I have a SWG Hayward Turbo Cell 15 40,000g that was recently replaced because i didn't think it was working properly since it wasn't producing enough chlorine. I told the pool tech and people from warranty that i thought it wasn't the cell and maybe the actual salt water generator. I noticed...

They around 6.8 to 7.8 when it's working and when it went to high salt it doesn't say anything just a line. , I replaced some water and seems to be working now. So hopefully it continues.

Thank you very much, that makes a lot of sense. So is that why it starts working for an hr or so then goes into that mode? When ever i turn it off and turn it back on it starts working again.

Anyone ever had any issues with their T15 system reporting high salt? The system will run normally and produce cholorine, but after running for a while the light that says high salt turns on. Salt is 3200 on the system and about 3100 when checked manually. Also chlorine is a little low at about...

Thanks for the reply! If my valves for both skimmers and main drain were all open I would get almost no flow on the skimmer. So what I do is have one skimmer fully open, and the main drain and other skimmer partially closed. I notice I get a lot of build up of debri on top if both skimmers are...

I have an 18k gallon pool and have a 1 hp pump feeding from a main drain and two skimmers. I was wondering if 1 hp enough. I have a waterfall that is about 6 ft high with a 2 hp pump, does anyone think maybe when they installed the equipment they switched the pumps? I ask because I notice that I...

I have a uv ozone genarator on my salt water pool. Recently I started getting air in my pump from it. Does anyone know if I need it, because I was thinking of getting rid of it. From what I have read, it's something you really don't need. According to the pool contractor it helps keep my ph...

I had recently changed the ceramic seal and it stopped leaking for about a month. I'm thinking that I may have done something wrong and its leaking again.

Noticed a little bit of oil residue on the bottom part of the pump. Anyone know if that's normal or where it could be coming from?

The power light and generating light turn off and on, mostly stays off. Called the pool company and they checked it out and said they would just switch it out as a result of being under warranty. The actual computer and salt cell are only like 13 months old. Do you believe you know what it could be?

Thanks guys, great advice!

Ok, thanks. I'll do that. Do I have to do anything in particular when the salt cell goes back on if I have it on bleach for a week?

Yes, the cell is cleaned every three months. I believe it's something with the actual computer because the light turns off. About the bleach, any unscented bleach from the store will do???

Just found out my swg won't be replaced until another week. It is only an year old and already messed up! Anyone have any recommendations on how to keep FC high enough for the next week. I was thinking of turning it off and adding bleach, is this pretty consistent to what you experts do? Also...

I noticed today that the lights showing generating and power are off on my swg but it's still reading the salt level. Does anyone know if that swg will turn off if it doesn't need to generate salt, I have it set like at 50% running for like 8 hrs because it's been generating more than enough FC...
