We are in SE Georgia and our 16x32 vinyl pool was about $30000 six years ago so it is probably almost double that now. The pool builder was from an adjacent rural county and I think his labor costs were fairly low.

Someone just stopped by the house and gave me a flyer for a device that supposedly kills algae with ultrasonic sound; only $999 https://www.poolprotectiontechnologies.co/

Well, after setting the cell type to t-15 and changing from metric to US and adding a bag of salt everything seems to be OK with no lights flashing. I am going to get a new salt test kit. Thanks for the help. I suspect the recent hurricane rains and power outages messed things up.

OK thanks everyone. I don't want to keep running out and checking the readings. I am going to give it 24 hours to see if the salt level stabilizes. I suspect I just need a new cell.

The only difference when changing polarities is the amps was 0. It appear to be generating CL based on little bubbles in the returns. I am going to add salt gradually to see if that works. I think things may have gotten off when we lost power for 4 days.

I have an Aquarite 900 system that is about 5 years old, with a T-15 cell. The display is not showing salt level but shows E-3. I think it is an E but no top horizontal piece is showing. The check salt light is on as well. I tested the salt level and it is 3000ppm. Is this an electronics problem...

Get one of these and use the convex end to push the rod back in...

I live in Savannah, close to the coast, and it is frequently windy here. Also the soils are mostly fine sand. Then most of the lawn companies use zero turn mowers that have a very high blade speed and kick up a lot of dust, along with the blowers. All of these factors combined mean that I get...

We have had a lot of afternoon thunderstorms this year. It seems that whenever there is a lightning strike fairly close (less than 2 seconds to thunder) the GFI breaker in the main panel trips. The breaker feeds a sub panel with individual breakers for pump, chlorine generator, light and...

I have a pool net that is about 12 inches deep. I put the CYA in the net in front of an inlet, with the handle lying across the deck.

FC 8 CC 0 pH 7.2 CYA 40 I am getting a good bit of loose green algae on the bottom. I know my CYA is low and am working on that. The water is clear. Is this dead algae? If not how is it forming if the FC level is adequate?
