Interesting. So if you can bypass the sensor to allow the pump to continue to run, can you bypass the sensor to allow the SWG to run as well?

With the weather being warmer, it’s time to get the SWG going again. Tested and balanced the water. Cleaned the SWG and put everything back together. On the Hayward Pro Logic, it’s telling me “chlorinator off, no flow”. I don’t know how long it has been saying this. Could have been months. I...

That makes sense. So why would you recommend a T-CELL-15 over the 9 for my 21k gal pool? What advantage does going to a stronger cell provide? Are there any disadvantages?

Ok, so this is how a cell starts to die then? It just kinda loses it sensitivity? Also, you can drop in any cell into the system? I know you define which cell you are using in your settings, but I didn't know you could simple use whichever cell you wanted. I thought they were specific to the...

Update on this. I cleaned the cell again this week. It is now reading 2400 ppm. High enough that the cell doesn't shut off from the low slat warning, but still a 1000 ppm difference. I'm happy it's staying on, but this is the largest difference I've ever seen from this much servicing of the...

I will check that right now. I cleaned my SWG last month and again yesterday. I have a separate post out there for a large discrepancy between my actual tests (3400) and the equipment reading (2200). Alright. I'll do that. Yeah, there's no way I'd adding any more salt. Considering how much...

I'm on those sites. I use the app all the time. I'm a premium member. My current CSI is 0.51. I'm sure it wasn't that for the longest time, but I couldn't tell you what it was since, as stated above, I haven't been maintaining for the last three months.

Background: I haven't been able to physically service my pool in three months, but I'm back on it now. From the readings, obviously, there's a lot of work to do. This post is for one particular oddity that I don't really have an answer for. I'm coming across white scaly flakes at the bottom of...

My SWG won't turn of due to a low salt warning it's throwing me. The equipment is reading 2200 ppm but my testing is consistently saying 3400 ppm. Obviously, the water is where it's suppose to be, salt-wise. I clean the cell at regular intervals. When this has happened in the past, I'll do an...

Makes sense. So rebuilding 280 should address all of the issues I mentioned in my post? Speed of the cleaner, cleaning power, and the sweep hose?

My cleaner has been absolutely great ever since my pool was installed nearly three years ago. Recently, I noticed the sweep hose had disconnected and the cleaner was getting stuck in the same corner all the time. The sweep hose end looked tired, so I cut off a half an inch of it and reinstalled...

It’s not what I asked. There was far more specificity than that. I would encourage you to reread my questions if you are interested in providing constructive answers. Thanks for taking the time to provide some context. It’s appreciated and helpful. I currently test at least a couple times a...

Yup. I entirely understand what you’re saying and I believe I am fully capable of having that intimate knowledge of my system. That being said, I’m still looking for some answers to my questions.

Yeah, but I wont do that. That’s just not my style or preference at all. If I’m reading your comments correctly, it sounds like there are options out there, but they’re ones that people may be reluctant to list or would deem unreliable. Knowing test strips are bad (I’m guessing that’s being...

I have a pool I’ve been taking care of for two years now, no problem, with a K-2006 and K-1766. Other than a couple of issues in the beginning that you all helped me with, it’s been smooth sailing. It’s fair to say I’m pretty anal and keep on top of the maintenance daily, which has costed me a...
