Getting the perfect balance of alkalinity and pH is always tricky because the acid will affect both but at varying rate. But you can do it if you follow this guide.   

What You’ll Need

Here are the things you will need:

• Perfect pool test kit – I would recommend you to get a digital water test kit. That kit will give you the most accurate reading to work with.  
• Aeration – Aeration is not a chemical or tool but a process that you will use to raise the pH while maintaining the TA. 
• Muriatic acid – The acid helps to lower both the TA and pH. You can use sodium bisulfate also, but this acid is more effective.
• Protective gears – Also, wear things such as gloves, goggles, long sleeves cloths, and other protective gears.

Nothing is more annoying than seeing an error code on your Jandy AquaPure that you have never experienced or know how to solve it. Not knowing the source of the issue makes it impossible to fix it unless you call a professional.  

That’s why we have looked at the Jandy AquaPure Code 170 to help you resolve the problem with ease. But let’s first look at Jandy AquaPure System.

What is Jandy AquaPure System?

The Jandy AquaPure System is a salt-water chlorine sanitizer that uses saltwater to provide high-performance water sanitation with hydraulic efficiency, reliability, and uncompromised performance. It depends on its simple features and sturdy design to provide you with a saltwater oasis. 

A salt cell is commonly used in saltwater pools. It is actually a part of the system that lets chlorine to be naturally produced instead of being added. However, this salt cell should be cleaned occasionally because calcium and minerals get collected on plates within the cell. You have to check the cell periodically to ascertain that it needs cleaning, and then use robotic pool cleaner for small pools or hot tubs. While there are many ways to clean salt cells, cleaning them with vinegar is an effective and easy method. If you don’t know how to clean a pool from debris and deposits, take a look at below tips on cleaning a salt cell with vinegar.

How to clean a salt cell using vinegar?

Before cleaning, try to check the cell for calcium and mineral deposits. To do this, turn off the power in the first place. Do not try to unscrew the unit when the power is on; otherwise, you may get a shock. Once the power is off, look inside the pool and check for debris on metal plates. If there are deposits, they will look light in color. You could also spot flaky or crusty deposits in the cell.
