Okay, so turn the switch from Auto to Off for when the pump turns off for the evening?

Went from maybe 2300 Thursday and Friday and then after I did the acid wash Friday it was reading 2900 Saturday all day. When I checked this am shortly after the pump fired on the reading was 700! No I do not have a timer.

Yes, no flow comes on when pump is off. How about AQR940 or 4A20247-104121? Thanks

How do I know if it is running when pump is off? Listen for the "click"?

Here are my #s, etc. This was after "Recalibrating" based on the instructions from Hayward. Report all readings when you.. Move the switch from auto to off and check all of the readings 3100 80 32.4 0.00 64P -0 AL-0 r 1.59 -15 Move the switch back to auto and recheck the readings. 3100 80...

Got it. I'll post that but here is the info from the Hayward website I was following: How do I reset (or recalibrate) my salt reading? Be sure that the pump is running and the turbo cell is clean (buildup of calcium or debris in the cell can cause erroneous salt readings) and that the salt...

Thanks Allen. Are you looking for all of the readings as I press the diagnostic button? Or just the salt levels? I'm realizing I never "recalibrated" the reading on the system once I cleaned it. Found a YouTube video on how to do that. I never knew about this process perhaps that was my...

Hello, I measured my salt content and I’m at 3200 per my Taylor salt test kit. My Hayward was reading low so I thought I’d check the cell itself. Sure enough there was some calcium build up so did an acid bath to remove the buildup. That was Friday and yesterdays reading was normal but to my...

Yes, they did include salt and it was not Chlorox brand! The k-1766 is here and I was definitely on the low side so I added another 40 lb bag that they left me. I assume the digital readers on the unit are not very accurate?

Thanks mknauss. I've always tried to keep it between +.3 and -.3 but I guess with a SWG you want to stay at or below 0? My CH is about 440.

Day 2 of trying to lower my TA. Down to 90 from 100. I've probably added over 70 ounces of acid since I started. Finally saw it move down to 90 this AM. Hoping it turns lower soon. Been running the waterfall feature to aerate back up 7.5/7.6 then knocking it right back down. Is getting TA...

Hi - I just had a Hayward T940 Aqua Rite Salt System with 40K Gallon T940 Extended Life Cell installed last week. Trying to lower my TA to recommended range as mine current reading was around 100-110. I added the recommended amount of MA and got the pH from 7.8 down to 7.2. The TA is still...

Thanks all for the help. Much appreciated. Had the Hayward T940 Aqua Rite Salt System with 40K Gallon T940 Extended Life Cell installed last week and working on adjusting the TA and CYA to recommended levels.

Hi all, I am thinking about converting to a SWG as I can see the prices of bleach have gone up dramatically and after 10 years or so lugging bleach around I'm finally ready to make the switch. I received my first quote from a local company for a Hayward T940 Aqua Rite Salt System with 40K...

Thanks

Great question: No, we haven't been running it and have had very little use of the pool this week.

Hello Friends, Here are my #s today: FC 8.5 (No CC) PH 8.0 TA 100 CH 260 CYA 50 Here were my #s two days ago: FC 6 (No CC) PH 7.5 TA 90 CH 260 CYA 50 I've added MA (31.45-20 baume) three different times this week (maybe 8 cups) so I am totally lost as to why TA went up. It got the PH down...

Hi all, I've been debating for months and can't decide on whether to pony up the extra 3-4k to upgrade to pebbles from plaster. Is it worth the extra cost? We plan on staying in our house so we can say with somewhat confidence we are not moving in the next 10 years or so but you never know...

Thanks. They definitely leave behind a film in the skimmer (I've been watching my buddies pool and it's nasty).

That's what I'm concerned about. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm curious to see if anyone uses Cal Hypo pucks as a solution to chlorinating the water when they are out of town and can't manually add bleach for a few days. If you use them do you use a floater or a stick them in the skimmer baskets? The bucket I bought says to use the...

Seeing that now. I agree. It can't hurt.

I lost 1 ppm of FC last night. I guess I'll do a SLAM?

Water look terrific-FYI. Nice and clear no algae on walls.

Thank you all. I’ll check on the loss overnight.

Hi - I added bleach to my pool last night and checked the reading this morning. FC was showing as 12 and now eleven hours later it is 3.5. Is that normal. I live in the Dallas area. This was my reading this morning: FC - 12 CC - 0.0 Ph - 7.8 TA - 120 CH - 240 CYA - 50 That seems like a...

I'm noticing that now. Does anyone else use the 3 inch cal hypo pucks? If so, how do you use them? Thanks!
