old de filter parts

You may try contacting inyopools.
Is this a pentair nautilus plus?


Edit- upon zooming in it appears you have an American titan.
I cannot make out your model but inyo likely has the parts you need.
Here’s a list of some for the titan

Testing a Trisensor for flow with multimeter?

Don't know for sure, but looked at the manual. The flow sensor is just a switch. If it's working, then 2 of socket pins should go from infinite to near-zero ohms when you flex the metal blade so the magnet touches the stalk.

No way to tell which 2 unless you can find a service manual somewhere. But you won't do any damage by trying all pairs.

You might also try to reverse engineer which pins are which. It looks like there are 6. Seems reasonable that there are 2 for each sensor. If so, then this ought to work: 1) look for 2 that connect (1 for each) to the salt sensing blades (don't scratch them) with low ohms. 2) Look for another two that have maybe 10-20 K ohm resistance between them. Those would be the temp sensor. Verify by dunking in cold water to see the resistance change. If you can rule out those 4, the other 2 must be the flow switch.

Pool Water Conservation

Why does it seem few pool owners have large rainwater collection tanks fed from their home roof used to dilute the pool over winter?
This is not common in the US but I have seen a few instances here. Most here who collect rainwater use it in their gardens and such.
Using a secondary pool or bladder for water pump out is also not common here in the states when doing pool resurfacing/liner changes etc. but I have seen it used “across the pond” quite a bit and think its a great idea!

Autopilot Dig 220 - Read Light - Purifier off Check Flow

Pressure at 28 is not good. That indicates your filter is dirty and need to be cleaned.

High pressure is bad, not strong. Low pressure is good and indicates little resistance through the filter.

The rubber band test forces the flow switch on. It showed your flow switch works.

Do you have a MPV on your filter?

Free Chlorine issue

I never even thought about that. the total chlorine on the strip shows up as high but the free chlorine on the strip shows none. but like you said it could just be because of that.
There’s another thread going right now about a similar issue- the strips only go so high and he actually has 5x’s the amount of fc shown on the strip. Its a crapshoot with the strips.

Another AquaRite "Hot" Error

Hey Folks,

My salt system is giving me a "Hot" error and wont resume service automatically. If I flip it Off and back to Auto, it kicks in. From what I read, this is a bad sign, but wondering if anyone can guide me on how to proceed. The details people normally ask for are

Model: T-CELL-LS-CUL
Serial: 3E20273-204045

Diagnostics:
  • Temp 85
  • Cell voltage 27.5
  • Cell current 3.66
  • Output 100%
  • Salinity -2400
  • Product name AL-1
  • Software 1.62
Thanks in advance,

Noob to the forum. Looking for CYA advice

Sorry, missed on the ramp. Likely 23K. Start there, then use either an acid addition (later not in slam) or chlorine addition and test 30 minutes after an addition and see if you got the correct result. If still too high, lower pool volume 500, if too low raise pool volume 500.

Pick one place and use that place for all your testing to be consistent. If shallow is lower FC then choose shallow.

Pool Water Conservation

We kept this experiment simple and only used soda ash (sodium carbonate) to precipitate calcium and then filtered it out. We have not tried using lime (calcium hydroxide)..... yet. But of course, we are certain that using lime would work very well. In fact, we believe it would probably precipitate out magnesium as magnesium hydroxide or magnesium carbonate.
In thinking about this experiment, I now realize that we should have tested for possible magnesium reduction also. Fortunately, we are planning to do this procedure again on two pools this spring. So we will cover that aspect this time around.
