Thank you for your help, James! Greatly appreciate your guidance! Cell was tested, failed, and a free warranty replacement was obtained.

Understood, sir. My procedure is: 10 ml sample in Taylor tube w/ sample sizer. Add stir bar, place on speed stir and start spin. One drop of Chromate (R0630) indicator. Add one drop of Silver Nitrate (R0718) at a time until mixture turns from yellow to red. Multiply drops by 200 to get...

Thank you, JamesW. I'll give that a go. I saw a trick about setting the cell model to a different value to get the cell to limp along -- anyone think that is a good/bad idea?

JamesW, Cell is went into service in July 2017 so just over two years old. Salinity is measures at 3600 using taylor drop kit (chromate/silver nitrate).

Greetings! My Hayward AquaRite 900 SWG (T-CELL 925) is reporting low-salt and will not generate. Taylor salt drop test reports 3600, so appears something is up with the SWG. Cell was cleaned and soaked in MA solution, but problem still persists. Full test and SWG diagnostic readings below...

No auto-fill, just an overflow drain. CYA is holding so far... tested still at 80 yesterday. Added Boric acid (10lbs) to bring borate back up to near 50.

Tested 4:30PM Friday at FC 16 CC <0.5 Tested 10:30AM Saturday at FC 15 CC 0.0 No chlorine additions during this time period, so I did technically pass OCLT even with 3 hrs of sunlight still on the pool :p

Down to FC 23 as of this afternoon. Lost about 7 over 48 hrs. Mostly sunny, but some rain yesterday afternoon.

Yep, it shall be off while I drift to the teens and try the OCLT again. :)

Down to FC 30 as of approx 5:00pm.

Pool is crystal clear and the CC test often comes up clear or only very slight pink tint. I’ll let it drift as you suggest into the teens. Thanks for the help!

5:15 test was FC 34 and CC 0. Turned the cell on to 100% to see if it can add to the FC number before sundown and convince myself it still works :p

As of about 6am: FC 44 CC 0.5 Failed. Another day it is. Not going to add prior to heading to work. I have 13 of headroom and it should be a bit cloudy this afternoon.

Starting OCLT number: FC 48 CC 0

As of about 6:15 was down to: FC 35 CC 0.5 Added another gallon ahead of OCLT measurement that will be done in about 2 hrs. I wanted to be sure I’d keep above 31 over night.
