Has anyone measured the resistance of their cell with it wet and the pump running? Mine shows 0 ohms (dead short) when it's in the housing full of water and I'm just curious if this is correct. It shows "open" when out of the water and dried off.

CYA is at 80-90 according to the Taylor kit. I bleached the FC up to 12 this morning and the SWG has been able to hold it there all day, albeit under clouds and on Super CL mode.

I ordered an SI-20 from Discount Salt Pool and received an SJ-30. I was told it was an upgrade by the warehouse (?). Upon installation, I the unit would not power on. I called support and they asked me to open the control system. We discovered that one of the internal power wires was...

Took the nuclear option - SLAMed the pool. CYA 80 PH 7.2 TA 70 CH 190 FC at 23.5 just after dark. 22.5 the next morning. I am confident that the pool is sanitized. The new cell arrived and I replaced the original. The whole system has been changed now. The cell voltage is still low at...

Checked for phosphates using a Lamotte kit. Looks like 300. Support says under 150. I tested my tapwater almost as high. Support dispatched a cell now due to arrive this week. That will mean the whole thing will have been replaced. I should have gone to bleach...

Called support back. They want me to check for phosphates. The person I talked to apparently had no knowledge of cell voltages.

I wish I'd bought the RJ now for all the extra data. Mine is the SJ - http://www.circupool.com/downloads/sj_20150516.pdf

Unfortunately, when I ordered an Si, I was "upgraded" to the SJ which has no readout. I was using my digital multimeter and testing inside the unit across the two leads that go to big plates in the cell. I can't imagine there being that much difference between how an Si and SJ cell works. I'm...

I received a replacement SJ-30 controller from the manufacturer due to shutdown issues at low (25%-50%) settings. The shutdown at low settings has disappeared but I don't think it's generating as much as it should. In SuperCL (boost) mode, I'm only able to raise the level 1ppm over 12 hours at...

I contacted the manufacturer and they were very helpful. He confirmed that there may be a problem with then controller and they're sending a new one. In the mean time I've been running the unit periodically on super CL. I'm able to keep the balance as below. How does this look? FC 5 CC 0 pH...

I did the installation work. Salt test kit is on the way :). The only indications of a problem are a solid Service LED and no chlorine production when on polarity 1.

Hi all. New to the forum. I have a new SJ-30 installed on my month old vinyl 16x32 15,700 gallon pool. I decided to switch from trichlor to SWG as we like the way the saltwater "feels". I dissolved 440lbs of salt and started the unit 24 hours later. Works fine on all settings but polarity 1...
