The heater works, then it doesn't work. Runs for 5 minutes, then shuts off and tries to turn on then sometimes successful, sometimes not. But no error codes. Hmmmmmmm. What could it be? It is very hard to diagnose an inconsistent problem. However at this point, I am pretty Dang sure it is the...

Everything seems to be working. The cells panel shows salt good and status generating. Plus I have verified that the cell is actually generating chlorine by testing water from the inlet. The pool FCL is 6.5, but with the cell on 100%, the water at the inlet reads 9.0. So everything says that the...

But what about winter when the sun is about 1/2 as strong, or even during the summer when a cover is on the pool for a...

Is it a correct statement that the sun burns off a percentage of FC everyday versus a fixed amount of FC? If this is the case then my SWG should reach some type of equilibrium with regards to FC and then based upon sunny days, pool cover and contaminates there should be a range of FC that is...

Last year my pool was built and I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that I used it year round and spent quite a bit heating it during this last winter. After all it is Southern California and by the beach winters are milder than inland. But my dilemma is that I like my...
