4.8 Resetting the appliance. Zodiac pH perfect
Add to My manuals20 Pages
Zodiac pH Perfect is a device designed to maintain your pool's pH balance, ensuring optimal water chemistry for your skin, eyes, and hair. It also keeps your sanitizer working efficiently. The pH level is detected by a sensor, and corrective solution is injected into the pool water as needed, keeping it safe and healthy.

4.8 Resetting the appliance
In the event of incorrect manipulation, it is possible to restore all the original pH Perfect functional settings.
Procedure for resetting the pH:
Switch OFF the appliance.
Switch ON the appliance by pressing simultaneously on the two “ p ” and “ q ” navigation buttons
(keep the buttons pressed until the message appears on the screen).
Select “Yes” or “No” using the navigation buttons, then accept using the “CAL/Enter” button.
All the factory settings will then be restored.
5. Care and maintenance of your pH Perfect
5.1 Changing the peristaltic pump tube
1. Remove the protective cover carefully drawing it towards you.
2. Position the tablet holder on “10:20” turning clockwise.
4. Position the tablet holder on “10:20” turning clockwise.
Insert the left-hand connection in its housing, then pass the tube under the guide of the tablet holder.
Turn the tablet holder clockwise and at the same time put the tube into the pump head up to the right-hand connection.
3. Fully release the left-hand connection keeping it stretched outwards, then turn the tablet holder clockwise in order to free the tube up to the right-hand connection.
5. Replace the protective cover (place the pin in the attachment hole).
5.2 Winterizing the pH Perfect
When pH Perfect has to be winterised, it is advisable to pump clean water through it in order to rinse the peristaltic pipe using the self-priming function and pressing the navigation button “ p ”
(see paragraph 3.1).
Next turn the tablet holder to “6:00”.
These two precautions will make it easier to restart the appliance.
Remove the pH sensor from its holder. Store it in its original cap or a cup filled with tap water. If necessary plug sensor holder.
Never leave the end of the sensor out of water!

8. Problem solving
Problem Cause Remedy
Displayed pH level doesn't seem to change
Problem with cable and/ or connector
Make sure that the sensor-pH Perfect connection is not short-circuited (between the central core of the cable and the exterior sheathing)
Make sure that there is no moisture and/or condensation around the BNC socket
The electrode connection cable is damaged
Check the cable and/or the BNC socket
The appliance always displays a high value or the measurement is constantly unstable
The pH sensor has an air bubble in the bulb
The pH sensor is worn
The sensor cable is too close to a power cable causing interference
Put the sensor into upright position and shake gently so that the air bubble rises back up to the top
Note:
The sensor should be fitted in a vertical position or at an angle no greater than 45°
Replace the pH sensor
Reduce the distance between the appliance and the sensor and/or place the cable elsewhere
Buffer solution is ineffective
Make sure that the solution hasn't expired
Check the pH buffer solution with a pH electronic meter
Impossible to calibrate
(error message)
Quality of calibration of the pH sensor
< 25%
Problem with the sensor’s porous element, dirt deposits
Make sure that the electrode bulb is in good condition, that it has not been allowed to dry out of the water. As a last resort, clean by soaking the electrode in a 10% hydrochloric acid solution
Check that the porosity of the sensor is in good condition (wash the sensor in an acid solution).
The pH sensor is worn
Check the pH buffer solution with a pH electronic meter
Slow response from the pH sensor
Static electricity on the pH sensor
Replace the pH sensor
During the calibration phase DO NOT WIPE the pH sensor with a cloth or paper, but after rinsing, shake it gently
