Thanks all for the answer, now I can point my jet up to get some aeration. :)

how does aeration affect PH? does it raise it or lower it?

to get it out of diagnostics mode hold the little black diagnostics button for a few seconds until it goes back to reading the salt level

Thanks for that info Chem Geek, i am definately looking into getting my own test kit!

like i was saying: i just checked it this morning at 630 and got around 3 via dipstick, i just checked it again when i came home for lunch and didnt get any color change on the dipstick.... i'm baffled:(

yea, im just concerned that it isnt generating enough chlorine to meet the demand during the 90+ weather in direct sun all day. When i first installed it 4 weeks ago i could get a FC reading at any point in the day(but like i said weather conditions were different then), now i only get one when...

@JasonLion: Do you still think it could be ammonia(or something else in my water) even though i am gaining FC overnight? If i check the water when i get home from work i don't get any FC reading via dipstick method, but when I go out and check the water the next morning (6-630 am) and can get a...

Yep our water is clear as crystal. I could read a newspaper at the bottom if it was waterproof :) Ill continue to shock and add bleach until it maintains a proper fc level.

ah yes the diagnostics :party: Sorry i forgot about them :oops: Temp: 89 cell voltage (should be 22-26 when chlorine is being generated) : 24.9 Cell current (should be 2.5-4.0 when chlorine is being generated) : 3.71 desired output: 100% instant salinity: -3000 prosuct name: AL-7 software...

yea i definately need to get my own test kit. :)

the cell is on 4 weeks old

dont get me wrong, your suggestion makes sense. i just dont want to keep dumping bleach into the pool if its really a faulty Cell on my generator. I mean i shouldnt have to run the thing at 100% 24/7 right? its supposed to be able to handle a 18000 gallon pool and mine is around 14750.

is there an easy way to test to see if i have ammonia? Also, wouldn't it be cheaper to just use the stuff like Turbo shock or is not as effective since you cant really measure it out?

i don't know the CC number. i don't have my own test kit as of yet since converting from Baquacil. i do have a "reliable" pool store that will test my water whenever i want for free but i don't get a CC number from them. i haven't tried an over night test with the generator off. i have shocked...

Here are my actual numbers: FC 0.2 Salt 3100 CYA 90 TA 75 PH 7.5 CH 100 I'll give you the diagnostics numbers from the machine when i get home from work, but when i checked them yesterday they were all within specs for it to be generating chlorine. :goodjob: Also, i am running the unit 24/7...
