That posting from germy truth-do you know what the reference is for footnote 1?

needsajet you are right that is what I need but there are none of them around here.

1. You can't keep the cisterns full as the water is pumped into in and then shortly thereafter sent to the homes. With our system the pool must be drawn down to make room for hot water from the wells to heat it. 2. We have a park and clay tennis courts where water drawn down from the pool is...

As you can probably tell by my above post I am not the general in charge of running this pool. I am a user of this pool who hopes he can help in some way to make it run better. My personal concern with this pool is that it is too hot for me to swim laps. I feel like I am suffocating when I do...

Wow! Thanks for all the helpful responses. I am in Mexico where it may also be illegal but that is the setup we now have-so how to make it work well? We use the basic Interwater test kit. I always thought that we need a better one. I don't know if it would be possible to drop the pH down to...

I asked awhile back about using UV lights to sanitize our communal pool. It has now been done. Our pool is about 120,000 gallons. The water for it comes from wells that reach down to hot water (about 130° F). The pool has two large sand filters but no heating system. 3 to 4 times a week the pool...

I looked very closely at it this time before and after cleaning and still didn't see any scale. The lady that cleaned it said she could see scale but I couldn't. It isn't very obvious. Sorry if I threw you off. Since I could not see any scale I was thinking it might be something else.

I had it cleaned by a professional. She soaked it twice in acid and it is working fine now. Almost all the scale is gone.

I finally got the cord unplugged. It just needed brute strength-I was afraid I would break something. I'm getting too old for this type of thing. Thanks ping but when I saw your post I already had it in pieces.

I asked the local "expert" and she said the cell just needs a proper cleaning and to bring it to her. Problem is I can't figure out how to unplug the cord from the Aqua Rite panel (the cord that runs to the generator). Can somone please instruct me?

Thanks for the comments. I'm in Mexico so I can't buy from those places. How long one lasts I guess depends on how many hours it runs. I run mine about 2 hours per day all year.

I ran the chlorinator on superchlorinate this morning for two hours and it produced Cl! Maybe it just need cleaning.

I have an Aqua Rite electronic chlorine generator-T cell 9. It has been working well for over 7 years. It worked fine all winter but suddenly isn't procuding any chlorine. I have inspected it on a regular basis and cleaned it a number of times even though I have never seen any scale buildup. The...

Okay. I'll take your word for it.

So doing what you said will switch it back to how it was?
