    Autopilot warning check clean cell problem

    I have a Dig 220, Autopilot rc 42 and am seeing the "check clean cell" message. I live in the Midwest and only use the pool 4 months a year. The generator is 5 years old.

    Actual SWG vs. Bleach Cost, Eye popping!

    Here is my experience. I started with trichlor till I got into trouble with a high CYA. Switched over to BBB. It was very labor intensive for me. Hauling the bleach down to my pool everyday was a pain in the neck. Installed a Liquidator. Was a little less labor intensive but required a...
