Is there a grated cover with a pipe behind it by the skimmer opening?

Thanks for the info. I started with considering just having a sensor in order to check levels on demand, but then I started having other ideas to automate. Good to hear the pros and cons from others

Has anyone tried to add PH or chlorine sensors to their pool and tie into home automation? I'm curious what you got working.

Thanks again! Take care

Thank you for your help. So once PH gets back up to 8.0, retest TA to see where it holds? Which I should see the TA stabilize around 7.8, right? Then, add 3 more cups of acid, and retest TA and PH or just PH? For some background, I started lowering the TA because it seemed the PH was rising...

I have a SWG and noticed my TA was at 100, so I began adding muriatic acid over the last 3 days (3 cups per day) to bring the PH down from 8.0 to 7.2, while adding more aeration. Now the PH is at 7.2, the TA is 50. Is this going to cause etching and other issues or is 50 still acceptable for an...

The system would have the inspect cell and check salt lights on for 1 or more hours when the filter pump would start up for the day, then eventually clear as the salinity reading would normalize. Everytime I looked at the SWG it was after it cleared, so it looked ok. I did not notice it was...

As far as I know, it has always been wired this way. The board still shows the same product name and revision because it is an after market board, not a Hayward. It appears the original PCB was replaced at some point.

Please note: The problem is fixed. The system is operating correctly and without issue. When the flow sensor is open (does not sense flow,) it does not remove power from the SWG. It only prevents the system from generating chlorine, especially if you have the SWG wired to the LINE SIDE of the...

SOLVED: Aqua Rite SWG had power even when pump shut off. Noticed SWG cabled to LINE instead of LOAD power. The fix was to move the SWG to LOAD so it would turn off when the pump did. Now, the SWG does not continue trying to calculate salinity (which the system reads at 0 ppm since the flow...

What are you trying to determine? Set for AUTO Over the last couple hours: Average salinity went from 3000 to 1500 now (causing inspect cell and check salt light to illuminate) Water temp 84 to 80 Cell voltage 31.3 to 31.9 Cell amps constant at 0 Desired output constant at 100P Instant...

I thought it might be a generic board, but it is laid out exactly as the Hayward PCB (down to connectors, resisters, varistor, etc)..maybe someone reproduces after market, non OEM, boards that are the same. I changed the dial to 100% and the pump is currently off. I noticed the dial label...

I thought about that as well, but do not have or know someone who has a known good PCB or cell to test.

Installed 2004. Working fine about a month ago. I had to fix the flow sensor cable as well since a rat chewed it, and it worked fine for a little while. I tested the varistor on the PCB and it tests good...2 ohms.

Yes, I watched the test and it showed PASS. There were also a decent amount (decent amount per the guy testing it) of chlorine bubbles coming up during test. If it is a cell going bad, maybe it is intermittent and the test only took a snapshot when it was good? AUTO 1 Pool temp: 84 2 Cell...

Leslie's pool store tested the water, reads 3100ppm. Yes, the reading drops over time. I have an Aquarite system. As I understand it, the system normally displays an average salinity reading for the last 24 hours, which mine drops as low as 500ppm. When I recalibrate, that provides an instant...

My T-CELL 15 is only about 3 years old. System is no longer generating chlorine (inspect cell and check salt illuminated) because average salinity reading drops below 2300 each night. I recalibrate each morning and instant salinity matches what tests indicate, 3100ppm. It starts generating...

Regardless of what any test says the salinity is, the average is dropping to a level so low on the display that the SWG will not generate chlorine. It will not generate when the salinity reading on the display drops below 2300ppm. The instant salinity check matches exactly what Leslie's tested...

Does anyone know why the replaced board displays product name 88-0 and software revision r8.80?

FC - 0 CC - 0 (Added some shock since system was not generating) pH - 8.0 TA - 100 CH - 240 CYA - 60 Salinity - 3000 I have an Aquarite with a T-Cell-15 for a 15,000 gallon pool. The cell is 3 years old. I believe the PCB and display board may be the original (over 10 years old.) Over a week...
