Thanks, Jim. Installer charged the salt to pool and i did not check it while awaiting my Taylor test kit. Green light indicated acceptable salt level until yesterday, although they may have shorted the charge by a bit. I would not be surprised. Good chance sensor is malfunctioning, so I will...

Also need to add that installers wired the power supply so that it does not shut down when pump goes off (i.e., it remains powered, but cell stops producing due to no flow). Is this a potential problem/cause of the malfunction?

New SWG Pentair IChlor-30 in my 20,000 gal. pool. Everything has been fine up until now, but unit suddenly shut down due to low salt (flashing red light indicates <2000 ppm salt level). Did a complete analysis two days ago and everything seemed fine: pH 7.5 FC 6.5...

Yes, that will be the plan. It is covered and locked while we are not here. Plan is to be here through the pandemic scare and then alternating weeks. We have never really had any trouble with the tub, so I'm not overly concerned. Now I just need to replace the liner in my pool and I'm set...

No film or indication of any contamination. Looks crystal clear. Has not been used, so I will balance and shock and take over th maintenance while I am here. Sorry for my spa guys to lose the business, but since I am at the house for the duration I really should be doing it myself. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply. No ozonator. Cool with balance and shock. Probably go with bromine to account for times when house in unoccupied (although I do not anticipate leaving here before the end of the summer).

Greetings, all. It's been some time since I have posted on any forum, mostly because my pool has been "trouble-free" thanks to this website. I am now dealing with the hot tub at my vacation home in PA, where I am isolated due to the virus. My usual service guys are prevented from working due...

You are a sturdier soul than I if you plan to swim until the end of September in Green Bay! On a serious note, as a Baquacil convert, I like Leebo's suggestion. Cleaning the pool using the Baqua system is an exercise in futility. Converting to the TFP method will take some time and be a...

Thanks. I expect it will be my next enhancement.

If anyone has experience with this Hayward needle valve, I would like to know before buying one. I also find the current valve difficult to adjust. In addition, it restricts flow to a little over 4 (out of 5) on the rotometer scale. I would have thought they would give you a valve that allows...

The 3/8" upgrade kit from PST Pool Supplies (available through Amazon) includes check valves and they seem just fine. You can get the upgrade kit as a stand-alone if you have not included it in your original order @...

For anyone following this post, I think I have the answer from another thread. I am going to stick with the manual dosing numbers to remain entirely safe, as this is the general recommendation among knowledgable folks. So, the liquidator is useful, but in my 20,000 gal. pool (a lot of sunshine...

Thanks. I had the same question posted elsewhere. I will make appropriate adjustments in order to get back to the manual dosing target. I don't really mind making manual adjustments if they are necessary when the LQ can't quite keep up. As we say trouble free does not mean maintenance free...

My pump is single speed, but I can afford to run it a little longer each day. I have been reviewing posts on target FC/CYA range for pools using SWG, which, of course, are different than manual addition BBB. The reasoning for lower FC (and higher CYA) is the continuous nature of the FC...

Try County Line. Tell Marty I recommended them. 12.5% is most convenient. Just be careful handling the full jug - I have a bleached out pair of Crocs as evidence!
