Aha, thx...so, if I had first set it to zero on the easy touch and then disabled it on the easy touch it would have been fine I guess. No real need to disable if i set to zero I guess.

I was trying to lower my Cl level in order to get rid of some iron stains. I disabled the Intellechlor and also set chlorine level to zero on the Easy Touch. Kept waiting for the chlorine level to drop (it was pretty high at 10). the level just didn't drop after many days. It's winter but...

Thx all...still waiting for Cl to drop...since there is little or no demand on it, it just sits there...well, at least there is no chance of it turning green, lol

I previously reported iron staining my pool using Morton pellets. I want to start the AA method to hopefully get rid of the stains. They are mainly where i dumped the majority of the pellets, but there is some light staining where i scattered pellets in other areas. My roadblock is lowering...

Thanks for reply...I thought that as well...pouring rain so just dumped...bad day all around...still, it obviously puts iron into the water...just regular Morton's pellets

Good news is that I was able to rid the pool (for now?) of the dreaded black algae. My SWG went kaput while I was not around, Cl went to zero and even before the pool could turn green the Black stuff got a foothold. Nothing that elevate d chlorine level and a wire brush couldn't remedy...

See photo...mystery solved...very failed sensor

Thanks again, will report back after testing with new temp sensor. I have a lot of stuff in my workbench, but no 10K (or any) resistors, lol.

Thanks again. I'm now a bit concerned...the disconnected resistance shows about 7500 which is pretty close to the actual water temp of about 88. Not sure if there is anything else I can troubleshoot before the new sensor arrives. By the way, this is the same type of sensor as the air one that...

Thanks, will do. But I thought these sensors either worked or not...maybe with a little drift over time. It is just odd, to me, that it suddenly jumped up by 20 degrees. It still responds to temp changes but at a roughly + 20. I just wanted to make sure it isn't my EasyTouch control system...

All of a sudden started reading high by about 20 degrees?

Splice or replace cable? I have found in the past that splicing low voltage wiring sometimes doesn't work due to resistance in the splice? I think a new cable is like $65

Firmware shows 2.11 - VSF

Also, as I continued to troubleshoot, I may have found the culprit... I found a slice in the ET to Pump comm cable. Not very big but can't really tell if it also nicked the internal green or yellow wires. Picture attached. I pulled back the protective outer sheath to get a better look. Does...
