to maintain chemical levels, not to balance a pool that is far out of acceptable ranges. With the
controller in the OFF Mode, turn the filter pump on and check for leaks in the system and flow
through the flow cell. The blue flow lamp will be illuminated if the controller has power, it is
connected to the flow switch and there is adequate flow. If a flow switch is not attached, the
flow lamp will be illuminated if there is a jumper in the flow cell connection (allowing the
controller to be used without a flow switch). It is recommended that a flow switch always b
used.

using water from the sample port of the flow cell, unless using preset buffer solution. It may
take up to 24 hours before the sensors acclimate to the system so recalibrate 24 hours after the
first calibration. The pH sensor can drift slightly over time and calibration will offset this drift.
The pH sensor should be calibrated every four to six weeks.
