The Ascorbic Acid Treatment - Further Reading is how you lift iron off pool surfaces.
One you get the iron in solution you either need to drain the pool and replace it with iron free water or continuously use a Sequestrant - Further Reading to keep the iron in solution.
Do you know where the iron in your pool came from?
I've always only maintained balanced chlorine for years with no issues at all until this year. After adding four 1lb bags of shock to the pool, the steps turned brown. I know for a fact it's from over shocking because it's the second time it's happened and it's the only thing we did to the pool yesterday. The water was crystal clear but the white mold was everywhere, so the only way I knew to get rid of it was super shocking. I've never seen or experienced white mold. I'm sure in dis something wrong. But now it seems that I'm in a cycle. Brown steps means I have to use pool magnet plus and sparkle up but in order to use those correctly, the filter has to be off. I'm not sure what in the world caused the white mold unless it's from having the filter off. Now I'm back at square one.Welcome to TFP.

If my math is correct, this filter handles 268GPM, 385,920 per day. We run this pump 24/7, so could we possibly get by with running one filter this size?

This shows that you can have a 5 hp or 3 hp depending on the frequency.
At 50 HZ the RPM is 2,920 vs. 3,500 RPM, so this might account for the lower performance.
Check the pump RPM.
Check the Frequency.
Check the amperage on each leg of power.
What voltage is being supplied?
Maybe the rotation is backwards.
Make sure that the rotation is correct.

This is helpful to hear. So essentially keep testing and if those numbers look good, don’t stress as much about the screen?
Appreciate this literature! I am out of town until Monday but will get a picture as soon as I return.Welcome to TFP.
There is no calibration on Hayward SWG systems. Salinity is based on the volts and amps of new cells.
Check that the cell type is set correctly.
Show us the diagnostic information displayed.

This is your filter pump relay...
The black and red wires from the pump need to be moved from 2 to 1 and 4 to 3.
However you can only have two wires under one screw.
Thus you need to use wire nuts or WAGO connectors to connect the three wires together with a pig tail and then connect the pigtails to screws 1 and 3.
- Screw 1 - LINE hot wires
- Black wire from CB
- Black wire from EasyTouch transformer
- Screw 2 - LOAD switched wires
- Black wire from pump
- White wire from SWG transformer
- Screw 3
- Red wire from CB
- Yellow wire from EasyTouch transformer
- Screw 4
- Red wire from pump
- Yellow wire from SWG transformer
