PROBLEM SOLVING
LOW CHLORINE ALARM
This indicates that the Chlorine level in the pool water is considerably lower than the level that
was set.
The Chemigem will restore the level by feeding Chlorine approximately every 3 minutes until
the set level is reached again (however feeding may be inhibited by one of the factors listed
below). As the Chlorine level in the water approaches the set level, the warning sound and
the red warning light will switch off, but the warning sound may be switched off at any time by
pressing the ESC keypad No.2. This sound will come on again the next time the pool pump
operates if the Chlorine level is still too low.
Low Chlorine levels could be due to the following:
Excessive bather load
•
The Chlorine drum is empty
•
Increasing the set level by a large amount
•
The filter has been off for a long period on a hot day
•
The Stabiliser level is too low
•
The pH is too high
•
The filter requires backwashing
•
The strainer (part of the pump) requires cleaning out.
•
Inadequate pool water circulation
•
The injector nozzle in the tapping band is clogged
•
The venturi system (if fitted) is clogged
•
A faulty solenoid valve
•
Multi-electrode (probe) requires cleaning (Refer to page 30)
•
HIGH CHLORINE ALARM
This indicates that the Chlorine level in the pool is considerably higher than that which was set.
Should this be due to an intentional overdose (super chlorination or shock treatment) it may be
some days or even weeks before the level drops and the warnings turn off.
High Chlorine levels could be due to the following:
Manual overdosing with Chlorine
•
The pH is too low (too much pool Acid)
•
Changing the set level to a much lower setting
•
High total dissolved Solids (TDS) level (above 2000 ppm)
•
Inadequate pool circulation
•
The solenoid valve is faulty
•
Multi-electrode (probe) requires cleaning (Refer to page 35)
