Salt cell was confirmed dead. have that replaced trying to dial it in. Chlorine has been low over the last week while messing with all this. A little worried about raising it too fast to drop out all the metal...

Before and After

OOOH WEEEE So I ordered the under water acid wash kit below.... and it worked like a charm! I only ended up using the smaller one of the two attachments. used two bottles of acid, "primed" the hose to get the acid flowing then slowly worked my way around to get most of them. still have a...

Awesome, that was quick. only a few days from your last post and josh hooked you up and you installed it. very nice. Josh's customer service is second to none. pics or it didn't happen :)

I have an autopilot nana 28k and like it a lot

Has a cell ever broken down before it output the exact amount of manufacturer advertised chlorine? has one ever output more? has anyone every been able to independently verify the chlorine output in pounds from a unit installed in the field? Are there factors that play into the deterioration...

I mean that would make sense if every cell gave up the ghost exactly when it hit the # gallons of FC it is designed to produce. I don't think that table (as difficult as it is to read the formatting) applies to the life of a cell. It is only calculating the estimated cost of chlorine via...

Yeah I'm not convinced that's gospel. I read through a bunch of threads where people were talking about how long their t15 lasted and a lot of those amount of times were for very small pools in their sigs (relative to the 40k recommendation of the t15) I didn't see any anecdotal evidence that...

here's the updates sorry for the delay. the middle two pictures are of the same corner of the pool where the vitamin C tabs pic was earlier in the thread. the acid wash kit thing should arrive this week. will post how that goes for specific spots

I'm sure the cell is the same to actually clean as any other cell (omg i'm so bad to admit i haven't cleaned my cell in the hear i owned it. I definitely will soon, thanks for shaming me :) I'm not familiar with the aquapure, but i just googled a picture of it and it looks like it would be...

ah I just realized. My current cell is a T-9. the leslies lady showed me a t-15 replacement for 580. pinch a penny showed me the t-9 for 380. should I swap to a t-15? its a 10k pool. would that get me more chlorine, less strain on cell, longer life of a t-15 cause they are tougher anyways...

thanks for that link ping. must have linked it while I was typing. seems like a couple of people had failers after 2 years. pfft. I just checked out that titanium cells sight and their price is 360... the price at PAP for the legit 3yr warrantied cell was 380 something so for that price i'd...

I took it to both PAP and leslies and they both tested it and it came up as failed... womp womp. I used to go to my local leslies exclusively when i needed something but recently i have had some really bad experiences there. so my cell fails. I ask for their price on replacement. she says the...

Just inherited a hayward aqua rite pool I'm trying to get going. I'm suspicious the cell is dead. I'm gonna take it to leslies this week to get them to test it to try to confirm. t keeps shwoing a low salinity reading (despite independently verifying the salt level is where it should be)...
