That posting from germy truth-do you know what the reference is for footnote 1?

needsajet you are right that is what I need but there are none of them around here.

1. You can't keep the cisterns full as the water is pumped into in and then shortly thereafter sent to the homes. With our system the pool must be drawn down to make room for hot water from the wells to heat it. 2. We have a park and clay tennis courts where water drawn down from the pool is...

As you can probably tell by my above post I am not the general in charge of running this pool. I am a user of this pool who hopes he can help in some way to make it run better. My personal concern with this pool is that it is too hot for me to swim laps. I feel like I am suffocating when I do...

Wow! Thanks for all the helpful responses. I am in Mexico where it may also be illegal but that is the setup we now have-so how to make it work well? We use the basic Interwater test kit. I always thought that we need a better one. I don't know if it would be possible to drop the pH down to...

I asked awhile back about using UV lights to sanitize our communal pool. It has now been done. Our pool is about 120,000 gallons. The water for it comes from wells that reach down to hot water (about 130° F). The pool has two large sand filters but no heating system. 3 to 4 times a week the pool...

I looked very closely at it this time before and after cleaning and still didn't see any scale. The lady that cleaned it said she could see scale but I couldn't. It isn't very obvious. Sorry if I threw you off. Since I could not see any scale I was thinking it might be something else.

I had it cleaned by a professional. She soaked it twice in acid and it is working fine now. Almost all the scale is gone.

I finally got the cord unplugged. It just needed brute strength-I was afraid I would break something. I'm getting too old for this type of thing. Thanks ping but when I saw your post I already had it in pieces.

I asked the local "expert" and she said the cell just needs a proper cleaning and to bring it to her. Problem is I can't figure out how to unplug the cord from the Aqua Rite panel (the cord that runs to the generator). Can somone please instruct me?

Thanks for the comments. I'm in Mexico so I can't buy from those places. How long one lasts I guess depends on how many hours it runs. I run mine about 2 hours per day all year.

I ran the chlorinator on superchlorinate this morning for two hours and it produced Cl! Maybe it just need cleaning.

I have an Aqua Rite electronic chlorine generator-T cell 9. It has been working well for over 7 years. It worked fine all winter but suddenly isn't procuding any chlorine. I have inspected it on a regular basis and cleaned it a number of times even though I have never seen any scale buildup. The...

Okay. I'll take your word for it.

So doing what you said will switch it back to how it was?

Thanks James. I don't understand why you say to do this; " Go to that in diagnostics and then move the switch from auto to superchlorinate and back to auto until it goes to AL-0."

My control panel was acting up so I reset the board as per the video above. It seems to be working fine but the sequence that the panel displays is now different. Before the salt reading was first, then the temperature, voltage, etc. Now the output is first, followed by the instant salinity, the...

Okay thanks again James. It is still working fine but I will watch it closely. I usually use Celsius but it has switched to Fahrenheit. I'm reluctant to try and switch it back for fear of what might happen.

Thanks again James. How do you know all of this? What you suggested seems to have worked. Going through the diagnostics -3100 cam about on the 5th push. Now it has gone down to 3000 with no minus in front. I hope ie stays like that. Do I still have to go in and reinstall the display board?

Thanks JamesW. From reading the manual I thought it might be set to the wrong T cell type. So I tried setting it to T 9 but... I should have realized that the E 15 was the cell type. I get confused sometimes-maybe I am too old to be doing this but I have to. I just reset if to T9 and it looks...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Checking the pins and thermistor might be too much for me. These all the reading; 1700 75 31.3 0.00 62P -0 RL -1 c 1.50 I'm not sure if that is a c but some small mark E -15 the top leg on the E is missing If I replaced the T 9 with a T15 is the length the...

Thanks robdac. So maybe the pool guy who said I needed a new Turbo cell was correct. I had no idea they had such a short life. I only run my system about 3 hours a day. I assumed there was something in the control panel. I'm still not adding salt but I am thinking about adding chlorine. I have...

I live in Mexico and have a salt water pool. I have a Hayward Aqua Rite Electronic chlorine generator that I have used for 6 years. The control panel is GL 235 and a GL Turbo cell T9. It was working fine until a few days ago. . When I first turn it on now the red light on the control panel...

Are you in the pool while you roll it?

Where can I see the reel that mas985 has?

How to you take it off and put it on the pool?

Of course. But previously the temperature on my solar controller and the digital water temperature reading on my Aqua Rite chlorine generating panel (right beside each other) were in total sync so it made life easier. I was hoping that you could recalibrate the temperature on the Solar pool...

Can't. The temperature I set isn't the same temperature that it turns off at. If I set it at 29° it turns off at 31°. I wondering if there is calibrating that can be done.

After having two different sets of technicians several times out it was decided that my two sensors had been damaged by lightening. They were replaced at a much better price-about $200US each instead of $1,200US each. They do operate the valve actuator when needed but the temperature isn't exact...

As I'm taking my cover off I have a hose handy and I hose off sections about 1 meter wide as they come out of the pool. Of course I'm careful to make sure none of the water from the hose goes into the pool.
