1. Check the Temperature of the Water

• Low Water Temperature: The Aquarite system is designed to work best in water temperatures above 50°F (10°C). If the water temperature is too low, chlorine production will decrease. 

• If it’s too cold, the system may stop producing chlorine.

2. Check the Salt Level

• Low Salt: If the salt level in the pool is too low, the Aquarite system won’t be able to produce chlorine efficiently. 

What to do: Test the salt level using a salt tester or test strips. The optimal range is usually between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million), depending on your specific Aquarite model. Add salt if necessary and wait 24-48 hours for the salt to dissolve fully.How To Re calibrate The Average Salt Level

1. To reset your average salt level, turn the unit to OFF and then back to AUTO. Wait for the relay to click (5 to 10 seconds).
2. After the click, immediately push the diagnostic button 5 times to begin the recalibration stage.
3. Once it finishes calibrating, cycle the Main Switch from AUTO to SUPER CHLORINATE and back to AUTO.

Measure your cell’s polarity to ensure they meet system parameters.

If the amps show a reading that isn’t within range, then you should replace your Turbo Cell.

dirty or Corroded Salt Cell: A dirty or corroded salt cell can reduce chlorine production. Minerals and calcium buildup can impede the cell’s ability to generate chlorine. 

• What to do: Turn off the power to the system, remove the salt cell, and inspect it for calcium buildup. If it looks dirty, clean it according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually with a mild acid solution like diluted muriatic acid).
• Check for damage: If the cell is cracked, damaged, or excessively corroded, it will need to be replaced.

5. Verify System Settings and Output

• Check Output Settings: Make sure the system is set to the appropriate chlorine output level. If it’s set too low, the system won’t produce enough chlorine. 

• What to do: Check the display on the Aquarite system to ensure that the output is set at a suitable level for your pool size and conditions. Adjust if needed.

6. Inspect for Error Codes

• Error Codes: If there’s a malfunction with the system, it may display error codes on the screen, such as "CHECK CELL," "LOW SALT," or "HIGH SALT," which could indicate why the chlorine isn't being produced. 

• What to do: Refer to your system’s manual to interpret any error codes displayed on the Aquarite system and follow the troubleshooting steps provided.

7. Verify the Flow Rate

• Insufficient Flow: The Aquarite system needs a certain flow rate to produce chlorine. If the water flow through the system is too low (due to pump issues, clogged pipes, or closed valves), the system will not function properly. 

• What to do: Check the flow rate and ensure the pump is operating at the correct speed. Clean any filters or pipes if necessary to ensure proper water flow.

8. Check for Power Issues

• Power Supply Issues: If there are problems with the power supply to the system, it may not be generating chlorine. 

• What to do: Verify that the system is receiving power. Check for any blown fuses, tripped breakers, or electrical issues. If needed, reset the system or replace any blown fuses.

9. Check the Chlorine Cell Lifespan

• End of Life for Chlorine Cell: Over time, the salt cell may lose its ability to produce chlorine due to wear and tear. 

• What to do: If the cell is old (typically 3-5 years of use), it may need to be replaced. You can test the output of the cell with a salt cell tester or multimeter. If the readings are low or inconsistent, replacing the cell may be necessary.

10. Ensure Proper Water Flow

• Pump/Filter Issues: A problem with the pump or filter can cause inadequate flow, preventing the system from producing chlorine. 

• What to do: Ensure the pump is running at full capacity, and the filter is clean and properly functioning. Check for any blockages in the pipes or filter system that might be restricting water flow.
