Hello,
This morning I took my Polaris Robot out of the pool and noticed a pretty thick palm frawn wrapped around one of the brushes. I removed it, cleaned the canister and threw it back in the pool for another round of cleaning only to find that the front wheels and brushes weren't turning...
Update:
ran an OCLT as per the instructions. Was at 3.5ppm last night, this morning was at 2.5 which falls into the range of "clean water". Turned the cell back on, waited about 30 minutes, checked chlorine right out of the return and was at 3.5ppm, so the cell is definitely working. Starting...
Yes, it's definitely the 1400. Thanks for those numbers. I'll keep an eye on it. Today it held strong at 3.5 - 4ppm all day at 80%. I just re-tested now (3.5) , shut off pump and will check again tomorrow morning before the pump turns back on to see if maybe algae is to blame.
hello, yes. getting 24 vDC at the cell. My CYA is at 90-ish and I run my pump for 12 hours a day at 80%. My old cell could keep up no problem before it died out. If you guys are saying "cell reversing" for 3 hours is normal, then I guess I'll just have to run my pump longer. Can you confirm...
hello, yes. getting 24 vDC at the cell. My CYA is at 90-ish and I run my pump for 12 hours a day at 80%. I downloaded the jandy workbook and was going to go through all of the voltage checks on the circuit board sometime this week. My old cell could keep up no problem before it died out. If...
Ok, thanks. I was under the impression that during the reversing cycle, it did not produce chlorine. BTW, now been over 2 hours in the reversing stage.
I dumped 2 gallons of liquid chlorine in it as soon as I noticed there was an issue. This morning, i replaced the flow sensor and power cable with the new ones that came with my new cell. I put it in boost (100%) about 1.5 hours ago and it still says it's reversing. Not sure what an OCLT is...
UPDATE: Cell Reversing is a non issue, normal cycle. Must've had an algae bloom that was eating up my chlorine.
Recently replaced my 6 year old salt cell with a brand new Jandy PLC1400. Hadn't checked the pool since last week, went out this afternoon and saw the water was cloudy. Checked...
Back from the dead after 3 years, on her maiden voyage. One full 3:30 cycle complete, no issues. The kicker is, this cord, which I amputated the swivel from, was less tangled than my new cord with the swivel after a cleaning cycle.
Update!
Got it open with some channel lock pliers. You can see the contact point is worn all the way through. The more narrow end opens by sticking a screwdriver in one of the slots on the contact board, then turning the other end. You can see all the buildup and corrosion on the side where...
