While diagram #1 from the position of the pump can be assumed a top view, 2 and 3 are not labeled either way. I have reached out to CP for clarification and will update when I hear back. :cheers:

Review the several diagrams on page 14 detailing the flow switch in three vertical, downward flow positions. Are those incorrect and dangerous?

If you have your CP manual turn to pages 14-15. Look at the several recommended installation diagrams on page 14 then read the specific instructions for installing the flow switch, page 15 line #5. Your guidance sure seems to conflict with the manufacturers published instructions.

Did your flow switch actually fail? Please be clear. Your origional install position was  not incorrect according to the CPool manual page 14. How did you make your determination. Again be clear, are you stating the CircuPool manual is incorrect and creating a possible dangerous condition...

So with broken spring you think the plastic paddle will sink. Have you tested to confirm that it is negatively buoyant?

Explain how a plastic flow paddle will respond to gravity in still water, sink or float? If it floats your recommendation would result in the situation you are trying to avoid.

#1 - Yes #2 - you want 6-12" of straight pipe before the flow switch. The flow switch can be installed after the cell which is considered straight pipe, page 15, #5 of manual. Many here will advise not installing the flow switch in a down flow on a vertical pipe despite it being shown as an...

Write down the results before you move to the next test. Was that 10 1/2 or 11? :scratch:

Probably organic stains maybe tannins from trees or shrubs nearby.

Best to find some 100% generic ascorbic acid, vitamin C pills, white. No dyes or other metals.

EDIT-- never mind I found the origional thread. Did Flappy post his Phosphate results? What is the issue with your cell performance Flap?

Following along with this thread. I had some very rapid scaling experiences with my cell last year and purchased the Taylor Phosphate test kit K-1106, to help diagnose my issues.

Trim the trees over the pool if possible and yes a robot or suction sided cleaner will make your life easier.

Taylor K-1766 test kit. My water was at 4500ppm after 6 years of a drain/refill and prior to adding my SWCG. Yes I could taste the salt. Now at 3500ppm not so much. I suspect using more of the lower % liquid raises salt faster.

Well done you have made good progress in the last couple of weeks. Here are a few short videos to explain the TFP concepts.
