• The probe may need recalibration, please follow the instructions in your manual to recalibrate the
probe. You should recalibrate each of your probes every 3 months to maintain accuracy. If the problem
isn't resolved you may need to replace the probe.
• The low salt models of the Davey Lifeguard and EcoSalt2 are designed to operate down to 1500ppm
TDS, check if you have a low salt model.
• Add more salt to increase it to within the recommended levels.

• Check that your acid drum is not empty and your feeder tubes haven't been blocked or broken. Please
follow the instructions for the acid pump if you require changing the tubes.
• Check that your pH pump is connected in the back of the lifeguard unit.
• Your acid pump will not run if the pH exceeds 9.0, manually add acid to your pool to bring the level
down and ensure all other chemistry levels are within recommended levels.
• If your acid pump will still not run you may need to replace it, this is available as a spare part
from Davey.
• Your unit may need repair, please call your nearest Davey pool dealer
Lifeguard is not maintaining the chemical levels
• Make sure your schedule is set for enough time to allow for the Lifeguard to reach the setpoints.
Note: Always have your schedule set to allow for the pool volume to turnover 2 times per day minimum.
This will ensure that the Lifeguard has sufficient time to maintain your pH and Chlorine levels.
pH pump is running continuously
• Make sure your acid probe is correctly connected to your Lifeguard.
• If it is not connected, reconnect or follow the instructions in the manual to ignore the probe.
