Message on Display Problem Typical Solution
Error! Purifier off
Error! Acid off
Check Flow Chlorine generation has
stopped due to
insufficient water flow. 1. Turn the circulation pump on.
2. Turn the control valves to the correct position to allow water flow
through the manifold.
3. If a suction type vacuum cleaner is used, then clean if clogged.
4. Check and clean the skimmer basket.
5. Check and clean the pump basket.
6. Check and clean or backwash the main circulation filter.
7. Clean the manifold screen of trash or debris. Testing the Flow Switch,
Cleaning the Filter Screen, and Cleaning the Bypass Valve (see pg 41)
8. Verify that the Tri-Sensor cable is plugged in. Plug it in, using care to
orient it correctly before inserting it. (Warning: Read warning,
instructions and see illustrations in Connecting the Tri-Sensor
Cable on pg. 15)
9. Clean the SuperCell if plugged with debris or calcium scale? (See the
sections under SuperCell on pgs. 41 - 42 for directions on removing,
inspecting, and cleaning).
10. Check for air in the manifold by loosening the top union on the cell to
see if air or water comes out. If air comes out then there may be a
vacuum side leak or the pump may be undersized. Check for leak at
pump basket O-ring, leaking valve or fitting.
11. If the pump is a 2-speed pump, is it on low speed? The low speed
may not create enough flow for the manifold.

salt level still shows
low. 1. The pool volume has not been set up in the Installer Menu and is
higher than the factory default of 15,000 gallons (56,000 liters).
2. The salt sensor in the Tri-Sensor may be dirty.
3. The Salt display may need to be calibrated.
No Error Displays
Salt level on display
does not match pool
store or salt test strip. 1. The test may have been faulty or the salt strips may be old or
damaged. Have your salt level re-checked at your local pool store.
2. If the discrepancy is more than 400 ppm (4 mg/l), then contact
AutoPilot Systems. If the Tri-Sensor salt blades are clean, then the
salt sensor may need to be re-calibrated.
