Can anyone help with Clormatic error code?

I have Clormatic CM III CM 601 and got an error code 186 that does not exists in my manual. I acid washed the cell, so it is clean. It also gives me error code 172 at the same time.
Any help is appreciated.

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.

Thanks.

It's the flow sensor.

I know that the manual mentions the sensor, but I do not see how it could go bad. There is not too much to it. I am just asking if the previous poster maybe replaced this part, did it fix the problem? I do not want to spend money replacing parts if that will not fix the problem. Thank you.

That was it! I ordered a new sensor and installed it tonight. The problem is fixed. Thank you very much.

Hi, I am having the same issue. Clormatic coming up with error code 172 and 186, the machine is 1,5 years old, cleaned it normally, and cannot see what the problem is. I will try to change the sensor too.
Thanks for the tip, hope it helps.

Contact Alphatech. They will help you with the test swithes on the Clormatic 3 to isolate the problem. error codes 186 and 172 were intended inhouse use only.

I have a Aquapure 700 system. Repair min two years ago replaced the front panel board. The system keeps beeping and giving code 194 yet can see nothing wrong with the system. Discovered they replaced with a Chormatic III front panel board. The manual instructions for the Aquapure state how to lower the alarm beep noise or permenately disconnect by the blue wire on J10.
However since this is a Chormatic III, those instructions do not work, and there is no J10 to be found on the board.

Does anyone have a Chormatic III manual in pdf form? Jandy does not have these available in print either.

thanks,
Mark

Mark if you are getting a reading from an instore water test of 3.7 and are getting an error code 145 does it mean bad sensor or just too much salt... seems funny that it is that sensitive?

Error 145 means the salinity is too high. This is consistent with high levels of free chlorine.

Someone mentioned alphatech in their reply.....how do I contact them??

Without knowing the state it is very difficult.

There may be a service center or dealer near you who can help.

I cleaned my chlormatic III generator and keep getting error code 121....but the plates are clean.
The lites I am getting are cell on, flow and cell reversing. It seems to be producing chlrine but I can't clear the 121 code. Anyone have any ideas.
