Good morning everyone, I don’t think I these two things are related but mentioning them for completeness. We had some storms roll through Wednesday night and while we didn’t lose power the lights flickered a couple of times. We went out to swim Thursday afternoon and I noticed the pool was a little cloudy. No one else noticed but I look at it every day so I notice subtle difference. I grabbed my kit and saw the my FC was 0 and my CC was at 0.5. I checked the salt cell and the screen was “screwed up”. Best way to describe it. It looked like it was in some odd state, all the warnings were displayed and the numerical display had random lines displayed, nothing resembling letters or numbers for any type of error code. I killed the power and restarted everything and it all came back online and appeared to be working (cell on, flow, etc.). We were running the heater so the pump was in a higher speed. I grabbed two pucks and put them into the skimmer and went driving around looking for liquid bleach (Walmart had some) I picked some up and got my chlorine levels back up, retested and was at 5 and 0.5. This morning everything looks good, cloudiness gone, I haven’t checked my levels yet but I will. I checked the pool equipment and salt cell to make sure that “screwed up” state (should have taken a pic of it) wasn’t being displayed. The salt cell looked normal except my no flow light was on. I did some trial and error and noticed that I need to run my pump at 1700+ rpms now for the salt cell to register flow, I have had the pool for a little over a year and had previously dialed it in to 1400 rpms as the min speed for the salt cell to register flow.
Any ideas what may have caused the sudden need for higher speed pump to register flow? Everything else about the salt cell seems to be working, no warnings, tiny bubbles coming from my returns when I turn the SWCG on, etc.
Anyone else encounter the need to continually raise the vs pump to ensure flow to the swcg? I haven’t seen that anywhere in the forums. Could a cleaning be needed?
