Schedule automatic cleanings
The manufacturer recommends that a cleaning cycle is done:
• High range hardness, low range hardness and alkalinity analyzers—
once a day
• Low range ammonia and ammonia/monochloramine analyzers—every
12 hours
A cleaning cycle dispenses cleaning solution through all the wetted parts
of the analyzer. Cleanings keep the analyzer free of contamination
buildup.
Note: The auto refresh function is not used.
