Re: Easytouch = confusing programming My pool service contractor recently replaced the motherboard on an Easy Touch panel. He did not reprogram the spa spillway. When I looked at the back of the circuit board, the actuator that controls the spa return line is plugged into the return port on the...

I think you are right. The pool service probably has been manually adding chlorine instead of correcting the low salt concentrations to allow the SWG to correctly produce chlorine. Based upon what all of you have said and the other research I've done, there is no way for this salt cell to be...

I asked the pool chemical store if she used test strips or drop based. She advised that she did it both ways and came up with almost the same number of 1840 to 1850 ppm of salt. This pool is being maintained by an outside service so now I'm suspecting that something is being done with manual...

Test strips are brand new and were purchased from TFTestkits along with the TF100 kit a week or so ago. I also took a water sample to the local pool chemical store to see what reading they got on the salt and they came in at 1850 ppm so really close to my numbers. We pulled the SWG and inspected...

Hi, I have an Intellichlor SWG that consistently will indicate that salt levels are good even when test strips yield 1680 ppm salt. Upon inpsection there is no scaling inside the cell and the plates are all clean. Eventually, the cell will indicate a low salt condition. I'm thinking that the...

Thanks Jason, I believe the core problem is the fact that the algae was not effectively killed. I did not see anyone taking any CYA readings and shocking the pool with the correct ratios relative to CYA. It looks like the pool service people are thinking that keeping the pool at 2-3 ppm FC will...

We have a 56K gallon commercial pool in our community that was opened about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Upon opening it was a green swamp and the pool service people poured in some chlorine and then it turned to a teal/blue green color. Pool was then refilled since it had been drained down for winter...
