thanks @ajw22. Overnight loss of 0.5 ppm from 5 to 4.5. I decided to not slam yet and run my SWG 100% last night: I got 0.5 ppm gain . If I assume 0.5 loss like previous night (water is cristal clear), that seems to show my SWG is producing 1ppm over 8h, that doesn't seem much.. thoughts on...

Hello all, hoping I can get some directions on what is my next move. Specifically (i) how can I test that my SWG is generating enough chlorine (ii) is 170F too hot or normal in BOOST mode for my capacitator ? (iii) should I buy a new unit $600 (from saltpoolguys), send it for repair ~$280...
