I just called Marina and ordered the EVO 640iQ and fine filter. I kept the standard filter for all the live oak leaves after our wind storms, but I also ordered the fine filter because we have flagstone that is disintegrating and so we get a lot of sand and fine debris too. This way I can change...

I did. So far the salt reading on the replacement cell is accurate. But the last one did that for a few weeks too before the system started acting up, so I am keeping an eye on it.

I called Salt Solutions today and they are shipping me a replacement cell. I will say, Salt Solutions has had great customer service through all my issues. Hopefully the third cell will be the charm.

Then perhaps I should just go buy an OEM cell and try to see if Salt Solutions will take a return.

This is not an older Hayward cell. This is a 5 week old refurbished call from Salt Solutions. My second one, because the first one died within 3 months of use. That first cell from Salt Solutions did not present these same symptoms, that one simply stopped producing any chlorine. I am going to...

Numbers from this morning. Default menu: 81°, 2500ppm -27.25V -4.98A 75° 2000ppm +27.37V +4.87A 76° 1900ppm

I have taken a few readings. 9/2 5:30pm -26.41V -4.87A 80° 2000PPM +26.73V +4.75A 80° 1900PPM 9/3 7:50am -27.21V -4.9A 77° 2000PPM +27.21V +5.07A 76° 2000PPM 9/3 2:15pm Default menu showed 85° 2900PPM +26.73 +4.66A 81° 1800PPM (I did not switch polarity this time, I was going...

After more observation, it seems the salt level only drops when the cell is switching polarity. Otherwise it will maintain whatever salt level I save. I am still scratching my head over this. Any ideas?

Last night I changed the VS pump to run at 75% (instead of 50%) in case it was the low flow that was causing the salt reading to drop. I had recalibrated the salt level to 3500ppm around 5:30pm, and this morning it reads 2700ppm.

I am not sure how to test the flow switch. Do you know where I can find that info? I actually need to update my signature. We recently replaced the pump to the Hayward Tristar VS950 (our original dual speed pump was damaged by a hail storm). We run it from 3:30am-8:00am at 75% and 5:30pm-8:00pm...

It is not inverted. My original cell was never inverted, so I never thought to do that. Your theory makes sense because we run the pump at a lower speed in the evenings, which might be contributing to the lower salt readings. I tried spinning it around to have it be inverted, and water just...

I did when I first installed it, yes. The method is different on the ProLogic system, but yes, it is set for T-15.

Pool salt cell history: 2016 pool build, Hayward ProLogic system with T-cell 9 2020 noticed the cell was not producing as much chlorine, set the percentage higher 2021- learned the hard way not to add salt when the system says “low salt”. Original t-cell 9 reached the end of its usable life...

That was it! I had already tried switching the main breaker from my house control panel, but that didn’t work. So after your reply I went out and flipped the breakers inside the pool control box and it worked. Thank you so much Jim!

Freeze protection worked fine for most of the winter. This morning I woke up to 36 degrees. The controller says that freeze protection is on. The pool and spa lights came on for the freeze protection just fine, but neither of the pumps (main pump for pool/spa and separate pump for waterfall) are...
