    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    All this stuff came with the house when I bought it 6 months ago. I am tempted to do research and try to do yhis. Would you recommend someone like me give this a shot? By that I mean someone whose electrical experience includes ceiling fans, etc. Or, should I hire someone? And should I call an...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Yeah, I have Intellitouch. As far as "how is everything wired" I'm not sure what you mean. I have a handheld unit that turns on pump, spa, heater and pool cleaner. The SWG is not controlled by the handheld unit. When I turn on the pump, the low flow light on the aqua rite goes off and the...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    I guess it is different. When my pump goes off, the no flow light turns on. The power light is constantly on. Is your power light constantly on? How can I tell if the aqua rite is off?

    Yep. Bumped salt level, but SWG wasn't holding average salt level... now it's working fine. Knock on wood.

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    It still appears to be working. I woke up this morning, low flow and power lights are on, salt level reads 3000. Seriously weird. I have been thinking about what I did differently the last time I calibrated the SWG. I'm gonna throw this out there, let me know if you think this crazy. I have...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Yes, I started it back up and the low flow light went out and Generating light came on. I let it run for 3 hours with pump shutting off at 0200. Woke up at 0700 and to my surprise the salt reading was 3100. Power and low flow lights were on. Turned on the pump and low flow light went off and...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Well, as expected I got home and the check salt and inspect cell light were on. The salt reading was at 800. I recalibrated the SWG (3000ppm), set dial to 100, turned on pump and checked amps and volts. Amps were at 5.79, volts were 24.7. I let it run for an hour, rechecked amps and volts...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Looking at page 8 of the manual you sent above, I have a flow switch. I have never seen the "No Flow" light turned on, with the pump running or turned off. I have also never seen the Power light turn off, pump running or not. When I get home tonight I will recalibrate the SWG and check to see...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    I just remembered that over the weekend I turned the pump on in the morning on Saturday, recalibrated the SWG, and let it run for 24 hours. It ran fine and generated a lot of chlorine. Then I shut it off Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night the lights were on... However, I will try to do what...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Yes, the lights are on when the pump is off. I have the pump set to run automatically starting at 9:00PM - 2:00AM. When I get home from work at 6:00PM the pump is off, and the check salt and inspect cell LEDs are on (steady). Same thing in the morning when I wake up. However, if I turn the...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    I have no way of knowing when the Inspect and Check lights come on. I guess I could calibrate it, let it run for an hour, shut the pump off, sit in a chair, monitor the lights and wait for something to happen... But even then I wouldn't have a way to check the amps and voltage right before the...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Hi mas985! Thanks for the reply. I did receive a T-15 Cell, at least that's what the sticker says on the unit. I will do this ASAP and report back, but I need clarification. What do you mean by "right before it shuts off"?

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Re: Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration I am beyond frustrated with this thing... I took a water sample to Leslies. The salt content was low (2500ppm). They recommended I add 3 bags of salt, so I added it. I still have to re-calibrate it everyday... When I come home from work...

    Aqua Rite SWG Not "Holding" Calibration

    Thanks for the reply... I have seen that document. I am confident my pool is at 3000ppm. Using the fantastic calculator on this site, I added the correct amount of salt. I did only check it with salt test strips, maybe I'll see if Leslie's has a more accurate test. The weird thing is if I...
