Ok so as an update. I spoke to Circupool on Monday and they said the cell was probably end of life especially since it was reading a salt amount much lower than my Taylor kit. I asked how it could be because it was only 4.5 years operating 3 months at 40% and he said it could be water chemistry...

We definitely acid washed it (typically about 2x per season). It was only coming on here today to troubleshoot that I saw we shouldn’t. I can thank Circupool for that crummy advice. Ok then it sounds like the lifespan may be done which is really upsetting after 3.5 seasons. I’ll take it...

For the most part our pump is always on. It’s totally on me because my husband has “claimed” he told me to figure out how to set it on a schedule and I never have. So that would mean about 9.6 hours of cell usage per day correct? And if that’s the case I should be well under the lifespan for the...

So since writing this, the light is now just flashing lo salt (no longer cell maintenance). It’s circulating the added salt but still barely getting to a reading of 2400. When I first poured it in, it got up to 3200ppm and then tapered off again. So if the issue is just it not reading the...

We have a circupool RJ-45 that we installed in 2019. Things have been ok until this season. The system will run a few weeks and then the Lo Salt/Cell Maintenance lights come on and stop chlorine production. We clean the cell and then get a few more weeks. Yesterday after a week of no swimming...

The majority of the water finally receeded. My husband had to wet vac a bunch out and we were able to stretch the wall that came out back into place. Unfortunately there are a million wrinkles. It looks like we will have to replace this next season and add some sump put…no idea why it wasn’t...

Thanks to massive flooding from Hurricane Henri, our liner lifted. We’ve struggled with it lifting in the past (it did this winter), and just had it stretched back into place. At this point we will need to replace and install a sump pit but since that isn’t feasible until next season, is there...

Yes it’s worms, sand it looks like, sometimes leaves. I’ll reach out to maytronics and see if they have a solution.

I’ve posted about our dud of a robot before. I’m back because I’m struggling with it yet again. I have the A30 or (Dolphin s300). It’s not picking up anything in the deep end. It still is scaling walls and seems to be grabbing the majority of the dirt in the shallow end, but no luck with the...

Well he did it. We went with the Rheem Raypack and it should’ve been a fairly simple swap and rerouting of plumbing. But of course nothing is simple in our house. When he took away the old heater he found that there was actually no electric connected. At some point (and we have no idea how), the...

Yes except for the same prices as new ones it’s probably less efficient and maybe not built as well?

It’s not working :) When we bought the house we were told it was up to us to repair and we never felt we needed a new heater until this season so we just left it.

Ok this is what I’m working with

We do have a local plumber we use for stuff so that’s a great idea. And to clarify do I need the ck-valve since the comment after said no? I’ll post a photo if it helps.

Controlling locally. He’s totally confident in those areas. I think now it’s just a matter of us deciding which machine to purchase and to find the day to install. A lot of suppliers I’ve looked at seem to be low on stock.

That's where it is now so I that case I guess that's the most we can do to minimize impact. Thanks!

Oh wait one more question! Will the SWG impact the heater? Does it cause more corrosion or does having a SWG require a different heater?

I just looked and we have the Hayward H which I guess would be a fairly simple swap with the newer model. I'll have to have my husband look at all the specs in terms of what he would need to do. There is something wonky with some of the plumbing so he may want to adjust that too thank you!

This is very good info thank you! If I can save $2k it’s worth it.

I didn’t even consider the weight of it. But I’m glad to know that installing on your own worked. Did you still have an applicable warranty?

We have a 19yo heater. We knew before purchasing our home 4 years ago that it would likely need repair but didn’t feel motivated to have it looked at until today. The repair guy from our local company who we use for pool issues said while he could play around and get it to work, it makes more...
