Hello, I am getting a couple of flashing light on the SWG display indicating that the "salt level is too low" and to 'inspect the cell". The reading is 2600 for salt level on the SWG. I just took a water sample into the store a few days ago and it was right at 3200. Would you advise adding...

Hello! My in-ground pool is configured with an auto fill valve. When we first moved into the house, it was running constantly. I have turned it off until I have a chance to replace the shut-off mechanism. However, when messing around with the auto fill, I noticed that the overflow is below...

Did the OCLT test overnight and I had a FC reading of 5 both last night and this morning. Here is the full test results: FC-5 CC-5 CYA-60 TA-100 CH-160 pH-7.6 Salt- 3100 Based on the results, I would think that everything is ok with the water. It is just a matter of whether or not the SWG...

Leak is fixed. Pump is running. I added 2 gallons of 6% chlorine. Doing the OCLT test tomorrow night. In the meantime, I just hooked up the new PCB board to test it out and there is a steady humming noise coming from the SWG box now. It appears to be a vibration between the LCD board and the...

Ok, I got the bleach today. Do I need to run the pump to perform the OCLT? I don't think it will be fixed until Thursday, so should I wait until it is fixed, or is it worth testing prior? Thanks!

Thanks. The pool isn't the slightest bit green and there isn't any visible algae growth. Would you still recommend the bleach? same amount?

How much bleach do you think I should use? I have about a 12k gallon pool. I will get a water test from the return asap. I just had a connector burst from the pump to the filter and it flooded the side yard. As soon as i get that fixed, I will test the water and post the results. ...not...

FC-0 CC-0 CYA-80 TA-170 CH-200 pH-7.8 (was 8.0+ a few days before I added acid) Salt- 3100 The diagnostics display shows this info: Temp: 78 Voltage: 25.5 Current: 5.97 Desired Output: 40% (however, I have had it set to superchlorinate, which adjusts to 100%) Instant Salinity: -3000 Product...

I ended up changing out the limiter, which didn't fix the problem. After that, I found the fuse which was broken. After replacing the fuse, everything seems to be working alright. The LCD is back on and I am superchlorinating now to see if the SWG is working.

New Issue: I had ended up adding chlorine, so I was waiting a week to get more accurate water test results for posting. I went out to check on the system, and the SWG now is not showing anything on the LCD and it doesn't appear to be on at all. I checked breakers and it is on the same circuit...

After about 6 weeks, the system doesn't seem to be generating any chlorine. I have steadily increased from week to week, and it has been at superchlorinate for 2 weeks now, and the chlorine is still showing nothing. The sensor and chlorine generator appear to be working alright, and there...

So hear is an update... I have since added 280 lbs of salt, a new salt cell, and new sensor. According to the pool store the salt level is at 3200ppm based on a water sample, while the SWG itself is saying that the water is only at 2600ppm and thus causing the "Low Salt" and "Check Cell"...

I took the old cell to the nearby pool store and diagnostics revealed that the old cell is bad. Also, with the salt content being so low, I have added about 200lbs of salt to try to get the water balance where it should be by the time the new salt cell arrives. I will test this out and...

My wife and I recently purchased our house last year with a built-in pool/spa that is approximately 12,000 gallons. After using chlorine all last summer, we decided to try to get the SWG running (which was already installed). After plugging everything in and turning it on, I had a steady "no...
