Troubleshooting Jandy AquaPure Error Codes

Jandy AquaPure saltwater pool systems deliver high performance and reliable sanitization for swimming pools. To keep these units running at top efficiency, the digital controls will display a code when something needs service.

AquaPure service codes identify the problem and direct you to an available solution. Below you’ll find a complete list of Jandy AquaPure service codes, what they mean, and how to correct them—all in one easy-to-read table.

Jandy AquaPure Service Codes

Code # Possible Cause Solution
120 Low current in forward direction to cell Clean cell if necessary and check DC cord
121 Low current in reverse direction to cell Clean cell if necessary and check DC cord
123 Extremely low current to cell Clean cell if necessary and check DC cord
124 Higher than normal current to cell Contact a pool professional
125 Cell needs to be cleaned Clean cell if necessary
126 Low current in forward direction and VAC input voltage below 100-200 VAC Contact a pool professional
127 Low current in reverse direction and VAC input voltage below 100-200 VAC Contact a pool professional
144 Low Salinity (below 2.0 gpl) Add salt to pool to achieve 3.0 gpl
145 High Salinity (above 4.0 gpl) Backwash filter if a DE filter is installed. Partially drain pool and dilute with fresh water until salinity returns to 3.0 to 3.5 gpl
170 Possible front board service condition or unit not correctly wired to 120 VAC Contact a pool professional
171 Possible backboard service condition Contact a pool professional
172 Flow sensor service condition or flow sensor is unplugged Contact a pool professional
173 Low VAC input voltage and on board power supply is not regulated or unit not correctly wired Unit wired to improper AC voltage. Contact a pool professional
174 Pool temperature is too high for operation of AquaPure Flow/Salinity sensor indicated water temperature at sensor above 108 degrees F. Reduce water temperature
175 Flow sensor air lock condition or very low salinity Verify proper flow/temperature/salinity sensor installation. Check salinity with Myron “L” meter calibrated for NaCl or test strips. Add salt as necessary

Level 2 Service Codes

Code # Possible Cause Solution
180 Heated sensor element not heating. (Generates 172 code) Contact a pool professional
181 Flow sensor temperature sensor failure. (Generates 172 code – flow sensor service) Contact a pool professional
182 Salinity Sensor sees less than 0.2 gpl of salt, no salt in pool or sensor air locked. (Generates 175 code – flow sensor air lock) Contact a pool professional
183, 184, 185, 186 Flow salinity sensor temperature probe error codes. (They will all generate 172 codes which indicate flow sensor service is required) Contact a pool professional
187 Front board power supply either too low or too high. (Generates 173 – Low input voltage code if Level 2 code 188 is present) (Generates 170 code if 188 is not present) Contact a pool professional
188 VAC input voltage is too low. (Generates 173 code if Level II code 187 is present) Contact a pool professional
189 Relay not conducting in the forward direction. (Generates 171 code – Backboard service) Contact a pool professional
190 Relay not conducting in the reverse direction. (Generates 171code – Backboard service) Contact a pool professional
191 High cell current (at upper limit of A/D converter) and cell voltage below 19V. (Generates 170 code front board service) Contact a pool professional
192 High cell current and cell voltage below 19V. (generates 171 code – Backboard service) Contact a pool professional
193 Measured significant cell current when SCRs were turned off. (Generates 170 code – front board service) Contact a pool professional
194 Cell Current is 85% lower than desired and cell voltage above 19V (Generates 125 code – Cell dirty or needs replacement) Contact a pool professional
195 Salinity invalid due to out of range measurements caused by front board error (Generates 170 code – front board service) Contact a pool professional

Additional Letter Service Codes

Code Condition Cause
EC External Control ORP unit or external controller has shut off chlorine production
Lo Low Temperature Cutoff Temperature of pool is < 50ºF (10°C). Chlorine production stopped
bo Boost In “Boost” mode unit will operate at 100% production for 24 run time hours
HH High-High Input has exceeded maximum range
JA AquaLink® RS Online AquaLink RS is controlling the AquaPure and desired output percentages
Jb Boost (AquaLink RS Interface) AquaLink RS is controlling the AquaPure and “Boost” is active
