at least this gives me hope cell is still ok. i'll keep monitoring when i complete OCLT. thanks

This at least gives me some hope that the cell is functional. i'll keep monitoring that's in process. i'm trying to run a controlled OCLT, but the family and doggie keeps "sabotaging" it :-)

hi. i'm beginning to doubt the chlorine production of my ichlor 30. so i'm running a test using my hot tub (400gals). according to the Pool Math calculator, if i run the SWG for 1 hour at 100%, the FC should raise by 12. if it only raised by 3 (25% effective), does this mean it's going bad...

Here’s the latest on my build. I started down the poolcontroller route, but it started looking somewhat more complicated than what I needed. BUT I am taking your heating approach - set heater to highest temp and call for heat based on the sensors attached to the water line. Pretty ingenious wo...

you're absolutely right and was already seeing "the light" and following your suggestion re the SW side of it. my project started with me trying to automate the valves. straight forward. then i started looking into replacing the intermatic clock/contactor. then the heater, then.... you get...
