Here are the full FAQ's I found posted on their site from scanning the QR code on the unit... https://www.pentair.com/content/dam...lliChlor-Plus-LT-Salt-Chlorine-Generators.pdf

I see the minimum flow is now 25GPM. This stinks because according to my Intelliflo pump, I am currently running 21 GPM at 1200RPM. Hopefully this is not correct and I can still run at 1200 RPM to get the necessary flow.

They also upped the low salt warning to come on at 3000ppm, instead of 2800. Still works down to 2600 though.

Looks nice. Glad to see it has the voltage and current values displayed as well. That will help with troubleshooting. Wish they would give us the ability to adjust the salinity to a tested value.

My Intellichlor 40 lists the minimum flow rate as 25 GPM in the manual which is no different than this new series of SWG.

Lets see if the display will show reversal mode with a negative "-" when it cycles.

Check out that new acid washing kit. Pretty fancy.

The display updates every couple of seconds when its operating, it wasn't just a static point in time when on this screen.

Also the unit was able to detect flow (as can be seen by the green lights) with the pump running at 1750rpms, which is what I had to have it for the old unit.

Here are a few ideas for you:

Sleeve in the bottom of the pool:

Maker is no longer in business, but they made an S shaped post anchored in the deck:


Cobra may have a solution for you, might reach out to them...they may have already solved the issue:

What you can't see in my patch is that I reinforced the back side of it with vertical strips of the tape but made sure the seam of the front layer comes out to the center of the back layer. The back was also cleaned properly only to reduce the stretch factor of one layer on a very large patchwork which essentially is missing the middle of the liner since the liner was torn for a few years the lower part pulled way down with no return possible. The purpose was to curtail the tear going sideways which I think worked well here.

JCC...

Is it just the restriction, or are you trying to automate?

Restriction goes with the territory. I normally run 1400 RPM when heater is off. To get 35GPM flow required by the heater, I need to run 2200RPM.

Thanks...
I don't get it.
The image attached to my post is unreadable but the one in your reply looks fine.

How did you connect the antenna, in the Amazon picture it looked like a female connector on the antenna and the IAquaLink need a male connector antenna. Trying to solve the same issue.

I'm torn (too soon for a pun ?)

If the liner has some springyness to it, I'd go with the tape, probably reinforcing it with thin vertical strips on either side of the tape patch like below. Then I'd make the call if I wanted to leave it or patch over it.



But if the liner is real brittle with no play to it, I'd worry that the tape held mint but the liner cracked at the edges of all the tape. So then I'd go with the vinly patch that was more likey to give at the edges when when flexed from waves or if somebody hit it.

I can read the data plate fine….

Use the Gorilla clear tape which is made for under water too. Don't worry about trimming the patch and use it full width as this liner is begging to break more. Don't do a patch over a patch with this product as they clearly state NOT to. Make sure to have nicely rounded corners as square corners will pull up after a bit of time. Don't try stretching or pulling and just get the tape on it sooner then later. Prep is your best friend here for a good outcome. I used a damp rag with undiluted mr clean by holding the damp rag against the bottle and inverting it for a second. That small amount on the rag several times around the damaged area cleaning past all sides the tape will reach. Then rinse a few times with another rag so absolutely no residue remains. You only have one shot at it so once the patching tape hits the liner there's no pulling it back as it's very strong. Below is a patch with the before and after with the Gorilla product.
