Nature²
Nature² Benefits
• The Bactericidal qualities of silver reduce the amount of chlorine required to maintain the
pool. The copper inhibits algae growth.
• By Lowering the output of the chlorine generator, the pool water quality dramatically im-
proves and the life of the electrolytic cell is extended.

The Minerals
• Copper– inhibits algae growth, regularly sold as algaecides
• Silver– known bactericide, used for thousands of years to bacteria in water, milk, and on
skin
• Porous Alumina– releases silver and copper, assists in trapping nuisance metals, algae,
and bacteria

The Facts
• Copper is released into the pool at low levels (.02 - .06 ppm)
• Silver is maintained throughout the cartridge life (6 months at .01 - .05 ppm)
• Minimum pump run time is 6 hours, and can be run up to 24 hours

CHLORINE GENERATION INSTALLATION - CHEMISTRY
START-UP
Before starting a chlorine generator
• Balance the pool water
• Super chlorinate if needed.
• Add a metal remover.

WATER CHEMISTRY
• Free chlorine - 1.0 to 3.0 (Low of .5 is possible with the Nature² Fusion)
• pH - 7.2 to 7.8
• Total Alkalinity - 80 to 120 ppm
• Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer) - 10 to 100 ppm
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) - Less than 2000 ppm.
(Subtract salinity level to arrive at corrected level.)

WHAT AF F E C T DOE S pH HAVE ON C HLOR INE ...

T he efficacy of chlorine, that is, the power of it to have an effect, is greatly influenced by
the care with which the pH level is managed. As the pH of the pool increases, the killing
power of chlorine decreases. At a pH of 6.0, we'll get 96% or so of the potential out of
each lb of chlorine, but at what cost? S uch a low pH would wreck havoc on all of the
surfaces the water comes in contact with, including swimmers. It's just too corrosive.
Move the pH up to 7.0 and the efficacy of the chlorine drops to 73%, but raise it up to
8.0, where many a pool seems to drift, and it drops dramatically...down to 21%! At a
perfect pH level of 7.5, we can expect to have about 50% of the chlorine in the molecular
structure of hypochlorous acid, the active, killing form. The remaining half is in the form
of a hypochlorite ion, which is also an active form of chlorine, but very weak and slow to
kill.

 CHLORINE GENERATION INSTALLATION - CHEMISTRY
SALT
As a general guideline, the purer the salt the better the performance and the longer the “life” of the cell.
Calcium and magnesium are the enemies of the cell and cause scaling, poor performance and short-
ened anode life.
It is recommended to use food grade salt only with the following characteristics:
• Minimum 99.8% pure NaCl
• No added anti-caking agents
• No sodium ferrocyanides (aka - yellow prussiate of soda)
• Non-iodized.

WHAT THE LCD DISPLAY MEANS

50 or 60 - The unit is detecting the electrical supply to optimize the unit settings. 60 cycles power is the
US standard. If the unit detects 60 cycles, it will display the temperature in degrees F. 50 cycles is com-
mon in Europe.
CHLORINE PRODUCTION - displays the current production percentage rate for chlorine.
WAIT - the unit is still testing its diagnostics.
NO FLOW - the unit is still testing its diagnostics, or no water flow is detected.
FLOW - the flow sensor is indicating to the unit it has enough water flow.
LO - indicates the water temperature is less than 51 degrees F.
BO - boost cycle has been activated. Cancel by holding the POOL TEMPERATURE button down for 10
seconds.
EC - the unit is being controlled by an external controller or ORP device.
JA - indicates operation is controlled by a Jandy AquaLink RS or PDA, and is in AUTO mode.
JO - indicates operation is controlled by a Jandy AquaLink RS or PDA, and the system is in SERVICE or
TIMEOUT mode.
JB - indicates operation is controlled by a Jandy AquaLink RS or PDA, and the system is in BOOST
mode.

WHAT THE INDICATOR LIGHTS MEAN

CELL ON - Full power is being sent to the cell.
CELL RESTING - The cell is in the off portion of chlorine production cycle. Cycle time is 30 minutes. As an
example, when the chlorine production rate is set to 50%, full power will be applied to the cell for 15 min-
utes and then no power (CELL RESTING) for the next 15 minutes.
FLOW - The sensor is detecting water flow.
CELL REVERSING - Control switches polarity to the cell every 3 hours to help clean the plates. The cell
will rest for 3 minutes between switching of polarity.
ADD SALT - Salinity level is 2.5 gpl or less. Should be 3.0 to 3.5 gpl.
SERVICE - A service problem has been detected. The display will also show one or two error codes.
POWER ON - Power is being sent to the control and received at the User Interface Board

TROUBLESHOOTING - SENSOR INSPECTION
FLOW/TEMP/SALINITY SENSOR
The Sensor determines flow by comparing the temperature differ-
ential between the heated and unheated test pads. Salinity is
measured by the two “silver” test pads. These pads should be
kept clean to insure accuracy.
FLOW/TEMP/SALINITY SENSOR REVISION
Current Revisions are HX19 and JX 11
FLOW/TEMP/SALINITY SENSOR CLEANING
Once per year, or as needed, clean the sensor as follows:
1. Remove Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor.
2. Brush with a mildly abrasive green fiber household
cleaning pad. Contacts should be clean and bright
when done.
3. Thoroughly rinse the Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor with
clean tap water. Replace and resume normal operation.
4. Turn power off and back on to re-calibrate and reset

Flow/Temp/Salinity Sensor.

