- Water Chemistry: Regularly test your pool water for proper salt levels (2800-4500 ppm), pH, alkalinity, and stabilizer. Maintain balanced water chemistry for optimal chlorine production and cell lifespan.
- Winterization: In colder climates, ensure the unit is properly drained and stored during winter months to prevent freeze damage.
Troubleshooting
The GeniLife App and the smart control panel provide alerts to help diagnose common issues:
| Issue/Alert | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Temperature Alert (<52°F) | Water temperature is too low for safe operation. | The unit will automatically shut down. Do not operate until water temperature rises above 52°F (11°C). |
| Sensor Malfunction | Issue with internal sensors. | Check connections. If issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Low Salt Alert | Salt concentration is below optimal levels. | Add pool salt according to pool volume and current salt level. Allow time for salt to dissolve and circulate. |
| Insufficient Water Flow | Water flow through the cell is too low. | Check pool pump operation, filter cleanliness, and ensure no blockages in plumbing. |
| Wi-Fi Disconnection | Unit lost connection to Wi-Fi network. | Ensure router is powered on and within range. Re-pair device if necessary. |
