| Pool Cleanliness |
The Turbo Clean self cleaning system does not keep the pool
bottom clean |
Run the pool long
enough to ensure one complete turnover of water, typically 8 hours per day for the average
pool.
Adjust skimmer trimmer plate to allow flow through
both the skimmer and main drain.
Occasionally sweeping or vacuuming may be needed if debris load
is heavy. |
| The pool water is less clear than normal |
Clean filter.
Check water chemical balance and adjust as necessary.
After heavy use recirculate and super chlorinate the water. |
| Low Water Flow |
The pool/spa pump runs, but flow is less than normal. |
Clean Filter |
| Pumps |
The pool/spa pump won’t run. |
Make sure the pump
circuit breaker is closed and power is available.
|
The pump filter basket cover is difficult to remove.
|
Clean and lubricate
o-ring regularly. Don’t overtighten. |
Air bubbles in pump strainer basket.
|
Inspect basket cover o-ring and replaced if damaged. |
| Valves |
Water leaks out around the valve stem.
|
Tighten valve stem
packing nut. If leak persists, replace packing. |
The valves are difficult to turn.
|
Some tightness is
normal. Excessive tightness may be fixed by loosening stem packing nut. |
| Actuator |
The actuator won’t rotate or rotates erratically. |
Turn pump off,
remove actuator clamp and lid, inspect the gear train, replace any worn or damaged gears,
reassemble actuator and turn pump back on for normal operation.
|
| The actuator rotates slower than normal. |
Make sure the pool
valve upstream of the actuator is fully open.
Check the
skimmer basket, pump strainer basket, or filter for plugging. |
| Pool/Spa Heater |
The heater will not start. |
Make sure the pump
is running prior to starting the heater.
Clean Filter
Make sure that the flow to the heater has not been reduced by
plugging of the skimmer basket, pump strainer basket, or filter.
Remove the heater cover panel and inspect the inside of the
heater for any unusual conditions |
