Ok. My understanding is that the pH rises because the SWG produces lots of tiny hydrogen gas bubbles and these bubbles aerate the water pulling out the carbonates and carbon dioxide from the water and outgassing them to the air. This aeration causes a rise in pH with no change in Total...

So if resistance is within spec, and the circuit board thermistor is freshly replaced, and the plates are clean, why would it read 112 F when it should be 89 F? Does that point to the board?

Thank you

I am not talking about the thermistor (AS32 2R025) on the circuit board. I am talking about the T cell thermistor. I am tired of T cells failing. I have had brand name and offbrand. The longest lasting was offbrand. They always fail just out of warranty period. I took an old one and...

Maybe on a resin above ground, but the concrete with diamondbrite… installer actually recommended it if no one will be swimming and trying to rectify a low chlorine issue. The FCs lead to increasing the ph. In two days it will be normal. Good reminder. I had recently cleaned and reset, maybe 4...

I went to do this… and since a few hours had passed, it already had made adjustments and the numbers are in sync and the light quit blinking.

My flow sensor went out, we had a lot of rain and the salt went down to 2600 (Taylor k1766). Pool is clear, and no algae. Because of all that was going on, I took the safe oath and pushed the ph low 6.7 and FC high 8. My stabilizer was low, so I added and I do not have a reading right now. Put...

I am wanting to communicate with the Aquarite Goldline SWG as well. I identified the RS485 port and bought an IoT wifi interface for it. I simply want to read values sent by the SWG (whatever they are) -- even just getting an error code to my home automation would make me thrilled, but other...

I just replaced my cell a little over one week ago. Long story short, I didn’t realize it was failing and got the salt too high and had to drain a lot of water. Chemistry is good (and has been for one week), but chlorine level was high initially after the partial drain/fill. I had the set off...

My SWG hit its service cycle and was not detected for a couple days. Chloride was low as a result (0.7). I added some liquid chlorine and brought it up. Noticed a couple (4-5) of small spots on the bottom of the pool and started increasing the brushing with the nylon brush. When it didn’t...
