SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Testing the Flow Switch, Cleaning the Filter Screen, and Cleaning the Bypass Valve

The flow switch is an important safety protection device. When water flow has stopped, it is important that the SuperCell be automatically turned off to prevent damage to the cell or system. It is important to verify the safe and proper operation of the Tri- sensor’s Flow Switch protection device. The following procedure can be used to verify the proper operation of the flow switch or to flush debris from the Bypass Valve.

1.Turn off the pump.

2.Slightly loosen the union nut just below the cell on the side of the manifold that does not contain the filter screen.

3.Completely loosen the manifold union nut that contains the filter screen and pivot the manifold to gain access to the filter screen.

4.Remove the screen. Clean the screen if dirty.

5.If the screen was dirty, then the system may need to be purged to remove excess debris. Leave the manifold off and run the pump for a few seconds until clear.

6.Wrap the strainer screen securely with a small piece of plastic wrap (saran wrap, food wrap or zip lock bag) as indicated in the diagram, place it back in the union.

7.Tighten the two unions that were loosened.

8.Reconnect the tri-sensor cord onto the tri-sensor.

9.Turn on the pump and the Pool Pilot. The plastic will stop water flow to the flow switch, which is part of the Tri-Sensor that is located in the upper portion of the manifold. (All of the water will be forced through the Bypass Valve. This will normally flush out any small bits of debris that are trapped in the Bypass Valve.)

10.The Control Unit should detect a low water flow at the Tri-Sensor and activate the red Check System LED. The Control Unit will also display the message “Purifier Off! Check Flow”.

11.If the Control Unit did not display this warning, then check the Tri-Sensor cable connections and inspect and clean the Tri-Sensor as outlined in the previous section. If the warning message still does not appear, then turn the Pool Pilot off and contact the factory or your local dealer for assistance.

12.Turn the pump off.

13.Loosen the unions.

14.Remove the plastic wrap and replace the strainer screen.

15.Resume operation.

SuperCell

The SuperCell may require removal for periodic visual inspections or for servicing when debris or calcium mineral deposits develop (the Control Unit displays the “Check System” light and the message, “Low Flow, Purifier OFF” or “Check Cell / Clean Cell”.)

Removal of the SuperCell:

The SuperCell is installed with Unions on each end to allow quick and easy installation and removal.

•Turn off all power.

•Detach the SuperCell cable from the SuperCell.

•Unscrew the unions at both ends of the SuperCell.

•Slide the SuperCell out of the Manifold Assembly.
