Sorry - inground SWG - 18x40 Liner Steps at end Bump out seating on side 2 skimmer, no drain 2 returns in stairs, 2 returns in seats, one return on end

I think I had a leak for years but the end of last year and this season have been aggressive, so I am sure it is not evaporation now. The photo shows the story. Top line is start of observation. Next line is loss running 24/7 - about an inch. Next line is loss not running 24 hours - about an...

I have this photo of the top. I didn’t see any cracks in the board. My old job was writing software to do the PCB design so getting familiar again. I assume some type of meter is required to test current or voltage. I don’t have that. Salt test was 16 scoops = 3200

I rechecked soldering and it was fine. Never wanted it to be a user error more 😁. Here are the results which are the same. It looks normal for about 30 seconds then the lights come on and the voltage and current change. I will buy a new board, which may mean I didn’t need a new cell It...

An update…. I ordered the thermistor from Amazon June 14. It didn’t arrive within a week so I got a refund from Amazon. I decided to continue to use liquid chlorine this season because I was done with this for only 8 more weeks of swim time, and the weather sucks here so never have wanted to...

I put the old cell back into the system to see if it would have a different result on the board. My thinking was the salt WAS low at the start of the season and the cell was 10 years old so it was time to replace. But the results were the same as with the new cell. To me, that says the board...

Results below. Just for fun, I put in the cell I replaced to start this project and the same thing is happening with the lights and numbers. Maybe all along it was the board, since I never had scaling but did a wash anyway. Anyway here are the numbers again. When initially on, the current...

I looked at the board today. Nothing looks burnt out or comes apart at the touch, as the thermistor did when I fixed it before. There was a dense spider web at the part where the flow connector comes in. I cleaned that off in hope it was the issue. It was not as everything returned to the...

Ok three columns so I hope you can help. What I see is it runs for a minute then the Voltage and Current change as the lights fault. I recall soldering a thermistor a few years ago, so maybe it is broken again. :unsure: I will look at the board again tomorrow order of data is auto to off...

I did. That was the original setting from the old cell and had the Check Cell issue from the start. I fooled with it to change to another cell type, but there wasn’t a T940 setting. After research discovered that Tcell 15 is the correct one so it is set to that again.
