Look/Feel
Before removing chlorinator cover, check the following:
1. Is the pool pump on?
2. Is the chlorinator turned on?
3. Do the indicator lights function? (If NO, see Output Lights pg. 8-9)
If all of the above answers are “YES”, there is no problem with the chlorinator. Have the consumer bring a water
sample to their dealer for analysis.
4. Is the circuit breaker tripped? (see Circuit Breaker pg. 4)
5. LM2 - Is the output cord attached to the cell & the blue sensor wire attached to the sensor post on the cell?
(see No Flow Light Is On. pg. 10)
LM3 - Is the plug cap attached to the cell?
6. Can you see the cell producing? (it looks like effervescence)
7. Is there calcium built-up on the cell? (see Calcium Build-up on Cell pg. 12)
After checking the above items:
1. Turn off power supply.
2. Remove chlorinator from wall if needed.
3. Remove screws (4) to remove cover and check the following:
• Arethereanyvisibleburnmarks?
• Isthereanyvisiblewaterdamage?
• Arethereanyloosewiresorscrews?
