What should my salt cell be set at?
Try to maintain a consistent salt level of between 2,700 parts per million (ppm) and 3,400 ppm, with 3,200 ppm being ideal. Clean the chlorinator cell at least once a season or as needed. During lightning storms, turn off the chlorinator to reduce the risk of power surges that could damage the control board.
How do I reset my salt system?
To reset, move the switch to ‘Off’ and then back to ‘Auto’. Wait for the relay to click (5 to 10 seconds). When the instant salt level is stable (and the negative sign still present), slide switch to ‘Super Chlorinate’ and back to ‘Auto’. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to settle back on the default reading.
How do I know if my salt cell is working?
The easiest way to be certain if the chlorinator is working is to make sure the cell is clean by checking the needle or production lights on the chlorinator box. When operating, you should also see bubbles (hypochlorite gas) inside the chamber, producing what looks like cloudy water – that’s chlorine being created!
How do I reset my Aqua Trol salt generator?
To reset, turn the unit to Off and then back to Auto. Wait for the relay to click (5 to 10 seconds). Desired Output % Dial 1 to 100% sets the level of cell operation in % of operating time.. Example: 50% (factory default) cell is operating and generating chlorine 50% of the total pump/filter operating time.
What should my chlorinator read?
2700-3400 ppm is the idea recommended levels. However, the reading can go up to 4000 ppm before the Hi Salt light appears. The unit will still produce chlorine until the reading goes above 4000 ppm and the GENERATING light usually will go off.
Why is my salt generator not working?
The saltwater chlorinator needs a sufficient flow of water for effective operation. A dirty skimmer basket, clogged or dirty filter, and a clogged pump strainer, can cause insufficient water flow for the chlorinator to produce less chlorine.
Why is my salt cell light blinking?
If the “Inspect Cell” light flashes by itself it is an early indication that the salt generator needs a manual reset. Each cell is equipped with 500 operational hours and requires a manual reset once it expires. To reset the cell, hold down the “Diagnostic” button for 3-5 seconds.
Why is my salt pool not generating chlorine?
How do I reset my Hayward Swimpure?
If the Inspect Cell Light is the only LED light flashing, then you can reset it by simply holding down the diagnostic button for 3 seconds, then release. The Inspect Cell indicator will now reset and will later come back on after another 500 hours of use.
What is normal ppm for salt water pool?
2700 to 3400 parts per million
What is the Ideal Salt Level in a Saltwater Pool? One of the first questions many saltwater pool owners have is, “What should my saltwater pool levels be?” The correct salt levels for a saltwater pool range from 2700 to 3400 parts per million (ppm).
What percentage should I run my chlorinator?
We suggest you start your salt chlorine generator at 50 percent output and run it for a couple of days, then check the chlorine level. In a balanced pool, a good chlorine level is 1-3 parts per million. If your chlorine levels are low, you can raise the percentage, and if it’s high you can lower the percentage.
