Calibrating salt sensor on Pool Pilot Digital

Jun 13, 2013

Hi,
I am new to this forum, hoping to get help on the following:

According to the manual, the salt sensor can be calibrated through the Installer Menu.
Plus/minus 1000 ppm (1.0g/l)

When I select "Calibrate Salt" in the menu, the present salt reading comes up as expected.
BUT, I am only able to adjust up, NOT down.
I can adjust 2000ppm up, but 0 ppm down.

Anyone on why?

Thanks,

Kurt
 
Factory reset Pool Pilot Digital

Hi,

Is it possible to do a factory reset on a Pool Pilot Digital?
That is erase all user inputs and leave a virgin, "factory fresh" controller?
If yes, how?

Already tried to cut power, but the system, of course, remembers
life before the power cut very well.
Tried to search the forum, but came up with nothing
Thanks,

Kurt
 
Presumably because it was previously calibrated to the very edge of the available range.

By the by, calibrating the salt sensor is not usually such a good idea. The factory calibration is usually better than the accuracy of the commonly available salt tests, or to put that another way the salt sensor in the SWG is almost always right and the salt test is wrong more often than not. Certainly there are exceptions, but don't automatically assume your salt test result is correct and the SWG is wrong.
 
Re: Factory reset Pool Pilot Digital

Thanks for the quick response,

Yes I am aware of going through the menus etc. but I was thinking
that maybe the system picks up "bad habits" over time
and that a complete reset would purge all such things.

Thispost is related to my other post about not being able
to calibrate the salt sensor lower than the actual reading, only higher.

I understand - this was the reason for my post about
factory reset to get back to factory calibration..

Any ideas?
