If you supply a constant 32VDC 5 amp power source to the cell, where do you measure the voltage/current to determine the salt level? From where the power supply is INPUTING voltage/current? Or is there an OUTPUT wire from the cell? If the salt level is higher this allows more current to flow...

5 to 8 amps is the incoming current from the power supply to the cell? Or is that what is coming out of it? THANKS!!

I understand thanks! So, in learning how they work, what kind of current is being supplied when the salt generator is producing at 100% vs say 50%?

Honestly both. I don't want to make the cell, but I may would consider making a simple controller.

THANKS SO MUCH! That is an awesome read! So, if I understand correctly, to have the salt water generator produce chlorine gas, all it basically needs is: Either 30-33vdc supplied to its pins 1-4. It will work with VDC+ supplied to pins 1 and 3 and VDC - supplied to pins 2 and 4 OR it will...

I’m curious as to how the salt water generator works. Specifically the t-15 cell. My basic understanding is a dc voltage is applied to the generator cells which converts the salty water to chlorine gas. What voltage is applied? The current that is being produced by the generator is measured by...

Right now I’m looking at a celebrity 6 person hot tub. It comes with its on pump and heater, but it does not have the SWG.

Those connectors appear to be 2 prong molex like these...

I too use Alexa and either esp8266 (I haven’t upgraded to the newer esp32 which I should) or I use Alexa smart plugs to automate my pump/lights/irrigation. One thing you could do with the Shelly you are talking about above is find an old power adapter that supplies correct voltage/current for...

Hello all and thanks in advance for any help. I currently have a 16x32 in ground pool that has an inline SWG built in. It has always worked great. I am considering adding a stand alone hot tub to my setup. However, I’d like to covert it to salt water as well, and I can’t think of a reason why I...

To be honest, I’m not sure. I’m not looking at it right now, but the only adjustment that I can think of is the percentage of “power” the SWG is putting out. I assumed that once the pump went off the flow sensor “told” the main board to turn the SWG off. But I really don’t know how it works...

It’s a shame these drivers aren’t socketed! I have dabbled in electronics, but I am not sure that I can desolder the dip chip without doing damage to the board. To be honest, I am kind of liking having the ability to control the pump via Alexa or my phone. I can set the timer for the pump up...

Yes, there were actually 4 omron relays in the panel. The picture only shows two. I removed the other two. They were for the two aux switches on the board. They are all four are working. I can put 24v on the coil terminals of all four and all four activate. I am able to control the pool pump...

That is awesome help! I have verified that the large relays are good. I actually have a separate 24v supply connected to a “smart plug” (controlled by Alexa) that I can turn the relay (pump) on by turning the “smart plug” on which turns the 24v supply on and it works. So, I know the large relay...
