1st one lasted perhaps 5 or 6 months. 2d perhaps 4 or 5, a warrantee replacement. Gotta check the cell at Leslie's (not lots hope) and see if they will send a third. If not, I'm going for a Hayward.

It is a rebuilt unit from salt solutions. They have a pretty good reputation. There are many trouble-free pool users who've had great success with them.

It is about a year old. And yes it is the same cell I've been discussing here. Keep in mind that the cell doesn't operate when the water is cold so it's had perhaps 6 months of active operation.

ajw22 - thanks for the information. It turns out that's exactly what I was doing. When I turn on the pump and the delay is satisfied, the SWG will start at between 3200 and 3600 ppm (correct range) @~25 volts and 7 amps then quickly drop in several steps to 2200 PPM @~25 volts and 5 amps...

Thanks. I posted this and forgot. I'll report back tomorrow. ~~~~~ In the interim, the SWG keeps shutting down. I can restart it, but it shuts down again. My salt level is between 3300 (Leslie's) and 3600 (my Tailor kit.) Cell was cleaned three or four weeks ago.

I'm sure you can find a 24 volt transformer that will deliver the power you want. One can often find an exact replacement if you can read manufacturer's info on xformer.

Bump. Nobody home? This is a good question, my friends?

I am having great difficulty getting parts for my aquanaut-200, specifically the "Find 3, PVXS01SA-237-01 Upper Body, Blue Logo" I order and wait, and in a month they tell me they are out of stock. Is THAT customer service? Over and over again. Perhaps Hayward won't ever make the part again...

That was not the question, was it, sir? ~~~~~ I am trying to understand what problems 1/4 teaspoon of copper sulfate in the water fill well in an 18.5K gallon pool might cause. I find it hard to imagine that the pool will notice that amount of copper, especially as my pebble surface is...

At least I think it is a 4.45. I had a fouled SWG. Cleaned it. Plugged it in. "SALT LEVEL LOW" or something like that message. My salt level is higher than 3200 ppm. Tried to reset salt level, but the instructions in the PDF noted below don't seem to work...

There was a very small Palo Verde I thought was just a weed about four feet from the fill valve pit. That HAD to be the culprit. I burned it down at the base with a repurposed ice melting 40K BTU torch, along with any other weed anywhere near the valve. I cannot imagine that 1/4 to 1/2...

It DOES look like ROOTS! I can't imagine what, though, unless it is some pesky weed I neglected to pull. There are no trees nor landscaping anyplace around. As I mentioned before, this is the desert! How to get rid? I haven't looked at the results of the chlorine, but I would want to put...

I get about the same results with my Taylor kit.

Thanks, but I live in the desert. We don't have grass! The stuff is tubular, not flat. Never seen anything link it.

Went down to the pool and see minor water rising from my auto fill valve port in the deck. I open it up and it is filled with these stringy weeds. I grappled as many as I could with my hands and poured some chlorine into the port. What is this stuff and how can I get rid of / prevent it...
