6.8 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.
6.9 Sensors
:
The sensors are sensitive instruments. To maintain their accuracy they should be cleaned periodically by household
detergent abrasive like Jif. 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.
