Understood about the warranty. For me its the easy button to just swap the cell but more expensive. Plus I have had to do quite a few AA treatments for staining due to a leak that was fixed and although the cell was off during AA, you never know.

Thanks I contacted support and they recommended the flow switch and wire jumper and leaving the current cell in. The issue is within the cell as that is where the temp sensor is. The quick fix is to put in a new flow sensor with a temp sensor as well and jumper the controller so it reads the...

Hi, got 167F on the reading after i noticed it blinking this morning. Recovering Chlorine with bleach and weighed the flow switch change vs a new cell. I opt'd for both and will determine which way I will go this weekend. I have 3 years on the Rj-60 cell and debating if its worth swapping the...

Here's the official word from ProTeam When lifting stains or reversing other pool water issues relating to metal problems, the pH must be raised and the chlorine lowered as directed. Maintenance doses, the pool should be maintained between the “normal” daily ranges a pool should be kept at...

Great thanks- their instructions on their website doesn't delineate the free CL recommendation between initial and maintenance. Algae test passed last night FC=5.8ppm CC=0ppm Turning on the SWG and hoping my leaning to more Borax for pH control saves me my relatively high Acid adds going...

Thanks for the info. I am doing the overnight run to test for algae prior to turning on SWG. Using 25ml FAS test FC=6.2ppm CC=0 ppm

I used 32oz of 12% Peroxide for 4.5ppm Chlorine. By your calcs that should have been 20 oz of 12% peroxide vs 32 oz I used. However Peroxide itself is inherently unstable and decomposes to water "eventually"- FDA has the half life of 90% Peroxide at a little over a week in typical sunlight...

Thanks. Jst realize there is no calculator here for peroxide other than here and I did it in 2 increments and appeared to calculate correctly for my pool "27% hydrogen peroxide at a reasonable price of $17 per gallon. It would only take 115 fluid ounces (around 3-1/2 quarts so somewhat less...

Yes thank you. I tried the cu-lator last year to try to help that and it appeared to work as most of my staining was from the previous AA and having to SLAM over long period. The ultra high Cl combined with PH that kept going up rapidly cause some metals to re precipitate during the SLAM. I...

Thanks for the peroxide tip and will use more AA next time. Sorry about not mentioning the sequestrant, I added 32 oz Pro team metal magic on initial run after 12 hours of AA- same for second. This morning I removed cartridge and cleaned it. Once pool stabilizes, I will replace the...

Ok here are the results I put 2 gallons on bleach in (over 6 hours) and brought Free Cl to 5ppm FAS using the 10ml method. I know that normally about 20 oz of 7.5% bleach raises my pool 1ppm. This morning Free Cl =5ppm :) Ph=7, TA=40, CYA=80. I overshot CYA more than I would like but used...

So alot better on the AA - I am suspecting the peroxide to be the culprit on the first go around. Pool is at PH=7 and pool temp is at 60F. I looked at this thread and will start to bring Cl back up despite the AA working slower than last year. Last year was in Spring or Fall and the Polaris...

Pool stains slowly lifting. It must be the pool temp (60-65F). I will let it run but I do not have algae forming (used alot of algeacide on first attempt)- I will start pool recovery tomorrow evening/Friday morning

I just put in 2 lbs of AA (I ordered the one mas965 said Amazon.com as the one I ordered got back ordered) Cl=0 and PH =7.1 only difference is I did not use Peroxide to lower Cl. Cl was slowly coming down (I assume due to bad batch of AA that had some kick to it)- running for 24 hours and...

Thanks- much appreciated but I already ordered the new AA :)
