Had the pool co out, they said Hayward said this would happen without a firmware update, despite that the cell continued to say Invalid Cell. He reset the breaker to the panel and the notification went away and it all looks to be as it was, displaying the chlorination percentage, etc. However...

This is great! I couldn’t find this anywhere! Thank you, James!

Thank you! I’ll let you know what I find out!

Hi all, getting an error message that there is an “invalid cell”. I took the SWG out and cleaned it, reinstalled and restarted the pump. Still getting the message. This is a new SWG just about 1 year. Do I need to “reset the cell” from the board after cleaning? Could that be why I’m getting the...

I’ve been struggling with a high PH 8.0 and high TA 125. Dumping MA every other day it seems to get the PH down but I just can’t get it past 7.6 which won’t let me get my TA down with aeration. I would appreciate any thoughts you may have. My equipment info should be in my bio and my testing...

This is fantastic! Thank you for your kind helpful reply!

Friends, (first time pool owner and a bit overwhelmed here ) Found what I think is black algae (did the scrape test onto white paper and it was greenish) I have a vinyl pool built in 2004 I believe. I know they say there shouldn't be BA in a vinyl pool, but there are wrinkles and sm divots in...
