Plumber was able to get the whistling to stop the reading was 0.25 after the flame kicked on so he adjusted the gas valve on the heater. Now we have these readings but he said we should contact Pentair.Does the heater run continuously to the setpoint now?
Were the gas pressures checked with a manometer with the heater operating after the new gas meter was installed?
Yep you're right, I do remember that. I let the numbers slip for a month or so, but got it back up where it needs to be. Thanks for checking!Yes, when I viewed viewed the 3.5 and 4.0 three weeks to a month ago, followed by your SWG adjustment entry's coupled with cya at 40 its struck me as too low and not enough CL . Yes I entered your adjustment #, my bad. Good luck. Pete

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.

That was my experience. I would like to hear if others have had similar and what they did, if anything.This is helpful to hear. So essentially keep testing and if those numbers look good, don’t stress as much about the screen?
I have the same system and mine read high with the "high salt alarm" from the time it was new until it was used for about 5 months. I knew my salt level was fine and searched the internet for reasons and even called Hayward (waste of time), but never found anything. It was working just fine producing chlorine so I gave up and let it go. Just within the last week or so it started reading more accurately to what I was getting through my testing, but still a little high.
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.

No. Salt cells do not have bonding lugs.Anyone know if I need to have the salt cell connected to the bonding wire?
Bond wire is connected to everything else in the pool loop.
