    What could make my salt reading read way off?? Thought my cell was dead

    Well things have kind of gone from bad to worse, I dont know what I hoped to accomplish by taking the cell apart, now I have to try and realign the plates. I'm trying to take apart the control box now as well, I can hear something bouncing around inside. Only problem is that they used screws...

    What could make my salt reading read way off?? Thought my cell was dead

    I dont think its the water temp as it wasnt working earlier in the season when the water was 90* F, It produces chlorine until the system flashes that its low on salt and cuts the cell off. In my bucket test it sat there and ran fine with extra salt added in. I got my Taylor drop salt test and...

    What could make my salt reading read way off?? Thought my cell was dead

    See if this works, this is the manual: Polaris Autoclear Owners Manual.pdf - Google Drive I believe the optimum range is around 3250-3500ppm Yes i've been using it the past 4 seasons. It came with my house so I'm not sure how old exactly it is. Probably needs to be replaced soon, but appears...

    What could make my salt reading read way off?? Thought my cell was dead

    It really doesnt have any options for that. It's pretty basic, turn on/off, how many hours to run. Unless theirs something internally but I have never opened it up. I just hooked it up to the pool again. Pretty much immediately after it flips on it flashes the CHECK SALT light. The little test...

    What could make my salt reading read way off?? Thought my cell was dead

    Didn't want to bump a thread from almost 2 months ago: Cannot get my SWG to work properly (and selling my house!)!) I've been having trouble with my SWG. Thought it was dead.. Here are my notes, In the previous thread I was told my method of testing or something is up. That's probably true but...

    Code 91 after 4 hours

    91 is for low salt.... Not to go off topic but I'm also having trouble with my Polaris Autoclear.... Maybe yours is smarter than mine because mine does not display the salt PPM that i'm aware of.

    Best bang for your buck system? (replacing old system)

    Thanks, I'll look into those more. Im selling the house so I really dont want to spend a ton, but don't want to get the cheapest system either. I'll see if I can find some more specs on my current SWG, I feel like it did pretty good for not being very fancy.

    I guess my title kind of sucks too. Looking for recommendations on systems to buy if anyone could point me in the right direction.

    Best bang for your buck system? (replacing old system)

    Thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to check on the warranty. I have electrician friends, but have done some simple stuff myself in the past. With a pre-existing system in place I would think it wouldn't be too difficult to install a new one.

    Best bang for your buck system? (replacing old system)

    Hello, I posted a month or so ago about while trying to troubleshoot my SWG. ( Cannot get my SWG to work properly (and selling my house!)!) ) I've been pouring chlorine in manually but want to get this going before I close the pool (selling my house). I got some new "AquaChek 561140A Salt...

    Cannot get my SWG to work properly (and selling my house!)

    Thanks for the info. I probably typed the original post too fast, it was about 1800ppm before I added any salt. I'll probably take a sample the pool store and see if they can test the salt to get a 2nd opinion in case my test strips are bad, I'm not sure how the salt level keeps going up unless...
