POOR CIRCULATION
(Pool water gets cloudy.)

1. Clean filter.
2. Check valve positions.
3. Check water flow rate from pump.
4. Check pump sizing.
5. Contact pool servicer. Problem is not in PCS1 system.

HIGH ELECTRIC BILL

1. Check to see how many hours the filter pump is running.
2. Check the condition and size of the filter pump.
3. Wire the filter pump to the LX220 power relay and use a minimum runtime
timer to ensure that only a minimum filtration time is achieved. Place LX220
in AUTO. This combination maximizes solar collection and minimizes the
energy required to accomplish it.
4. Problem is not the PCS1. It only draws 1.8 amps maximum and its
energy use is easily determined within a range of $3.00 minimum to $20.00
Maximum per month depending upon local electricity rates. At 9¢ per
kilowatt-hour and 10 hours per day, the PCS1 will cost an estimated $11.00
per month to operate.
5. Have an energy audit performed.
