Yeah ... I have 6 gallons... probably enough for me and my neighbor to close our pools this year. Thanks for the link to review.

Thanks everyone for your input. The pool cleared up by August 15 and then, since it was cooler here in Buffalo, took another 10 days or so to get the FC down from 24 ppm to 12 ppm. While that was happening I repaired my SWG and got that running again through the calibration, etc. Ran the T-5...

Success. I chose to remove/replace the thermistor instead of snipping off and soldering to the existing leads. I made sure to have a soldering iron with enough power to heat and melt the existing solder in the larger heat-sinking pads. I bought a soldering kit ... but found that the provided...

Well, the Hayward diagnostic guide also said to test the transform output blue/white and grey/violet pairs for resistance... and, unless I'm doing that wrong, they were both 0 instead of the 2-3 ohms expected ... so it could [also] be a transformer. TBD. Thermistor first.

Got lucky that the unit was misbehaving on the bench today. Check out what happens when you squeeze a thermistor ... NOTE: Don't use your hand if the unit has been on for a while ... the thermistor gets too hot to touch under normal operating conditions. Others have shown use of a large clip to...

I wasn't testing multiple times for the results ... I was trying to figure out how to get a consistent and valid measurement by repeating the measurement when they didn't make sense. I'll be sure to take circulating measurements from now on for at least consistency on that front ... Thanks for...
