I recently noticed a rusty spot on the wall of my SWP. It looks like it might be a rebar tie wire that was poking through the gunite and stucco from its construction 4 and a half years ago. Looking for any advice on what this might be from, and how easy/hard this would be to repair.

Several months ago I did the usual acid clean, at that time I was noticing reduced chlorine output, having to raise the controller CL % level. I assumed that was because it was summer and hot (actually the cell was failing). At that time I also saw some small black flakes in the used acid...

My apologies, I should've realized you meant to change cell type in the controller, not change the physical cell. I've now set it to a T3 cell type and did a diag reset, saving quickly at 3100ppm salt level. The cell starts at 3100ppm and 2.7 amps, and surprisingly, after an hour it only went...

In diag mode I can temporarily restart the salt gen. If I quickly do a save after a restart, the salt gen will start, but the ppm it measures quickly declines(as do amps), starting around 1000ppm and quickly dropping, when it gets to about 400 the salt gen turns off. Doesn't take long. It's a...

I use a Taylor K-2006 to determine actual chlorine level, pretty much the same process to iteratively determine chlorine % setting on the controller throughout the year. If I use an external PSU, I'd gate it via the flow switch(with optocoupler), plus I'd have it on a timer to get a target...

The temp setup I'd use will be designed to be very safe, with multiple fail-safes., and used only until Hayward can honor the cell warranty. "winter" is a relative term, here in S FL ;) Heater extends swim season, meaning chlorine demand will not decline very much.

I have a Hayward T9 salt cell that's at the end of it's useful life, it has been confirmed as failed, requiring replacement. Fortunately it's still under Hayward warranty and a claim has been filed with Hayward. Unfortunately Hayward is unable to provide any replacement cells for at least 3...

My T9 cell's warranty expires November 2021. In September 16 2021 I took the cell to my local PinchaPenny store because the controller was saying salt was too low to turn the chlorinator on (it's actually 3400ppm). PinchaPenny tested the cell on their Hayward tester, it failed 3 times in a row...
