Thanks. I saw that after I posted the first. I can't decide if I want to solder......

No. AQL2-POD2. And I just found a guy online who will do it for $159. Free shipping.

No longer accepting a charge. Are there options besides replacing the system?

The cloudiness I referred to was absolutely caused by algae because it corresponds to immediate FC consumption. I haven't said (yet) that the phosphate removal has prevented anything. I have said that I have noticed a difference. My attention to chlorine levels, brushing, etc, is the same as it...

I didn't mean to talk you into it, just sharing my most recent endeavor. I'm not about to offer advice in contradiction to the experts here. I think (!) my pH measurements are ok as long as I'm not at FC levels above 15. But that's a guess on my part. I don't seem to have that much trouble with...

I'm going to chime in on the phosphate "debate." I've had trouble keeping my FC levels below 12 (cya 60-80) ever since I installed a SWG. Every time I would try to work down the FC to my target level the water would start to cloud up and I'd have to slam again, as the SWG would not keep up. I...

The only time I get that message is when my remote is on and the filter pump is off.

Just tried it. My CYA was a bit low due to all the rain we've gotten. I was at 50. I try to keep it in the 60-70 range.

Sorry, another update. I have played around with my FC levels for the past month. It seems I'm able to hold 13 with no trouble. Once I creep down to the 10 level things start going south. I have a suspicion that a cracked glass block in my spa spillover (I hadn't noticed before) might have some...

It never got to 3 until it was "lost."

Yes. The ones prior to the last one had been sloppy. This one passed all three tests.

pH was 7.2-7.4.

Well, according to the "chart" it shouldn't start growing at 4 ppm.

Right. But any idea why it would grow at a FC level of 4 or above?

Sorry, another update. Water started to look a bit cloudy. I don't see any algae on walls or in corners. And I brushed, vacuumed, and cleaned the filter. Never saw clouds of debris. FC never got below 4. But it was evident the salt cell was struggling to keep up as I was adding both run time and...
