cated inside the wiring compartment. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the
grounding means provided in the electric supply service
panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to
the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
• One bonding lug for US models (two for Canadian mod-
els) is provided on the external surface. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding
grid in the area of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub to
these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than 8 AWG US / 6 AWG Canada.
• All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains, or other similar hardware within 3 meters of the
pool, spa or hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment
grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than 8
AWG US / 6 AWG Canada.

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 professionally checked.
5. "High Salt" LED illuminated
Be sure that the correct model Turbo Cell has been selected (page 7).
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.
6. "Inspect Cell" LED flashing
Be sure that the correct model Turbo Cell has been selected (page 7).
Table of Contents
OPERATION
General.........................................................................................1
Inspect and clean cell according to directions on page 8. When done, press the "diagnostic" button for 3 seconds to stop the "Inspect Cell" LED flashing.
7. "Inspect Cell" LED illuminated
Be sure that the correct model Turbo Cell has been selected (page 7).
Remove and inspect the cell for scale. If the cell is scaled, follow the directions on page
8 for cell cleaning. If the pool has the proper amount of salt and the "Inspect Cell" LED
is still illuminated, the cell may be worn and need replacement.
8. Possible causes of little or no free chlorine residual
- Aqua Rite® switch in OFF position.
- Desired Output % adjustment setting is too low.
- Low stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid).
- Filter pump time too short (8 hours for average size pools, more for large pools)
- Salt level too low (below 2400 ppm, Check Salt LED on).
- Salt level too high (High Salt LED on).
- V ery warm pools increase chlorine demand--increase Output %, or filter run time.
- Cold water (below 50ºF) causes Aqua Rite to stop generating (Generating LED flashing).
- Excessive scaling on cell.
- High level of Nitrogen in pool water.
- "Y ellow Out" or similar treatment recently used. Some yellow algae treatments will
use chlorine at a very high rate and deplete the residual free chlorine. Manually shock
the pool if indicated in the directions on the algae treatment. It still may be a matter of
days before the pool returns to "normal" and chlorine tests will show the desired 13ppm free chlorine reading.
9. "-Pcb-" displayed and all 4 red/yellow LEDs are illuminated.
A possible Printed Circuit Board fault has been detected. Call for
service.
