I took my ic20 out last October and put in a dummy. I put the working unit back in today and got a no flow error light, flashing salt lights, and the screen logic app reads 0PPM salt. I discovered that the flow meter switch broke and have to replace it…but I didn’t think the flow switch had...

The pump is at 2400rpm. My concern is that this is new behavior - it never used to do that and there is an audible "gurgling" coming from the air blower. Makes me think something has changed for the worse.

I thought the problem was fixed, but it is not. Attached is a pick of the blower/air inlet and here is a video of what the jets are doing. I'm running the spa at 3000rpm right now to try and clear any remaining water if that's the problem.

That was it! Running at a high rate cleared it and stopped the problem. Thank you!

Update for anyone with similar problems: It appears water in the air line was the culprit. I ran the pump at a high speed (3200rpm) and that stopped the cycling. We had a lot of rain in January so it makes sense some water may have creeped in. We haven't used the spa all month so it never got...

All 6 function, but two down at one end seem weaker and during this cycle are the last two start bubbling. I thought they may be the last in the chain.

2400rpm. This is for when the spillway is activated. I've always used it at that speed. When using the spa as, well, a spa, I run it at 2850 minimum. EDIT: In anticipation of a followup, I just ran the spa at the higher RPM in spa mode (not spillway mode) and the cycling did NOT happen.

OK. There was no build of of air after purging, no flucutation in pressure when the spa jets stall and restart, and the hum of the pump does not change at all. The only thing I notice among the equipment is the gurgling sound that comes and goes at the same time as the spa jet cycling. Anyone...

I don't know if I have a blower - if that is a separate piece of equipment, then no. There is just a valve that shunts water to the spa instead of the pool returns and the venturi pipe for the bubbles. I did not watch the pressure gauge long enough to see if it fluctuates - should have occured...

My spa has a spillway into the pool. This morning I noticed that the jets in the spa would start and stop every 5 seconds or so while the spillway was running: Jets, no jets, etc. The pump itself SOUNDS like it is running normally. When the jets are restarting I do hear gurgling inside the...

7. I added a little too much by hand since my SWG isn't generating anything due to sub-60 degree temps - I normally keep it around 5.

Got a brand new bottle of Borate test strips from TFTestkits in Feb. Reading seems off the charts? I put Borates up to a level of 50ppm about 2 years ago. Added a little last year to bring it back up to 50. That's it. The only other chemicals I add are MA, chlorine, baking soda, and CYA and...

Definitely meant FAS-DPD test from the K-2006. I know I put the powder in - I checked and there were still a few granules on the bottom. I'm very willing to consider I may have made a mistake somewhere, but I had pool water, powder, and as far as I know, used the correct bottle of R-0871 drops...