PROBLEMS:
• Failure to shut of power.
• Failure to indicate flow.
• Incorrect salt indications.
CAUSES:
• Broken or damaged wires.
• Calcified sensor(s).
• Failed electrical component.
• System not Bonded. Salinity Sensor Studs

AP 700 - 7 plate cell
AP 1400 - 14 plate cell

CELL PROBLEMS
• Needs cleaning, calcium buildup.
• No current at cell.
• Coating worn off of plates.
• Damaged due to low flow, freezing, broken
or cracked fittings.
• Shorted with foreign matter.

CELL CLEANING
• Clean the cell by submerging it in 4 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid.
• When bubbling quits, the cell is clean of calcium deposits.
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
• Do not leave the cell in acid for more than 30 minutes.

TEST VOLTAGE AT THE CELL

Turn power off.
Lift cable enough to slide test probes to the
terminals.
Touch common probe to the center terminal
and the other probe to either outside termi-
nal. Make certain cable stays in contact with
terminals.
Turn on power and wait for control to call for
chlorine production.
With the cell under full load there should be
22 to 28 VDC.
If the correct voltage is present, but the cell
is not producing chlorine, manually test the
water chemistry and salt ppm. Correct any
readings out of range. If the problem contin-
ues, replace the cord and cell.
After testing is complete, press the cable
down tightly.

CELL ON FLOW ADD SALT

LEVEL 1
120 - Low cell current in forward direction - check DC cord, clean cell if necessary or replace
cell.
121 - Low cell current in reverse direction, same as 120 above.
123 - Low to no current at cell - check DC cord, clean cell or replace if necessary.
124 - High current indicated at the cell - this usually means a bad PIB.
125 - Cell needs to be cleaned or replaced.
126 - Low current in forward direction and VAC input voltage below 100/200 VAC - check in-
put voltage, transformer and PIB voltages.
127 -Low current in reverse direction and VAC input voltage below 100/200 VAC - check input
voltage, transformer and PIB voltages.
144 - Low Salinity (below 2.0 gpl) - indicates the pool needs salt added.
145 - High Salinity (above 4.0 gpl) - indicates pool needs to be diluted.
170 - PIB service condition indicated and is usually caused by low incoming AC voltage -
check transformer voltages.
171 - PIB service condition - indicates board needs to be replaced.
172 – Flow sensor service - clean sensor, check for damage and replace if necessary.
173 - Low VAC input voltage and on-board power supply is not regulated - make sure unit is
wired with the proper voltage.
174 - Pool temperature is too high for operation of AquaPure (i.e. > 108°F).
175 - Flow sensor air lock condition or very low salinity.
LEVEL 2
180 - Heated sensor element not heating (generates 172 code)
181 - Flow sensor temperature sensor failure (generates 172 code – Flow sensor service)
182 - Salinity Sensor sees less than 0.2 gpl of salt, either no salt in pool or sensor air locked
(generates 175 code – Flow sensor air lock)
183 to 186 - flow salinity sensor temperature probe error codes. They will all generate 172
codes which indicate flow sensor service is required.
187 - PIB power supply either too low or too high (generates 173 - Low input voltage code if
Level II code 188 is present) (generates 170 code if 188 is not present).
188 - VAC input voltage is too low (generates 173 code if Level II code 187 is present)
189 - Relay not conducting in the forward direction (generates 171 code - PIB service)
190 - Relay not conducting in the reverse direction (generates 171 code - PIB service)
191- High cell current (at upper limit of A/D converter) and cell voltage below 19V (generates
170 code PIB service)
192 - High cell current and cell voltage below 19V (generates 171 code – PIB service).
193 - Measured significant cell current when SCRs were turned off (generates 170 code – PIB
service).
194 - Cell Current is 85% lower than desired and cell voltage above 19V (generates 125 code -
Cell dirty or needs replacement).
195 - Salinity invalid due to out of range measurements caused by PIB error (generates 170
code – PIB service).

PureLink Sensor Readings PureLink front board access

Test- Front Board

Disconnect the sensor from the front board for the
following tests.

1) Press and hold the test buttons marked Salinity

and R-Temp. While still pressing these test Salinity H-Temp R-Temp

buttons, press the ‘Salinity’ key (‘C’) on the front

cover of the unit. The LCD should read 2.8gpl. (±
.1)*
2) Press and hold the test buttons marked Salinity
and R-Temp. While still pressing these test
buttons, press the ‘Pool Temperature’ key (‘D’). It
should read 75° F or 24° C. (± 1°)

3) Press and hold the test button marked H-Temp. While still pressing the test button, press the
‘Salinity’ key (‘C’) together with the ‘Chlorine Production Rate’ arrow down key (‘A’) on the front
cover of the unit. The LCD should read 91° F or 33° C. (± 1°)

If the readings are correct then the front board is O.K. and the problem is with the sensor.

If the readings are different then it indicates that there is a problem with the front board.

Turn off power and replace the failed component. Restart the unit and wait for system diagnostics.
(Approximately 5 minutes).

*Note: In some cases the front board may have been recalibrated. This will show a different
gpl then what is listed. If the front board or housing has any markings that indicate it has been
recalibrated, contact Zodiac technical support at 800-822-7933. Otherwise replace the front
board.
