This is next on my list....Thank you....I will check the OCLT and see what I get.

By turn off do you mean set the choline output to 0% or actually disconnect the power supply?

I understand that the SWCG stops producing chlorine when water falls below a certain temperature....I think mine is 50 degrees. I recently tested my Chlorine and there was none with a CYA of 20 and salt 3300ppm.....My question is how do I tell if my SWCG is not working when the water is below...

I noticed cloudy water last week so I checked my numbers with the test kit and had 0 chlorine, 8 ph, and 20 cya and filters were extremely dirty. This weekend I went into pool mode! Filters soaked, cleaned and replaced...added "stuff" (CYA, 6%bleach, MA) to get my numbers back to acceptable...

The stars at night......

Everything is working as it should.....He replaced the 1.25 HP pump with a 1.75 HP....Said there have been several of the 1.25 going out lately.

Update: Repair guy replaced the capacitor which had some burn markings on the terminal. Tried to restart the pump to no avail. He replaced the pump with a new one at no charge because it was still under warranty.

OMG....I just posted about a very similar issue. I hope this virus doesnt keep spreading...lol

I have a separate pump for my 3 rockport waterfalls....I have them programmed to come on at a certain time each day. Well after noticing they did not come on at the set time, I began troubleshooting. I checked the breaker and noticed it was tripped. So I reset it and tried to restart the pump...

I agree....I have been following the recommended levels here and I also was battling the high pH issue. I decided to add boratic acid and that has seemed to stabilize my pH rise issue. Here are the PB recommended levels.....I do not agree with the Chlorine or the TA for the Aquabright: Tip #5...

I received an email from my PB with several tips as swim season begins. This one caught my attention b/c I never know if I should treat AquaBright as plaster or fiberglass when testing water and using PoolMath. Here is info PB suggested : Note If you have a pool with aquaBRIGHT then your pool’s...

Thanks to everyone for their reply!

Should I be concerned about TA being a little high with the other numbers almost spot on? FC 7 pH 7.6 TA 100 CH 350 CYA 70 CSI first box-.26 2nd box -.34 Water Temp 63 Salt 3700 I run 3 rock ports an hour a day that does provide a little aeration. Pump is run 4 hours a day also with SWG set...

$165 month plus $85 every 3 months to clean the cartridges/salt cell......this was from my PB

Thanks for the reply Jim....the texture on the bottom of the pool is pretty smooth...not slippery. We had the installer leave the stairs much rougher to prevent sliping. We had him leave the tanning ledge somewhere in between these 2...he suggested not going as smooth as the bottom b/c kids can...
