T, Your salt cell will only run when you are in the Pool mode.. So between 7 am and 9 am, when the Pool High Circuit is on, the cell will be off.. (Just because it has pool in the name, does not make it the Pool circuit. In my mind, if the pump is running, you should be making chlorine, I...

2, I agree with Marty... 2800 sounds awful high to me also.. I run at 1200, but have no heater. With a heater I'd expect to run at about 1500 or so. Show us pics of your equipment pad. I would suspect that 6 hours would not be near long enough unless you have a very big SWCG and a very...

Steve, You should never trust what the Cell reports unless you have a good salt test kit to compare the Reported salt with the Actual salt level.. This is why your salt level was so high.. Anyone with a saltwater pool needs a salt test kit like the one I use... The Taylor K-1766.. Thanks...

05, If it is working now, I'd just leave it alone. Glad you were able to get it fixed.. :goodjob: Thanks, Jim R.

Alvin, I am not sure that the two things have anything to do with one another..... :scratch: Having two skimmers would not stop someone from getting stuck on the main drain. You really only have one main drain, it just normally has two separate covers or one very long cover.. I would get...

t, What is your current CYA level?? Thanks, Jim R.

Your filter is dirty... Thanks, Jim R.

Jason, Your folk's VS pump should be wired to constant AC power.. So, if you wire it to the same power, the cell will have constant AC power even when the pump is off.. Cells that have power, when the pump is off, is not a good plan. If the flow switch fails, the cell can actually explode...

786, You do it outside with a hose... I normally only run my robot two or three times a week, so I clean it after every run. Takes about 30 seconds.. Thanks, Jim R.

B, When you off-set the Intake valve, then when the pump is running, it will suck water out of the spa.. that is why it quickly drains down with the pump on.. Even without a heater, when you put the valve in the "Spa mode" all the water will be sucked from the spa and returned to the spa...

B, The Return valve is currently set up to send most of the water to the Pool and a little water to the spa, to cause it to spillover into the pool. You have to use the spillover as that is the only way fresh water can ever get in the spa. The Spa return line should have a check valve in it...

Hot, You have to use a Feature Circuit, let's call it "By-Pass" but you can use any name you wish. You assign By-Pass to valve valve A or B. (Where I used Waterfall on my system) You assign a speed to "Either Heater". (Pay no attention to the speed I used, it was just a test pic..)...

05, This is a classic sign of a motor shaft seal leak.. Have you replaced the shaft seal? The leak itself is not a major problem, but the leaking water will get into the motor bearings and then corrode the whole motor. There is a small hole under the pump to allow this water to come out...

B, The valve in front of the pump needs to be in the Pool mode or the Spa mode. You have it in neither... The Intake valve must completely shut off the Spa pipe when in the Pool mode, and completely shut off the Pool pipe when in the Spa mode. One or the other, not halfway in between...

ac, Where does the open pipe that is not connected to anything go? What kind of filter did you originally have? Do you have any pics of the original set up? Thanks, Jim R.
