osmolator alarm

[ecvernon]

i had my osmolator for about 5 months. i moved my tank and had it offline for 2 days.
when i plug in the power cord the alarm goes off and the sensor is not up. The "too low" light keeps blinking and the "too high" stays steady while the alarm sounds.


what could i do?
Thanks
Eric

The usual causes are the controller got wet, or the controller is near an electromagnetic field, from a ballast or wiring or a large pump. I would test it in the kitchen or bathroom using a sink or bowl of water to operate the sensors. This would rule out EMF interference. If it still doesn't work, I would open it and check for water damage. If it is water damage it cannot be repaired.

Yes, that could be repaired.
