Yes I have a lot of that. I have only been off for about 24 hours and just finished the SLAM... I should be good there.. I will probably figure this out in the next few min, but how do you tell positive from negative on these things? its been a few min and there are no markings on it. I...

Thanks again, nevermind the click, when I removed the capacitor and did a quick "fire" it buzzed again. Leslies has it :( i love that they have it, I am not a Leslies fan. But I am a fan of my pool not getting algie.

Thank you, read it, pulled it, multimeter shows nothing at all. I may be doing that wrong but I watched a few videos, read the multimeter manual etc. Leslies has one. What explains the "click" i heard in the timer? I get absolutly nothing when I turn it on before I pulled the capacitor...

Hi, I have a pump connected to a timer. My wife turned off the pool sometime today and I came home and tried to turn it on. When I did it just buzzed really loud. When I showed it to her she said it was not making that noise. I could tell it was not rotating. It bussed for 10 seconds and...

You know, that is something that People should really think about because if you wait, you can find discounted cells. It’s $900 on Amazon, for the last week it has sold between $650 and $750 on eBay brand new.

How long can I live like this, on emergency backup chlorine? (sounds like a space odyssey)

Thank you for that, can I then go to a T – 3? I just bought a brand new one on eBay for $750. I got them to come down on the price. I think I will do exactly what you said, until it completely burns out Does the chlorine production change from T 15 to T-9? Or are you going to tell me that...

Ok posting for myself in the future and for anyone that wants to know. I predicted in April my unit would fail and it is now failing. What that looks like is tested salt and low machine salt values. Big thanks to MKNAUSS, a lot of help from him... The guy on youtube got me started in the...

OH, its definitely cheating it changing to a T-9 and it now says 3100. I really appreciate that. Getting bottled chlorine as backup while I wait for my new unit.

Thank you!

Thank you, you have really helped me. That link told me everything I needed to know. Yes its used up, my pocket book does not want to admit that.

Thanks as always mknauss... I just figured out the serial number on the unit. Its just over 8 years old. Salt is 4200 by taylor k17XX whatever test kit and the unit is saying it is 2500 as of now. I tested the resistance on the thermistor and that is 10.42 kohms, so its good. My PH is 8.2...

OK, thank you for that, I guess one last question what is it that actually fails in a cell?

What is scale? And no it did not. It’s been running for 30 minutes and it says 2900. One thing I have not done, is clean it with muriatic acid. I just bought a stand for it on Amazon and it’ll be here on Sunday and I will do the four to one cleaning solution. I have not cleaned it like that ever...

Ok well this is interesting.... I went and unplugged it, disconnected it, cleaned it and this fell from somewhere right when I pulled it apart. They are perfectly flat on one side, not sure if it was inside of it or outside, but it looks like calcium to me, I dont know...
