    Circupool RJ60+ no flow issue

    Thank you Mike... I am planning on calling Monday. It might still have some warranty left (if it is covered). I'm not disassembling until I find out for sure!

    Circupool RJ60+ no flow issue

    I am having problems with my circupool rj60+. The no flow issue.... There is plenty of flow. (I also made a test jumper - no change) The no flow led continues to flash. Has anyone directly connected the low flow switch internally to the rj (bypassing the connection point of the flow switch)? Or...

    Phosphate levels? Who's testing?

    When I converted to SWG's this year I also could not get my FC up. The SWG manufacture told me one thing to do was to test for phosphates, as this was the likely culprit. I bought the same test kit as you. First test was 50 (they said to try to get it to 0)! I added the required amount of...

    new gfci 20amp breaker tripping on new install of pool pump & other equipment

    This has been a while, but what did you find to correct the problem? I recently bought a vs pump (with the swg on the same timer) and am having intermittent breaker trips. I just ordered the siemens breaker to see if that helps. Next I will switch breakers (I have two pumps and swg's). Then it...

    Swg controls on timer

    Very important: SWG's rated output are for 24/7. You may have to go with a larger SWG and/or run your pump longer. I wired my pump and SWG into the same mechanical timer. When I lose power it is not a problem, both units restart simultaneously and there is zero risk of explosion.

    vgreen 165 tripping breaker

    I did read about these - and it will fit my breaker box! I wasn't sure if anyone had any experience with switching out their square d, ge, etc. breakers with these and if they helped. They run about $130. If they are an improvement, it would be worth it. Being new to variable frequency drives...

    Addendum to non recommended products?

    CCH makes these non-stabilized chlorine tablets for use in a special feeder. I almost went with these, but went with SWG's instead. CCH Endurance | CCH

    vgreen 165 tripping breaker

    Hello! Has anyone had problems with a vgreen motor tripping your gfci breaker when it changes from one step to another? I have a one month old 165 motor that seeems to trip (about once a week) my 20 amp gfci ge breaker when it changes from step 1 to step2. I can tell this because it is on a...

    Inground pools and Septic systems

    Our field is 20' away, no issues in 30+ years. That being said, the field is BELOW (downhill) from the pool. If it was uphill from the pool I agree that you would need a barrier.

    New to Saltwater Generators

    I'm done posting. I don't need criticized. Thank you for all that genuinely wanted to help. I was going to update so that anyone in the future that had to contend with my personal conversion to saltwater would have an easier go at it. The tech at circupool agreed that this is not an algae issue...

    Is there something else to test for that is not usually tested that could be giving me this issue. Its not phosphates, nor algae. What else could impede my fc?

    This is my Fourth time with SLAM, pool will not keep any chlorine up. Ton of money.

    ? I have tried TFP advice (because my 30+ yrs with a 50k pool would not work). I need someone in my exact situation (large pool, conversion to salt) that found the solution. Typical protocols are not working.

    Jmatron: Update: I missed your post so I had already started on this project. 1) I initially put 6 gallons of 10% liquid bleach in - it raised the chlorine to 10 2) I finished raising the fc to 20 with cal hypo. 3) I kept fc up to 18.5 till midnight 4) morning #'s fc at 2.4, cc at 0.8, 7.2 pH...
