That did the trick! Thank you so much for your help and clear directions - you guys are the best!!

For some reason my reply didn't go through..... Those 2 terminals have always been empty (since we've lived here 7 yrs and I'm assuming the 20 yrs before that). Not sure why, but the yellow and orange out of the transformer go to the rectifier and then to a 'plug' at the bottom of the housing...

Voltage at the terminals is showing 242.

Out of the blue my SWG had no lights/display/nothing. Power is coming into the unit from the main line. It's a 20 yr old system that I replaced a mainboard on about 6 yrs ago and the cell again just this spring. Nothing looked burnt on the board but I ordered a new one and replaced it. No...

RoberTX -- what did you end up going with? Doing a replaster job in DFW as well and have mixed thoughts on plain plaster or having the quartz thrown in. I have a friend whose quartz - over time - became very rough on the feet as the plaster wore down. Don't know if that was just her bad...

The pool stores around me advocate to add borates in either Spring or Fall because of water temps not being too hot or too cold. I guess I figure if I do the 'start from scratch' add now I only have to adjust come Spring or when/if I replace water next summer.

Thanks. We don't winterize here (Dallas) but what I meant by not adding any more CYA is that our puck use becomes nill in the winter. Thinking that if I replace water now, adjust and add borates, and keep chlorine on level with bleach through the winter I will be good to go for our spring swim...

Wanting to add Borates to our 2 yr old pool since we have had on/off issues with algae in the past. 18000 gal plaster/quartzscape finish ozonator FC 4.5 pH 7.5 TA 110 CYA 70 Think I already know the answer here, but do I need to get that CYA down by replacing 40% of my water before I add...
