oh, right. thanks

Depends on how you add since formula weights of the two salts are different. If you add equal masses of both salts you'd only be adding about 20% more moles of chloride using magnesium chloride.

Slight scale, cleaned SWG element, NaCl at 4200 by chromate test, still running 100%

I’ve been in a similar boat this past week, almost 30 bottles (6%) and am thinking of going to dry calcium hypo...my water is clear and at low cc of 0.5 and FC of 4, using SWG, but still working on it.....never encountered this before in 20 years, but my CYA is higher than I have ever had...

Cc down to 0.5, FC drifted down to 4, water very clear, very enjoyable to swim (no smell, no irritation). I think I need to double-check my salt generator too. At 20 V and 5 A last time I checked should be ok but surprised not pushing FC higher. Salt level was acceptable by chromate test. Will...

And running SWG at 100 %.

Thoughts on using the bags of calcium hypochlorite to assist in shock? Pool now at FC of 8, CC down a bit to 1.

Thanks! Yes, bottom of pool easily seen. I will add more chlorine, thanks again! This CYA level really through me for a loop. I knew a hefty level was good but didn't realize the unintended consequence of needing more FC.......

I think the contamination I had was pretty mild. I have kids coming in a couple days so want to be a little careful so as not to have too high of chlorine. I tossed in more chlorine this morning. FC is now 11 and cc 1-1.5. Pool water quite clear. I'll do another test tonight and maybe add...

I added a total of about 16 gallons of bleach, FC was now at 5.5, CC at 1.0 using DPD-FAS. I tossed 4 more gallons in, water much clearer....will check later.

12 gallons of 6% so far.... - - - Updated - - - By “hurt” I meant since my CYA was higher than normal I assumed my FC level was still okay not knowing it needed to be higher to prevent growth at higher CYA.

Adding more chlorine...did I initially “hurt” myself by being near the edge of a good chlorine level by having a pretty high level of CYA....?

Update. I opened pool and got in. I must have some organic growth since the vinyl floor was a little slippery and water not crystal clear. I added chlorox to kill.

Will also carry out DPD-FAS test

I did toss in a couple of 1lb bags of calcium hypochlorite the other day to give it a little shock to see if that would help raise level.

27000 gallon, in-ground, vinyl liner water is clear pH 7.2 TA 200 salt using TFTestkit is 3800, by paper strip is closer to 3000 CYA 80 Cl 1 by Taylor R-0600 RC-52 SWG putting out 20 volts, 5.1 amps i have been wanting to keep my Cl closer to 3 to minimize risk of generating cloudy water. I’m...

New cell..setting 1 yields 5 DC amps. Case solved. I suspect the former cell body had a crack/leak since I had noticed a damp cell terminal....maybe I could seal leak or I'll dissect cell to study it. And, am not being charged for visit by pool company. Got cell from http://saltpoolguys.com/...

New trisensor wiring is good. I had my pool company come out to diagnose the continuing issue. Naively I thought they would be checking various voltages, amperage, ohms, you know, electrical stuff. What I got was cleaning my pump basket filter, cleaning the cell, and running test...

I had broken internal wiring in trisensor. At least that helps explain some of this

I saw nothing amiss in board. I took off the trisensor and it looked fine. I reinstalled and am in reverse mode for awhile..it reads 0 volts and 6.5 amps...and I get a "check flow purifier off" error. Screen is clean as all filters...I wonder now if I damaged the flow sensor wire connection...

Final update today... 1. I confirmed 220 volts. 2. I took off the main board and looked it over. Blew off dust and checked the 3 volt battery that does what I don't know. Sure I cleaned and checked it.. 3. I pulled the three terminal plug an tried to see if I could get some readings...

Even though no error messages right now another thread gave me ideas to check to determine if I have some type of a cell issue: 1. Double check to see exactly what voltage I have to unit. 2. Run test pilot program in boost mode. 3. Add salt to skimmer to see if I get a change in response for...

Re: Where is "power rating" for a SWG cell listed? I assumed it was 110 but looking at it hooked up it's 220, and the 1.5 Amps is checked. I run power level 2 but used 3 a bit. Was reading recently 28 V and 2.4 Amps on level 3 and 100% Purifier setting. I'm descaling now; Post...

I have an RC-52 cell reading 1.9A. I keep reading about comparing the 1.9 A against the Power Rating. My question is where do I find this number? I don't see it listed on the cell?? pete

Don't know if it's one piece or assembled.......I have a Pool pilot digital SWG and I have the horizontal check valve that is a white plastic pipe with the transparent plastic in the middle where the spring is.........anyway, I have a slow leak coming out where the transparent and solid plastic...
