I installed this new in March of this year after just under three years with a CPSC-36. I came home on July 2 to find the display completely blank. It appeared a component on the main board overheated and caused the ribbon wire to melt. After speaking with customer service and emailing all the...

Yes. Flow detector comes first. But also, my manual specified that it should be installed so it is "on top" of the cell, like in the diagram I attached. From your photos, it looks like yours is installed on the bottom. You might try rotating your cell 180 degrees. I can't imagine that it would...

Interesting. I just installed a CPX-36 about 6 weeks ago and the cell is a different design. Mine has a third port that needs to be capped (cap included). The idea is to allow for different installation configurations. Also, my install manual specifed that the part of the cell where the cord is...

OK, so I would check everything Jason suggested. I know when my water level gets too low the skimmer will suck air intermittently, which sometimes causes a water fault light (and I can see big air bubbles flowing through the SWG). But mine resets itself very quickly after flow is restored. If...

If you have the SWG powered independantly of the pump and are using the internal timer of the SWG, it is possible that the SWG is turning on when the pump is not running, which would cause the "water fault". This is a built in safety to prevent the cell from being powered with no water flow. It...

Thanks. This is my first pool so don't have a lot of experience with different setups. I just wanted to make sure rigid PVC would be ok. That's how I plan to redo it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My booster pump is plumbed with Polaris brand flexible hose (3/4"). Is there a reason the installer didn't use rigid PVC? I'm getting ready to redo my equipment pad and wondering If hard plumbing would be better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the responses guys. I agree on the tank; brand probably doesn't matter. I was asking more about any differences in the valves or internal components between brands. For example, Sand Dollar SD-60 is available with or without "Clear-Pro Technology". Is it worth the $50 difference in...

I have been happy with the filtering performance but need to replace my Tagelus TA-60 due to a leak in the tank. I will most likely replace it with a filter/multi-valve combo so am wondering if you guys can weigh in on brand preference and why you like what you like? Price is certainly a big...

I use a 25 gallon compressor and weight down all the heads with bricks except the last one in the zone/run. I'm in Georgia now but used this method for years in Minnesota with no problems.

I may have missed it but is this a brand new pool? The SWG has never been used before? You really should test salt conc prior to adding rather than rely on charts in the manual.

Once you raise Cl to shock level, make sure you have enough bleach on hand to keep it there until you pass the OCLT. Have you read this link: pool-school/shocking_your_pool Think of "shocking" as a process, not a product. If you stop halfway through the process (before passing the OCLT), you...

CPSC36 on my pool for the third year. Control board was replaced once under warranty; fantastic customer service. Other than that, very trouble-free.
