What does chlorinator off mean?
Page 21. 21. The ‘Chlorinator Off, Cell Sensor Open’ indicates that the system can not see a connection to the cell. Verify cell cable is not cut or damaged.
How do you test a salt chlorinator?
On the chlorinator box there should be a light or dial that indicates it is working. Take your test kit and place your thumb over the test tube. Then place it right into the eyeball and take the water. Test the water that water has just left the chlorinator – it should have a very high chlorine reading.
What to do if your salt cell chlorinator is not working?
If the control panel has no indicator lights, that’s a good sign of no power. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or GFCI outlet test button. Many salt chlorinators also have a fuse inside the cabinet, designed to blow in the event of power overload, or a lightning strike.
Why is there no chlorine in my salt pool?
More often, if the salt system is fairly new (only a few years old) we find that there’s nothing actually wrong with the system. The pump just isn’t being ran long enough or the chlorine output is too low, or the pool is not being shocked as needed. Oh yeah, salt pools still need to be shocked.
Why does my young pool have no cell power?
Like everyone else, I had the “No Cell Power” error on my 3 year *young* system — just out of full warranty — and was slammed with the prospect of having to shell out upwards of $500-$800 to get this manufacturer’s defect fixed so my pool could be blue via the salt chlorinator again (nasty algae ensued).
Why does my Hayward pool have no chlorine?
As a result my pool system could not generate chlorine from the salt system and the pool had turned green. Since Hayward’s customer service was closed for the weekend I turned to the internet for assistance.
