Update: I took the generator off and there was quite amount of scaling in there despite it only having been running for just under two months. Cleaned it out although there still some on one end. Going to do again Sunday when I have a bit more time. I was able to reverse the direction and...

Generator is horizontal with hump up. I do not believe there is enough clearance for it to be hump down. RPM low speed is 1800. Pump is a Pentair SuperFlo VS.

Hi - Thanks for the replies. Not home now so can’t post pics but the pump doesn’t turn off overnight. Just slows down the flow rate. Perhaps it is too low for the aquarite. The flow sensor was replaced and is working. Reads no flow when pump is off and registers flow appropriately when on...

I have a new (replaced this June) Hayward Aquarite T15 generator. It has started flashing “Check Salt” and ”Inspect Cell” every morning. I have a variable speed pump that slows down overnight; it seems like something is going awry then. When this is happening, the salt level is also measuring...

Thanks for the replies. Ugh. What a nightmare. Unsurprisingly I’ve not heard back from the installer. I’m going to push Tuesday. Not really sure I want to ask him to install another one—I think it is time to move on to someone else. I think what I need to ask for is my money back. I’m...

Thanks. Would welcome any advice.

Photo here--hard to know exactly where it was, but this was where the diver was working. It was on the bottom along the seam of the step.

We had our pool liner replaced this May. Over the last two or three weeks, I've been trying to determine whether we had a leak. At first it seemed to start slowly but then got much worse to the point that we were losing 2-3" of water a day. I had a pool diver come today. He found and...

It is a vinyl liner. My test results just now: Free Chlorine - 3.42ppm Total Chlorine - 3.42ppm pH - 8.1 Alkalinity - 121ppm Adjusted Alkalinity - 112ppm Calcium Hardness - 204ppm Cyanuric Acid - 29ppm Salt is about 3400ppm Temp is 82. Thanks.

I am having issues controlling the PH in my pool. It bounces from 7.9 to 8.2, sometimes as high as 8.3. I've added chemicals per the direction of my local pool store and they have had little to no effect. I understand that PH will be higher with a saltwater pool. Do I have a problem to...

Old T had a crack at top and was leaking.

Well, scratch that. Still not working right. The sensor is obviously working because I can get the board to read flow and no flow by manually moving the sensor to and from the contact. I think the issue may be the T-housing. That was replaced too and this one is different than the original...
