Osmolator problem

southstar066 · 03/14/2010, 09:32 AM

My too high light and beep goes off when ever my osmolator is plugged in. I have had this for less than a month and it just started happening yesterday. How do I fix this problem?

Did you at any point disassemble the float switch? If so it may have been put together upside down. The float switch is what activates the too high light and alarm, also check that it isn't stuck or that a snail or crab hasn't climbed onto it. A magnetic field near the controller can also cause this by directly actuating the relay. Make sure the controller is not too close to the magnet holder or a ballast or large external pump.
