with the 10k ohm resistor the temperature still reads 60 degrees, kinda expected at this point as even with no sensor it reads 60 degrees. So likely the board is gone. Interesting problem, the heater does still work, it just doesn't stop as the temperature doesn't change. I'm almost tempted to...

The thermister in the heater is reading 14 ohms, the new one is reading ~9 ohms. Wiring has no resistance, ohm readings are the same through the wires at the motherboard. I need to see if I have a 10k resistor to even test, radioshacks are a bit on the rare side now. EDIT: well that's...

Alright, some more work. I replaced the ignitor because the rodents chewed up the wiring to it. During this I started the heater and it fired up normally. Temperature still stays at 60, sometimes dropping to 59. After 20 minutes, the SWG was reporting 88 degrees, but the heater still hanging...

After evicting mickey and minnie from our max e therm, I had to resolder the wires to the high limit switch and the thermister and a yellow wire off the control board. After this I put some chicken wire up on the upper vents, and then stuffed a bunch of steel wool into the front and rear...

Still learning with this pool. Hadn't realized I could reduce the pool pump running time during the "winter" when the temperature of the water dropped below 55 degrees, as the SWG would stop producing chlorine. Realizing this I went ahead and dropped the pump timing at 20 gpm to 5 hours instead...

FC 10, pH 7.4, Ta 80. Since the RJ produces a little over 3x more than the truclear I think 30-40% is likely where it'll end up, so I'm backing down to 40%. As this thread has strayed quite a bit from the original intent, I think I'm going to go ahead and leave this post to the archives at...

RJ-60 is in. I didn't add any chlorine last night and just ran it from for about 16 hours at 75%. Dialed back to 60%. FC 8.0, pH 7.6, Ta 80. Added acid to bring pH down to 7.2 to push Ta down. CSI, unless I fat fingered, 0.05.

Odd, water temperature is roughly 85 degrees F, when I put those numbers in yesterday I swear I got 0, but I must have fat fingered something. I intend to drop Ta further to 70 after getting pH to rise, that should get my CSI in a better position. RJ-60 appears to have been delivered so I'll be...

With a CH this high, it looks like I'll need to keep the Ta and pH pretty tight, or have to explore ways to fill the pool with lower CH water.

CH 600, salt 3400, cya 70, pH 7.2, Ta 80 With this CSI is now 0.

I'm a bit suspect of the CH, as that a major rise since the last reading at 575. There is an automatic filler, and I know the fill water is likely to be high CH but I didn't think it was that high, and there's been a few storms passing through the last few weeks. With the CH that high the CSI...

Fc 4.5, CC 0, Ta 90, pH 8.0, calcium 675. I've been adding liquid chlorine everyday to keep the fc up. It's been about 2 weeks since the borates was added, so a rise to 90 Ta and pH 8.0 does appear to have slowed the rise a bit. I'll check CYA and salt tomorrow during the day. I'll probably be...

The third party that processes credit card payments for them flagged the transaction. My credit card company had the charge go pending as normal (monday and tuesday), and then it came off pending to being a charge as of this morning.

After spending some time collecting myself I again tried to speak to someone. So Sonny's main position is fraud. After hearing this I suppose you can't totally lay the blame on one person. If you're dealing with fraud everyday then unfortunately, the skeptical side of you beings looking at...

Oh, I didn't really expect it to be sent out on the weekend, as I ordered it at 11:30p Sunday night. I added two day shipping to try to get it by Wednesday or Thursday. When the verification came through it mentioned 1-2 days so I chalked it up to the verification coming through on Wednesday and...
