    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    James, When I first converted to salt I added too much salt and yes I got the high salt LED but it was over 4600 at that point. It seems you've fixed my problem. Lowered the salt to 3200 and current is steady around 7.2 amps. I'll test chlorine level soon and let you know but the bubbly...

    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    Also, just wondering why you think my cell runs so high on amps? Manual says op range is 4.5-8 but I have never seen it below 6.8. Thanks

    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    I have drained enough water to lower the salinity to about 2700 ppm (will be able to verify the exact number tomorrow morning after it has refilled). Cell current has dropped to low 7's so I believe we're good now (and will test chlorine tomorrow). Scanning the online manual for the Aquarite I...

    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    I understand now. Did not mean to offend with the 'shock' term. I am new to this and fortunately have not shocked the pool nor needed to. Once the SWG was installed I watched very closely and kept the chlorine and other levels good and found it took very little to keep them right. I will order...

    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    The Aquarite panel shows no error lights, if that's what you mean by diagnostic readings. How obvious should the bubbles have been when I tested the Salt Cell? If the chlorine is getting eaten up by something, what could that be? What do you think has changed? Also, rather than order (and...

    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    The guys at the pool shop suggested testing it's production when I cleaned it. He said/I did: fill the cell with chlorine-free water, add some salt, turn on and watch for bubbles. I saw some very, very small bubbles. I forgot to post originally: the cell and controller are new in August...

    SWG Suddently Stopped Making Chlorine

    Hi Guys, My old Jandy pool heater died about a month ago. We kept the pump, filter and SWG running during the time while I was waiting for a new Hayward heater to arrive and be installed. Shortly before installation I noticed a kind of bubbled film on a section not covered by the solar...

    Suggestions for new indoor deck

    Thanks Rollercoastr. The house is older than the pool but we nearly gutted it when we got possession in August. It looks like it was built in the last 5 years. The pool is a little stuck in the '90s so we're just trying to bring it to the present (starting with the deck. Then the patio doors...

    Suggestions for new indoor deck

    Thanks guys. Yes we bought it for the pool but the house is pretty nice too. The pool just needs a little updating. As for the slide, there is a company that sells water slide components from decommissioned water park slides. We have the height and the deck space so I just need to get some...

    Suggestions for new indoor deck

    Hey ya'll. We recently bought a house with a large indoor pool (pics). The deck is blue indoor-outdoor carpet and although it's in pretty good shape and was well applied, it takes a couple of days to fully dry out after a big party and smells a little like a wet dog. The trouble part though...
