Salt is 3000. I guess I forgot to include that. That makes the CSI more negative too, I think. And the TA is lower than I thought. Thanks for the info.

First of all my latest test results with the Taylor K-2006: FC 5.0 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 80 CH 130 CYA 60 Temp 87 f. When I plug those numbers into Pool Math, it gives me a CSI of -0.63. When I use the Taylor whiz wheel, it gives me a CSI of -.30. I am confused about the difference. I am...

I just read in my test booklet about possible high false PH readings with high FC levels. That must be it and I should do nothing. For now. I hope. Thanks for the help.

Greetings, I am just filling and opening my pool today. As the water was being topped off, the PH tested at 7.7. Now after adding about 3 gal. of liquid chlorine and scrubbing the bottom with a brush, the PH is off chart high- purple.?? Fc 20 TA. 80 CH 200 CYA 45 ? temp. 50 deg. Help...

Thanks for the reply. I disconnected the wires to the SFS sensor and removed it. It looked fine. Couldn’t get my multimeter to do a good ohm test. Reinstalled the sensor and hooked up the wires. It has been working normal now for 2 hours. Exhaust temp. is 295.

Moved from HERE I have the same heater and I do get an E05 code. This happened after about 16 hours of rain. I feel the rain must be the cause. Before I tear into it, could it dry out and fix itself or do I need to drain/clear something first? The exhaust temp jumps around under 110 deg. then...

I ran your numbers on my spin wheel and got a CSI of -.20. Could be I made a mistake, but I don’t think so.

Thanks for the hair info. I will relay to the daughter. I had the fc at 28 right after opening doing a slam to clear the winter haze. The cya was 70 then and it took a few days. I tested every day this spring. Now every other day.

Thanks for the help. Yes, she’s blonde. We did use the tablets most of last year, but I am careful to test often, and the PH has never been below 7.3, and the CSI has mostly been spot on at zero. Nothing put in with copper that I know of. The last algaecide was put in by the PB during opening...

The PB used bags of Aquasalt this spring to start the SWG. But no copper in that, right?

City water. No other products. I am now wondering about the thermal regulator in the Pentair heater. When the pool was opened this year, it was stuck and gave me a HLS light. I took it out and was able to squeeze it with some pliers until it broke loose. Tested good and has worked fine. Maybe it...

No, nothing has been put in the skimmers. I put some Metal Shield in the deep end. My gut feeling is the copper level in the water is the same as last year. It is just showing up some this year, and the only difference is the salt system. The PH has been higher though, because I have not used...

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think my pool equipment is the source. Too new. I will have to get a copper test kit and check my fill water source. Just can’t believe it can be much different in one year.

This is our first year using a SWG. New phenomenon is green tinged hair for my daughter. A copper test at the pool store showed the level to be quite low, at .15 if I remember right. I got some metal stuff and put it in, but it hasn’t helped very much. My PB was here today to adjust the pool...

Duct tape a generic squeeze bottle with the lid removed to a yard stick. If you submerse it quickly, no water will enter until it stops moving.
