It is a fiberglass shell, freestanding hot tub. No plaster.

I am at 40 cya now as I used some conditioner from my pool. PH is 7.2, alk is a little low at 30, CH is at 100. Every couple of days my chlorine is at 0, but all I’ve been using is some cal-hypo shock. Maybe I need to try some bleach and see how long it will stay.

Would floating chlorine tabs help to prolong how often I would need to add bleach?

I’ve been using trouble free pools for a few years and have learned a lot and was able to kick my local pool store! I’ve recently gotten a hot tub from my sister and trying to figure out what sanitation to use. I’ve read the chlorine and bromine posts at the top but don’t know which one to...

Nothing has been extremely off on my tests. I’m not sure the best way to lower my csi. My ph was high today, around 8.0-8.2, but other than that, nothing was way off. Maybe up my alkalinity?

Were your cells covered at 100%? Mine is still under the 3yr warranty, but they only offered me 40% off a new one.

Even when the cell was clean and calcium free and i didnt see any visible algae, the chlorine level was still low. I will follow these steps though and see what results I get. Thanks!

The crack is where the cell meets up against the oring in the housing. It is not making a watertight seal as the water leaks through the small crack and comes out through the plastic threads where the lid screws on.

I’ll see if I can figure out how to add my moms pool as well. Hers is 22k gallons, plaster, salt pool with a SGS/CMP Breeze 540 generator. The cell is a circupool that was swapped out about 2 1/2 years ago. On the SGS controller, my only output options are 25, 50, 75, 100%. I ran it out 75 but...

So keeping the ph lower would help keep the csi in range? I cleaned the cell a couple months ago and it has already built back up. It’s not bad on the cell plates, but the bars that the plates mount to the cell lid are covered. I test her pool once a week and make adjustments, I’ve just been bad...

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think it’s the calcium causing it to crack. The camera angle is a little deceiving. The calcium isn’t actually making contact where it’s cracked. Unfortunately, circupool doesn’t make a replacement part for that. You have to buy a complete replacement cell. I don’t...

Need some suggestions for trying to repair a crack. I have a circupool sj series generator that has developed a crack in the plastic on the actual cell itself. It is where the plates mount to the plastic and where it seals up against the oring that’s in the housing. I’ve seen some people on here...

This forum has been great to me! I’ve learned so much and been able to do so many things in my own! Mine is still pretty basic, but I love having things automated now. Good luck to you in your new pool build! Be sure and post pics!
