switching the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE. The Aqua Rite will run at maximum

3. "No Flow" LED illuminated

The Aqua Rite has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine.
Check that the flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the control
unit and that the wire is not cut or damaged. Make sure you have at least 12" of straight
pipe before the flow switch. If there is adequate flow and the LED is still on, check that
the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are pointing in the direction of flow.

INSPECT CELL A flashing indicator signifies that either the cell efficiency is re-
duced or that it is time for regularly scheduled cell inspection. In either case, inspect
cell and clean if necessary. When illuminated steady, cell efficiency is greatly re-
duced and the Aqua Rite has stopped producing chlorine. Inspect, clean or replace
if necessary.

can damage your chlorinator cell.
2. "Generating" LED flashing
The temperature of the pool water is too high or low to operate. You can override this by
switching the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE. The Aqua Rite will run at maximum
output for the remainder of the current pump cycle or 24 hours, whichever comes first.

3. "No Flow" LED illuminated

The Aqua Rite has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine.
Check that the flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the control
unit and that the wire is not cut or damaged. Make sure you have at least 12" of straight
pipe before the flow switch. If there is adequate flow and the LED is still on, check that
the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are pointing in the direction of flow.

4. "Check Salt" LED illuminated or flashing
Be sure that the correct model Turbo Cell has been selected (page 7).
Check salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is low, add salt according to chart on page 4.
Before adding large quantities of salt, it is advisable to have your salt level profession-
ally checked.

5. "High Salt" LED illuminated

Be sure that the correct model Turbo Cell has been selected (page 7). Table of Contents
Check salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is too high, lower salt level by draining some of
the pool water out of the pool and replace with fresh water. Continue until the salt
concentration is at recommended levels.
