I realize the cell is near the end of its expected life but if the cell is generating sufficient chlorine why do I need to replace the cell right now? Does the cell read the level of salt in the pool or is that done from the electronics within the Aquarite?

So I finally got the opportunity to bring the cell in to be tested. The cell passed the test and was making chlorine. Should I replace the circuit board next?

Thanks for the info. Having other pool issues and this moved to the back burner.

Thanks. Ive already replaced the brushes and tracks. And I have a set of bearing from the kit I bought. Looks like I need to get the drive shafts and engine assembly.

Thanks for the reply. I have already checked the interior, there are no obstructions or restrictions. I will try and reduce flow not going to the cleaner but it has quite a bit of suction at the inlet. I think the problem is the cleaner not the line.

Ph is back to 8.2. All I did was run the spa for 10 minutes at a very low setting. Getting frustrated.

Thanks Allen. The ph this morning was still 7.8 which I guess proves the point that the rising ph is from the spa spillover. I've since change the daily rpm I am using on my pump as recommended on another thread. I am running the pool at 1700 rpm. If I leave the spa valve halfway open at that...

I ran it at 2400

I have a 4 plus year old Zodiac. In my last home it worked just fine at about 2800 rpm attached to one of the pool skimmers. We moved and the new house has a working dedicated suction line for the cleaner. The first time I tried the cleaner it moved slowly at 2450 rpm. I checked to make sure...

So.. I checked the ph this morning when the pool started up and it was 7.5 I ran the spa twice for 15 minutes. Once at 9AM and again at 1215. I just retested the pool at 2PM and the ph is back up to 7.8

Rechecked water after adding acid. ph is down to 7.5 I'll recheck tomorrow with the spa spillover off and see if it maintains the ph. I also noticed the accumulation of a white powder in the spa. I don't see it in the pool or see anything when I brushed the pool. The pool has a pebbletec...

Today I tested the pump. I lowered the pump down to 1500 rpm without the No Flow light illuminating but at that speed there was no circulation in the skimmer basket. So I brought it back up to 1700rpm and there was flow although a little more bubbling at the returns. Also at that speed there...

I have a cleaner but I only run it weekly. What is a good speed to start out to see if the chlorine generation is sufficient?

These were the settings on the pool when we bought the house. They seemed high to me which is why I asked for recommendations.

It's in a cage, but it gets a lot of sun. Eventually I'd like automate it, but in the meantime I can manually run it in the morning and early afternoon. When I can't I will let it run at a small flow.

I'm new to my current pool and was unsure how long the pump should be running. I have a Jandy Pro Series CS Filter, Pentair Superflo VST Variable Speed Pump and a 10,000 gallon pool. Currently the pump is set to run for 6 hours at 2550 and then another 7 hours at 3000. Any recommendations?

No automation. But I can manually shut off the valve that controls the spillover. I had read it could cause a rise in ph but I didn't realize that much. I have added muriatic acid and shut off the valve. Let's see what that does. Thanks.

Yes it does.

I've been adding muriatic to get the PH down to 7.6 but the next day it is back to 8.2 Today after the storm the color was so dark that it was easily 8.2+ Here are the rest of my numbers. Ph 6 FC 6.0 CC 0 Cal 275 Alk 90 Salt 3500 CYA 40 I will add stabilizer to bring the CYA up but is it...

Thanks. I just received my test kit last month from TFTestkits so I am assuming the reagents are new.

I have been trying for the past several days to lower my PH. The test kit reads 8.2. Here are my other numbers for my 10,000 gallon gunite, SWG pool FC 7.0 CYA 60 TA 100 Ph 8.2 Calcium 300 Salt 3400 Pool Math says I should add 14 oz of 31.45 - 20 Baume Acid Only problem is I have added 16 oz...

Success! Thanks to all for the help. Explosion averted. Now on to the cell.

So I removed the cover on the sub panel. Pics attached. My brother in law is helping. He thinks because the clips on the upper right side were broken and you cannot secure a 240 breaker they wired both the pump and the SWG to the one side. Edited: He said he can just move the wires for the...

I have the CYA up to 55. My FC was 8 yesterday and today it is 11 so I turned the % down to 5%. We have company over. The pool is clear but is it safe to swim at that chlorine level?

I will Mike, as soon as the rain stops.
