Thank you guys! Wanted to be sure I installed the cell correctly. I rarely ever checked the amps before, so this time it threw me off. Thanks again!

Hello- I just replaced my 6 year old t-cell 15 with a genuine Hayward 15 t-cell. However, at certain times during the day when I scroll through the diagnostic menu, I see that the amps is 0, and the current salt reading is 0. However on the board, the 'Generating' LED (and power LED) is on, and...

This is really amazing and informative for people who don't want to read through a lot. Well done!

Performed the Overnight Chlorine Loss test- yesterday evening my FC was at 2, and today morning its still at 2. Looks like I just need to add some liquid chlorine and CYA. It's strange because I haven't had my FC drop down this much ever before until now.

Hey guys, having a problem increasing my FC levels. Just did a test and here are the results: FC = 2 pH = 8 TA = 80 CH = 310 CYA = 50 Salt = 3400 My SWG is at 60%. It's been somewhat bright and sunny, so I can imagine the cholrine getting burned up by UV, but I used to have FC of around 5-6...

Apologies for not responding back to this- wanted to post an update. I ended up switching out the pump lids between the cleaner pump and filter pump. That helped resolve the issue. I guess it was the lid that wasn't seated properly or something.

Thanks for the reply! As far as I know, it pulls only from the cleaner drain. The skimmers do have proper water level (and free from debris) as the filter pump pulls water from there. The filter pump is running with no issues.

So the lid and drain plugs are nicely lubed and closed. I checked the impeller and it appears to be free of debris. I opened up the water valve of the cleaner and made sure all the valves are opening and closing. It's beyond me what could be going on. I might have to get someone out to look at it.

This is for the cleaner pump- it's not connected to the filter, so no way to let the air out. I've waited over a few minutes to let it prime. I initially found out when I noticed air coming out of the cleaner heads- the pump was running for a good hour or so before I noticed.

Got it. I had greased the lid a few days back, so I'll go and check it out again. Didn't check the drain plugs- so thats a great idea to look into! Thanks!

Yes, I checked the impeller, and it appears to be free of debris. When I start up the pump, it does pull in water for a good second or two, and then the flow goes down significantly.

I have an infloor cleaner. Yesterday, I saw big air bubbles coming out of the cleaning heads in the floor of the pool. I checked the pump and there's no prime at all. I shut off the pump and cleaned the basket (wasn't that dirty). I checked the water valve (paramount 6 valve), but didn't see any...

Thanks for quoting that- I recall reading the proper instructions in Pool School, but you made it much easier to find it! Thanks! A quick question- I went to my neighborhood pool store and ask for CYA. They gave me a liquid stabilizer and told me to simply pour it into the pool near a skimmer...

The water temperature reading in the control box of the SWCG was around 77 degrees F. But this is helpful information. I'll be adding CYA and retest the water.

I haven't added any CYA in the last 3 weeks. I just got the 2006C test kit, so this was the first time I tested for CYA. Before this, I used test strips that didn't have CYA testing.
