Aqua Rite = Amperage

[polyvue]

My new Aqua-Rite is not producing chlorine. I noted on the diagnostic that the amperage reading was running about 3.21 to 3.45 which is lower than what is the proper operating level. How do you fix this?

Also, I found it strange that I had to go to the WEB to find our what the correct operating volt and amperage ranges are since the manual that came with the system failed to include them.

I don't remember whether I got this from the Goldline manual or somewhere else:

Cell voltage 22-25 v when chlorinating else 30-35 v

Current 4.5 - 7.8 amps when chlorinating else 0 amps

The amperage of your SWG cell may be within normal operating limits if the water is cold. On my system 50° F. water and lower levels of salt (~2500 ppm) will cause the applied voltage to read 27.17 volts 3.30 amps.

It seems that both Goldline and Pentair manuals tend to be a bit skimpy on content... very frustrating when you're trying to diagnose a problem with an error code that isn't documented or just attempting to establish a baseline for future troubleshooting.
