One "intriguing" thing is that AquaRite typically indicated "Hi" then stops generating (with the red high salt indicator on) Hhowever, I got "generating, green" indicator on but the amp is 0 (i.e., not producing?)....draining and filling now but thought I have never seen those combos before.

Understood and actually draining more as we speak. May go for more...at least 3-4 inches.

Thanks for your quick reply. I just checked the amperage and it is 7.95 - 7.99...drain a bit last night (1/2 inch below the middle screw of the skimmer) and fill a bit to lower the SWG salt reading.

Just replaced T-15 with a generic one (Pureline) from Inyopools. - the SWG salt level is around 4400 - 4200 (runs at 4200 but shuts down at / above 4300) - Taylor (K1766) indicates 3400 (i.e., 17 drops) If the SWG runs at 4200, should I run it or am I risking the transformer getting too hot /...

- My cell is 5+ years old but living in NE, we use the pool 3-4 month at best - Suddenly, the salt level dropped from 3400 to 1700 in a day - acid-cleaned the cell but no changes - I suspect the cell may be "bad" 1. Does the cell actually measure the salt level? If the cell is "bad" (e.g., the...

https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/aqua-rite-salt-chlorine-generator.300600/#post-2628386 I actually did what Youtube indicated and back in action....a different issue lately though.

Actually, I have been thinking about this although we only get the "residual" storm / hurricane up here NE. Do you think there is a significant difference between losing water via evaporation vs. draining? I would imagine evaporation basically get rid of H2O-only (while all other "stuff"...

Been fighting with the brown, metal stain for a few years and obviously sequestrants work (I found GLB to be the best) - no well water but I know our city water contains some metal / iron as our toilet's get stained. What I found interesting (and experienced for the first time) is that ascorbic...

Please don't forget to vacuum to waste. It does help especially during the opening. Keep us posted as we are all here to help each other :)

Again, you are going through what I have gone through, including traveling as I used to travel Sun / Mon - Thu / Fri almost every week in the past. I was mostly worried about the water level (evaporation or a major rain storm) as chemicals can be balances later. If not already, get one of...

I was exactly in your shoe back in 2015 when we bought a house with a pool (which we didn't want as we literally have 2 pool clubs within almost walking distance). 1. You will get alot of help here and learn - as I have 2. Things happend over days not hours - I was impatient at the beginning...

Some lessons learned over the years / this year (although YMMV): 1. as for the initial dose of chlorine, I found "more the better" - e.g., overdose chlorine from the beginning seemed to work better for me then adding "some" multiple times throughout the day (not giving algae any chance to come...

Thanks for your quick response! and Yes, I have a similar one from Home Depot :) If this gets worse, maybe a pro / commercial grade one...

I think I have tons of information around what to spray, etc. for these ants from this forum. Now my question is: 1. should I pour in some "less-thicker-than-usual" concrete down this hole?
