    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    v2.01; says mfr date 7/26/10 When I hold the "More" button down for 3-4 seconds, the LEDs for the % chlorination flash but it does not stop to show that any one LED is lit up. It goes right back to showing 3 LEDs reflecting 60%. I pressed "More" again right after doing this and all sanitizer...

    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    Checked the salt with my SaltDip tool, and it reads 3,300, dead on with the pool store. It should be okay as the cell says ideal salt 3,400. It's not under warranty. Please share any info on the replacement sensor. I'm sure the pool store would have charged me for much more or suggested a...

    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    Only indication on the SWG I get is that the salt level LED stays red (low salt). Power to the cell is green, but under status, the cell LED is not on at all (neither green nor red). Flow is green, and sanitizer output is at 3 dots (~60%). I checked cell life and I think it is also at 60% if I...

    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    The CYA is not dissolving very quickly. I probably had 6 or 8 lbs in a large tube sock, and it requires me squeezing it quite a bit to get it to dissolve. In similar situations in the past, I've had to take some pool water, heat it on the stove, add/stir in the CYA, and then dump it into the...

    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    I've had a sock of CYA in my skimmer for several days. I'm a little surprised it is only 10. Just checked it and it is definitely <30, which is the lowest my kit goes. The CH is made of calcium hypochlorite.

    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, after perusing a few other posts/replies, I edited my initial post to show that I have a fresh Taylor Complete K-2006 test kit. I normally do all my testing myself, but got lazy today! My reason for getting it tested is that I've been working to get my salt back...

    Accidentally increased alkalinity too high

    I normally test myself but took water to a pool supply store to do it for me. For my ~20K saltwater pebble tec pool (with 3 spillovers), here are their test results: CL = 0 (my SWG is not working yet. Think I need to acid wash it) Salt = 3300 Ca Hardness = 170 Cyanuric acid = 10 T.Alk = 70 ph...
