Yeah, my follow-up question was going to be if I got a couple of duds or if 2.5-3 years is really about all I can expect if I want to replace them. We did have a lightning incident earlier in the summer that got my SWCG control board and my Dolphin power supply (I think), so it's possible that...

I think I already confirmed by searching I'm just out of luck here, but two of the three Microbrites in my pool are now unable to emit red light - there is a very, very dim red light in one of them, nothing in the other. So if the dial is set to white, blue or green they all work - set it to red...

Water has been crystal clear for several days now and CC is at 0.5, just haven’t had a chance to do the OCLT since it’s not my house and getting up at 5 am to drive over there isn’t appealing. :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, I really just wanted to be able to supplement like you said so we're not adding so much LC - but good reminder to turn it back off when I'm ready for the OCLT.

Today’s (er, yesterday’s) update, drains visible in the deep end. New salt cell installed and producing. Looked at the bottom of the prior salt cell at the build date and it was actually only 3 years old, so that’s a bummer. It was set to 100% output and on a timer of about 12 hours per day so I...

Of course I did overshoot and got the CYA over 40 leading to a higher demand for chlorine, but still progressing well. Bottom of the shallow end is visible now. One thing I can’t quite make sense of, the pressure gauge atop the filter was frozen in time so I replaced with this Meanlin fluid...

Alright, 8 lbs of CYA sourced and added, if it's 25-30K gallons that will get me somewhere between 30 and 40. The filter cartridges and IC40 were ordered from Polytec on Wednesday, not sure how quick they turn orders out but hopefully have them in a few days.

Oh, glad you clarified, sure sounded like the suggestion was to add 10 gallons to the pool. :ROFLMAO: There are about 15 gallons still on hand so I shouldn't run out immediately, and stabilizer will be added today assuming I can find it; the shelf was bare at the closest store where I bought...

CYA is still 0, I have not added anything to raise it. With CYA >= 20 SLAM level is just 10ppm, hence the addition of 3 gallons at the start. 10 gallons would increase FC to 40. :oops:
