Thanks for the reply. I estimate the cell is about 4 plus years old. It seems to be struggling just to stay at the current level. I would think at 100P with very little bathing usage it should have increases of FC day over day but it doesn't. If it is the cell then I would want to consider the...

The SWG is rated to 40,000 gal. It's the old Mineral Springs (Goldline) version

I did the overnight free chlorine test and it seemed to hold up fine. At 6:00 PM when the system stopped running: FC 5.5 CC 0.0 PH 7.6 TA 100 CH 280 CYA 60 Temp 80 This morning at 5:30 AM before the system kicked on at 6:00 AM FC 5.0 CC 0.0 PH 7.5 TA 100 CH 280 CYA 60 Temp 75 The water is...

Thanks for the replies. I have done the overnight free chlorine test and it holds up fine with no loss. The first thing I did was the visual inspection and the plates look brand new with no visual buildup at all.

My SWG has been acting up the last week or so. I am very good about daily checking my levels and keep everything pretty much in range. The water has been crystal clear since opening in late march. Over the last week my FC has dropped from say 6 to 3.5 with no real reason like high bather usage...

My solution was to restrict the amount of flow over through the spa. It seems the greater the pressure on the return side, the less bubbles. I can make them come or go by regulating return pressure. By restricting the flow over the tank pressure goes up and the bubbles go away.

I agree its strange. Right now I have been running the spa and pool independently and there are no bubbles at all. The problem doing that is i need to keep track of two bodies of water for chemicals and the filter for the pool runs at a higher pressure (around 30 - 32). Paramount didn't know...

Yes, you have it correct. The valve has been switched so there is no spill over back to the pool and the pool pump is strictly handling the the water in the pool. And yes, the bubbles only seem to occur when the spa is in spillway mode.

Yes, the lid is definitely under water. I am on the east coast and with all of the rain lately I have been dumping water. It's interesting that you say you can see just a few bubbles moving under the lid. On mine, when I am not getting air (like when the spa is isolated) the pump is pulling...

The pool and setup I described is correct. The spa does have its own pump and when the pool pump is running the in floor cleaning system is alway on. I have checked the skimmer and there definitely isn't air traveling from the skimmer to the canister. I called Jim over at Paramount yesterday...

Thank you for the reply. I do have the PCC-2000 system and mine is plumbed with both the main drain and the skimmer feeding into the debris canister. The debris canister is what is filling with air. My system has two pumps; one for the spa and one for the pool with an option to spill the spa...

This is my first post so I apologize in advance for mistakes. I have a Paramount PCC in-floor cleaning system where the in deck canister fills with air to the point the pump basket gets a significant amount of air and causes the loud clanking noise. The forum has been a great resource and I have...
