
• Completely turnover your pool water every day so that the
organic material which looks unsightly and which feeds algae
and bacteria is removed from your pool.
• Ensure the correct sanitizer level is achieved to destroy any
pathogens, algae and bacteria in the water.
• Minimize the cost of operating your pool and spa.
Ai Mode will automatically adjust operating times,
pump speed (when Viron variable speed pumps are
installed) and chlorinator output to suit the weather
conditions and bather load.
Priority one is to produce sufficient chlorine to make
the pool clean, healthy and ideal to swim in.
Priority two once the pool is clean is to reduce
operating costs by automatically reducing the pump
speed.
