Good news and a question.
First, the good: My SWG has been out of commission this summer. Thanks to this board, I was 95% sure the "black disk" was the culprit, but I couldn't find anyone who would touch my circuit board - until today, when a good friend who is also an electrician came for dinner and brought his soldering iron. Thirty minutes later, my SWG was up and running! Saved me the $600 my pool company wanted to install a new board.
Now the question: when the SWG started working again, the Check Salt Cell light came on. I reset it, because the salt cell hasn't been generating chlorine this year, and that's what cause the build up. Right? The simple fact that water has been going through the cell doesn't cause build-up on the plates, does it? I assume it was just the automatic timer kicking in, but I wanted to make sure. (Regardless, we only have a few more weeks of swimming here in Minnesota, so I'm reluctant to shut the system down to clean it now.)
